Holly thought she had it all—a decade-long marriage to the love of her life, Michael, a cozy home, and a sense of stability. But when Michael starts pulling away and forming a suspiciously close bond with a charming coworker, Holly feels the familiar pangs of being invisible in her own love story. Determined not to jump to conclusions, she supports Michael through his stress, even as her own insecurities and loneliness deepen. But everything changes during his work trip. Faced with the slow unraveling of her marriage, Holly chooses herself for the first time in years. She throws herself into therapy, fitness, and healing—reconnecting with parts of herself she had long buried. By chance, she meets Finn, a magnetic bartender with a guarded past and a knack for listening. Their late-night conversations turn into something more… something safe, yet electric. Now caught between the ashes of a long-term love and the flicker of something new, Holly must answer the hardest question of all: Can love survive betrayal—or is it time to let go of what once was, to make room for what could be?

Aria Morgan is hated by her father and despised by her pack. They choose a life of atonement for her. Atonement for her mother’s supposed betrayal of the Eclipse pack that led to the death of ten pack members. The only light in her life is her younger sister, Piper, who she will do anything to protect. Dane Holden, Alpha of the Shadow Vale pack, has spent years actively working to bring down anything associated with the Morgan family all because of a link between them and the death of his brother. As the next step of his revenge plan, he approaches Aria’s father with a contract that will tie him and Aria together in a chosen mate-bond. Betrayal and secrets run deep in both Dane and Aria’s lives. Things that they believed to be real were nothing more than lies wrapped up in honey to hide the truth from ever coming to light. Dane’s world turns upside down when he realizes that everything he had believed for the past four years has been nothing but a lie. What is worse is that he has repeatedly hurt someone who he should have protected. Will it be too late to fix things, or will he die before he can earn her forgiveness? Only time will tell...

My boyfriend passed away from illness. Before he died, he asked me to look after his only younger brother—Callum Ressler. I put Callum through college, and helped him build his company from the ground up. Then one night, after a round of drinking at some work function, he ended up in bed with me. While I wrestled with what we were to each other, I noticed something on his office desk: a photo of me, framed neatly beside an engagement ring. My heart stirred. I pushed open the lounge door, ready to finally talk about us. But just as the door creaked open, a white camisole fell at my feet. I froze. Callum pulled the covers tightly around a shocked female assistant. "Diana, ever heard of knocking?" he snapped. Face pale, limbs suddenly uncoordinated, I started backing out. But the assistant's timid voice stopped me. "Diana… could you hand me my clothes?" I ignored the hostility behind her eyes, grabbed the garment, tossed it onto the bed, and left in a hurry. Once I stepped outside the company building, Callum called. "Diana, you should really stop barging into my room like that." I laughed and agreed. From that moment on, I never stepped into his world again.
