I never knew I liked the color green, until I saw his eyes, glinting as he smiled. His glasses acted like framings of paintings, worth hanging at the Louvre. Ever since I met him, I knew I craved more green in my life, as much as he needed purple in his. He loved the color so much he wanted to be all around it. And, I was there, all around him, as he was, all around me. A slow burning romantic story of friendship, yearning, finding love, and a drizzle of drama. ---- Trigger Warning: Contains darker themes, involving death, abuse, and drugs. Copyright © 2025.

"You know I sleep better when I'm with you," I whispered, my mind groggy as my muscles finally loosened. "I know," Theo said, his breath hot against my neck. His steady breathing and tight hold were already lulling me to sleep. And I wasn't sure if I dreamed his last words, but it sounded like he whispered, "I sleep better with you, too." . . . . This is a mature story, and as such, there is swearing, shagging, minor drug use, violence, angst, and explicit adult situations (all characters will be over 18).

She writes love stories. But she wasn't expecting to live in one. 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
