#Book2 of "The Heart Series" He was a red flag. A warning she should've heeded. A storm she should've run from. Kamil doesn't do love. He doesn't do attachments. He takes what he wants, leaves when he's done, and never looks back. A cocky smirk, a wicked mouth, and a reputation that keeps women lining up for a night they'll never forget-but never anything more. Then there's Mansi. Untouchable. Fiery. The one woman who doesn't fall for his charm. She meets his arrogance with sharp words, his flirtation with cold indifference. She sees him for what he is-a mistake waiting to happen. And she refuses to be one. But Kamil has never been one to back down from a challenge. He wants her-more than he's ever wanted anything. And when fate forces them together, the rules start to change. For the first time, he chases. He begs. He stays. And Mansi? She was right about him. He was dangerous. But not for the reasons she thought. Because the real danger isn't Kamil breaking her heart. It's that she might just ruin him first.

[2025 Wattys Shortlist] After getting cut off by her wealthy, business-obsessed parents, Emily Grayson finds herself broke, stranded in a small town, and working at a boba café, something she never imagined in her wildest dreams. Her first days on the job are a disaster, her patience (and Jake Sherlind's) running thinner than the tapioca pearls she keeps burning. Jake, the charming yet hardworking guy with big dreams, has no patience for entitled rich girls who don't know how to hold a job. But when Emily starts proving him wrong, their tension brews into something neither of them expected. Between spilled drinks, late-night confessions, and an orange stray cat that won't leave the back door, Emily begins to wonder... maybe losing everything was exactly what she needed to find herself. A small-town rom-com about growth, second chances, and love that's better steeped with time.

Branded a fallen purist with a broken demize clock and a past buried in flames, she must now survive brutal retraining, political land wars, and the spiritual elite's suspicions. But as the boundary between the living and the possessed begins to blur, so does the line between truth and manipulation. Allies are scarce. Her enemies know her better than she knows herself. And then there's Xanthe Linea Morais, part heir, part executioner, whose interest in her may be a game of power... or something far more dangerous. Haunted by her choices and hunted from both sides, Frankie faces an impossible question: Can the girl who was born to uphold the sacred survive becoming the symbol of its unraveling? One wrong move, and purity won't just be lost, it'll be redefined.

Hi, my name is Melissa. I've never considered myself a strong person, but I didn't realize that at the time. I always struggled to keep a job, never really understanding why happiness seemed so elusive. I thought I was content, unaware that I was, in fact, struggling. I know what you might be thinking, but please, keep reading. Something happened to me during my first year of working at 16 that changed my life forever. It hurt me in ways I couldn't fully comprehend, and while that pain has lessened over time, it shaped the person I've become-someone stronger than I ever imagined I could be. What I thought would destroy me instead pushed me to move to another country, a place where I barely knew the language. At just 24 years old, despite my parents' concerns and their insistence that I shouldn't go alone, I embarked on this journey by myself. Up until then, I had often hidden behind my parents, relying on them to face the world for me. But the events of my past forced me to confront life head-on. I didn't realize it at the time, but I was hiding from the world, keeping my head down, and avoiding the challenges that came my way. But now, I'm ready to share my story, lift my head, and face the world with courage. It's been a journey full of unexpected twists, and I promise you-it's going to get interesting.
