"I was made and meant to look for you and wait for you and become yours forever."
Robert Browning

Maximus Blackthorne was a man chased by the ghosts of his past. He staunchly believes that love and affection are not for battle hardened men like him, with a dark soul and a barely beating heart. 
But he had the strength and will power of ten demons combined when it came to ruthlessness and survival instinct. 
His jaded and complex life is upended and changed forever when his path crosses Katherine's, a battered and brutalised woman whom he finds on a dark winter night.

Katherine Dawson has been trying to forget a past that has haunted and chased her endlessly. Despite her mortal fears and insecurities, she has finally managed to carve a niche for herself and made a small place under the sun. Sometimes, just sometimes, she wishes if she could find true love too. But alas! Love was not for severely damaged people like her. 

Life has a way of teaching us that while our sorrow may be profound, the clouds will clear, and the sun will shine on us again.

What happens when two lonely, broken souls eventually find love, happiness and home in each other? 

A Match Made in Heaven.

"You're someone worth protecting, Sammy," he asserted, the roughness of his voice prominent. My stomach did so many flips that I couldn't tell if I was standing rightside up anymore. I opened my mouth to reply, then closed it. What could I possibly say to that? How could I possibly reply to something like that? His finger on my chin was shooting sparks through me, lighting my veins on fire with an emotion I wasn't sure I recognized. I felt like I could stand here forever. Nevermind the fact that I was nearly shivering from the cold or that every second I stood here was only delaying an inevitable promise of retribution. Nevermind the fact that I had only just met him. Because right now I felt like something inside me was drawn to him, demanding that I remain beside him. "You have no idea," he rasped, his voice comforting and unnerving all at once. He was right, I did have no idea. I didn't know what he meant. All I knew was that I was standing on this porch by Greyson and he was looking at me as if he could see into my soul. ***** Sammy had wanted to leave behind her small town in Kentucky for a place where nobody would know her or her tragic past. But moving to Montana a few years ago has offered her nothing near the calm life with a clean plate that she had desired. Instead, a new group of friends whom she loves as if they were family. But also, Tyson Crawford. The boy she fell for sophomore year of college...now the dangerous man she can't get away from. As the dark secrets of her life become harder and harder to hide from her friends, dark secrets of their own begin to emerge. And now that Greyson Shawnel is coming back to town - a man she's only ever heard of in her friends' stories - Sammy's entire world is catching on fire. Because Greyson can see through the cracks of her lies, and he doesn't intend to let it go on any longer. Even if there's a larger danger looming on the horizon, one that threatens them all...

*EDITORS' CHOICE 2021*After falling for her senior year teacher, Louise learns a harsh lesson on what adulthood isn't. Louise has some trauma to unpack. Heartbreak's a bitch, and her first relationship had been anything but normal. Thinking herself mature for her age, her affair with Mr. Cain started swooningly well. Except things ended quite abruptly. It's a lot for a seventeen year old to handle. But who's really at fault for what happened? Who even is Mr. Cain, and what is he hiding? From the wreckage of her naivety and self-esteem, can Louise save her friendships and rebuild herself? Our love songs aren't telling the whole truth. How can this be? In this tale of vulnerability, adolescence and painful reckoning, the arrogance of youth demands a price. * "'You're what, Louise?' he asked. 'You're sorry? What am I supposed to do here? How can I turn this around? How can I tell you that everything you want and feel is reciprocated, when I have to go back to work and pretend none of it happened?' 'I don't know the answer!' I cried. 'Neither of us do.' I threw my hands up in defeat. He caught them before they could fall. 'But how do I go back to living without your words?' His voice became a whisper. He squeezed my fingers tightly, closing his eyes and bringing them to his chest. 'I need how you make me feel, Luiza. I need it to feel alive. I won't stay away. No one's made me feel this good before. And I can't stand myself for wanting what I want. What do I do?' I was a violin bow on the verge of splintering. Every inch of me pulsed with an ache that began from the marrow of my bones. Fate had brought us here. At this crossroads of ours, there were a hundred different choices to make. A thousand different lifetimes to choose from, stemming from and decided entirely by my next choice. And in the end, I chose incorrectly. I held his face between my hands, feeling the echoing pulse of his skin. I brought his face to mine. I kissed him."
