Cole lost the love of his life to his own betrayal. He fought to redeem himself, but time had already sealed his fate. Now, he is left to reckon with the harsh reality that his wife Sara has moved on, her heart now held by another man. Not just any man, but Archie-his best friend-the one who stood by her, mending the wounds Cole had inflicted.

And so, he must move on too. He must learn to exist without her, to piece together a life where love is a distant memory, where the one who once meant everything is no longer his to hold. But is there still a path to happiness for a man who has lost everything? Can he rise from the ashes of his mistakes, prove himself worthy, even when no one believes he can?

And more importantly... can he still find love?

This story is Cole's awakening, a journey of reckoning and renewal, as he sheds the weight of his past and rises into the man he was meant to be.

*This story is the sequel to Unfaithful and should be read in order to understand the full narrative*

In this captivating spin-off of All That She Needs, Kayden's story unfolds, a tale of love, loss, and a second chance that could change everything.

Haley was the love of his life-the girl who once saw him as her whole world. But eight years ago, everything fell apart, and Kayden had only himself to blame.

Now, fate has given him another chance. Through letters and shared memories, he lays out the truth, hoping to reignite what was lost-and, most importantly, to earn her forgiveness.

But Haley is torn. Drawn to Kayden in ways she can't explain, yet lost in the haunting gaps of her past, she struggles to make sense of the emotions pulling her toward him. Can she trust him? Can she trust herself?

Or are some things better left forgotten?

This story can be enjoyed as a standalone; however, for the best experience, I recommend reading All That She Needs first. Available now on Amazon Kindle and Kindle Unlimited.
