Book Two just went live, and I’m genuinely excited to share it with you.

It’s a story of tension, softness, and the subtle transformations that change everything.

Vivian sat alone at the small kitchen table, the late‑afternoon light streaming through the window. The burger in her hands was heavy, warm, unapologetic. The kind of thing she used to avoid without even thinking. Now she lifted it with both hands and took a slow, deliberate bite, letting the richness settle into her.

Two weeks… Two weeks of leaning into eating in a way she never had before.

The plate of fries in front of her was still steaming, the chocolate shake crowned with a swirl of whipped cream that made her smile. She may have ordered it out of rebellion. She might be trying to prove something. But she was eating it mostly, because she wanted to. Because it felt good.

She could feel the changes in her body now. How the new weight had settled. How her clothes fit differently.

Vivian took another bite, slower this time, letting the flavors bloom. She already felt full. This was a fullness that felt earned, chosen, welcomed.

NEW BOOK REVEAL — The Weight of Fame: Breaking the Silence (Book 1)

by Max Freeman Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GX32LF5N

Vivian Vance spent years hiding from the world — from the spotlight, from the expectations that once shaped her, and from the version of herself she no longer recognized. Breaking the Silence is the story of what happens when she finally stops running.

This is the beginning of her journey back into the light: quieter, heavier, more grounded, and more honest than she has ever allowed herself to be. It’s a story about reclaiming space, telling the truth out loud, and discovering that the life she wants is still waiting for her.

Book One sets the emotional foundation for the entire trilogy — the moment Vivian chooses to stop apologizing for who she has become and starts living on her own terms.

An early moment from the novelette: “The Weight of Our Days – The First Year”. This is the day Marcus realized a boundary had been crossed, and nothing would ever feel quite the same again…

Beth stepped closer than she needed to, close enough that Marcus felt the warmth of her breath before he felt her hand. It landed lightly on his stomach — a touch so casual it almost passed for friendly, except nothing about it felt friendly at all. Her fingers pressed in just a little, testing, as if she were confirming something she’d suspected for a while.

“You’ve changed,” she murmured, her voice low enough that Marcus wasn’t sure he’d heard her right. “You’re softer than you used to be.”

He froze. He should have stepped back. He should have said something. But the shock pinned him in place.

Beth’s smile tilted, knowing and far too confident. “If we went into the bedroom,” she said, “you could show me just how much.”

Marcus’s breath caught — not from temptation, but from the sheer audacity of it. The wrongness. The way the room suddenly felt too small, too warm, too dangerous.

He finally found his voice. “Beth… no.”

But she was already stepping back, already pretending nothing had happened, already moving on as if she hadn’t just crossed a line he didn’t even know existed until she was standing on the other side of it.

And Marcus stood there, heart pounding, wondering how he was going to explain any of this to Lyra — or if he ever could.

If you wish to read the entire story, the full book can be found here:

Lyra tugged at the hem of her shirt, trying to smooth it down, but the fabric kept drifting up, catching just above the soft curve of her stomach. It wasn’t dramatic — just a quiet reminder of how the past months had settled into her body in ways she hadn’t fully noticed until now.

Marcus saw her fussing and stepped closer, his voice low and warm. “Hey,” he murmured, brushing his thumb along the edge of the fabric, “it’s okay. It looks good on you.”

She let out a breath she didn’t realize she’d been holding. The shirt still didn’t quite sit the way it used to, but the way he looked at her… it made the moment feel less like something to hide and more like something simply true. Something lived‑in. Something theirs.
