She left without a word. He stayed with all the silence she left behind. Now, their town—and their hearts—are on the line. When Ellie Whitaker returns to her small hometown to care for her ailing mother, the last thing she expects is to run straight into Rhett Monroe—the man she once loved and left without explanation. Time hasn’t erased the hurt between them… or the pull. But Silver Ridge is changing fast. A land deal threatens Rhett’s farm, and Ellie finds herself caught between a past she never fully faced and a future she’s not sure she deserves. As the floodwaters rise—both literal and emotional—Ellie and Rhett are forced to uncover the truth, confront what was lost, and ask the hardest question of all: Can love really survive what time and silence tried to erase? Back in His Arms is a slow-burn second-chance romance about broken roots, quiet forgiveness, and the kind of love that never really lets go.

Some dreams are worth the fight. Some loves are worth coming back for. When Lena Ward returns to Silver Ridge, she's determined to put the past behind her. A second chance, however, catches her off guard and takes her back to the middle of the town that she abandoned and into the arms of the man she can't stop thinking about. Tyler Jacobs knows that life isn't a fairy tale. But when Lena comes back into his life, he's prepared to fight to have the one future he's ever wanted—with her. They'll rebuild not just a broken bar but broken pieces of their hearts. With hard-won friendships, small-town magic, slow-burn romance, and the unshakable ties of chosen family, Inevitable is a tale of new beginnings, standing tall, and discovering that sometimes the life you're meant to live isn't the one you mapped out—it's the one you fight for.

They banished him because he lacked a flame. They never dreamed that he would ascend by spinning life itself. In a universe where elemental forces dominate, Eryndor Thorne was banished as an aberration. No fire burned at his fingertips. No storms were summoned into obedience by his will. Only a teenager of eighteen years, he was stripped of the clan crest and banished to the Outlands—the wild borderland where sorcery is untamed, beasts are unattended, and human tracks are unknown. But Eryndor is not as powerless as they think. In the midst of the rot and ruin, he discovers an ancient gift lost to the ages—Lifeweaving, the ability to feel, shape, and command the force of life itself. Not magic in the world's terms, but something older. Something deeper. With his otherworldly sidekick, a bonded forest creature named Ashroot, Eryndor lives a precarious life in the wild. But tranquility does not last. His strange abilities begin to awaken ancient forces. Warlords seek to seize him. Scholars long to open him up. And from the North comes a cursed flame-bearer, Lysira Valeblade, a woman with a purpose to hunt him down. But the weave and the flame are not so different. And the fire between Lysira and Eryndor will not be so easily extinguished. As the shadows deepen and the threads of destiny tighten, Eryndor must choose: Remain in hiding or ignite the flame of a revolution. A dark fantasy romance simmering with deadly forests, forbidden power, and a hero who doesn't want to save the world but might just be the only one to do it. Lifeweaver: The Mage without Flame is perfect for fans of The Name of the Wind, The Witcher, and The Bone Season.
