SELF PUBLISHED. BUY NOW ON AMAZON https://a.co/d/e4Gn8nX In The Illusion of Love, Ryan Bennett thought he had it all-he was about to marry the woman of his dreams, Lily Montgomery, and begin a life filled with love, stability, and promise. Their whirlwind romance seemed like the stuff of fairy tales, with every step of their journey together pointing toward a perfect future. But when the honeymoon is over, Ryan wakes up to a nightmare: Lily has vanished without a trace, leaving only a cryptic note and the painful seeds of doubt. In his search for answers, Ryan discovers the unimaginable-Lily has been secretly involved with Claire, her best friend, for years. What's worse, their entire marriage was a facade, meant only to appease Lily's conservative family. With his heart shattered and his world turned upside down, Ryan is forced to confront the harsh truth that the love he believed in was nothing more than an illusion. As Ryan grapples with feelings of betrayal, heartbreak, and humiliation, he begins a journey of self-discovery, learning that love is not a simple fairy tale and that true happiness comes from within. Along the way, he faces painful realizations about himself, the choices he made, and the person he thought he knew inside and out. But even as Ryan works to rebuild his life and reclaim his happiness, a chance encounter with Claire and a final confrontation with Lily force him to reckon with the complexities of love, identity, and the illusions we create to protect ourselves from painful truths. The Illusion of Love is a poignant exploration of the complexities of relationships, the falsehoods we cling to, and the deep, sometimes painful journey toward healing and self-empowerment. Through Ryan's emotional journey, readers will be reminded that true love is built on honesty, vulnerability, and the courage to let go.

Chronicles of becoming

4 parts Ongoing Mature

In her thirties, she walked away from a life that felt like it was closing in-leaving behind the familiar streets of Europe, a routine love, and the safety of everything she knew. Drawn by the promise of something greater, something electric, she chose New York. A city of endless lights, endless possibilities, and endless illusions. But instead of finding herself, she found emptiness. Nights blurred into fleeting encounters, brief touches that never lingered, and hollow moments disguised as connection. Beneath the vibrant pulse of the city, she felt nothing. No love, no fire, no sense of belonging-just a growing void. These are her chronicles-a raw and intimate journey of a woman lost between who she was and who she thought she could become. It's a story of longing, of chasing meaning in a world that offers only illusions, and of coming to terms with a brutal truth: sometimes, before you can find yourself, you have to confront the emptiness inside.
