Damon built a reputation in army special ops by being invisible - getting the job done and leaving no trace. Maybe too good. Now he's just a man surviving the heat of a Mojave desert military base. Lara is a Singaporean architect who restores what everyone else walks past. Old buildings, forgotten facades, zero new complications. Flying in from Singapore, Lara expected sand, sibling arguments with her brother, and absolutely nothing else. A trip to the middle of the Mojave wasn't a holiday, but mundane had its appeal. What she didn't account for was 16 grueling hours trapped side-by-side with Damon. He's survived things that don't make it into official reports, but a sharp-witted architect was definitely not in his files. Turns out his intel had gaps - and the desert isn't done throwing them together. Sometimes you just have to lean into the cliché and catch both flights and feelings.

Three months. Two broken hearts. NHL star Leo Sutherland is living a nightmare in the spotlight. His best friend is marrying the absolute love of his life. In the past the three of them tried to defy reality in a secret throuple, but Leo ultimately walked away to save his own sanity. Now, he's trapped in a pristine, lonely penthouse, desperately hunting for a rebound just to stop replaying the wreckage of his past. Enter Ivy Parker. Dumped by her high school sweetheart after a decade together, Ivy is drowning in self-loathing. He's out chasing cheap thrills, yet he still knows exactly which buttons to push to pull her right back into his bed. She is desperate to find a way to finally say no. When Miami's most calculated hockey player walks up to her corner booth and pitches a mutually beneficial rebound arrangement Ivy can't say anything but yes. This story can be read as a standalone! However, if you want Leo's full backstory and the emotional setup, it is highly recommended to read "Phucking Throuple" first. Dual POV! New chapters every Wednesday and Saturday! 🗓️✨ #1 in NHL 17/8/26

River Williams is a master at playing the happy, normal college student. But behind her easy smile is a girl fighting a silent war against her own mind, living in the shadow of a high school mistake that cost her everything. She doesn't deserve love, and she certainly doesn't deserve JJ Belmont, the arrogant, fiercely protective hockey captain she accidentally shot down at a party two years ago. JJ Belmont doesn't do rejection. He definitely doesn't do River, the icy English major who has been a thorn in his side ever since she blew him off. But when his grades plummet, and his captaincy is threatened, he's forced to swallow his pride and beg his favorite enemy for help. The plan is simple: she tutors him, he passes, and they go back to ignoring each other. But behind closed doors, the animosity starts to blur into something scorching hot. But River's past is a landmine, and a single hidden secret is waiting to explode the trust they've built. *UNEDITED* ____________________ ✩ rankings: #1 SPORTSROMANCE (29/08/2026) #1 HOCKEYPLAYER (29/08/2026) #1 ROMANTICCOMEDY (22/07/2026) #1 COLLAGE (16/08/2026) #1 UNIVERSITY (01/07/2026) #3 MICHEGAN (05/07/2026) #3 JOCK (05/07/2026) #5 ROMANTIC (22/07/2026) [Word Count: 113,700+] Copyright ©2026 by Annabella May

Nicole lands her dream job at Bloomwell, a glossy, woman-run wellness company that sells supplements, weight loss pills, and the promise of a better life. The office feels more like a luxury retreat than a workplace, with endless perks designed to keep employees happy, loyal, and inside. But when Nicole starts noticing small things that don't add up, her coworkers respond with unsettling positivity, almost like they're afraid of something. As Nicole digs deeper, people who ask questions start vanishing. A flirtatious, wealthy coworker draws her into a dangerous, addictive relationship just as she realizes Bloomwell is watching her more closely than it should. To survive, Nicole will have to outthink a force she barely understands, and decide how far she's willing to go to burn her dream job to the ground. *****Complete*****

Three foreign girls take on a hotel internship in Guam, expecting sunshine, easy money, and a year away from their real lives. Instead, they get thrown into a high-pressure resort environment where everything is performative - the smiles, the service, the relationships. The story follows Kira, who didn't choose hospitality out of passion but as a way out. She's structured, observant, and not particularly interested in people- until she is, and it destabilizes everything. Around her, friendships start to shift. Lines blur between loyalty and self-interest. There's interracial romance, messy entanglements, cheating, emotional abuse, and the slow unraveling of who these girls thought they were versus who they become in a place where no one really knows them. It's part coming-of-age, part relationship drama, set against the artificial paradise of a resort on a tropical island.
