Forged. A Novel (en Inglés) - Fixel Smith

Marcus Cole wasn't running from anything. He was running toward whatever came next.

A business card handed over at a bar. A job he never planned on. A woman he never saw coming.

When Marcus landed in the Nebraska corrections system, it wasn't part of some grand plan - it was just the next door that opened. But what he found on the other side would reshape everything: who he was, who he wanted to be, and what it meant to build a life worth living.

Forged is the story of a man in motion - chasing opportunity, stumbling into love, and discovering that sometimes the best things in life aren't the ones you go looking for.

They're the ones that find you when you're finally ready.
