Trilogy: To Love and to Be Loved

Three Short Stories of Passion, Pain, and the Pursuit of Love

Love can inspire, heal, and transform-but it can also wound, betray, and leave scars that never fade.

In Trilogy: To Love and to Be Loved, author Becca Quilley weaves together three powerful short stories that explore the complicated choices young women face when love collides with family, faith, and the harsh realities of life.

Blood-Stained Clergy Robes - Betty falls for a minister whose secrets threaten to destroy her future. Their forbidden relationship pulls her into a world of hidden truths, heartbreak, and an impossible choice.
To Love - Gemma's innocent crush on her English teacher follows her into adulthood, where unfulfilled desires, broken vows, and the lure of forbidden love test her strength and self-worth.

To Be Loved - A vacation turns into a nightmare when one sister is assaulted. Years later, she must face her trauma, wrestle with forgiveness, and decide whether love with her attacker is even possible.

These stories-raw, heartbreaking, and unflinchingly honest-shine a light on the hidden struggles so many young women carry in silence. With characters torn between hope and despair, loyalty and desire, faith and temptation, Trilogy asks one haunting question:

What are we willing to risk in the name of love-and what does it truly mean to be loved?
