Widower Stories

Kalyani was never anyone's first choice. At eighteen, in Mumbai that has already quietly decided her worth, she is given to a man who does not want a wife - only someone to fill the silence his grief left behind. Set in 1840s Maharashtra, this is the story of a woman who asked for nothing, was promised nothing, and still found ways to love - a house that wasn't hers, children that weren't hers, a life that was never quite hers. The question is not whether Kalyani endures. It is what endurance costs a person. And whether anyone will notice before the price becomes too high.

The two of them begin a harrowing journey of loss and redemption, determined to help each other find solace in the tragedy that their lives have become.

Love, Laughs & Lone Star Trouble. When Miami doctor Simone Castillo trades her city life for a small Texas town, she expects a fresh start and a clinic that needs saving. What she doesn't expect is Lone Star Ridge itself - a town full of opinions, a diner owner who already knows her name, and a widowed rancher with three kids and walls built so high she can practically see them from Main Street. Simone didn't come to Lone Star Ridge to fall for anyone. She came to rebuild. But small towns have a way of getting under your skin before you realize what's happening - and so do the people in them. New town. Fresh start. A whole lot of everything.
