Joy thought having their daughter would bring them closer. Instead, motherhood made her invisible. Six months after Emily's birth, Joy's world is sleepless nights, spit-up-stained shirts, and the ache of doing it all alone. Rowdy says he's trying-looking for work, trying to be present-but when his best friend Becca offers him a job, it feels like another door closing. Because Becca has always wanted him. And this time, Joy isn't sure he'll say no. When late-night texts turn into secrets and laughter that used to belong to her, Joy realizes it's not an affair she can prove; it's one she can feel. And when she finally walks away, Rowdy has to decide if the comfort he found in Becca was ever worth losing the family he built with Joy. ⭐The entire first draft is available for subs on Patreon.

Five years of marriage. A vow renewal on the horizon. A betrayal closer than she ever imagined. Laurie believed her life with Charlie was solid. Despite his recent distance and the lingering, uncomfortable flirtation between him and her sister Brittany, Laurie chose to trust. She dismissed her intuition as paranoia and forgave Brittany's cruelty as the result of unrequited longing. She was wrong. The illusion shatters when Laurie overhears a stranger's conversation about the woman in the fitting room bragging about sleeping with her sister's husband. Laurie doesn't believe it's about HER husband, until Brittany steps out and it all makes sense. Desperate for answers, Laurie turns to a trusted confidant from work. Together they peel back the layers of Charlie's life and uncover a scheme far colder than simple infidelity. An inheritance waits for Charlie, but it comes with a stipulation: five years of marriage to a woman his grandfather approves of. Brittany never made the cut. Armed with the truth, Laurie doesn't run. She continues to plan the perfect ceremony. But when she meets Charlie at the altar, she isn't there to renew their vows. She is there to ensure that he and Brittany lose everything they plotted to gain. Content Warning: *Physical cheating (not on page) *Original hero never loved her/ he used her to get his inheritance.

Khai Diep has no feelings. Well, he feels irritation when people move his things or contentment when ledgers balance down to the penny, but not big, important emotions-like grief. And love. He thinks he's defective. His family knows better-that his autism means he just processes emotions differently. When he steadfastly avoids relationships, his mother takes matters into her own hands and returns to Vietnam to find him the perfect bride. As a mixed-race girl living in the slums of Ho Chi Minh City, Esme Tran has always felt out of place. When the opportunity arises to come to America and meet a potential husband, she can't turn it down, thinking this could be the break her family needs. Seducing Khai, however, doesn't go as planned. Esme's lessons in love seem to be working...but only on herself. She's hopelessly smitten with a man who's convinced he can never return her affection. With Esme's time in the United States dwindling, Khai is forced to understand he's been wrong all along. And there's more than one way to love.
