Teresia knows sleeping with the pastor's son is a terrible idea. After her mother marries an assistant pastor and moves them onto the grounds of The Well Fellowship, eighteen-year-old Teresia Elkund quickly learns never to give anyone a reason to talk. Then she meets Charles Connors. He's the pastor's son: beautiful, experienced, watched by everyone, and far too used to getting away with things. His mother wants him with a nice church girl. He wants Teresia alone without anyone noticing. He is the first boy to touch her and the first person to make her feel fully alive in her own body. Then Teresia learns about Jeannette Reyes. Jeannette used to date Charles, and neither of them seems completely finished with the other. She is also the girl behind The First Draft, a secret writing group that meets off-campus and reads the kind of stories Teresia would never dare leave open on her desk at home. Teresia wants in. She wants to write something good enough to make them stop seeing her as the quiet church girl with nothing to confess. The church wants Teresia pure. The writing group wants her honest. Charles wants her in secret. Teresia wants too much of it all to walk away. Set in 1984, Teresia is a dark coming-of-age romance about desire, rivalry, shame, obsession, and the cost of wanting freedom more than forgiveness. ❤️ REVIEWS ❤️ Your story still pops into my head. I loved it. So different from everything I've read before - Eleanor of Corrupt Romantics

Though the marriage was never his decision, the more he notices the quiet girl hidden beneath the perfect family, the harder it becomes to ignore the truth behind her silence.

Silla Ek Mhurkum is just barely a nobleman. One who has very little backing and no prospects. What he does have is knowledge on how to swing a sword, familiarity with military stratagem and a hunger to prove himself. In the Royal Mirlthanian war machine, that has to count for something. Ayanna Wu Kyrian knows that the meritocracy is not fair. Which is why she's spent her entire life trying to manipulate its rules, but when she finally thinks that her days of struggle are over, she's awoken by a frustrating twist of fate. But if something so cheap as fate thinks it can stop her, it is sorely mistaken. From mistake and curse, both Silla and Aya will rise to the heights of legend. *Inspired by Evan Winters "Rage Of Dragons" and Alexey Osadchucks "Last Life".* Cover by: @d0moniqueWrites NOTE: None of this story was written through AI. It all came from the old noggin. NOTE: This story touches on LGBTQ+ themes and traditional African Spirituality, if that makes you unhappy/uncomfortable please skip.

Meet Dawn 😐🖤 🔗😈🧠 and Faye 😋🎀 🌸💥🧠 The human versions of caffeinated raccoons with poor impulse control. Currently monetizing a haunted apartment. Most people run from haunted apartments. Dawn and Faye moved in on purpose. After getting evicted (for reasons that may or may not involve a séance, a fire alarm, and a oujia board), the twins find the perfect place: Room 404, Marlow Apartments. It has a certain reputation... Tenants don't stay. Lights flicker. Walls bleed. Something whispers at exactly 3:17 a.m. The ghosts expect screaming. Panic. Maybe tears. What they get instead is a camera in their face and: "Wait-can you do that again but slower? The lighting was bad." Within days, the haunting is no longer a tragedy. It's content. And when Dawn and Faye launch Ghost Hunters Inc., a paranormal investigation channel that treats actual spirits like mildly inconvenient coworkers, things spiral out of control faster than anyone-living or dead-can handle. Viewer discretion is advised. Not because of the ghosts. But because of the chaotic twins who are determined to turn everything into content and monetization. Could you handle them?
