“Even when I have nothing left, I’ll have everything I need.” -Phoenix.
With her 10-year plan working out just the way she’d mapped it 6 years ago, Phoenix welcomed the life she’d crafted for herself. There seemed to be no rain threatening her sunshine, but as legend tells it, when it rains, it indeed pours.
At the peak of her professional success, she silently fights the most challenging battle she’s ever been up against. But her parents were on to something when they named her Phoenix. No matter how many times she goes down, she rises. A series of unfortunate occurrences lands her in Solace Point, searching for a cure, yet, she gets a remedy by the name of Dr. Blaise Jones instead.
Dr. Blaise Jones has acquired everything he’d planned for himself. Leaving no box unchecked, he journeys to Solace Point for the culmination of his medical accomplishments. With a corner office and a white coat, life couldn’t be more perfect. But a welcome mixer sets his sights on the ideal distraction. She lit up her corner booth with enough fire to melt the ice that had subconsciously formed around his workaholic heart.
One late-night encounter at the town’s premier coffee shop complicates the sole intentions of Phoenix and Blaise. Barriers are crossed, and vows are broken in this fight for life, love, and peace. A heart-warming romance that proves, one never really falls when they’re in love with their soulmate.

Ledge (The Domino Effect Book 1) by Grey Huffington
Beautiful disaster.
The first thing that comes to mind when I think of her.
Who hurt you?
The first question comes to mind when I open my mouth to greet her.
Although it wasn’t the easiest to reach, I knew her heart was pure. Gentle to the touch yet stubborn as a bull, she made it hard to resist her. Unintentionally, she sank her hooks in me. She was the calm before my storm. A thunderous, darkening storm with lightning that graciously exposed the paternity of my brother and me. Though the gloom of it all lingered above both our heads, the winds that accompanied the storm were the breath of fresh air that I needed. Instead of the hovering clouds producing gazillions of little droplets of rain, they showered me with new siblings, nieces, nephews, sister-in-laws, and brother-in-laws. For so long, it had just been me, my mother, my cousins, and my brother. But, then there was her and eventually, them. Simultaneously, I found my father and my forever. And, I was ready for whatever when it came down to them both.
Victim of my despair.
That’s what I believe him to be.
Why must you continue hurting yourself to love me?
It’s the question I desperately want to ask the man who sees no flaws in such a flawed woman.
Persistent, he was – unintentionally making it most difficult to bury my trauma. Forgetting the past and what it had done to me wasn’t easy. I lived with the consequences of it all each and every day. But, him, he made me want to. The issue was, I couldn’t. Not for him. Not for me. Not for our future. So, instead of stringing him along, I prayed each day that he’d find someone to fill the void that his heart must’ve suffered from because I couldn’t. But, he didn’t want anyone else. He wanted me. I just didn’t have myself to give. Not to him… and not even to me.
