Home Planning

After five years in the city chasing a career that slowly burned her out, Mira Ellis returns to her quiet hometown with nothing but exhaustion, memories, and the echo of her father’s legacy. She tells herself it’s temporary—a pause, not a full stop. But the town she left has shifted in small, meaningful ways. Her childhood home feels both familiar and foreign. Her best friend, Zuri, is still a hurricane of warmth. And then there’s Darian Carter—the quiet carpenter whose voice carries through the town meeting like a hammer to the heart. They weren’t close back then, and they don’t exactly start off on the right foot now. His words sting. Hers cut back. But as the tension between them simmers, something else stirs beneath it—something deeper, something that neither of them are quite ready for. As Mira begins to uncover what she’s really running from—grief, pressure, and the ghost of a dream—she must ask herself a question that terrifies her more than failure ever did: What if coming home isn’t about a place at all?

I know that you didn’t want to marry me, so I won’t touch you. I’ll apply for a divorce tomorrow and give you back your freedom.” But wait, Qiao Xuan hadn’t figured out what was going on yet!

Your husband’s a fool for letting you go. I’m going to show you exactly what you’ve been missing. Even if it’s just for tonight, I promise you won’t forget me. After this, I’ll be the only man in your mind," Greg said before capturing her lips in a passionate kiss. Was it wrong to accept it just because she was married, even though the man she was married to had been betraying her time and time again? Her mind let go of logic; she no longer cared if what they were doing was forbidden. She had made up her mind to surrender herself to him completely, letting him do whatever he desired with her tonight. So she whispered, “Turn off the lights…” Greg smirked, knowing the switch was just within reach, but instead of turning the lights off completely, he dimmed them to the faintest glow without removing his gaze from her. “Forgive me, Cammy. I cannot turn it off completely. I want to see your face when I take you to heaven over and over again while you are screaming my name.” Her hands traced his broad, strong chest, feeling its strength and solidity. ‘Oh God, I’m touching another man’s body!’ she shouted silently in her mind. Before her courage fully faltered, she felt Greg gripped on her wrist, as he released her lips, and whispered, “Not yet, Ms. beautiful. Let's take it slow… I want you to remember our time together as your best without any regrets. I want you to remember me as the man who made you feel important and wanted. Tonight you're the only woman in my life. The only woman my eyes see and my mind thinks of. You are mine, and mine alone. Do you understand?!” ********** A song excerpt that mirrors the emotion of the book. ***The song is not mine.*** I remember back when we were in love And we followed the fire in our hearts We moved every mountain we touched And we danced in the light of the stars I know nothing beautiful lasts But when I get to heaven I'll ask To go back to when we were in love… ********** The Author’s Completed Work: Book 1: CEO’s Contract Obsession - Contemporary Romance (CEO/Sweet Love), 2023 Book 2: The Royal Mark - Fantasy Romance (Werewolf/Fated Mates), 2023
