Isaack Smith built his life around two great loves: his passion for creating culinary masterpieces and his family. As the talented owner-chef of Per Ardua, one of Manhattan's most celebrated restaurants, he thought he had everything-a successful career, a loving husband, and their precious son Angel, conceived through surrogacy. But when his husband of five years abandons them for a wealthy woman, Isaack's carefully constructed world crumbles, leaving him to pick up the pieces while protecting their six-year-old son from the fallout. Determined to create a stable life for Angel, Isaack throws himself into his restaurant and fatherhood, his heart safely lock. Then comes the annual Children's Hospital fundraiser, where fate introduces him to Jadziel Zayas, the charismatic Puerto Rican CEO of Zayas Enterprises. As Jadziel's steady presence and genuine care for both Isaack and Angel begin to melt the walls around Isaack's heart, he faces his greatest challenge: learning to trust again. With Angel's innocent wisdom, the warm embrace of Jadziel's sister Diana-and the healing power of love, Isaack discovers that sometimes the most beautiful dishes are created from life's broken ingredients. This is a story about second chances, chosen family, and the courage to believe in love again-even when it comes in unexpected ways. ---------- This story comes entirely from my imagination.

It's your choice to let these feelings live and take hold or tragically, or in this case, delightfully die." Makenna Adams can remember the first and last time she's ever been frightened of anything. That moment had turned her life into her daily nightmare. She would've never guessed that an English boy, Atlas, would be the second. The same boy who can't seem to stop thinking about what had unfolded the last time they were in the same room. He had certainly left her bruised. UPDATE: Saturdays

Makenna Adams is in her third year of College with a dark past that none of her friends know about. She's no longer the sweet and innocent girl she was three years ago, she's bitter and always seeks danger. But when an English boy, Atlas, transfers to her college, she starts to see glimpses of the old her and she won't have it because the old her is nothing but broken. Prequel to Bruised.
