"I would compare this novel with others that have had such a great impact they have ultimately been made into motion pictures." -The Book Enthusiast

To love is to lose, but can she ever win again?

There are five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. And Alex Hart is right smack dab in the middle of denial when she meets the good-looking and mysterious Andrew Foster. Drew alone takes her one step closer to acceptance--the place where new and meaningful relationships blossom. 

But just as Alex thinks she's on the road to finally healing after a tragic accident, she's once again hit with a loss, a loss that just might destroy her. When faced with her world crumbling down for the second time in her life, Alex discovers that her true therapy is in the one who has always saved her. But can the boy who was just skipping stones be the rock she's always needed?All Rights Reserved

WHERE OUR HEARTS COLLIDE by ThelmaAkosa

"You know, the one thing I cannot forgive our parents for is the fact that they didn't ask for my permission to be born with you. They didn't ask if I wanted to be an only child or share them with you." Ilani's voice quivered angrily as she stood at her twin sister's bedside, the sterile hospital room amplifying their heated confrontation. She paused for a moment. "I could deal with living in your shadow. I could deal with you being the favorite child. Heck I could deal with any other thing. But this?" She shook her head as a tear slipped out. "You crossed the line. You crossed the line when you fucked the man I called dibs on first. I never thought I'd ever say this, but I hate being your sister." *** In the world of the Hart sisters, where love is inextricably linked with rivalry, health divides them, and a hotshot doctor becomes the unexpected center of their universe, a heart-wrenching choice looms.

"I seriously am clueless here, Alex. What is it that I've done?" she asked. "Tell me." "This." he threw some photos her way. Shaken by Alex's behavior, Kate snapped her face back as some of the photos slapped across her cheek. They crawled down in the air to slowly settle around her feet. He looked away from her like she had burned him. And Kate couldn't help but feel her insides tremor. Instincts screamed at her that a storm had indeed entered her life with the intent to harm the love that she and Alex shared. Bending down slowly, she reached out with trembling hands; she picked up one of the photos from the floor and froze. In the photo, Neil, her best friend, and she was making out. Kate remembered this moment, but it was nothing like this. Lifting her eyes from the photo where she had apparently locked lips with Neil, Kate looked back up into Alex's eyes and got scared out of her wits. The eyes where used to be only love and affection for her. There, those emotions were now replaced with endless hatred only. ~Nothing lasts forever; people change, and so change their lives.~ Kate thought she had one forever with Alex, but that forever came to an end too soon. When she was about to tell him the news of her pregnancy, what she expected was his elation and love, never had she thought that she would be punished instead. Thrown to the street literally, she lost everything she held dear. ~Memories never fade, and pain can never be forgotten.~ And then, one day, Alex enters her life again, this time aiming to break more than her heart. He believed she was his unfaithful wife, only to see the truth when the destruction was complete. Prequel: In the Rain (ongoing) Sequel: And Then it Rained (ongoing)
