Tonya believed devotion could save a marriage. She remembered the important dates, softened every disagreement, and supplied enough hope for two people. Then Eric confessed that he had fallen for someone else-and the life Tonya had carefully maintained collapsed in a single morning. Suddenly alone, Tonya must confront a painful truth: somewhere along the way, she became so focused on preserving her marriage that she stopped listening to herself. Rebuilding begins with small decisions. A canceled reservation. A management course. A long-delayed boundary. With the unwavering support of her best friend, Jada, Tonya begins reclaiming the ambitions, pleasures, and confidence she once set aside. Then Mark Robertson enters her life. Reserved, attentive, and impossible to ignore, Mark sees Tonya's strength without asking her to hide her uncertainty. Their connection is immediate, but it is also complicated. He is her boss, she is newly separated, and neither attraction nor good intentions can erase the risks. As their relationship deepens, Tonya must decide whether she can trust love again without surrendering the independence she fought to recover. Meanwhile, Eric's regret forces him to face the damage he caused-and to learn that remorse does not guarantee forgiveness, access, or a second chance.

Delaney James was wearing Chanel the night her husband told her he didn't love her anymore. In an instant, her picture-perfect Manhattan life-complete with a brownstone on the Upper East Side, a blossoming career as a fashion journalist, and a devastatingly handsome, high-powered husband-shattered like glass under a stiletto heel. Heartbroken and blindsided, she does the only thing that makes sense: packs her bags and heads south to the small North Carolina town she swore she'd never return to. It's just temporary, she tells herself-a quiet place to lick her wounds and plan her next move. But South Grove hasn't forgotten her. The porch swings, the sleepy afternoons, the scent of honeysuckle on the breeze-it all comes rushing back. She reconnects with old friends, finds solace in morning coffee runs and barefoot walks along the beach where she once dreamed of escaping. And then there's Greyson McKinnie. The boy who broke her heart is now a man who carries his own scars. Their reunion is anything but smooth. Tense, electric, and full of history, their connection flares to life the moment they cross paths again. And this time, walking away might not be so easy. Now, torn between the career she built and the love she thought she'd lost, Delaney must choose: is the life she always wanted worth the price of the one her heart is just beginning to remember?

"Little Valerie," said Kai, bending closer to me. "Are you blackmailing me into dating you?" He didn't seem particularly disturbed by the notion. In fact, he remained completely amused. "Yes?" Kai grinned. "Very mafia of you. I'm weirdly kind of into it." *** When Valerie Williams discovers that her long-term boyfriend is sleeping with her best friend, she devises a revenge plot to get back at them both. But when she asks bad boy Kai Delaney to pretend to date her, she never thought her heart would be on the line. *** Self-proclaimed pessimist Valerie Williams is definitely your glass-half-empty kind of girl. However, Valerie is surprisingly optimistic when her (ex) boyfriend cheats on her with her (also ex) best friend. Valerie doesn't believe in holding grudges; she believes in getting even. Which doesn't seem easy, until her boyfriend's least favourite person and her best friend's long-standing crush, the sarcastic, cocky and popular bad boy extraordinaire Kai Delaney crashes, quite literally, into her life. When Kai accidentally hits her car with what is practically a monster truck, and can barely afford to cover it, Valerie has an idea. If Kai agrees to pretend to date her, for long enough to make her boyfriend and best friend regret their actions, Valerie will give him the duration of their scam to pull together the money to pay her back. Revenge is a dish best served fake. [150,000-200,000 words]
