Mara MacRae knows the difference between right and wrong, she just can't afford to care. She works in a bookshop cafe in Glasgow's bustling West End, lives with an ex she can't afford to leave, and spends her nights writing essays for students who get to live the life she lost. Every assignment pays for her brother's care and every lie buys him a little more independence, but every draft pushes Mara further from the person she once wanted to become. Callan Reid has spent his life believing in words - honest ones, earned ones, the kind that reveal who a person really is. When his students' essays begin to feel too polished, too familiar, too filled with someone else's voice, he becomes determined to find out why. He should be dangerous to Mara. Instead, he becomes the first person in years to make her feel like there's more than the life she's had to survive. But Mara's world is built on choices she can't explain, and Callan's is built on truths he refuses to ignore. Some stories refuse to stay in draft. And some secrets don't just ruin futures. They rewrite them.

Not the boy who saved her from a playground meltdown. Not the best friend who became her first kiss... her first love... her everything. But when he moved across the world, he left her with nothing but a broken promise and a gold star necklace she still wears like a scar. She swore she'd wait. He swore they'd find each other again. But two weeks after he came back, he was holding another girl's hand. Now it's war. And Lisa's done playing soft. Noah thought leaving Lisa behind would protect them both. He didn't expect to fall apart without her. Neither did he expect to learn the truth-something so brutal it made him question every moment they'd ever shared and see her as a stranger in the skin of the girl he once loved. And he definitely didn't expect to fall into someone else's arms trying to forget the taste of her lips. But Lisa's not the shy girl he left behind. She's colder now. Hotter, too. And every time he looks at her like he hates her, he wants to grab her and make her remember everything. This isn't just a breakup. It's unfinished business. First love never dies. But it might just destroy them both. π“π‘πˆπ†π†π„π‘/π‚πŽππ“π„ππ“ ππŽπ“πˆπ‚π„ : β₯ mature/sexual themes β₯ alcohol references β₯ language β₯ mild violence β₯ SLOWBURN! word count- 130,000 started- July 07 2023, Finished- May 2025 Copyright all rights reserved

Sara Luzio has always known that it is her duty to safeguard humanity from the creatures that lurk in the shadows. But when her clan perishes in the line of duty, Sara is forced to continue their legacy alone. On top of navigating her grief and trauma, Sara realizes her supposed safehouse isn't so safe. Vampires live down the street. Yet, unlike their blood-crazed kin, they exhibit a curious sense of... humanity. Despite her instincts screaming for her to be wary, Sara is drawn to them. In particular, a copper-haired vampire with a half-cocked smile. The longer she researches the coven, the more she finds herself questioning everything she thought she knew about vampires. Sara must decide whether to follow her heart or her hunter's instincts. Her journey will challenge her preconceptions, ignite forbidden passions, and force her to consider what it truly means to be human. The story is being worked into an audiobook on Youtube via Text-to-Speech using ElevenLabs. Each chapter will eventually have a link. Or find me on Youtube at FaeSparksOfficial to listen to the book 1 playlist. Notes: Strong sexual content will begin in book two. Polyamory to be hinted in book one, but come to fruition later in the series (book three). Main themes will revolve around morality, culture, and legacy. *Will try to complete before 2025 Ambys* Cover by Canva.

Because of his agency's greed to shoot more mediocre dramas, Jamie wrote an abrupt post announcing his retirement from the Chinese acting scene. He decided to spend a couple of months touring Europe. Little did he know that four ladies were discussing his next steps in a small Discord fan group, where lives and plans would be changed forever. Note: the first seven chapters will be published weekly, every Saturday around 5 pm GMT. The rest of the chapters will follow, hopefully, on a bi-weekly basis. :) A little disclaimer: This novel is based on one real event only: the actor retiring this year from acting. Anything else is 100% fictional. You can still read and enjoy it since we didn't make references that might impact your reading experience. This work resulted from countless discussions about his tremendous untapped potential as a first-tier actor, dreaming about this role or that role for him while imagining another life, although a highly unlikely one.
