"Relax," I murmured softly. My voice dropped without me even thinking about it, lower now, closer. "Is this okay?" Charlotte hesitated. I felt it in the way her shoulders shifted beneath the tension, the tiny pause before she answered. Her fingers tightened once more around the armrests. Then loosened slightly. "...Yes." The word came out quieter than before. Careful. Neither of us spoke. Then, after holding there for just a second too long, I leaned forward. Slowly-so slowly it almost felt deliberate enough to give her time to stop me, if she wanted to. The distance between us shrank inch by careful inch, my gaze flickering briefly to her lips before lifting again to her body posture, searching for any sign that I should pull back. But I didn't. And when the last trace of space between us finally disappeared, I kissed her. --- Audrey DuPont is used to the party life, smoking and drinking until the sun comes up, and throwing money without a second thought.

Lingling Kwong and Orm Kornnaphat are rivals. They've spent years trying to beat each other, outscore each other, and prove who the better striker is. The problem is, the closer the rivalry gets... the harder it becomes to pretend it's only about soccer.

(Sequel to When Mary Met Halley) A year has passed since Mary and Halley fell in love over the hospital bed of the guy who was cheating on both of them, and they couldn't be happier. Together they feel able to conquer the world, with the help of their friends, a ragtag bunch of children and teens, and a crow with a crazy cat. Life is good and Mary wishes she could freeze time. But things can't always be perfect, and mental health is a tricky thing. Even during the rough times, though, Mary knows who will always be by her side.

Orm(GIP) ​Orm Kornnaphat is a woman who has everything: a Political Science degree she doesn't use, a professional gaming career that pays for her luxury Bangkok condo, and parents who treat her like the center of the universe. At 23, she's tall, cocky, and possesses a "wolf-cut" attitude that matches her hair-predatory, charming, and unapologetically perverted when she spots someone she likes. ​Enter Ling Kwong. At 30, Ling is the definition of composure. A brilliant accountant with a single, distracting beauty mark on her cheek, she views life through spreadsheets and tradition. While her parents in Khon Kaen nag her to marry, Ling remains a fortress of solitude-until a birthday dinner for her mentor changes everything. ​When the introverted accountant meets the extroverted gamer, the result is pure chaos. Orm doesn't just want to win the game; she wants to win the woman who thinks love is a distraction. Between Orm's shameless flirting and Ling's crumbling defenses, the professional boundaries of the bank are about to be completely liquidated.

​In the opulent world of the Sethratanapong dynasty, where power, wealth, and ancient family ties intertwine, a love story as forbidden as it is inevitable blossoms. Ling Kwong, daughter of the Sethratanapong's most loyal and beloved maid, Lisha, has been an honorary member of the illustrious family since birth. Raised alongside Orm Kornnaphat Sethratanapong, the charismatic and fiercely independent heiress, Ling has always been her confidante, her protector, and her closest friend. Their bond, forged in childhood innocence, deepened with every shared secret and knowing glance. ​As Orm, a magnetic "girls' magnet" with a penchant for playful rebellion, navigates her early crushes, Ling, seven years her senior, watches with a knowing smile, always assuming Orm's affections lie elsewhere. But beneath Orm's charming facade lies a secret adoration for the stunning, graceful Ling, an affection that has grown from a youthful crush into a profound, undeniable love. Ling, now a rising star in the modeling and acting world under the shrewd guidance of Orm's mother, Koy, finds her own heart inexplicably drawn to Orm, a truth she fiercely tries to suppress, fearing it will shatter the only family and home she's ever truly known. ​Now, with Orm, a brilliant economics graduate, stepping into her role at her Baba Oct's vast business empire, and Ling thriving in the spotlight, the delicate balance of their lives threatens to unravel. As Orm's quiet devotion intensifies and Ling's carefully constructed emotional walls begin to crumble with every pang of jealousy, they are forced to confront the complicated, angsty truth of their feelings. Can their love, born in the shadows of expectation and family loyalty, defy the unspoken rules that bind them? Or will the fear of losing everything keep them forever circling, yearning for a connection that feels both impossibly close and tragically out of reach?

Love is beautiful until it isn't. Love is honest until it hides. For Orm, love had a name - Professor Lingling Kwong. Married. Brilliant. Forbidden. Years later, they meet again, and the one thing they buried is the only thing still alive between them.

After a painful betrayal shatters her engagement, twenty-five-year-old Amina Grimaldi leaves behind the sunlit streets of Italy for a quiet new life in London. All she wants is to teach, to start over, and to forget. But when she steps into her classroom at Rosehill Academy for Girls, she meets seven-year-old June Wilson-a bright, thoughtful child who slowly begins to open a locked part of Amina's heart. And then there's June's mother. Elizabeth Wilson is everything Amina isn't: older, commanding, impeccably composed. A powerful CEO with little time for distractions-or emotions. But when a chance encounter at a bookshop leads to coffee, the lines between parent and teacher begin to blur. As parent-teacher conferences draw near and stolen glances give way to deeper truths, Amina and Elizabeth find themselves drawn into a quiet tension neither expected. What begins with shared silences and subtle shifts becomes a story of trust, healing, and the kind of love that arrives softly... but changes everything. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• -WLW -Age Gap -Smut

It was supposed to be anonymous. Just some harmless, late-night messeges on a forum. No names. No photos. No real-life complications. She was GoldTrap-mysterious, sharp, and way too good with words. I was BlueInk-awkward, sarcastic, and definitely not looking for anything. But then she made me laugh. Then she made me think. Then... she made me feel things I really shouldn't be feeling for someone I've never met. I'm Quinn. Twenty-four. Screenwriter-in-training. Emotionally a little chaotic and basically there no reason an amazing woman like her would be falling for someone like me. I've played a lot of roles in my life. But never this one. ----------------------------------------------- Late at night, I started writing letters to a stranger on a private forum-just to feel something real. She calls herself BlueInk. She's young, clever, infuriatingly honest... and somehow, she sees right through me. She doesn't know I'm Juliette Delaney-Hollywood's favorite ice queen with a face on every magazine and a life that doesn't belong to me anymore. She doesn't know that when I type, my hands shake. That when I read her replies, I smile. That I'm craving her words more than I've ever craved the spotlight. And I don't know what will happen if she finds out who I am. Because if I tell her the truth, I might lose the one person who loves me for who I really am. Not the icon. Not the actress. Just... me. But if I don't? I'll never get to feel her say my name out loud.
