Some stories begin where others end - in the middle of heartbreak, longing, and the quiet courage it takes to start over. A Start From The Beginning is a debut short story collection from romance novelist and poet S. S. Love. Across four emotionally charged tales, she explores the moments that change us - the stranger whose eyes find yours in a crowded church, the dream lover you wake up missing, the ancient world where Gods walk among the living, and the hollow ache of losing the one person you believed was made for you.
Lyrical, raw, and deeply human, these stories remind us that love is never just a feeling. It is a fire, a wound, a beginning. Includes: Heated - A woman's decision to change her life takes an unexpected turn the moment a stranger's gaze locks onto her soul. Love Burns - Under a blazing Texas sun, a chance meeting between two strangers feels too powerful to be real - because it isn't. The Unknown - Born to fallen Gods on a distant planet, young Sara is about to discover that the world beyond her tribe holds wonders and dangers she was never meant to face alone.
A Path of Self - A meditation on grief, love, and finding your way back to yourself after losing everything. Perfect for fans of multicultural romance, fantasy fiction, and short story collections that stay with you long after the last page.
