Nina Morrone has always dreamed of becoming an author of romantic comedies. After yet another query rejection hits her inbox, she finds herself wandering the aisles of a local bookstore, all but giving up on her childhood dream. On the edge of breaking, she gives into an intrusive thought of signing a book by her favorite author and runs into trouble when Bennett Jacobs, an old acquaintance of the novelist, spots her. Instead of ratting Nina out to the bookseller, he offers her a fresh, untrained pair of eyes on her manuscript, concluding it's missing all the humor and heart of a good romcom. To rectify this shortcoming, Nina engages in a series of lighthearted adventures with Bennett over the course of a month - not expecting to live out her own happily ever after in the end.

In a world where emotion is outlawed, expression is criminal, and the mind is the most feared weapon of all, one girl refuses to go silent. Ruelle has always been told she feels too much. Too deeply. Too loudly. In a future shaped by the ashes of war and the cold logic of artificial peace, the government has eradicated chaos the only way it knew how-by diagnosing it. Passion is now a pathology. Art is evidence. Expression is a confession. And those who resist are sent to ERA: the Emotional Rehabilitation Asylum, where thoughts are monitored, and minds are broken into compliance. Ruelle has survived here longer than most-not because she's strong, but because she's quiet. She knows the rules. She knows not to cry, not to dream, not to speak unless spoken to. She knows silence is safety. But silence can't hold back what's rising inside her: the memories they tried to erase, the truths they tried to rewrite, and the betrayal that got her locked away in the first place. Her mind has become her last sanctuary-and her last battlefield. Ruelle begins to see that madness might be the last form of freedom-and love, the most dangerous expression of all. In a regime where peace means control and sanity means submission, one thought can start a war. And Ruelle is done thinking quietly. ________________________________________ Perfect for fans of Delirium, Shatter Me, and 1984, Sanity's Crime is a haunting, poetic, and sharp-edged exploration of a girl who dares to feel in a world that punishes feeling. With mind-twisting dystopia, slow-burn rebellion, and prose that cuts like glass, this is not just a story about surviving the system-it's about destroying it from within.

Marriage was never part of the plan until a hospital room, a fading pulse, and the one man he could never disappoint whispered a final wish. Neither expected warmth. Neither expected understanding. And they definitely didn't expect comfort in each's other's silence. A tale of quiet yearning- an arranged marriage where silence becomes a language and love sneaks in when no one's looking. - M 💌

✅ Complete ✅ When Campbell Kramer accepted a job offer in Manhattan, she never could've imagined what the city had in store for her. Namely, two handsome men who live on either side of her new apartment. One is older, one is younger. One is introverted, one is extroverted. One is serious, one is playful. Both of them want her attention. What could go wrong? ☲☲☲☲☲ ☆Brooks☆ My neighbor was the one to close the distance between us. She did it quickly--like she was scared the moment would vanish forever if she let another millisecond go by--and I rested my hand on the side of her face to steady her. Something about my touch must have given her courage. ♡Campbell♡ The men finally greeted each other while I snipped the green, woody stems and plopped them into the tallest mug I owned. Their sentences were short and awkward, and as I rearranged the blooms for the umpteenth time, the realization that they'd told each other what happened hit me like a south-bound train. I don't know why I didn't expect that. They were best friends, after all. I was just the girl next door. They had no loyalty to me, no reason to keep our time together a secret. ☆Luca☆ Her lips met mine slowly, softly, hesitantly--like she wasn't so sure kissing her neighbor was the best idea--and I responded just as delicately. But when her hand made its way into the back of my hair, our bodies melded together like a lust-struck alloy. And the only hope of separating us was to add more heat. ☲☲☲☲☲ Featured by: 📙 @Wattpad • Poolside Problems ☀️ (July 2026) • Love Triangles 💘😈 (July 2025) • Spicy Summer Reads (July 2024) • Endless Reading Mode 🧡 (Jan 2024) • Summer in the City 🥵 (June 2023) 📕 @Romance • Love Triangle (April 2025) • New Adult (June 2024) 📘 @Ambassadors • Hot Encounters (Dec 2024) 📗 @ChickLit • Rom-Com (Oct 2025) • Ambassador's Picks (Jul 2025) Awards: 🥈 Romance runner-up (The Prime Award
