Description
New bodies, new careers, new scandalous discoveries. But will Nate and Cynthia Durant be able to keep their old love alive?
Seven years ago, Nate and Cynthia Durant were unrecognizable. They were in love, newly married, and hundreds of pounds overweight. Now, they turn heads wherever they go, but as their 10th anniversary looms, it becomes increasingly apparent that their paths are diverging.
Despite their newfound external allure, the insecurities of their former selves still linger within. Nate, now a modern renaissance man juggling a myriad of careers—from podcasting and photography to writing, DJing, and stand-up comedy—struggles to reconcile his past with his present. On the other hand, Cynthia, living comfortably off her wealthy parents’ support, finds herself in a state of career limbo as a former substitute teacher.
Everything takes a turn when Nate makes a chance discovery online and rekindles a connection from his past. This new relationship sets off a series of unforeseen events, from the sudden loss of their beloved pet to an unexpected confrontation with their own demons. Secrets, lies, and confessions intertwined, pushing their marriage to the brink. As past wounds are laid bare, Nate and Cynthia must confront their own vulnerabilities and redefine the boundaries of their love.
“Redeye” is an emotionally charged novel that perfectly blends romance and drama. Join Nate and Cynthia as they navigate the road to self-acceptance, chance encounters, and discover love is anything but predictable.

Featured Reviews

Redeye is a rollercoaster of love, loss, and second chances. Nate and Cynthia’s journey—both emotional and physical—is raw and relatable, especially as they confront their insecurities, evolving identities, and the ghosts of their past. What I liked most was how real their relationship felt—imperfect, messy, but still rooted in something worth fighting for. It made me think about how people change over time and how love sometimes has to stretch to survive.

Let me just say—Redeye had me clutching my imaginary pearls, y’all! 💅 From a couple glow-up to glow-apart, Nate and Cynthia’s drama was DELICIOUS. I was flipping pages like I was in a rom-dram bootcamp: secrets, sass, surprises—and a pet plot twist that almost made me cry into my coffee. If you've ever loved someone and lowkey wanted to throttle them, this book gets you. 🔥💔📱

Hot Bodies, Hidden Baggage, and a Redeye Full of Regrets
Redeye takes relationship drama to cruising altitude with sexy glow-ups, emotional turbulence, and a layover in heartbreak hotel—I couldn’t put it down, even when things got messy (and oh honey, they got messy).
