Desperate to save her dying brother, Lina Vale signs a one-year marriage contract with cold billionaire Adrian Korr, who needs a stable wife to claim his inheritance. Strict rules. No emotions. No future. But as they live together, boundaries blur and real feelings emerge. When her ex Ethan returns, Lina is torn between past and present. On the final day, Adrian lets her walk away in silence. Until she discovers the truth: the contract was never terminated. Adrian secretly renewed it. She thought she was free.

Eliza Ward does not fall through time. Time bends toward her. Pulled from the present into Revolutionary America, Eliza becomes trapped in a landscape where history repeats unevenly, battles restart with variations, and memory functions as both anchor and weapon. She is not a chosen heroine, but a constant: a woman whose awareness destabilizes the moment itself. She meets Mercy Hale, a midwife and witch who understands time as a negotiation rather than a force to command. Mercy aids Eliza’s survival while refusing the role of savior, having already learned the cost of standing too close to history’s center. During a looping battle, Eliza saves Thomas Reed, a Continental soldier who does not shift when time does. Thomas is an anchor: steady, observant, unchanged across iterations. Their bond deepens in an almost-normal village where time briefly behaves. Eliza’s intervention triggers time’s response. Rather than immediate destruction, time collects interest. Mercy bargains to spare Eliza and Thomas, sacrificing her own future to stabilize the present. Time extracts payment from Eliza as well, stripping away her voice, the very tool she uses to name and hold moments in place. Silenced and unmoored, Eliza is violently displaced back into the original battle. Unable to anchor the moment, she watches Thomas die in the version of history that was always waiting beneath her defiance. Told in rotating perspectives between Eliza, Thomas, and Mercy, The Hours That Refused to Behave is a lyrical time-travel novel about revolution, restraint, and consequence, asking not whether history can be changed, but who pays when it is.

Six years. No love. No children. No complications. That was the deal Orlena Stewart signed with billionaire Brent Caldwell — a contract marriage to save her dying father, raise his adopted nephew Eli, and disappear quietly when her time was up. She kept every rule. Except one. With only six months left, Orlena discovers she's carrying the child that was never supposed to exist, conceived with a man who is terrified of pregnancy, who never loved her, and who just welcomed his first love back home. She can't tell him. She can't stay. So she vanishes. But Brent Caldwell doesn't let things go, especially things that turn out to matter more than he ever admitted. And when their secret finds its way back to him, every wall he built comes crashing down. Start reading, you won't put it down.

I’d been with Hurley, the heir to the Crescent Claw pack, for seven years. He’d insisted on throwing me a huge birthday party. But on the day of the party, Hurley gave the million-dollar custom gown my mother had commissioned for me to his childhood friend, Rachel. He said it so casually, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. “Rachel’s dress got ruined, and we couldn’t find a replacement in time. You two are about the same size, so I just let her borrow it.” “I remember you have a few backup dresses, right? Why don’t you just wear one of those tonight?” I thought back on the past seven years, and how this wasn't the first time he'd put me second for Rachel. For one of my birthdays, he gave me a cheap necklace from a street stall but bought Rachel a ruby necklace at a high-end auction. His excuse? “You’re an Alpha’s daughter; you already have everything. Rachel’s different.” When I was sick with a fever and needed him, he was busy comforting Rachel because she was afraid of the dark. He’d told me, “Rachel’s fragile and timid. She needs me more.” It happened over and over again. This time, I was finally done. The borrowed dress and the unfaithful man—I wanted neither.
