✨ Quote featured in WATTPAD chicklit's THE CORNER BOOTH - April' 26 community newsletter ✨ UNDER EDITING!!!!!! 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐒𝐄𝐏𝐓𝐄𝐌𝐁𝐄𝐑 𝐭𝐨 𝐀𝐦𝐚𝐳𝐨𝐧 𝐊𝐃𝐏 (after major editings ofc 😜) "Lie on the bed, Isla Maria Carter. That's my fifth payment" Falling for her brother's rival? Of course not. She'd rather eat dirt. For Isla, it was supposed to be a simple university project: observe, analyze, and leave. But you can't observe a predator like Noah Blackwood without becoming the prey. He's the new captain of the Blackthorns. The golden boy. The trustees' son and the visionary future of the University. But to Isla Maria Carter... he's nothing more than a SON OF A BISCUIT. He's her brother's greatest rival. Her biggest headache. And now? Her mandatory partner. Noah doesn't like being a subject; he likes being the one in control. And he has decided the only subject he's interested in... is her. HE WANTS HER TO FALL FOR HIM. SHE WANTS HIM TO FALL IN A PIT. HE WANTS TO KISS HER. SHE WANTS TO PUNCH HIM. FOR HIM, SHE'S THE CHALLENGE HE NEVER SAW COMING. FOR HER, HE'S THE PROBLEM SHE CAN'T ESCAPE. HE WANTS HER. SHE WANTS HIM-MURDERED. This season's game has officially moved off the field. But the question remains the same, "Who is going to win this match?" •=======• Cover by @elaradaven Well yes there are many kiss scenes in between (for absolute no reason acc to me) because, come on! It's my book and I love these things lol. Okay I know you guys. So, here's the spice level:- 4/5 🌶️ [UNDER EDITING]

Everyone pours their day into a diary, and so do I. But I also love expressing my thoughts through poetry, so what if I combined the two? Featured on @newlywrittenbooks

Summer 1995. Camp Hollow. Elijah arrives at Camp Hollow hoping for the summer of a lifetime, but the camp sits on land haunted by a forgotten tragedy. As strange visions, cryptic warnings, and long-buried secrets begin to surface, he and his new friends are drawn into a nightmare that's been waiting decades to begin again. A story of friendship, survival, and the secrets that refuse to stay buried.

We often think of pirates as seekers of gold, but the most dangerous thing a pirate can steal is a soul. Lupin was a man who lived for the prank, the wind, and the next horizon. He was a master of masks until he met a girl who had spent her whole life wearing one. Jessica was a Princess who had everything except herself. She was a bird bred for a cage, told that her only purpose was to be a silent anchor for a crumbling throne. She didn't need a hero to slay a dragon; she needed a rogue to show her that the cage door was never actually locked. Now imagine how this story will leads when these two souls from different worlds become one ?

Sometimes, the word "ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑜" is just a prettier title for a caged weapon. On the morning she had wedding plans to finalize, Cassandra Vale is torn from her life by a summoning ritual that mistakes desperation for destiny. She is dropped in a foreign court alongside four other strangers, each pulled from unfinished lives and futures. Jason Calloway is a bonafide flirt who lives and breathes the gym. If you ask him? Strength can answer all life's problems. He's strength made human, literally, but even the strongest people have limits. William James prefers the solace of reading and drawings to help him cope with daily life. After all, books don't talk back. Quiet, observant, and often overlooked, he sees more than he says; speaking up only when logic gets involved. If social media had a queen, it'd be Vivian Sterling. Fashion and screens are her ride or die as she lives to create that "𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑓𝑒𝑐𝑡 𝑖𝑚𝑎𝑔𝑒" wherever she goes. Until now...when that curated picture cracks. And then there's Alex Mercer. Charming. Effortless. Impossible not to like. The kind of Golden Boy whose smile can hide a hundred secrets. He knows that there is a fine line between manipulation and charm. The only difference between the two? One tastes sweet. The other? It 𝑙𝑜𝑜𝑘𝑠 sweet. Together, they are declared heroes. A world on the brink of collapse claims it had no choice. Demons press against weakening seals. Ancient protections fail. And those in power mask theft as fate. But the summoned are not grateful. As grief hardens into anger and fragile alliances form, the summoned heroes choose to play nice learning the world and its ways...for the moment. Whether they continue to choose that option remains to be seen. But the one thing they'll learn? Being chosen doesn't make you a hero. It makes you a resource. And Cassandra Vale never agreed to be merciful.

Cassidy Marlow is a senior who likes to keep her life simple and fun. School, music, friends, and books are all she needs to stay sane. Between scrolling through posts and daydreaming, she doesn't expect much to shake up her carefully balanced world. That is, until, the new kid appears and Cass just so happens to be interested. Asher Park, a senior as well, likes to keep to himself. He struggles with isolation, hiding behind his careful smiles and guitar. And beneath everything...lies a secret that's captivated millions. Starting at a new school feels impossible, until he notices the one girl who actually tries to see him. As Cassidy's and Asher's worlds collide, identities and growing feelings start to develop. Shadowy online threats, comments, and bullying starts to hit at them relentlessly and puts them both at risk. Cass must navigate her own heart while helping the boy she's coming to know, bit by bit. Maybe some connections are worth risking everything for. ***Cover by @Julieiswriting*** ----------- Open Novella Contest (ONC 2026) - LONGLIST - Prompt 23: You discover the quiet transfer student in your class is actually a world-famous pop star hiding in plain sight, and their secret begins to reshape both your lives. - Prompt 78: You begin to realize that nothing is quite what it seems.
