WELCOME
Love written in the spaces between heartbreak and healing.
Here, the stories linger—filled with flawed hearts, quiet resilience, and the kind of love that rebuilds what life once broke.
Some endings hurt. Some heal.
All of them remind us we’re never really alone.
Welcome to my world. I’m so glad you’re here.
"I don’t know what magic Melissa Naatz is weaving through this story but it’s so good. I’ve read my fair share of hockey romance but this feels like it’s so much more and I really appreciate it."
"The emotional beats land without needing a big twist or over-the-top moment. Just two people trying to connect while carrying everything that’s come before. It worked. It really worked.
The writing is strong without drawing attention to itself. There were lines I paused on, not because they were flashy, but because they said something true."

Read the first chapter of How We End here
This isn’t a typical romance; it’s a profound exploration of love’s complexities and the scars we carry. If you’re looking for a book that challenges you and resonates on a deeper level, this is it. I can’t recommend it enough.

It’s not going to be a book for everyone. It’s messy. And covers hard topics. (NOT A ROMCOM!) But the emotions and yearning and the honest and raw portrayal of Tristan’s and Evan’s love story felt so real.
