Sonja Williams arrives in South Korea for what should have been a summer of adventure with her roommate. What she finds instead is a world of power and danger she was never meant to see, and a man who decides she is a problem to be contained rather than a person to be known. He is younger than her. He is devastating and cold and precise in a way that makes her chest tighten for reasons that have nothing to do with fear. His compound is beautiful and locked, and the line between protection and captivity is something she spends a long time trying to locate. She does not expect to respect him. She does not expect him to earn it. And she does not expect that by the time she has to choose between staying and surviving, the choice will be the hardest thing she has ever done, or that its consequences will follow her across an ocean, through years of building a new life, all the way to a morning when her door opens and he is standing there, older and harder, and looking at her like someone who has crossed the world to find what he could not stop searching for. Seven years. Two continents. One impossible love. Some fires take a long time to become what they were always meant to be. Tender Destruction is an interracial slow burn romance with mature themes, explicit content, and a love story that earns every word of its ending. © _RelleLebby_// R. L.

Ava Kingston didn't move to Seoul to be anyone's prize-she came to build a life in her own silhouette. On day one, two very different boys notice: Seo Jihoon, a composed model‑actor with a smile that quiets rooms, and Park Minjae, an idol rapper whose baritone can set a stage on fire. What starts in school hallways refuses to fade; it grows up with them through late‑night rehearsals, movie sets, fashion runways, and the messy, beautiful ordinary moments that make a life. Hearts tangle. Ambition tests loyalty. And desire keeps asking for one more chance. A slow‑burn AMBW/KMBW Korean romance about timing, boundaries, found family, and choosing yourself while your heart is choosing too. ©️ _RelleLebby_// R. L.

College is supposed to be about plans-grades, internships, and timelines that make sense. Sabrina Baptiste, a sharp pre-law transfer who swore off chaos, isn't looking for distraction. Then Leo Santiago-Puerto Rican, dancer-athlete, moody with a soft grin and tattoos like a map-walks into her Florida heat and refuses to leave quietly. Their chemistry is instant. Their problems are, too. Leo's not-quite-finished business with his ex, Minji, sets off every alarm Sabrina owns. Boundaries get drawn. Lines get crossed. A tropical storm turns into a first time neither of them can pretend away. And when a bigger hurricane knocks out their power, the truth lights them up brighter than any streetlamp: love isn't magic-it's work. Set in Orlando's humid nights-Latin clubs, lechoneras off Semoran, Lake Eola sunsets-As Long as We Are follows two people learning to choose each other on purpose: past the ex, past the rumors, past the fear of empty rooms. It's Caribbean to Caribbean, culture to culture, storm to storm. Messy, honest, and open-door. © _RelleLebby_// R. L.

She has never forgotten what it cost her to be made small. He has never stopped carrying the weight of having done the making. Years separate the afternoon that changed everything from the morning they end up sharing an apartment, a refrigerator, and a set of laminated house rules neither of them intended to take seriously. She is brilliant, meticulous, and not remotely interested in revisiting old wounds with the person who inflicted them. He has spent years becoming someone accountable enough to deserve a second look, and he is not entirely sure he has gotten there yet. They are not friends. They are not ready. They are, however, roommates, which turns out to be its own kind of slow-burn education in who a person becomes when proximity gives them nowhere left to hide. This is a story about accountability that takes longer than an apology. About attraction that survives the evidence of history. About what it means to trust someone who has already failed you, and what it requires to earn that trust back in full sentences, over time, without shortcuts. It is also a story about families, grief, ambition, consent, and the specific bravery of choosing someone who once made you feel small and deciding together to build something that has room for all of you. From the gym where it started to the kitchen where it ends, this is the long way around. ©️ _RelleLebby_// R. L.
