Booklaunch2025 Stories

Jolene was the kind of woman people whispered about long after she left the room- a stunning beauty with wild auburn hair, emerald-green eyes, and a voice soft enough to calm storms. She didn't ask for attention; attention simply drifted toward her like metal to a magnet. And that terrified Mara, because Mara's husband had begun saying Jolene's name in his sleep. Caught between insecurity and loyalty, Mara faces the silent unraveling of her marriage. She knows Jolene could have any man she wants-and that is exactly what scares her. But instead of walking away, Mara decides to confront the woman whose shadow has crept into her home. What she finds is not a villain. But a woman with her own scars, her own longings, her own battles. Two women. One man. One heartbreaking truth neither is ready for. This is a story about love, temptation, insecurity, desire, and the courage it takes to speak the truth before everything falls apart.
