She did not come to Seoul to fall apart. Drea Sinclair crossed an ocean for a contract, not for complications. At 28, she had built something real out of discipline and refusal, the kind of woman who moved through rooms without needing to be seen. She had her work, her boundaries, and a permanent exit strategy for anything that threatened either of them. She was not looking for anything. Especially not him. Jae Min Kang was not supposed to be a problem. He was 31, respected, steady, and already spoken for. He had a life that looked exactly like what a life should look like, from the outside, where all the lights were still on, and nothing had cracked. What no one could see from the outside was the silence that had moved in somewhere between year one and year two. Not the kind of silence that heals. The kind that stays. One night changed everything. Not because it was planned. Not because it was right. Because both of them were tired in the same direction at the same time, and something gave way before either of them thought to stop it. The morning after, neither of them forgave the other. And then came the news that forgiveness was the least of their problems. Now there is a life neither of them prepared for, a relationship being quietly buried, and two people learning that the hardest thing about honesty is not saying the truth. It is living inside it afterward, in the same city, in the same rooms, reaching for something that does not yet have a name. Still Water is a mature interracial romance about accountability, emotional wreckage, and what gets built in the quiet after everything falls. ©️ _RelleLebby_//R.L.

Riley, a young omega trying to free himself from an abusive family, joins the military to fight criminal alphas who are enslaving his kind, but he finds much more than just his freedom: his new family. *** Riley Steele, a skilled omega soldier, is ready to do whatever it takes to get accepted into Special Operations Unit set to fight domestic terrorists: alphas who are trying to bring back times when omegas were considered broodmares and slaves. This unit hasn't accepted omegas in years, and the people standing in his way are not shy to take advantage of his determination. What choice does he have? He's safe from his abusive family if he stays in the army, but the infantry is infested with alphas who see him as nothing but a toy, so he must grow stronger to protect himself. The path forward brings him more abuse by alphas who hate to see a strong, skilled omega in the army, but it's too late to turn back now after everything he's already endured to get there. His wish finally comes true, and is allowed to join the unit with a promise his life will be hell, and the people he should be afraid of are not the terrorists... No... It's his allies he can't trust. Pushed to his breaking point, Riley joins Tactical Team 07, a team of ten alphas, fearing he's made the biggest mistake of his life. But perhaps these alphas are different. Perhaps his new captain is as kind and caring as he seems. Perhaps his new partner doesn't actually hate his guts like he pretends. And perhaps he has found his new family, his brothers, and with them, he might even learn he no longer wants to fight just to protect himself, but to protect his country and the freedom of all omegas.
