Elena Mitchell never expected her first psychology internship to change her life. A first-year student still figuring out the theories in her textbooks, she's suddenly thrown into the deep end when she's assigned to UCN Rehabilitation Center. Specifically, to one patient: Tommy Reeves. Tommy is around her age, but everything about him feels older: jaded eyes, sharp sarcasm, and walls built brick by brick from a past he refuses to talk about. He's recovering from alcohol dependence, though no one's sure he really wants to. Cold, closed-off, and clearly not thrilled to be assigned a student intern, Tommy makes it clear he doesn't believe in help, or people. But Elena isn't there to fix him. She's there to understand him. What begins as reluctant, tense sessions slowly unfolds into something messier, deeper, and far more dangerous: connection. As Elena navigates her professional boundaries and the unexpected pull of emotion, she finds herself caught between what she knows and what she feels. Helping Tommy means confronting her own buried fears, and loving him might mean risking everything. Set in the quiet corridors of a rehabilitation center and the loud chaos of two hearts trying to heal, The Internship is a raw, emotionally-charged debut about first love, trauma, recovery, and the fragile line between helping someone and saving them.

When the arrogant stranger Bess is forced to marry unexpectedly becomes a duke, she'll find herself at odds with her growing feelings as he hunts for a killer. ***** Sharp-tongued Elizabeth 'Bess' Jones is perfectly content living on her lonesome in a tiny village south of Derbyshire.

But when her entire life is uprooted in an instant, she only has one person to blame: her new husband, Emmett Wilde, who was caught in a compromising situation with her. And now, despite his promise to fake a death certificate after their wedding--to free her of any duty to him or their marriage bed--he sends for her in the dead of night with startling news: his father has been murdered, and he is now the Duke of Ascot with a wife he can no longer deny...

They told me the Crown Passage was an honor. A once-in-a-lifetime journey. A train built to shape the future of royalty. But movement equals progress. No one stays still long enough to feel safe. The train is all velvet corridors and whispered rules, carrying young royals toward the futures they're meant to inherit. I was never supposed to be here-never meant to catch the attention of a prince, or to question the life waiting for me beyond these rails. Every carriage hides a secret. Every stop feels like a choice. And every glance pulls me deeper into a world I may not survive. This journey was meant to change my future. I just didn't know it would change my heart first.
