Julien Laurent's life was built on goodbyes. From city to city, country to country, his only constant was his mother, Camille - until the day Rome stole her from him forever. Grieving and lost, Julien discovers a letter hidden among her things... a letter that unravels everything he thought he knew. A twin brother. A father across the ocean. A family that was never whole. When the truth pulls him from the streets of Paris to the quiet fields of Nebraska, Julien must face the man who never raised him - and the brother who grew up in the life he was denied. Two boys. Two halves of the same story. And one question that could change everything: Can love grow from the pieces left behind?

Two heartbeats changed her life. One gave her a child. The other gave her a forbidden love. ​At twenty-four, Emma Collins thought her future was perfectly mapped out. Pregnant and ready to start a family with her boyfriend, Liam, she believed she had everything under control. But the looming reality of parenthood only exposes the deep fractures in their relationship. When Emma catches Liam cheating, she uncovers a bitter truth: he is a coward, too weak to admit he isn't ready to be a father, yet too afraid to leave first. Left alone, vulnerable, and terrified of the unknown, Emma's world completely shatters. ​Dr. Alexandra Vogel is everything Emma is not. At thirty-five, she is a brilliant, clinical, and fiercely professional OB/GYN whose life is governed by strict rules and medical protocols. Alex has spent years building high walls to protect the career she sacrificed everything for. To her, patients are responsibilities-never personal connections. ​But when Emma walks into her clinic heartbroken and utterly undone, Alex's carefully constructed defenses begin to fail. A single, small deviation from protocol to comfort a crying patient sparks a deep, undeniable connection that neither of them saw coming. ​While Emma finds a desperately needed anchor in Alex, Alex finds herself fighting the battle of her life. She must resist the growing intimacy with everything she has, because crossing that line doesn't just break the rules-it threatens to destroy her medical license and everything she's ever built. ​In the tense, emotionally charged space between white coats and ultrasound monitors, the harder Alex tries to push away, the louder their hearts beat.

Naele was never meant to survive. Ever since she was young, she has ignored the will of the gods. Not by choice, but because no priest can decipher the life path marked on her skin. Yet they all agree on one thing: ignoring it means certain death. Naele isn't planning on dying anytime soon, though. She's far too busy for that. Running a medicine shop in a bustling town is hard work. But when death marks start appearing on the skin of the villagers, it becomes clear fate is catching up with her. 🗡️𝗔 𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗳𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘀𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀, 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘆 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘀. 🗓️ 𝗔 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗽𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗧𝗵𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆.

When Dalia, devastated by her father's death, is left all alone, her long-lost brother Adan returns to be her legal guardian, but... he's turned into a vampire. A secret that worsens their already strained relationship, to the point where their animosity puts their lives in danger. Having no other choice than to leave his sister and return to Castellum Academy, Adan asks his best friend to look after her until he finds a new guardian. But to Dalia's misfortune, Janik is also a vampire, and not just any vampire. He is one of the academy's founders, a leading advocate for progressive vampire laws in the region, and consequently, a prime target of the opposing movement known as "The Resistance." Living with him will change everything Dalia thought she knew about vampires, about the world, and... everything she thought she knew about love. A dark event puts an end to their relationship before it can truly begin. Years later, Dalia and Janik meet again, caught in the middle of an underground battle. *** Note from the author: My dearest English speaking reader, hi!

What if the meet-cutes you write started coming true in real life? Harper Lin's debut novel made her the next big thing in romance. That was two years ago. Now she's surviving on delivery apps and denial, holed up in her apartment, writing absolutely nothing. When her agent begs her to write something (their careers depend on it!), Harper does the only thing she can think of: she writes the most clichéd meet-cute in existence, steps outside to get coffee, and gets hit by a car. She wakes up to find the scene she wrote has come to life. Literally. What follows is a series of increasingly unhinged meet-cutes manifesting in Harper's real life, a mysterious new neighbor who owns her book, a best friend who thinks the spreadsheet is a cry for help, a neighbor down the hall who has very strong opinions about smut, and the slow dawning realization that the magic isn't giving her what she asked for. It's giving her what she actually wants. Which would be nice. If she knew what that was. [Standalone] Contemporary Romance | Romantic Comedy | Magical Realism

Friends, Fumbles & Falling in Love Ethan Maxwell never put much stock in matchmaking-or Christmas miracles-but his best friend, Olivia Hart, thrives on both. Determined to find him the perfect partner before Christmas Eve, Olivia devises a plan: twelve dates, each with a woman who seems ideal on paper. But as mishaps, near-misses, and unexpected moments pile up, Ethan begins to realize that perfection was never what he was looking for. Meanwhile, Olivia starts to question if her determination to find him love was less about him and more about her own heart. As Christmas approaches, they'll have to decide if risking their friendship is worth the chance at forever.
