"He said something about a creature about six feet tall and ten or twelve feet long, with a long tail and sharp teeth. He talks about it being faster than any animal he's ever seen. He claims it was covered in scales. The poor old man is going insane." I looked at the tunnel warily. Something felt off. I couldn't tell if it was the cobwebs that were everywhere and my arachnophobia was kicking in, or... The birds weren't chirping. I took it all in in half a second. Crunch. Kolin is just an ordinary kid when he stumbles upon the discovery of a lifetime in his neighborhood. He finds a creature that was thought to have gone extinct millions of years ago, and the discovery puts his family and friends in danger. Kolin doesn't know it then, but his discovery could change the course of mankind for better... or for worse. I will also be publishing this on Royal Road.

They say you remember the loudest moment in silence. Hers struck on a shining day: the bright scream of her bike, then the dull, wet slap of her body against asphalt, and the look in his eyes when he realized he'd hit her. Roman Kings. Hockey captain. Winchester College royalty. Senator's son. The boy every girl wanted, except her. (Or so she swore, kind of, in that stubborn, sideways way.) Kramer Kherson, nineteen. Fresh out of high school,already bone-tired from slinging plates at the restaurant, trying to keep the lights on and her mother breathing after her father's long, painful death. She hated him so much after the crash. Hated the apologies that kept coming,the way he kept showing up, flashing that stupid, smile that made him look unfairly, plainly attractive. Fuck. Why did she even care? She told herself, over and over, she didn't. They crashed into each other every damn time, him always stepping into her path, always pissing her off. She called it rivalry. Normal. Safe. Until the night everything flipped. After the break-up with her boyfriend, a night she never saw coming, one wrong step, one stare that burned too long, and suddenly she wasn't fighting him anymore. She was fighting herself. Because every single thing she swore she hated about him? There was no problem with it. Not one. And she couldn't lie to herself anymore.She wanted him. And the worst part, the cruelest, hottest part, he wanted her too. But in love there's always a risk. And damn it, it's always worth it.

Twenty-two year old Ava Kaiser, the daughter of a washed up, wannabe rock star, is sick to the back teeth with her dad's rock 'n' roll all night, party everyday way of life. She needs real excitement in her life, not college parties with her parents. She's always wanted stability, and protection. And then she meets him. Officer Erich Auer. A German-American policeman, who sets off all the right sparks inside her. Ava is smitten. Erich is everything her dad isn't: Grounded, macho, serious. An alpha male. But her dad, Lonnie, hates nothing more than authority. The police give him speeding tickets, interrupt his happening parties, and give him warnings. Now there's one hot for his only daughter! Lonnie just wants what's best for Ava, and his lifestyle, and that's not law enforcement. Lonnie will fight the law, but... the law has weapons, and he only has guitars. Lonnie knows that Erich will only bring problems into the picture. How can Lonnie smoke pot with a cop in his house? What could his daughter possibly see in him? What if Ava falls head over heels for the officer, and he gets killed on the job? As for Erich, he's used to protocols, rules, and one nightstands. He's a ladies man, but love is a foreign language. He is not scared of love. His job description requires bravery. He was born to protect and serve. And then she came into his life, and taught him that love is the most important protocol. As the two different worlds crash together, one of order, the other of chaos, Erich and Ava realize they're not only falling together, they're taking down her entire family along with them, and they don't even care. With crime running amok in the streets, rockers partying like it's 1999, family drama raging like a storm, can Ava and Officer Erich's forbidden romance blossom into something truly beautiful and unbreakable? Or will Lonnie finally beat the system, and break the lovebirds apart forever?

When Tori Darling goes to her first every gynecology appointment her doctor, Dr. Orin Steele turns out to be a man who looks eerily identical to Jesse Lyte, her best friend who died a year ago. But for some reason she is the only one who can see the resemblance -in fact her best friend says he looks nothing like Jesse which makes Tori wonder if she has gone crazy or if she is really seeing him. But if she is, why just her? And above all that, is Dr. Orin really just someone who looks like her late best friend...or by some miracle has Jesse has returned to her? And if he has...why here, why now, and why as Orin vs as himself? Please note I always do my research but as I am not a doctor, the medical part will likely have inaccuracies but this is fiction so....lol. Content Warning: I am still new to this so I don't know what I need to write a warning for but to be safe here are all of them. This story will include medical content to include description of medical procedures specifically gynecology but not in any sexual manner, health symptoms. STDs, and a serious diagnosis for the main character. There will also be mention of sex, cheating with potentially multiple partners on the main character, acts of violence, and death. There will also be mention of religious entities including God and Angels. If any of the things listed are things that you are interested in avoiding completely, I would recommend not reading this work. Recommended for mature readers aged 18+ only.

Added to memory Manage Nine years after a bitter divorce, Lune and Sean exist as shadows of who they once were-two souls bound by a love that time could not erase, yet too wounded to rekindle. Lune has rebuilt her life under the unyielding expectations of her family, who arranged her marriage to James Wells-a childhood friend known for his quiet loyalty and steadfast heart. It was a union born not of love, but of duty and the hope that stability might heal what heartbreak had destroyed. James, a man of calm strength and quiet devotion, embraced the family he was given with sincerity. Though he knew Lune's heart belonged elsewhere, he cared deeply for her and for Natalia, the daughter she shared with Sean. He became the steady presence in their lives-the protector, the provider, the man who loved without asking for love in return. Sean, meanwhile, drifts through life as a ghost of himself-a man stripped of purpose, clinging to freelance work and the fading remnants of a love he no longer believes in. For him, love is a scar that never healed-a cruel reminder of betrayal and loss. For Lune, it is a haunting melody she cannot silence, a yearning for the man who once made her believe in forever. When fate forces their paths to cross again, buried emotions ignite like wildfire-resentment, guilt, and the faint, dangerous spark of what once was. Lune longs to rebuild what was shattered, to give their daughter the family she deserves. But Sean's heart is barricaded behind years of bitterness, convinced that love is nothing but a beautiful lie. Fragments of Yesterday is a poignant tale of lost love and second chances-a story of two hearts learning to forgive, to heal, and to rediscover the fragile beauty of hope. It asks the timeless question: can love, once broken, ever truly be reborn?

But her dreams echo,her hesitation costs him his life. Or so she believes. Two weeks later, while working at her family's restaurant with her mother, Maria and step sibling,Gwen,she is stunned to see Collins walk in-alive, smiling, and seemingly content. He's married now, with a wife , living the life of a man untouched by tragedy. Yet the dreams return, more vivid and disturbing than ever, replaying the same scenes of danger and death. Each dream feels like a warning. Unable to ignore the visions, Maria seeks to reconnect with Collins, convinced that his life is still in peril. Her obsession strains her relationship with her boyfriend, Morgan, whose patience wears thin as Maria's fixation deepens. The more she tries to protect Collins, the more her own world unravels-her love life collapses, her sanity frays, and her grip on reality weakens. But Collins's life only seems to flourish. His marriage grows stronger, his happiness more radiant. The contrast torments Maria, until she begins to suspect that the danger she senses is not physical but spiritual-something tied to the woman he loves. As her psychological struggles intensify, Maria must confront a terrifying question: are her visions a cry from fate, or the delusions of a mind unraveling? When truth and illusion blur, Maria faces an impossible choice-save the man who may not need saving, or lose herself completely to the echoes of a dream that refuses to die.
