Collection
Regret romance is the trope where the man finally sees what he had, and it is already gone. Readers love the slow, sick feeling of watching a proud man realize too late that the woman he dismissed was the one holding everything together. The best regret stories give him the truth and then make him live with it, one quiet scene at a time.
Start with A Night of White Noise, where a dying wife comes home early and finds her husband asleep beside their young housekeeper. Then try The Wolf I Tamed, where a woman takes ninety percent of everything she built and lets her mate find out what he is without her. For a long, aching wait, I Woke Up and He Was Hers follows a bride who wakes from a coma to find the man she saved ruling Palermo with the girl who caused it all.
