A Widow’s Child, A Wife’s Goodbye

A Widow’s Child, A Wife’s Goodbye

By the third year of my marriage to Daniel Hawthorne, the war had already taken more than it ever returned, and this time it took his younger brother, Thomas Hawthorne. My sister-in-law, Eleanor, collapsed, and in the weeks that followed she tried to follow her husband into death— once with sleeping pills, once by the river beyond the officers’ quarters— only to be dragged back both times, each time clinging to me afterward as though I were the last thing keeping her grounded. I stayed with her, wiped her tears, and whispered that Thomas would want her to live, until the day she received the test results confirming she was three months pregnant, and the grief of losing her husband was slowly softened by the arrival of new life. I smiled too, believing grief had finally loosened its grip. That night, holding my own pregnancy test in my hand and thinking it was finally time to tell Daniel, I passed the study and heard his friend say quietly, “She’s carrying your child. You convinced the doctors to adjust the timeline so everyone would believe the baby belonged to your brother. Aren’t you afraid Margaret will find out?” Daniel didn’t hesitate. “She won’t,” he said calmly. “She loves me. She wouldn’t leave. I won’t let her know.” I didn’t step inside. I didn’t confront him. Instead, I opened the letter I had received weeks earlier— an official deployment order from the international medical corps, assigning me to a frontline war zone— and tapped Accept.

Rebirth: I Watch the Wicked Fall

Rebirth: I Watch the Wicked Fall

After checking my final exam results, I hand the bottle of water given by my mother and the amethyst bracelet given by my childhood friend to the school bully with AIDS. In my previous life, my exam score of 1250 was swapped with the score of 600 of my younger adopted sister, Adelia Quentin, right after I drank that bottle of water. My health immediately deteriorated in the following days. I had a high fever and kept on coughing up blood. I was even nearly bedridden from severe pain. On the other hand, Adelia miraculously recovered from her stomach cancer. I begged my mother to send me to the hospital. But not only did she refuse, but she even mocked me and accused me of faking my illness. She then locked me in the basement. They celebrated Adelia's enrollment in university while I writhed helplessly in pain. In the end, I died in the basement all alone. After my death, Adelia used my exam score of 1250 to study at a renowned university. She also officially started her relationship with Thomas Haynes, my childhood friend. It was only then that I finally realized that the bottle of water my mother handed me had been cursed. My exam results would be swapped away when I drank it. Meanwhile, the amethyst bracelet Thomas gifted me would swap my health condition with Adelia's three days after I wore it. I'd get Adelia's stomach cancer and die a painful death. Just as I open my eyes again, I find myself back on the day I checked my exam results.

Locked Out Over the Same Coat

Locked Out Over the Same Coat

When I head over to my daughter, Hannah Westfield's place for dinner during Christmas Eve, I specifically wear a wool coat for the occasion. Unexpectedly, when Hannah sees me, she pushes me out of the front door instantly. "Mom, why must you buy the same coat as my mother-in-law did? Don't you know that she hates it when others imitate her? Hurry up and take off the coat before she sees you!" Meanwhile, my son-in-law, Thomas Clifford, digs out an old coat and puts it on me. "Mom, there are many relatives visiting our house today. Please spare my mom her pride and don't steal her thunder, okay?" Seeing how sincere Thomas looks, I decide to yield. But as soon as I take my seat, Giselle Johnson chortles in amusement as she stares at the old coat I'm wearing. "Oh Fiona, if you like my clothes, you could've just said so, and I'd give it to you. It's bad if you just steal my old coat from me and wear it, you know? Besides, don't you know that those who imitate always do a bad job at it?" Furious, I'm about to up and leave when Giselle grabs the coat and blocks my way. "I placed two money envelopes in the coat pockets a few days ago. There are 20 thousand dollars in there. Why are they gone after you've worn it? "I don't mind you wearing my coat behind my back, but you must return the money to me right now!"

Found Book 2, " A Vampire's Witch". Hope we find out about Ryder, Lily & Fam & Friends from Book 1. Book 1, "Fated to the Werewolf King" left us hanging by jumping 20 yrs into the future with no follow-up. Fingers crossed we find out more. I believe your writing will not disappoint. It is so GOOD!!

This book is intriguing and different and makes you want to consume it, making it hard to put down. Allie Carstens made a well written story of a playboy who doesn't want a mate, but doesn't know how to feel when he gets what he's been wanting for long. It's sweet,with twists and will captivate you.

This story was sooo GOOD! I read it twice! I’m just so in love with it that I wish I had it as a book as well. I love the main characters in this. The story flowed so well, and it just kept me hooked! And I love that the main female is a person of color, there’s not a lot of that on here. Love this!

Scharf heiß 2

Scharf heiß 2

Mit vierzig Jahren glaubt Reine, die Gelassenheit in der Ehe mit Richard gefunden zu haben, einem sanften und aufmerksamen Mann, der zwanzig Jahre älter ist als sie. Doch diese Ruhe wird auf die Probe gestellt, als Gabriel, Richards Sohn, auftaucht, um den Sommer unter ihrem Dach zu verbringen. Gabriel, fünfundzwanzig, ist alles, was Reine verabscheut: arrogant, zynisch, und er begegnet ihr nur mit frostigen Blicken und tückischen Stichen. Er wirft ihr vor, seinen Vater wegen seines Geldes geheiratet zu haben, und sieht in ihr eine Opportunistin. Die Spannung zwischen ihnen ist spürbar, ein explosives Gemisch aus Verachtung und einer unbestreitbaren Anziehung, die sie heftig zu verbergen versuchen. Jedes Abendessen ist ein Schlachtfeld, jede Begegnung im engen Raum des Hauses ein Funke. Alles kippt während eines heftigen Gewitters, als Richard abwesend ist. Ein besonders heftiger Streit lässt sie allein, durchnässt und vor Wut zitternd zurück. Die Beleidigungen weichen plötzlich einem schweren Schweigen, dann einem wilden und befreienden Kuss. Dieser erste Kontakt ist das Vorzimmer einer verzehrenden und verbotenen Leidenschaft. Sie treffen sich heimlich, verwandeln ihren Hass in ein rohes und obsessives Verlangen. Die Argumente werden zu sinnlichen Wettkämpfen, jede Versöhnung wird auf den zerknitterten Laken der nächstgelegenen Alcove gefeiert. Sie erkunden ihre Körper und Grenzen und entdecken, dass unter dem Groll eine unerwartete Vertrautheit und eine geteilte Verwundbarkeit verborgen liegt. Doch der Schatten von Richard lastet auf ihrer Affäre. Jede Lüge drückt schwer auf Reines Gewissen, zerrissen zwischen ihrer Zuneigung zu ihrem Mann und ihrer irrationalen Leidenschaft für Gabriel. Letzterer muss sich zudem seinem eigenen Groll gegen seinen Vater und den komplexen Gefühlen stellen, die ihn mit der Frau verbinden, die er eigentlich hassen sollte. Kann ihre Geschichte die Verräterei und das Gewicht des Geheimnisses überstehen, oder war sie nur ein Strohfeuer, dazu verurteilt, in Schuld zu vergehen?
