Emily Lockhart has it all figured out. She's studying in a prestigious program, living abroad, and dating with marriage in mind. Her future is mapped out. But life doesn't care about plans. When Emily's world is suddenly turned upside down, who will she turn to? ・・・ Alex Carmichael is a lost soul. She used to have a clear path laid out: she'd inherit her family's fortune, marry her high school sweetheart, and run one of the largest companies in the U.S. But now, she has no idea what to do with her life. The fame that once clung to her now feels suffocating, her will to meet new people nonexistent, and her heart seems broken beyond repair. But when she locks eyes with a familiar pair of deep, ocean-blue eyes, she feels like she can breathe again. ········· This is an independent sequel to Melting The Ice, following the story of Alex and Emily from both POVs. It can be read as a standalone, and I will admit the writing is much better in this one, but you're more than welcomed to read Melting The Ice beforehand. Trigger Warnings: This story portrays a character who is struggling with eating disorders, particularly anorexia, so beware. There will be mentions of depression and anxiety. They are both going through it, and it is the trying that matters, so a lot of heartbreak before a happy ending. And, of course, smut🫡

Mariah Jade Grey is 21 years old, freshly graduated, and trying to figure out what comes next. She's stylish, sarcastic, and guarded- always has been. After losing more than she ever talks about, she's learned not to get too close. Love doesn't stay. People don't stay. So she keeps herself safe: with ambition, independence, and the quiet ache of something missing. Kyra Reyes is 30 years old, the kind of woman with a camera in one hand and someone new on her arm- easy, unattached, free. Nothing ever sticks: not the girls she leaves tangled in her sheets, not the art that never quite feels finished, not the whispers about her being a player. But when it comes to Mariah, everything sticks. Every glance. Every laugh. Every moment that isn't supposed to mean anything, but somehow means everything. As their best friends build new lives and the city around them quiets down, Mariah and Kyra find themselves circling each other, drawn together by late nights, unspoken truths, and the weight of everything they won't say out loud. It's there in the way Kyra looks at her. It's there in the way Mariah never quite lets her go. And when the silence finally breaks, it changes everything. What they have isn't just friendship. But it isn't love. Not yet. Maybe not ever. Almost. But is almost ever enough?

Grace has always been the responsible one. After losing her parents, responsibility was all she knew-taking care of her younger sister, keeping her head down, never letting herself slip. No parties, no distractions, and definitely no time for love. It never mattered anyway. Love was something that never seemed to belong to her. Until now. What started as a simple tango class, just a chance to learn something she'd always admired, changes everything the moment she meets her. The instructor. Beautiful, magnetic, impossible to look away from. But falling for her is dangerous. Because she's married. She's forbidden. And she's the mother of her sister's best friend. Grace promised herself she would never risk her heart. But on the dance floor, with every step and every stolen glance, she's beginning to wonder if some loves are worth breaking all the rules for.

[ A story of Regina Maureen Trinidad. ] #3 She was a painful memory she chose to drown in, willingly and without hesitation. It never even occurred to her that she was risking everything for her- until all that remained were shades of grey. She had made her the center of her world, so completely that, somewhere along the way, she lost herself. Status: COMPLETE Date: Aug 18, 2022 - Jan 23, 2023

[ON-GOING] Professor Maxine Montclair, a professor known for her cold discipline, precise control, and unforgiving academic standards that leave no room for error, crosses paths with her new student. Will she ever recognize her?

Ella Sorax is a weapon in human form-ruthless, untouchable, and driven by a grief turned vengeance. Love is weakness. Trust is danger. Until Samantha Collins walks into her carefully controlled world. Samantha is everything Ella isn't-sunny, stubborn, guarded, and strong despite scars no one else sees. She believes in rare, precious love. Ella doesn't see Samantha. She sees the Collins name, the past, the betrayal. A target. A distraction. A chance for revenge. But revenge has a way of twisting. And when Ella falls, she falls hard. When their worlds collide-teacher and student, power and innocence-nothing is simple. Secrets unravel. Forbidden desire sparks between them like fire and ice. Every look, every word, every touch is a gamble. The right love at the wrong time can ruin everything-or change everything. Will Ella let herself love, or will vengeance win first? Will Samantha survive the one she's beginning to trust, or will betrayal break her before she even realizes the stakes? Dark. Addictive. Emotional. Fall'in For Her is a story of power, obsession, family legacies, forbidden desire, and heartbreak-the kind that leaves you holding your breath until the very last secret is revealed.

The seduction dripped off of her tongue, just like I desired to be, her low voice entrancing me with the dangerously sadistic melodies of a siren song, with the most terribly sinful lyrics. "I could kill you right now, Angel." She inched closer towards me. "Right here," she said, her eyes raking over my body, sizing me up, slowly. The lustful grey in them soon lifted back up, intimidating mine. Her harsh words screamed murderous intent, but the look in her eyes whispered a different kind of sin. I couldn't tell whether my breath hitched at her cruel threat, or the yearning pulse between my... She interrupted my stream of consciousness, poisoning it with every still second, keeping her gaze on mine as her depraved hand reached out to caress the bruised side of my neck. "But I have something else in mind." ──────────────────── No one ever says it out loud. What she really is. Dangerous. Heartless. Merciless. A murderer. Everyone knows it. And now, she's in control. There's only so many people who kill their way to the top and get away with it. But there are things far more dangerous than power. Things not only worth killing for, but dying for. Seduction. Obsession. Love? Angeline Kelleher, her new secretary, seems to be the only one reckless enough to question her. To stand too close. To look too long. Unfortunately for Angeline, sin itself was designed to allure. Some urges were never meant to be denied, and resisting the sexual temptation of the devil is not an easy sport. But resisting falling in love may be even harder, especially with someone she wasn't sure was even capable of such a feeling... Hopefully 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑠 angel doesn't fall and break her wings.

𝐍𝐨𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞 𝐁𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐬 does not have time to fall for someone. She is too busy holding down her job, keeping her sick mother afloat while sinking herself. When she is offered the chance to become a private chef for double the pay, she takes it, telling herself it is just work. Just friendship. Nothing more. It is about how some things leave, yes. But some things stay, even when you're sure they shouldn't.
