But what does she do when the one she wants is the one she can't have?
What does she do when the harder she pulls away, the harder life pushes back?

Heartbreak Express
🏆 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐲𝐬 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 | She ran from her wedding the day she found out the groom was expecting a baby with someone else. Now, with a broken heart and no suitcase, she's starting over in London... Two men, one new life and a second chance she never saw coming. Isabella Solène Hart was supposed to be a bride. Instead, she became a woman who walked away from betrayal, from shame, from the version of love that left her undone. London offers her nothing but silence and strangers and that's exactly what she needs until it starts to offer more. A job at a luxury PR firm, a flat that slowly becomes a home, a local café with warm coffee and warmer smiles, a neighbour with a cat named Rufus and a shopkeeper named Robert, gruff, loyal, quietly becoming the father figure she never had. But nothing shakes her more than the two men who begin to orbit her new life. Skylar, the charming café owner with kind eyes, he makes her laugh again, makes her feel again, but when it matters most... he stays silent. And Sebastian, the enigmatic CEO with ice-blue eyes and power in every breath. He shouldn't be looking at her the way he does, he shouldn't know who she is, but he does and what begins as a spark quickly threatens to set fire to the walls she's still rebuilding. Now Bella must navigate more than just a second chance, she must decide what kind of love she's ready for and whether she can open her heart again without losing herself in the process. It's a story of loss, of starting over, and the two men who force her to face what love really means. Of heartbreak turned healing, of strangers turned family. It's not just about falling in love, it's about who you become when your world shatters... and you choose to rise anyway.Complete

The Walls Between Us
Mariah Carter has mastered the art of survival-walls built high, heart locked tight, and a sharp tongue ready to cut down anyone who dares to get too close. Love, for her, is a risk she refuses to take twice. Then there's Luke Anderson. Bold. Reckless. Unapologetically persistent. The boy who once sketched storms under a broken awning has grown into a man unafraid to chase what he wants-including Mariah, no matter how fiercely she pushes him away. They clash like fire and thunder, their connection impossible to ignore and even harder to define. For every wall Mariah builds, Luke finds a way to test it, break it, or simply barge through. But behind her defiance lies a fear she can't outrun: the terror of being vulnerable again, of losing herself in the very love she claims to hate. This is not a gentle love story. It's messy, chaotic, and loud. It's about storms and the people brave enough to stand in them. And maybe-just maybe-about a girl learning that sometimes, letting someone in doesn't mean losing yourself... it means finding who you were meant to be all along.
