THE INSPIRATION
"When my son and I lost my husband — his father — our world seemed helplessly shattered. The grief was overwhelming, consuming even the smallest moments of daily life. We mourned the life we knew, the safety we felt, and the future we imagined. Parts of this story were born from that heartbreak. It is a reflection of the journey through unimaginable loss — and the whispered hope that love never truly leaves us, but sometimes returns in a new and breathtaking form."
the story
BOOK 1: WHEN LOVE REMAINS
A hauntingly beautiful, semi-fictional novel about finding love after devastating loss. Rich with emotion and lyrical prose, it explores the delicate balance between holding on and letting go — seamlessly combined with the transformative power of erotic surrender.
