Books like Bitter-sweet waters by Yvonne Whittal
Abby’s life has always followed a predictable path: a loving fiancé, her parents’ approval, and a future that seemed secure. The ordinary rhythm of her days is shattered when she meets Hammond Scott, a penniless artist whose presence lifts her to new emotional heights.
Although their time together is fleeting, Hammond’s influence compels Abby to question what truly matters in a relationship and what she is willing to sacrifice for love. In the wake of this brief, transformative romance, she confronts the depths of human longing and the realities of a heart that has never been tugged by another force.
Ultimately, Abby must decide whether to cling to the familiar or follow the pull of a love that challenged everything she knew about herself.
