Three Loves and Everything Between is a raw, intimate memoir-style novel about a young woman who survives heartbreak, loss, and the quiet wars inside herself—only to discover that love, when it’s real, can still find her. Told with honesty and unfiltered vulnerability, the story follows her through the three defining loves of her life. With Kaden, she learns what first love feels like—the innocence, the thrill, and the belief that forever is a promise you can keep just by wanting it enough. But youth proves fragile, and what felt easy eventually slips through her fingers. With Raymond, she learns what love can take. He enters her life with charm and promises, only to unravel into control and emotional chaos. Their relationship leads to a pregnancy she never got to keep—an experience that shatters her, scars her, and teaches her the cost of losing your voice inside someone else’s decisions. And then there is Noah—the boy who had always lingered at the edges of her life. When he returns years later, their reconnection is quiet but powerful. What begins as an unexpected reunion becomes a love rooted in gentleness, safety, and choice. When she becomes pregnant again—after only three months back together—the fear of her past resurfaces. But unlike before, Noah gives her something she’s never had: control. Respect. Partnership. And a love strong enough to walk with her through postpartum depression, healing, rebuilding, and becoming a mother on her own terms. Through heartbreak, young motherhood, grief, rebuilding trust, and rediscovering herself, she learns that love isn’t about perfection—it’s about choosing each other through every version of life. Three Loves and Everything Between is her journey toward peace, motherhood, and the kind of love that finally feels like home.

In the third year of my marriage, I endure a full day of painful labor to give birth to my first child. However, my husband steals the baby to give to his true love. I try my damnedest to stop him, but all I get is a barrage of insults. "It's just a baby! I'm the one who planted the seed, so I get to decide who gets the fruit!" I'm overwhelmed by grief as I watch my husband leave. However, he shares a happy post on his social media. "Mother and daughter are safe." His true love comments, "Thank you for giving me a child, Jaspie. I'll be the happiest woman in the world with you two by my side." Clueless friends bless them and wish them well. I silently comment, "Give me back my child." All I get is another round of insults. Then, I'm blocked. I don't want to endure this anymore. I hire a lawyer to draft divorce papers before making a police report. "Officer, I want to report my husband for child trafficking."

For ten years, Cal Mercer and Ethan Locke have been the hockey league’s favorite scandal: fists thrown, penalties stacked, a rivalry so vicious it sells jerseys. Then a trade puts them on the same bench... and everything ignites. Their chemistry isn’t friendly or forgiving. It’s brutal, exacting, and charged with tension that feels far too personal. Cal, feared for his massive body and punished for his powerful temper, secretly craves rules that he was never allowed to name. Ethan, ice-cold and commanding, thrives on control, until Cal’s instinctive submission cuts too close to a need Ethan has so far refused to acknowledge. As the season tightens and scrutiny mounts, their power struggle stops being accidental and becomes chosen. Lines are drawn, boundaries are negotiated, and a Dom/sub dynamic is explored. What begins as hatred turns deliberate, dangerous, and achingly intimate – something neither man can afford, and neither can resist. 'Thin Ice Between Us' is a forbidden M/M romance set inside a league that celebrates sanctioned violence while outlawing intimacy between men. This isn’t love at first sight, but something sharper: dominance earned, submission chosen, and conflict transformed into trust. On the ice, they’re allowed to destroy each other. Everywhere else, wanting becomes a real risk... but being discovered will cost them everything
