My Three Loves This is the powerful, personal account of my journey and the vital lessons learned through three pivotal loves. My First Love, Kaden, taught me how to love openly. The relationship with Raymond, the dark Lesson, shattered my self-worth, forcing me to find the strength to survive and establish boundaries. I found my Coming Home in Noah, a steady, inevitable return who became my anchor for healing. Together, we rebuilt our lives, culminating in the birth of our children. The story affirms that every past heartbreak and choice was necessary, proving that nothing, in the end, was wasted.

My best friend, Summer Cortez, is a self-proclaimed independent woman who constantly talks about how much she hates men. Some time ago, she showed up with a heavily pregnant belly and claimed that she'd undergone IVF overseas because she wanted to be a single mother by choice. Today's the day she's discharged from the postpartum retreat. My boyfriend, Adrian Haynes, fusses over her every step of the way, even stocking up on the most expensive baby diapers in advance. He wipes the sweat from his forehead, trying to appease me. "Summer's had it tough. As your boyfriend, it's only right that I help to take care of your best friend." Summer reclines against the headboard, a haughty expression on her face. "If it weren't for Sylvia's sake, I'd never have let a stinking man lay a finger on my baby." I simply smile in return. I'm just about to hand her the generous gift I've prepared for the baby, Noah Cortez's one-month celebration, when Noah blows a raspberry and lets out a tiny coo in the cradle. To everyone else, it's just meaningless baby babble. But to my ears, which had just undergone surgery after a car accident, it turns into a childish voice of complaint. [Daddy's such a good actor. Just last night, he was hugging and kissing Mommy in the bathroom.] The smile on my face instantly freezes. I look up at Adrian, only to find him staring at Summer with unmistakable affection. A cold laugh escapes my lips as I slip the check back into my bag. "On second thought, I had Adrian buy the gifts. Since you're so repulsed by men, I'm sure you wouldn't accept gifts that have been bought by one."

For twenty-three years, Elena Hart and Adrian Cole have been inseparable. They grew up together, shared a childhood promise to marry one day and became so close that everyone believed they were destined to be together. Everyone except Adrian. For two years, Elena has lived like Adrian's lover. They share a bed, go on dates and say I love you, but whenever she asks what they truly are, Adrian gives her the same answer. They are only best friends. Then Isabelle Laurent, the college crush Adrian had never truly gotten over, returns. In a matter of days, Adrian begins pursuing the woman he once believed he could never have. He tells Elena that their two years together meant nothing and warns her not to mistake their relationship for love. So Elena leaves.

As the months pass, Adrian slowly realizes that the woman he thought he could never love is the only person he can no longer live without. By the time he finally goes after her, Elena is no longer waiting. Worse, there is another man standing beside her and Elena is hiding a secret Adrian never knew existed. When the truth finally comes out, Adrian may discover that the promise he once treated like a childish joke is the one promise he will never get the chance to keep.
