When the famous General Wei returned after more than ten years of victorious campaigns, The Emperor granted him the privilege of choosing a husband for his only daughter, Yuren, from among the eleven princes. However... Selecting a prince was not the issue; the real challenge lay in finding one willing to marry his stubborn, ill-mannered daughter, who behaved more like a warrior ready for battle than a royal bride.

With her thirtieth birthday looming, no romantic prospects, and a dream of motherhood slipping away, she's down to one last, desperate option: a decade-old pact made with her estranged childhood friend, Silas Beckett. The problem? Silas is now a superstar baseball player with a playboy reputation, and their friendship is a distant memory. Still, he agrees to their clinical, business-like plan: have a baby through fertility treatments, co-parent as best friends, and keep their hearts strictly out of the equation. But through sterile waiting rooms and late-night hormone shots, the old intimacy that once defined them rekindles into something deeper and far more dangerous. As the line between platonic and passionate blurs, their carefully constructed plan begins to fail in more ways than one. When they're left with nothing but failed treatments and inconvenient feelings, they have to face the fact that what they really want might not be a baby, but each other. But is a love born from a broken contract enough to build a new dream on?

Carly Atwood always remembered the man that used to live in the loft above the barn when she was a little girl. John was her childhood crush, he was the guy she wrote about in her diary, and when he left her in his army greens, he was the first man she ever cried for. Nine years later, Carly isn't the eleven year-old girl John left behind. She grew up and moved on with her life, taking over the Atwood Ranch following her father's death. John isn't the man he used to be either; physically and emotionally scarred following his last deployment in Afghanistan, John is returning to the only place he ever called home, back to the loft above the barn and to the pretty blonde girl that's been holding onto his dog tags for all these years. ----- Title inspired by the song of the same name by Tim McGraw.

In the heart of Eldoria-where marble towers kiss the clouds and duty weighs heavier than gold-love was never meant to bloom within palace walls. King Arthur of Eldoria ruled with a heart as cold as the northern winds: disciplined, distant, and bound by the weight of his crown. Yet when a marriage of necessity joins him to Lila-a woman of quiet strength and unshakable kindness-something long frozen within him begins to stir. What begins as duty slowly transforms into something far deeper, something neither expected... yet both come to crave. As love takes root amidst stone and snow, warmth returns to the kingdom. Laughter echoes once more through the gilded halls, and the silence of solitude gives way to the tender sounds of family. At the heart of it all stands their son, Prince Alexander-innocent, curious, and radiant with the promise of a gentler future. But even within love's embrace, shadows linger. The throne demands its sacrifices. Secrets long buried resurface. And the weight of the crown tests every vow they have sworn to keep. Together, Arthur and Lila must discover that love is not merely a comfort, but a force-one strong enough to heal, to unite, and to redefine what it means to rule. This is the story of a king who learned to love, a queen who taught him how, and a family that changed the heart of a kingdom.

[Slow Brew Series 2 of 2] [Completed] Bea's dream was always to open a cozy, charming little book cafe. My dream-me, Jules, it's my story now, bitches-was to avoid unnecessary stress, talking about my own feelings, and James Hale. So naturally, the universe decided to shove all three onto my lap. Now I'm thrust into managing Beaumont's Books & Brews-aka Bea's pride and joy (aka the haunted mess of a coffee shop we're scrubbing, gutting, and dragging into existence from the afterlife). Which would be great... if she didn't have to share the title of "co-owner" with a walking migraine in designer loafers. James Hale. My archnemesis. My best friend's boyfriend's brother. Also, somehow, my boss. We made out once. It was a mistake. A moment of weakness. A tragedy for the history books. And now he's here. Every day. Breathing my air, drinking sugary, over-creamed monstrosities he dares to call coffee, and always-always smirking at me. I take my coffee black. No syrup. No foam art. No pulling out emotional baggage mid-espresso. The way coffee should be. Just pure, tasteful pleasure-with a bitter finish. Welcome to Beaumont's. May the odds be ever in my favor.
