When a viral podcast clip convinces millions of strangers that former co-hosts Kennedy Martin and Stella Montgomery were secretly in love, the ex-girlfriends reunite for a comeback episode. ***** Two years ago, Kennedy Martin lost both her girlfriend and her podcast in one fell swoop. Since then, she's avoided thinking about either. Unfortunately, the universe has other plans. When an old clip from Where Were You When goes viral and an article is posted, fans become obsessed all over again with the chemistry between Kennedy and her former co-host, Stella Montgomery. Everyone demands a reunion, including a digital media production company willing to pay for one last episode. Kennedy agrees--but definitely because she misses Stella. Why Stella is on board with it, though, is beyond her. As old memories resurface and late-night planning sessions become harder to avoid and even harder to end, Kennedy realizes that the story she's been telling herself about the demise of the relationship might not be true. While their relationship began with a misunderstanding, it might also have ended because of one. Now, with an impending reunion and rehashed feelings, Kennedy and Stella have one last chance to finally get it right. ***** © 2026 caterina george // all rights reserved

Too many suitcases. Too many moves. I've lost count. I'm Emma. Certified expert in questionable romantic choices. London was supposed to be a fresh start. No more Brussels. No more grey skies. No more wrong men. Then I met him. Nick Gomez. The kind of man you never forget. Not even after a voluntary lobotomy. He ruins women. And bedsheets. Stunning. Charismatic. With a pair of grey eyes that make him the undisputed CEO of the Asshole Club - trademark registered by me, by the way. Oh, and he's the son of a man who would make Lucifer look like a Boy Scout. Nick was never part of the plan. I build communication strategies. I pitch. I tell stories. I craft perfect presentations. But with him? Every strategy goes straight out the window. Escapes and returns, tabloid scandals, a psychopathic father, and truths uncovered one lie at a time. An ironic, sexy romance packed with bad decisions. (And well-deserved orgasms.) © All rights reserved. Any partial or total use of the contents of this book, including reproduction and adaptation, is strictly prohibited.

"Kneel," she growled. Two very odd things happened at once. The smell of peony assaulted the deepest recesses of his brain, while heat coursed through his veins. Simultaneously, his brain fogged over, his knees caving under him so he knelt before her. "I'm going to kill you," her words should have felt as venomous as they were, but instead they were addictive. More addictive than that dragon ale he couldn't stop raising to his lips. And when she told him what to do, something cracked inside and broke into place. A space only she was meant for. ------------------------- All Arietta wanted to do was be free from her past. And as long as the king was alive, she would never be able to move forward. But what will she do when she finds out he's her mate, and if she kills him she dies too?

"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 froze on the spot, her legs refusing to move. He took advantage of her daze, closing the remaining gap and crushing his lips against hers.

Declan Chase is about to start the life of his dreams, with a promising career in plastic surgery and a supermodel-with-two-Harvard-degrees fiancée. All that stands in the way is one last month of med school, and a secret that could ruin everything. Callahan Perrin is a young prodigy with a troubled past. Famous since childhood for her unique art, her gift is also her curse. She's got every reason to be happy. A new exhibit that's getting rave reviews. A starring role in her own wildly popular reality TV show. So what is she doing in Belmont Springs Psychiatric Hospital, days after an overdose that might have been intentional? When Dec is assigned to be Callie's med student, neither one of them wants to be there. She's looking to get out of Belmont as fast as possible. He's counting down the days to graduation and his wedding. So what if they share a slightly warped sense of humor, or get so wrapped up in conversation that hours feel like minutes? Forget chemistry. Romance is off limits. After all, who would be crazy enough to fall in love in a psych ward? **Content / Trigger Warning: this story contains scenes of drug use, including an overdose, as well as suicidal ideation (Chapters 4 and 31).

Flowing silk dresses. Structured suits. Empty, forced vows. Soft, sweet nothings. Whispered caresses. Bittersweet kisses. Blue, blue eyes. This is not a love story. This is ruination. 🥀 Rosaline Beaumont. A name that once graced every tabloid, a face that used to be plastered all over social media. A girl that had all but disappeared. But now, four years after everything had turned to ashes in her grasp, she was back under the ever greedy gaze of the cameras, the watchful eyes of high society thirsting to watch their darling unravel. Standing at a wedding altar not of her choice, Rose was on the precipice of vowing to spend the rest of her life with a man she hardly knew. A deadly gamble. A hopeful new start. But could something new truly blossom, when the clutches of the past were dug so deep? Could she ever truly move on, when she couldn't close her eyes without dreaming of him? And could a marriage really last, when her heart would forever beat for another? 🥀 Completed on July 5, 2025.
