[COMPLETE] Winnie Flynn is a successful plus-size photographer who would rather stay behind the camera than in front of her feelings. So when she turns down her best friend's offer of being maid of honor in her wedding, she instead convinces her to photograph her destination wedding on a too-hot Mexican island. During hurricane season. Against her better judgment, Winnie agrees. She figures she'll power through with enough SPF, sarcasm, and a couple gallons of frosé. But the minute she arrives, Winnie realizes her best friend left out a few key details. Like the fact that Hollis-the boy she never quite got over-is the best man. And instead of arriving the day before the ceremony like she was promised, he's there. Now. And they'll be spending the next ten days together, dodging unfinished business, flying centerpieces, and very opinionated tias. With a missing suitcase, a rapidly rising storm, and emotions she really didn't pack for, Winnie finds herself in the middle of a wedding week that's spiraling toward chaos. But sometimes, things have to fall apart before they be put back together. And maybe, if she's lucky, she'll get a second chance at the kind of love she thought only existed in photos.

After fleeing her abusive ex in the middle of the night, Chloe Dawson arrives in a small coastal town with nothing but a duffel bag, a crying six-month-old baby, and the last of her savings. She rents a tiny apartment where the walls are paper-thin. Next door lives Sergeant Mason Kane, disciplined, exhausted, emotionally closed off, and currently on leave between military assignments. After years in the army, silence is the only thing that helps him sleep. Then the baby starts crying every night. At first, Mason is irritated. Chloe is terrified of him. Every knock on the door reminds her of the man she escaped.

He was born into a world of power and expectation. She built her dreams from quiet struggle and fierce determination. They were never meant to collide. Until a single lie... forced their worlds to crash into each other. To save a reputation and protect a future, they sign a contract that binds them as husband and wife. On paper only. Two years together. No feelings. No promises. No future. But the heart has never cared for rules. Behind the polished smiles they show the world, there are arguments that spark, moments that soften, and a connection neither of them knows how to name. Slowly, the lines blur..between duty and desire, between pretending and wanting, between two strangers learning the shape of each other's hearts. Just as they begin to fall, life pulls them in opposite directions again. Words are said that can't be taken back. Walls rise where warmth once bloomed. And yet... fate isn't finished with them. When a truth comes to light. A truth that changes everything. They are forced to face the one thing they both tried so hard to avoid: That somewhere along the way, a contract became a love story. And letting go might be the one thing neither of them is strong enough to do. Trigger Warning: Mentions of illness, death, and emotional struggle.

There was a time when Althea Isabelle Reyes believed love could survive anything. She gave him her heart. She carried his child. She dreamed of growing old beside the man she thought would never let her go. Instead, he became the reason she learned how heartbreak could feel like mourning someone who was still alive. So she left. Not because she stopped loving him, but because loving him was slowly destroying the woman she used to be. For two years, she built a life from the ruins he left behind. She learned to become both mother and father to their little girl. She buried every dream they once shared and convinced herself that some loves are never meant to be found again. Then fate-cruel, relentless fate-placed him in front of her once more. Only this time, the man standing before her was no longer the man who shattered her heart. Lance Gabrielle Villanueva had spent two years searching for the woman he lost. Two years carrying the weight of his regrets. Two years becoming the man he should have been from the very beginning. But apologies cannot erase betrayal. Regret cannot return stolen years. And some scars don't disappear simply because the person who caused them has changed. Now, he is willing to spend the rest of his life proving that love isn't spoken through promises. It's proven through patience. Through sacrifice. Through showing up every single day. But how do you trust the same hands that once let you fall? How do you believe in forever when forever was the very thing that broke you? Perhaps some loves never truly die. Perhaps they simply become echoes-lingering in the quiet corners of our hearts, waiting for the day we find the courage to listen again. This is a heart-wrenching story of love, betrayal, redemption, forgiveness, and the impossible journey of learning to trust the person who once taught you how to live without them.

On the night she thought she would finally get everything she had ever wished for, Celeste Devereaux lost it all. The dazzling lights of her birthday gala became the stage of her humiliation. The man she spent years loving stood before everyone and reached for another woman's hand. Her best friend smiled. The cameras flashed. And the world watched as Celeste Devereaux became a joke. Heartbroken, she left the party without knowing that death was already waiting for her. A deserted road. A car chasing from behind. Brakes that wouldn't work. A blinding light. Then darkness. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself trapped beneath the ocean, staring at her own lifeless body. She thought nobody would come. She was wrong. A man she had never seen before dove into the freezing depths and carried her broken body back to the surface as if she were the most precious thing in the world. "I'm sorry." "I came too late." Unable to leave his side, Celeste followed him and uncovered the truth she had never known. The betrayal. The conspiracy. The people who destroyed her family. The secrets hidden behind every smile. And the identity of the man who loved her in silence. By the time she learned everything, it was already too late. Or so she thought. When fate sends her back to the past, Celeste is given another chance. This time, she won't chase the wrong man. This time, she won't ignore the people who truly care for her. And this time... She'll choose the man who crossed an ocean to find her. The man who avenged her. The man who loved her. Even after death. Because in her first life, she chose the man who destroyed her. In this life... She chooses him.
