Lotus: Second Chance Love with Romantic Suspense

by Jennifer Hartmann

“It’s all those sex books you read. Your standards are too high.”

“I always save you.”

“One person’s suffering shouldn’t take the joy out of something others may find pleasure in,”

“There is beauty to be found everywhere…even in the things that scare us.”

“We need to fight for what’s in our hearts. No one else can do that for us,” she tells me pointedly. “And if there is anything on this earth worth fighting for, it’s love.”

“You heal me. Every day you put another piece of me back together,”

“A wise woman once told me that there is beauty to be found everywhere. Even in the things that scare us.”

But true strength isn’t necessarily overcoming the fight—it is how we fight. It is not within the sword itself, but in how we wield it.

The Black Lotus finally has his queen.

“Trauma is like poison. It seeps in when you least expect it to, and it lingers long after the initial dust has settled, inflicting more damage, more destruction. It’s a vicious cycle.”

The Lotus will bloom into the most magnificent flower, even when its roots are in the murkiest of waters.
