Addicted To Chris

Irene has never had anyone. No family. No safety net. No one to call when things fall apart, maybe only her best friend June. Just a café job she hates, bills she can barely keep up with and a life she's been holding together alone for as long as she can remember. She wasn't looking for anyone. Then he walked in. Tall. Quiet. The kind of presence that didn't ask for attention but took it anyway. He ordered black coffee, left a twenty pound tip and said her name like it already meant something. She told herself he was just a customer. She almost believed it. Chris was everything she didn't know she needed. Patient. Consistent. The first person who ever made her feel like she didn't have to carry everything alone. And before she knew it Irene wasn't just falling for him-- she was addicted. To his voice. His presence. The way he showed up every single time without being asked. For the first time in her life she let someone in. That was her first mistake. Because the thing about addiction is that it doesn't warn you before it destroys you. Chris had a life she knew nothing about. A world beyond Belfast cafés and late night phone calls and candlelit dinners. A world with temptations she never saw coming. And when the truth finally surfaces Irene is left with nothing but the ruins of the first real thing she ever allowed herself to have. She walks away. Because she has to. Because staying would break what little is left of her. But walking away from Chris is not the same as being free of him. His memory lives in everything. Every song. Every late night. Every cup of coffee she can't drink without thinking of how it all started. She tries to move on. She tries to be okay. And she almost convinces herself that she is. Then he comes back. Changed. Broken. Fighting for her in ways he never did when he had her. Saying everything she needed to hear a year too late. And Irene is faced with the question she's been running from since the day she walked away — Can you forgive someone who shattered the first trust you ever gave away? Or is some damage too deep to come back from? Addicted to Chris is a story about love and betrayal. About the walls we build and the people brave enough to climb them. About learning the difference between someone who wants you and someone who truly chooses you. And about what happens when the one person you tried hardest to forget — refuses to let you go. Will curiosity or caution win? And just how dangerous can obsession get?

His Father Bought Me

“No one looks at you. No one touches you. You’re a Whitehall now. And you’re mine.” Roman’s voice was a low, dangerous growl against my neck. I tilted my chin, meeting the predator in his eyes with my own cold fire. “I belong to no one, Roman. Certainly not a beast in a jersey. If you want to claim me, you’ll have to do better than your father’s signature on a contract.” I spun my wheelchair to leave. He was faster. His hand locked around my waist, dragging me back as his palm slammed against the wall beside my head. “Don’t you fucking dare me, Estelle.” — Estelle Rutledge was the Ice Queen of the Rutledge sports dynasty: national treasure, global brand, and the financial backbone of her family’s empire. Until one catastrophic crack on the ice shattered her career… and left her in a wheelchair. In the elite world of the one percent, a broken asset becomes a liability. With the Rutledge legacy collapsing under a mountain of debt, Estelle’s own mother did the unthinkable. She sold her daughter to the highest bidder, trading Estelle’s freedom for a check from Magnus Whitehall, the ruthless billionaire owner of a professional hockey empire. But Magnus didn’t buy Estelle for himself. He bought her to be his son’s leash. Roman Whitehall is the NHL’s most dangerous beast. A volatile heir with a scandal-soaked reputation and a temper that threatens the family’s billions. To the league’s board, he’s a loose cannon. To his father, he’s a problem that needs a wife to clean up his image. The command was simple: “Be the one thing he can’t avoid… or lose your legs.” Now Estelle is legally bound to a man who sees their marriage as a cage, and her as the bars holding him in. Roman believes she’s a fragile burden. Estelle thinks he’s a monster fueled by rage and secrets. But inside the Whitehall mansion, built on power, money, and lies, Estelle discovers a terrifying truth: she is not the first “Ice Queen” Magnus Whitehall has broken. Trapped in dynasty politics and a contract signed in blood, Estelle faces an impossible choice. Will she let the Whitehalls destroy what’s left of her… or join forces with the beast she hates most and burn their empire to the ground? Because even though she hates it, Roman Whitehall may be the only man who can help her stand again. Even if he has to break her first.

Elara's Echo: A Love Reimagined

She spent years dreaming of the perfect love — passionate, electrifying, a thunderclap that would shake the world. Then she met him. And he was everything she wanted. But the man who had always been there, quiet and steady as the sunrise, was the one her heart had been waiting for all along. ____ Elara has always believed in a love written in the stars — a destined, soul-deep connection that would arrive like a lightning bolt and change everything. When the magnetic and dangerous Jude Sterling walks into her life, she is certain she has found it. He is the brooding artist she always dreamed of: intense, captivating, and utterly consuming. But Jude's passion burns hot and bright — and hollow. Beneath the charm lies manipulation, pressure, and a love that demands she shrink to fit his world. Roman Knight has always been there. Childhood friend. Silent guardian. The boy who untangled kites and walked her home and brought chicken soup when she was sick. She filed him away as a brother, a comfort, a constant — never a lover. As Jude's illusion shatters, Elara begins to see what has been in front of her all along. Love, she discovers, is not always a thunderclap. Sometimes it is the steady glow of the moon — quiet, enduring, and always pointing home. Elara's Echo is a deeply emotional coming-of-age romance about unlearning false ideals of love, recognizing the difference between infatuation and devotion, and finding the courage to embrace a love that is real — even when it doesn't look like what you imagined. ____ "She chased the storm. She never saw the lighthouse until the night it saved her."
