EVERYTHING HE NEVER TOLD ME
He never meant to become the man she would one day fear. Kai Lindholm had a plan: finish his engineering degree, build prosthetic limbs for veterans who’d lost theirs, and marry the girl who saw beyond his ordinary life to the man he truly was.
Ivy Sinclair-Vance had a plan too: escape the gilded cage her billionaire father had built for her and choose an ordinary happiness over the future he’d already arranged. For a while, it worked. They married. They believed they’d beaten the odds.
Then Kai started to change.
At first, it was almost nothing: sleepless nights, flashes of jealousy, moments that were easy to explain away. Then came the company that consumed him, the accusations that came from nowhere, and the stranger Ivy no longer recognized standing in their kitchen. By the time Ivy realizes something is terribly wrong, love alone may no longer be enough to save them. Everything He Never Told Me is the story of a love that was real, and the truth that arrived too late.
Some people don’t fall apart all at once. Some people take everyone they love down with them, one small silence at a time.
MR. WINTERBOURNE
In the 1990s, Debra Cowdrey is an aspiring novelist whose work is repeatedly rejected. Convinced that the publishing world will never take her seriously as a woman, she submits her next manuscript under the male pen name Alec Winterbourne.
The deception changes everything.
The novel is accepted almost immediately, launching a celebrated literary career built upon an invented identity. Years later, when Debra unexpectedly meets a man whose real name is Alec Winterbourne, a simple arrangement gradually becomes something far more dangerous. Public appearances, interviews, literary prizes, and the expectations of an entire industry begin to blur the line between the woman who writes the books and the man the world believes wrote them.
As success grows, so too does the cost of the lie. The author disappears behind the name she created, until reclaiming her own identity becomes almost impossible.
Mr. Winterbourne is a literary psychological drama about authorship, identity, love, ambition, and the devastating consequences of allowing fiction to become reality.
