Lana thought the hardest part of joining Grant's family would be getting his mother to like her.
She was wrong.
It starts with a welcome folder. Then a spreadsheet. A joke at dinner. A rule that somehow applies to her son and nobody else. And through every small humiliation, Grant offers the same reassurance: I'll handle it.
Three years later, Lana has stopped believing him.
Then a man she hasn't seen since high school walks into her yoga studio and calls her by a name no one has used in 16 years.
Oren remembers the girl Lana used to be. More dangerously, he notices the woman she has become.
And as the story she's been telling herself about her marriage begins to unravel, Lana discovers that sometimes the person who leaves isn't the one who walks away.
Sometimes it's the one who stays-and watches you disappear.

The Spin Doctor
Rhea Shah lost her cheating scumbag of an ex-boyfriend of 10 years, she lost her sanity, and most recently...she lost her job. After getting fired, she ends up at the hospital with her laboring friend and meets Connor Brooks, a bad boy OB/GYN, who is allergic to anything involving emotions, relationships and love. Rhea knows Connor is charming and...ahem...hot, but she's got 99 problems and getting involved with an emotionally unavailable doctor ain't one. A careless comment made in anger by Connor impacts Rhea in the worst way possible. When she finds out about his true intentions, she vows never to get within 10 feet of him. But fate has other plans.

She Took More Than Just a Room
It started with a key. A simple, harmless gesture or so he said. Christina was just his childhood best friend. The girl who "had always been there." The one he trusted. The one he couldn't turn away. And I tried. I tried to be understanding. I tried to be secure. I tried to believe that love meant trust. But how do you trust when another woman walks into your home like she belongs there? When she knows his silences better than you do? I'm not losing him in loud, obvious ways. I'm losing him in glances. In quiet moments. In the space where I used to exist. Now, we live under the same roof. Him. Me. And the girl who was "never supposed to be a problem." But the worst part? He still calls her his best friend. And I'm starting to feel like the other woman in my own marriage.
Unrestrained: Book #2: Friends to Enemies
When you find an online post that sounds awfully familiar, and it sends you down a rabbit hole. A rabbit hole that shows you who your friend really is. This will be a really, really short story. Because of the format I may be doing this in. It will be odd and unique. And time consuming on my part once you see what I'm doing. So, super short. Like really, really short! You have been warned!
After everything, still you
He broke her once. She survived losing him. Now he's back like nothing ever happened-and she's not sure she can survive that. Laura Hayes thought divorce would end the heartbreak. Instead, it only changed its shape. A year after walking away from the man who broke her, whom a part of her still loves, Laura is surviving rather than living, carrying loneliness like a second skin. And Adrian, buried beneath pride and regret, is discovering far too late that losing her hurts more than admitting he was wrong. When life keeps pulling them back into each other's orbit, old wounds reopen alongside something far more dangerous: hope. Because some loves do not disappear when a marriage ends. Some hearts never really leave.Lengkap
The Golden Hour
US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HB6871H2 UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0HB6871H2 In emergency medicine, the golden hour is the crucial sixty-minute window after a traumatic injury-the brief span of time when the right care can mean the difference between life and death. Dr. Mason Carpenter lives for that hour. At St. Mary's Trauma Center, he is the golden boy of the Emergency Department. He's brilliant and calm under pressure. He's also addicted to the adrenaline, the thrill, and the absolute rush of saving patients knocking on death's door. At home, he's a devoted husband to his high school sweetheart-the love of his life-Honey. Or, he used to be. Honey Carpenter has loved Mason since they were fourteen, when he was the gangly boy with hearts in his eyes who stumbled through asking her out for ice cream. She stood beside him through medical school, residency, crushing debt, sleepless nights, and every sacrifice it took to build the life they dreamed about. Now Honey is pregnant with their first child. And Mason is married to his work. He misses ultrasound appointments, pregnancy milestones, and the baby shower. Worst of all, he is never there to support Honey through an increasingly difficult pregnancy. No matter how many times she tells him she is lonely, exhausted, and afraid, Mason gives her the same answer. "They need me." But Honey needs him too. As her pregnancy progresses and she feels something is deeply wrong, her doctor dismisses her symptoms as first-time-mom jitters. Her husband is too busy saving strangers to see his own wife fading away. Until Honey collapses at home and is rushed into Mason's emergency room, fighting for both her life and their daughter's. Mason must reckon with what he was chasing, what he ignored, and what his absence may cost him-the woman he loves more than anything. Now, the golden hour belongs to Honey. And Mason may already be too late.Lengkap
