Heartbreaker

Love’s Fractured Gleam

When investigative journalist Elena Moore arrives in the coastal town of Seabrook to cover a charity gala for wounded veterans, she expects polite smiles and heartwarming anecdotes. Instead, she finds herself drawn to the dark-eyed presence of former military contractor Gabriel “Gabe” Knight, a man whose reputation for uncompromising tactics precedes him. Beneath the glittering chandeliers of the soirée, Gabe’s stoic exterior masks a pain that refuses to stay buried—one that Elena is determined to uncover. As she navigates candlelit corridors and hushed conversations in the gala’s ornate wing, she senses that Gabe’s own story may be the one no one wants told.

Shadows on the Boardwalk

Elena’s inquiries lead her to the abandoned naval dockyard where Gabe once ran covert missions, and each clue uncovers layers of betrayal. From coded messages scrawled on rusted hulls to late-night stakeouts in fog-shrouded alleys, she discovers that Gabe’s past is entwined with a covert operation gone disastrously wrong. Haunted by the memory of fallen comrades and a promise he couldn’t keep, Gabe pushes Elena away—yet cannot ignore the spark between them. As tensions escalate and corporate mercenaries circle, Elena and Gabe must decide whether to trust each other’s instincts or risk losing everything to secrets that refuse to stay submerged.

The Heart’s Reckoning

With the gala’s final auction looming—and a lethal conspiracy threatening to explode in the town square—Elena and Gabe mount a desperate gambit to expose those who would exploit the vulnerable. Racing through storm-lashed seaside streets and into the echoing docks at dawn, they confront the mastermind behind the scheme in a tense, heart-pounding standoff. When Gabe must choose between revenge and redemption, Elena’s unwavering courage becomes his only compass. In a breathtaking climax under the neon glow of the boardwalk, they learn that true healing demands both forgiveness and the courage to love again.
