Falling in Love

by Nureyluna

Thea, princess of Versailles, longs for a taste of normal life beyond the palace walls. At her dream university, she’s ready for freedom, friendship, and maybe even a second chance at love. But nothing goes as planned. Her ex has already moved on, secrets swirl in the shadows of grand halls, and a mysterious neighbor keeps stepping into her path at the most unexpected moments. He’s magnetic, infuriating, and strangely familiar—until one word from his lips shatters everything she thought she knew. With destiny tugging at her heart, Thea must navigate glittering balls, hidden histories, and the kind of connection that feels like fate refusing to be ignored.

What Remains The John Baker Story

What Remains The John Baker Story

by Jeannie Sharpe

Savannah Baker has built her life on loyalty, routine, and the quiet belief that love, real love, means staying. In Nashville, where every street carries a memory, Savannah's world centers on her husband, John Baker, and their two teenagers, Joseph and Sadie. John is the kind of man people trust without question: a devoted father, a steady presence, a life that looks unshakable from the outside.

But appearances have a way of hiding what matters most. When a car accident leaves John fighting for his life, the fragile foundation of their world begins to fracture. As he struggles to recover, the quiet spaces between them fill with questions neither is ready to answer, because long before the crash, something had already gone wrong. Savannah senses it in the way John avoids her eyes. And then there is Claire Whitmore: a name that doesn't belong in their life, and yet somehow does.

Savannah does what she has always done. She stays. For Joseph and Sadie. For the family she believes is still worth saving. But love, she is about to learn, is not the same as trust. John is hiding something, and Savannah is running out of time to pretend she doesn't know it. When the past refuses to stay buried, she must face the question she has spent her life avoiding: what do you do when the person you love most becomes someone you no longer recognize?
