Maya’s POV,

After hanging up the phone with Shane, I shake my head. As a parent, just like Shane, just like Isla, I know exactly how this looks. Chasing someone who doesn’t want you anymore, using whatever tactics you can just to get them to interact with you. I’ve been there.

When I first had my child, I moved just like that. I went to the mayor’s office over and over, trying to talk to him, trying to force a conversation. I threatened to tell the world about the baby. And every time, he thre

  • The Price of Peace: Book 3 In The No More Regrets Series   Off We Go

    Maya’s POV It felt like I had just closed my eyes when my alarm started blaring.I groaned and reached across the nightstand, fumbling for my phone until I finally managed to silence it."Jesus..."I squinted at the screen.A little after seven hours of sleep.Seven hours.How in the world did it feel like I had only been asleep for twenty minutes?I rolled onto my back and stared at the ceiling for a moment.Then it hit me.I had gone to bed ridiculously early.No wonder I felt confused."When did I become the person who goes to bed at eight o'clock?" I muttered to myself.Slowly, I pushed myself upright and headed into the bathroom.After taking care of business, I stood at the sink and caught my reflection in the mirror.I looked tired.Not exhausted.Just... off.As I turned to grab my toothbrush, another wave of dizziness rolled through me.My hand shot out and grabbed the counter."What the hell?"I squeezed my eyes shut and waited for it to pass.A few seconds later, it eased

    Maya’s POV Once the kids finished throwing away the rest of their food, I herded everybody upstairs.The nightly routine officially began.Showers.Brushing teeth.Hair getting greased and tucked into bonnets.Arguments about who got to pick the movie.The usual.By the time we made it into Gabby's room, I was already exhausted.Gabby and my niece were going to share the bed, while my nephew would sleep on the rollaway bed stored underneath it.As I bent down and pulled the rollaway out, another wave of dizziness hit me.Hard.I stopped moving and grabbed the bedframe."What the fuck..."I closed my eyes for a second.The room wasn't spinning exactly, but it felt off.Like my equilibrium had suddenly decided to take a vacation on vertigo Island.I took a deep breath and slowly let it out.Then another.After a few seconds, the feeling eased enough for me to keep moving.I pulled the covers back and got the little bed set up.My nephew immediately climbed into it and started bouncing.

    Maya’s POV As I looked over at my daughter who can be a whole handful on that Friday night, I couldn't help but sigh. My niece and nephew were spending the night with us because my brother had to handle some business. Apparently, his deranged ass wife had somehow convinced the police to lock him out of his own house. I still couldn't wrap my head around how stuff like that happened. The man paid every bill. He lived there. He received mail there. Hell, the house was in his name. Yet somehow, the police had escorted him off his own property. Now he was staying with our mom. Thankfully, he had already spoken with one of the attorneys over at Morgan & Michaels. They assured him everything would be sorted out quickly, and according to them, he'd be back in his house by Monday. It was still a damn shame. He'd told me he would come by first thing in the morning to pick up the kids. Gabby was going with him, too, which meant I'd have the entire day to myself. For once. I planned on

    Third Person POV Shane's perspective Shane had barely stepped through the front door before Lily and Sophie were on him."Dad! Dad! Grandpa will be here in less than an hour, so you have to get ready!"He looked between his daughters and laughed."I'm already ready."Lily scoffed dramatically."Grandpa hasn't been to our house in years. You have to get ready, Dad. You look like you just came from work. Go put on some jeans and a T-shirt or something."Shane shook his head and pulled both girls into a hug."Where's SJ?""Upstairs talking to his new girlfriend," Sophie answered.Shane sighed."This one isn't like Miley, is she?""Nah," Lily said immediately. "She's cool. She likes video games, Pokémon cards, and other weird stuff. Miley was kinda... like a teenager."Shane laughed."Well, SJ is a teenager.""Dad, you know what we mean," Sophie said. "Like teenager-teenager. Dating, kissing, all that stuff. Miley was all about that and SJ, not so much."Relief washed over him."Okay.

    Third Person POV Thursday morning arrived quickly, and Crandon and Tempest made their way to the courthouse at 26th and California.As they entered the assigned courtroom, the atmosphere felt different from the usual crowded criminal call. This wasn't an arraignment involving dozens of defendants cycling through the system. This proceeding was focused on one man.Douglas Mickelson.The case had become high-profile for a reason. Professor Mickelson wasn't being viewed as some ordinary defendant. He was considered a danger to society, a calculated predator hiding behind intelligence, education, and professional success.The entire State's Attorney's Office seemed determined to make sure he stayed behind bars.Crandon and Tempest walked toward the prosecution's side of the courtroom. Lead prosecutor Eric Rosales spotted them and motioned toward the gallery behind him."Have a seat back there," he told them.They thanked him and sat down.Charlotte sat beside Tempest while Crandon took T

    Crandon's POVBy the time dinner wrapped up, there was still enough meatloaf left to feed a small army.That was normal for my mother.She always cooked like she was expecting twenty extra guests to show up unannounced. The upside was that nobody ever left hungry. The downside was that we'd all be eating leftovers for lunch tomorrow... and probably dinner too.As Tempest loaded food into to-go containers, I glanced across the room at my mother.She was laughing a little now.Smiling even.But I could still see the disappointment lingering in her eyes.The shock of Tiffany's surprise marriage hadn't completely worn off.With a sigh, I stood and carried dessert plates from the kitchen to the dining room table. Then I returned for the two pies I'd brought earlier, the apple and peach, and set them down beside a knife.The room had settled into a comfortable silence.Dad was carrying dirty dishes into the kitchen.Maverick was helping clean up.Tempest was organizing leftovers.Tiffany sa
