    Dear Ink Lovers, 🌸💞We have finally reached the end of this journey, and I cannot even begin to explain how grateful I am to every single one of you who stayed with this story from the first chapter to the very last word.This story took pieces of my heart while I was writing it, and I know it took pieces of yours while you were reading it. Shayla’s journey was never meant to be easy. It was meant to hurt, to heal, to break, and to rebuild. And through every chapter, you stayed with me.This book was not just a story to me. It was a journey full of emotions, sleepless nights, laughter, frustration, tears, and moments where even I did not know what was going to happen next. Shayla’s life, her pain, her strength, her love, her family… all of it became very real to me while writing, and seeing you connect with these characters made everything worth it.Your comments, your reviews, your reactions, your theories, and even your complaints made this experience unforgettable.

The ultimate American dream story.Grayson was sitting on the couch. Remote in hand. Watching the screen intently. He had already seen this speech live. He had been there in person watching from the crowd. But he could not stop watching it again and again."Aren't you tired of watching that?" Shayla's voice came from the doorway. Amused and slightly teasing.She had changed out of her red suit. She was wearing comfortable clothes now. Yoga pants and a soft sweater. Makeup washed off. Hair down. Just Shayla. Not Dr. Cross. Just his wife.Grayson looked over at her and smiled. That smile he reserved only for her."I can never get ti

Apparently Ruby could not stop shopping for baby Madonna. Every time she went anywhere, she bought something new.Clothes in every size imaginable. Toys. Blankets. Books. Stuffed animals. Everything a baby could possibly need and then some."You need to stop buying things, Rubbes," Shayla said. Laughing. Looking at all the bags. "Madonna has more clothes than I do now. She is going to outgrow half of them before she even gets a chance to wear them.""I cannot help it!" Ruby said. Already emotional. "Everything is so cute!

Everything went silent.Grayson opened the back door. Extended his hand to help Shayla out. She took it gratefully. Moved slowly and carefully.She was doing much better now.
