You Were the Light We Never Knew We Needed
Everyone knew Zane Vincent as the man who stayed late, remembered birthdays, covered shifts, and noticed when someone needed help before they asked. No one knew how much it cost him. For twenty-eight years, Zane has lived beneath the weight of a lie. His father blames him for the medical complications that left his mother paralysed after his birth, teaching him that love is a debt he must spend his life repaying. So Zane becomes useful. Dependable. The person everyone can lean on. At The Lantern House, he finds a second family. With Ana, the woman he loves, he begins imagining a life that belongs to him at last. A safe home. Children. A dog. The ocean. Growing old together. But love cannot survive on promises and silence alone. As Zane hides the abuse consuming him, Ana grows lonely inside a relationship where she is always waiting to be let in. One betrayal shatters the future they planned, and when Zane dies soon afterwards, everyone left behind searches for the moment they should have noticed, the words they should have said, and the person they can blame. Seth missed the call. Ana told the truth too late. Zayden left when his brother asked him to. Their mother remained silent for years. But grief does not offer simple answers, and no single moment can explain a lifetime of pain. You Were the Light We Never Knew We Needed is a story about love, domestic abuse, betrayal, suicide, and the people who must learn to live after losing someone who spent his whole life carrying them. Because Zane Vincent was more than the way he died. He was a son, a brother, a friend, a future husband, and a light no one understood until it was gone. Content note: This novel contains domestic abuse, alcoholism, infidelity, depression, panic attacks, suicide, grief, and bereavement. The suicide method is not depicted.

"She's my mate!" Zane yelled causing both the man and I to widen our eyes. Mate? Is Zane Australian? "No. That's not possible. She's-" Zane cut him off with a blow to the jaw. "Get out before I throw you out of the pack." I took a step back from the boys and shifted uncomfortably. "Pack? Look I don't know what kind of cult thing you guys are involved with but I just want to go back to my old life." The man laughed. "Babe, your old life doesn't exist anymore." "Don't call her that," Zane growled and pushed him out the door. I walked over to the couch and sat down, holding my head in my hands.

Until her father arranges a marriage to an older shape-shifting sea dragon pirate, all of her plans, from her career to her personal life, are now dead in the water. Levi is a world-famous pirate, mainly for how his family came into power. He wants to establish lasting peace between all of the clans, even at the cost of his freedom. It's easier said than done when his family pressures him to keep to tradition, and infighting may destroy the treaty before it can even begin. When they embark on this relationship, will they see past their differences and save the country from another war? Could they fall in love along the way, or will they sacrifice their hearts and freedom for the sake of peace? *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* "I'm told love doesn't have a place in business or duty," Marissa said with a smile. "Even at my age, I find that a hard pill to swallow," Rhys said, pouring himself another glass. "I would imagine at your age, there's a lot of things hard to do," Marissa giggled. "What experience do you have with older men," Rhys asked, laughing. He leaned back into the couch, stretching his arms along the back. His seated stance widened. Marissa sat back as well and angled her body towards him. "None, just a guess from what I hear," Marissa said, finishing her drink. "Well, on behalf of all old men, I take offense. Especially since you've never been with one. We're quite capable, more so than the younger ones," Rhys said, filling her glass. "That's something I would need to experience for myself then," Marissa said. "It's possible," Rhys said. "Was that an offer," Marissa asked. "It's whatever you want it to be," Rhys said. *~*~*~*~* COMPLETEDComplete
