Wrath is a 92K+ word story about pain, patience, and the kind of love that fights to heal what feels impossible to fix.
Lauryn James is angry—at the world, at her past, at the man who shattered her before she even had a chance to fully live. She’s spent years channeling that rage into survival, making sure no one ever hurts her again.
Asher Truesdale has never known pain like Lauryn’s, but he’s willing to stand in the fire if it means proving to her that love doesn’t always have to burn. He wasn’t supposed to fall for her. She wasn’t supposed to let him in.
But what seemed like a mistake turns into something so beautiful it has the potential to change their lives for the better.
The only question is, will Lauryn’s wrath destroy them both before she realizes Asher is exactly what she needs?

Wrath Synopsis
Lauryn James is a wayward waitress wrestling with a wrecking within. Asher Truesdale is a promising psychology student with a heart too pure for his own good. Lauryn’s got wrathful ways. Asher has Prince Charming principles.
Her temper is explosive. He has the patience of a saint.
How they met was divine timing. What they create becomes a magnet for miracles.
A mistake they believed should have never happened was actually a catalyst for something always meant to be.
Lauryn James
"Asher could do better than me. A lot better. He has a heart framed in love, and I have a heart shadowed by rage. Because rage fueled me before meeting him and kept me safe. Ironically, Asher changed that.
I hated men and wanted nothing more than to cause them as much pain as just one man caused me. But Asher was different. Asher is the guy a girl like me is supposed to only crush on but not actually attract.
I have issues that are way too deep to solve. A life that was ruined before it could really begin. My past is way too dark to see light anywhere in it, and yet he’s looked past all I think is bad to see my good.
Even if I could accept that I got lucky getting the attention of a man with a heart of gold and the patience of a saint, there’s no telling how long it will take for him to realize that saving me is impossible.
Not without losing himself."
Asher Truesdale
"I want to be the better Lauryn needs.
She was never the plan, but then again, I don’t really follow plans all that well, anyway. I’ve never experienced hardship in my life, so providing the safe space she desires is an honor.
Her issues are not her own, and I want her to know I don’t find them to be the burden she thinks they are to me.
Before meeting her, I believed I ruined my life—a life I’ve never quite been happy living, to everyone’s surprise.
All that changed when I met her.
She requires patience. A lot of patience. And I’ve got more than enough to give. Besides, love is kind and patient, and she deserves at least that after all she’s been through.
If only she could see that I fully understand and I will meet her needs.
If only she knew she was saving me just as much as she believes I’m saving her… if not more."
Wrath is a passion that inclines humans to act with a desire for vengeance. The passion by itself isn’t good or evil, but it can take on a moral quality that is rooted in intent. Wrath, in this context, is a strong feeling of resentment and a thirst for revenge.
Like every vice, there is its heavenly virtue—one that overcomes and transforms the opposing vice. And patience is wrath’s countering virtue.
But can the patient one soothe the wrath in another, transmuting this vice by providing refuge with reason and love? Or will this wrath be too great and too justified that it ends up consuming them both?
