Heartbreak doesn't hit like a truck. It hits like a text from your ex in the middle of Moroccan dinner, like a stare from across Chemistry class, like a memory you can't delete. This is the story of a girl who didn't need to be saved - because she was the storm. Sharp, emotional, and sarcastic - a teen monologue-turned-manifesto.

Welcome to the Veil or rather-my condolences. A slow-burn fantasy with a hint of romance, a pinch of action and mystery and a generous sprinkle of dark humour. Here you'll find mean angels, polite demons and grim reapers escorting souls (saints, sinners and mostly, comely ones) while juggling afterlife paperwork. Meet Clark Parker, ex-saint turned scourge of hell turned reaper, in search of her proverbial 'soulmate' while she fights rogue souls and deals with death and bureaucracy. *** Synopsis: For 500 years, she has been condemned to suffer. Clark Parker is reincarnated thirteen times, only to live a cruel life. In her final life, she dies a Saint, and the Veil offers her release: a chance at peace, at bliss-rebirth without sorrow. She refuses. Clark doesn't want to come back. She wants answers. But the truth she seeks lies deep within the Old Archives, a place forbidden to all but reapers. And she isn't one-not yet. To become an envoy of death, she must destroy what remains of her grace and taint her soul. And there is only one place to break a Saint: Hell. There, among the ruined and the wretched, she will rise. Through torment. Through the ranks of demons, and ascend as a reaper. But the closer she comes to the truth, the colder the world becomes. Because some secrets are chained for a reason. And some names should stay in the dark. [updates every weekend]

At thirteen, Isla and Rowan made a promise beneath a summer sky: If we're not married by thirty, we'll marry each other. It was just a joke. A pinky-swear. A scribble in a shared notebook. Fourteen years later, Isla returns to their lakeside hometown for the first time in years-grieving, lost, and more unsure of herself than ever. When she and Rowan reunite to pack up his late mother's house, they stumble across that forgotten pact buried in a dusty attic box. Now in their late twenties and feeling behind in a world that keeps racing ahead, the two spend the summer checking off unfinished memories from their childhood bucket list-and slowly rediscovering a version of themselves they thought they'd lost. But time changes people. And maybe, some pacts aren't meant to last. A wistful, slow-burn love story about friendship, grief, growing up, and finding your way back-to each other, and to yourself.

Damian Montague a powerful CEO who thrives on control, his world dominated by business and his own rigid rules. He doesn't understand sports and certainly doesn't care about the cheerleaders who bring energy to the games. That is, until he meets Kylie Castellan-a fiery 20-year-old Dallas Cowboys cheerleader and finance college student whose undeniable charisma turns his world upside down. There's one thing Damian can't seem to shake: he wants her. Not just for her beauty or her vibrant energy, but because he craves control over her-a desire to make her dance only for him, to claim her and her attention in a way no one else can. She belongs on the field, dazzling a crowd, but all he can think about is taking her out of that spotlight and making her his. His to command. His to protect. His to break and rebuild, until the only thing she lives for is him.

"Afraid of me? Why are you so afraid, princess?" He placed his hand on the wall next to her head, effectively trapping her between his body and the cold stone. "I'm not afraid of you," she lied, her voice steady despite the tremble in her hands. "I'm not afraid of anything." He chuckled darkly. "You should be." His lips barely brushed against hers in a tantalizingly soft touch. She was frozen in the spot, her mind a chaos of escape thoughts, but her body refusing to carry her away. It was like he took advantage of her daze, closing the remaining gap and crushing his lips against hers. _________________ In a corrupted world full of superficial and greedy people, in a world driven by lust and desire, Regan's thoughts and actions are alien to most. She feels like an outsider amidst a blur of faces that mirror the very disdain she holds for society. But she's not naive. And what will happen when she's thrust into the heart of the very system she despises, into the claws of a terrifying, demonic beast who happens to not want just her body, but her soul?
