Lorraine (Raine) Anderson lost her parents 4 years ago. Along with her two brothers, Dwaine and Blaine, they had to go through the loss of their nanny, before arriving at Graham's Home for the Poor and Parentless. Over the years, Raine has become overprotective, somewhat violent, and almost devoid of whatever happiness she had as a child. The only thing that keeps her going is her brothers.
One day she and her family get adopted by Mark and Janice Collins. Cue Vance. A young man finding his way through life with an odd perspective- "I stay happy for my family, but I'll be depressed until God finds me a purpose. Until then, I have no other goal".
What happens when you put together these two enigmas? One who has lost her soul, and one still finding his.
They will find they need each other, before the end.

While tortured and held captive as a prisoner of war, she became my reason to keep breathing. The force that fueled my will to fight. To survive. When I woke after the rescue to discover the life I thought I was coming home to was but a figment of my imagination, hallucinations brought about by pain, desperation, and isolation... it nearly broke me. Fifteen years since I first lost her, at last, we have a second chance. Holding her in my arms, finally feeling the warmth of her skin as she melts under my touch, is like a dream. She and her two little girls are now as essential to my existence as the air I breathe. However, just as things start falling into place, the universe steps in, threatening to take it all away. I used to think that choosing her cost me everything I'd ever loved, but now I see that in choosing her and her children, I have the chance to reclaim all that I lost. They are my salvation. My true path to redemption. Which is why I'll leave no stone unturned, why I will scorch this world to the ground if that's what it takes to save them. And when I do, I will fight to convince her once and for all they are meant to be mine, just as I was destined to be theirs. In the Broken Redemption Series, one man's vow to protect the woman he lost becomes a battle between redemption, forgiveness, and the kind of love that refuses to let go. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is Book 3 of Lucas & Emilia's Broken Redemption arc, the emotional conclusion to their story.

Me & Mr. Jones | 18+
STILL IN PROGRESS Cooper and Cameron came from two completely different worlds yet shared the same internal struggles. He was a reserved, lonely man who masked his emptiness with a string of fleeting relationships, while she, freshly out of a broken engagement, filled her life with friends to avoid facing her own pain. Cameron despised his cryptic demeanor and invasive curiosity, while Cooper couldn't stand her stubborn streak and tendency to run away when things got complicated. Despite their differences-age, lifestyles, and entanglements with others-the magnetic pull between them was impossible to ignore. They saw through each other's facades, uncovering truths neither had shared with anyone else. As their lives began to intertwine, the question loomed: could they close the gap between them and give in to what they both felt deep down? Or would fear, pride, and unresolved emotions keep them at arm's length, pushing them into the arms of others instead?
