This is the second of my Hive Mind exclusive stories. I just started it so it isn't as far along as the Husband I Left and probably won't be available on Amazon until late 2026.
Two years ago, my life ended. Two years ago, Griffin Ashthorn, alpha of the Strang pack and my mate, looked me full in the face and had no memory of me. He could no longer feel our bond. He couldn't remember a single moment of our life together. I couldn't reach him. I couldn't stop him as he turned to another. I could only watch and feel as our bond was ripped to shreds inside me. I was cast out from my home and left for dead. Two years ago, Clara Lockwood died.
On the edges of the human city, I built a new life from the ashes of the old. I found a new family. I built myself a new home. I thought I had left the past in the past. But now Griffin is here. He remembers everything. He says everything that happened wasn't what it seemed. He's begging for a chance to make things right.
He's asking me for my love again. He wants us to bond again. He doesn't realize he's asking for something I no longer have to give.

Every Version of You (Soundtrack Series #2) - Excerpt
He chased the spotlight. She was made for the quiet. Yet somehow, they found each other in the space between. Nate Carson carries the weight of a team, a city, and a story everyone thinks they already know. Tessa Lane carries the weight of a past she's finally learning how to stand up from. Neither of them is looking for love, especially not the kind that makes everything else come undone. But sometimes two lives collide in a way that feels inevitable. What grows between them is real, fragile, and transformative... until the world intrudes and pressure cracks. Every Version of You is not a conventional romance. While it contains deep connection, intimacy, and love, it centers on personal transformation rather than a guaranteed HEA or HFN. This is a character-driven, emotionally immersive story about love, loss, and the versions of ourselves we become when life doesn't follow the plan. It's about the version of him she knew best... and the version of herself she must become when love changes and leaves its mark forever. Content Note: This story contains mature themes, open-door romance, emotionally heavy content, and a non-traditional romantic arc. For a full, spoiler-aware list of content considerations, please visit: natashaderouchie.com This story is part of the Soundtrack Series and is shared here as an excerpt. The full novel is available on Amazon and in Kindle Unlimited.

The Terms of Us - EXCERPT
Note: This is an exclusive preview. The full novel releases February 24 and will be available on Amazon and in Kindle Unlimited. Julian North doesn't believe in love. He believes in leverage. When family pressure threatens his carefully controlled life, he drafts the simplest solution possible-a marriage of convenience. Clean. Negotiated. Emotion-proof. Lucy Bennett agrees for practical reasons. With her mother's fragile health and her family depending on her steadiness, security isn't optional-it's survival. The terms are clear. No emotions required. But somewhere between shared mornings and unguarded moments, the arrangement begins to feel dangerously real. Julian softens. Lucy hopes. And for a moment, it feels like they might be building something neither of them expected. Until three words change everything. When silence replaces intimacy and outside forces threaten the fragile foundation they built, Lucy refuses to beg for what isn't freely offered. She walks. Now Julian must decide whether protecting his heart is worth losing the only woman who ever made him want more. A contemporary billionaire marriage-of-convenience romance featuring emotional slow burn, grumpy/sunshine tension, family interference, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
Relationships and Other Bad Ideas
Lexi Nelson interests me in a way no woman has in years. Unfortunately, she wants nothing to do with me and makes so secret of that fact. My friends are baffled watching me chase after this cold, prickly woman who seems to have nothing but disdain for my very existence. One passionate encounter in a parking lot, however, leaves me convinced that Lexi isn't what she seems to be, and if I can just get her to let me in, I'll find enough warmth to last a lifetime. The only thing that's certain, however, I can't walk away now even if I wanted to. Once bitten, twice shy. I know what happens when I let men get too close; I know not to trust their sweet whispered words and promises of love. I won't let myself be hurt that way again. So I will ignore the way Daniel Wright's smile makes my stomach flutter like I'm a girl with her first crush. And I'll ignore everything inside me that wishes I could trust what he offers. But after a small lie that I told my mother to stop her matchmaking snowballs, I might not have a choice but to let Daniel in. The deal was, we pretend we're in a relationship until after my sister's wedding. The rules: no sex and no feelings. But the closer Daniel and I get, the more I'm tempted to throw out the rules and give him everything. But when the past comes back to haunt both of us, I have to decide if I'm willing to trust again or if I'm going to walk away for good. This is the second book in my Home In Cedar City series. Book one: Love, Second Chances and Other Nonsense is currently available to read on Amazon KU. This is a fake dating, grumpy/sunshine story with angst and OW drama. HEA guaranteed.
Clearing Karma
Private investigator Maverick Silva was once a steady presence in Antonia "Toni" Coleson's life. After exposing her fiancé's betrayal in Karma's Kiss, Maverick returned something far more precious than the truth: her music, her history, and the hope of what they once shared. But repairing fifteen years of heartbreak takes more than weekend visits and quiet gestures. Now, while Maverick works a high-stakes case in Boston, digging into the secrets of Jasper Preston at Danica Preston's request, his fragile second chance with Toni is put at risk. A misunderstanding about his connection to Danica stirs old doubts, and Toni must decide whether she can truly open her heart to the man who once broke it. Caught between two worlds, his demanding work in Boston and the life he longs to build again in Salem, Maverick is determined to prove that love, like karma, always comes full circle. But to clear the air and his own conscience, he'll have to face the mistakes of the past and show Toni that some bonds can survive even the harshest trials.

Privately, they are distant, guarded, and carefully avoiding the truth neither of them wants to face. But as red carpets blur into quiet nights, staged affection starts to feel real. Lines are crossed. Rules are broken. And Cleo must confront the terrifying possibility that the man she is pretending to love may be the one person capable of breaking her heart all over again.
