When Gary Jones checks into the historic Read House hotel, he expects nothing more than a warm bed and a quiet night. Instead, he finds Evelyn-a stunning, mysterious woman who seems to appear exactly when he needs her most. She is graceful, gentle, warm... and unlike anyone he has ever met. They talk in the hotel library. They dance in the empty ballroom. They walk the quiet halls like two souls who've known each other for a lifetime. Their connection is instant. Their chemistry undeniable. Their love unforgettable. But the Read House holds secrets. Evelyn is tied to something beyond the living-a shadowed past, a tragic history, and a darkness that still lingers inside Room 311. As Gary falls deeply in love with her, he discovers that she is not entirely alive... and not entirely at peace. When an ancient shadow threatens to pull her away forever, Gary must fight through fear, doubt, and the supernatural world itself to save her. But saving her might also mean setting her free. In the end, Gary learns the most heartbreaking truth of all: To love Evelyn is to let her go... and to carry her in his heart for the rest of his life. Set against the haunting elegance of The Read House in Chattanooga, The Shadows of The Read House is a sweeping paranormal romance about love, loss, courage, and the kind of connection that refuses to fade - even after goodbye.

Some love stories are not about happy endings-they're about the kind of love that breaks, burns, and still lingers in the shadows of your soul. Arvi was brilliance wrapped in grace, the girl everyone admired but no one truly reached until Preksh did. A chance meeting at a wedding turned into an unexpected bond at a coaching center, where they studied side by side, chasing the same dream: to become doctors. But while Arvi soared through NEET, Preksh stumbled. She moved forward; he took a drop year. What followed was a long-distance relationship stitched together with faith, surprise visits, and midnight calls. For five years, they fought for love against time, expectations, and the distance. Until one day, she vanished. A betrayal. A silence that screamed. A rumor that she was no more. Blocked and broken, Preksh never stopped texting her. Not a single message was ever seen. Until - 3:00 a.m. Notification: Message from an Unknown Number Could it really be her? Or was this just another twist in a love story already too tragic? Some answers can only be found in the spaces between two hearts... and one final message. In Case You Ever Come Back is a story of first love, lost dreams, long-distance scars, and the haunting ache of unfinished endings.

TO THE READERS "The Last Drop" is a vulnerable offering of poetic inquiries into the nature of love, the paths it takes, and the lingering emotions when it ebbs away. These poems are a personal journey through the questions that arise in the heart, particularly in the face of loss. While deeply felt, they are presented as artistic expressions intended to connect with the universal experience of love's complexities. ABOUT "Like a river, love carves its own course, sometimes turbulent, sometimes serene, but always shaping the landscape of our being." Long before love takes tangible form, it exists as a whisper of possibility. Love, in its nascent form, is often a question whispered in the solitude of our hearts, a dream painted on the canvas of our deepest desires. love begins as a dream woven with threads of hope, a vision of finding solace and understanding in the eyes of someone yet unknown. It's the primal urge to witness and share in a profound connection, a silent prayer for a love that feels divinely ordained. But what of the love where silent prayers devolve into echoing nightmares, where cries shatter the very core of one's being? Left to inhabit a living hell, the forced strength others speak of feels like a cruel jest. What becomes of the yearning for simple cherishment, the irretrievable loss of our former selves? What solace is there for the wounds inflicted by loyalty, faith, and tenderness? To claim it's a chosen path ignores the chilling sense of being mere puppets, our strings manipulated by an unseen hand. DEDICATION This collection of poetry, "The Last Drop," is lovingly dedicated to all the shattered and questioning beings who navigate the complex terrain of love's journey and the often-disorienting landscape of its loss.May they remind you that even in shattering, there is a profound resilience, and that the act of questioning is itself a courageous step towards healing and finding meaning in the aftermath.
