"I want to kiss the hell out of you right now." Despite all her sweet confessions, she still managed to narrow her eyes at him. "I'm mad at you." He didn't give her time to escape the moment. One second she was glaring at him, the next he had moved, guiding her back against the couch with a suddenness that made her yelp in surprise. Her breath was still uneven when he looked down at her. "Let me change that," he whispered, his voice low and rough with everything he was feeling. "Please?" "Okay," she murmured shyly. *** One ordinary woman made the conman want an honest life.

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).

UNRESOLVED | RIKI Recently, several young women have disappeared without a trace. No witnesses. No clues. No answers. At first, the cases seem unrelated. Different girls, different circumstances, nothing that could possibly connect them. Until Detective Kisaragi Rei starts seeing a pattern. Assigned to the case alongside Detective Riki, Rei finds herself working with the one person who knows her better than anyone-and perhaps the one person she never expected to face again. Their relationship is complicated. Their past is unfinished. And working together means confronting everything they've tried to leave behind. But the investigation becomes far more personal when Rei discovers something that changes everything. Now, finding the truth isn't just a part of their job. It's personal. And as Rei and Riki get closer to uncovering what happened to the missing girls, they begin to realize that some secrets were never meant to be found. Because the truth may be closer than they think. UNRESOLVED.

History remembers the women who endure. Siya intends to be remembered for choosing herself. At seventeen, the world taught Siya how quickly a rumour turned a girl into a cautionary tale. Years later, she's rebuilt her life into an assistant professor of particle physics that she always aspired to be, with facts not love. Until the career she's spent a lifetime chasing demands the one thing she never expected: Marriage To Atharv The man she once trusted her future with. To everyone else, they're friends turned newlyweds. To themselves, they're strangers sharing a campus apartment, pretending a signature can erase years of heartbreak. But somewhere between late-night research, shared memories, and a home that begins to feel dangerously real, the lines between obligation and love start to blur. Once, Siya let the world decide who she was. This time, she'll decide whether love deserves to be part of the story she writes next. Updates every Friday!
