Jarlena Stories

After Marlena divorced John after the Kristen/Brady debacle of 2013 - it's not over. It was never really over. Short little story I couldn't get out of my head.

A week away was supposed to change nothing. When Marlena Evans agrees to speak at an Empowering Women lecture series, she hopes the time away from Salem will give her a chance to breathe and escape the growing tension surrounding John, Kristen, and the secrets threatening to tear their family apart. Instead, one devastating accident changes everything. As old wounds reopen and impossible choices are forced into the light, John and Marlena must confront the truths they've spent too long avoiding. In the aftermath of tragedy, both will discover that sometimes the most painful transformations are also the ones that lead us home. Set during the turbulent fake-baby era, Transformations explores love, loss, forgiveness, and the enduring bond between two people determined to find their way back to each other.

John and Marlena have their 1993 but it lasts for six months, before Marlena pleads with John to help her break it off. John leaves. Fast forward 5 years and the two bump into each other in Chicago, both attendees at the same wedding.

The tide took her away. Roman Brady refuses to believe it can keep her. After a devastating plane crash leaves Marlena Evans Brady missing and presumed dead, Roman begins a relentless search for the woman he loves. But even if the tide returns her to him, both must face the emotional wreckage left behind. Sometimes love means holding on. Sometimes it means learning how to come home again.

Post Marlena's 1992 return to Salem. Marlena made the decision to give her marriage to Roman a try, but is struggling. John, putting his own pain aside, is frequently there to help her. Thank you to Ms. Goldie for the cover art and for inspiring me to revise and continue this story!

Their love was rumored fact and fiction, blurring the lines between reel and real. After a decade apart, John Black, a retired baseball player and now Hollywood star, reaches out to Marlena Evans with an opportunity she cannot refuse. The challenge? They must contend with feelings of longing and attraction, leading to an arrangement.
