"I would compare this novel with others that have had such a great impact they have ultimately been made into motion pictures." -The Book Enthusiast

To love is to lose, but can she ever win again?

There are five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. And Alex Hart is right smack dab in the middle of denial when she meets the good-looking and mysterious Andrew Foster. Drew alone takes her one step closer to acceptance--the place where new and meaningful relationships blossom. 

But just as Alex thinks she's on the road to finally healing after a tragic accident, she's once again hit with a loss, a loss that just might destroy her. When faced with her world crumbling down for the second time in her life, Alex discovers that her true therapy is in the one who has always saved her. But can the boy who was just skipping stones be the rock she's always needed?All Rights Reserved

Unfinished Vows by Kevin___KT

"I wanted to hate him. I wanted to walk away without a second thought. But how do you forget someone who still lingers in your every breath?" Kate thought she was finally free. Three years of a cold, loveless marriage to Dev-her arrogant, emotionally distant husband-had left her shattered. Now, with divorce on the horizon, she should be relieved. But when circumstances force them to live under the same roof again, she realizes something is different. Dev isn't the same man who once ignored her existence. He watches her now, his eyes filled with something she can't quite name. Regret? Possession? Something deeper? Dev always believed he never wanted this marriage. But as Kate pulls away, he's gripped by an unfamiliar panic. What if letting her go was his biggest mistake? What if, deep down, he never truly wanted her to leave? Dev - "I believed you'd stand by me, even when I couldn't be there for you. I was wrong-you deserve better. I'll grow, I'll change, but I refuse to lose you." Trapped between past wounds and an uncertain future, Kate and Dev are forced to confront the emotions they've buried for years. But is it too late for second chances? Or were their vows never meant to be broken? A gripping tale of love, heartbreak, and the undeniable pull of fate. Will they fight for each other... or walk away forever?

Selfish Desires by EvieKynd

It was an impossible choice between a man chosen for her or a handsome stranger's solution - a temporary contractual marriage. Her choice left her facing devastating results, but will a second chance deliver her the man and the life of her dreams or crush her spirits for good? Jameson Wilder Hunter was handsome, powerful, elite, and utterly exhausted with life. He had everything he could want and yet it still wasn't enough. Until he met Lacey, whose sincerity beckoned him like a light through the darkness. Only she disappeared and took his heart with her. He wants her back, he wants to punish her. But will he still feel that way once he has her secured by his side again, or will she draw him back in just like she had the first time he laid eyes on her? Kia Ora, I plan to post the full story by the New Year (2024) and keep it available until March 2024 at which time I'll leave a sample and make available on Amazon. I'll update here if plans change. Thanks
