Claire Parker didn't move to a new city for love. She moved for a fresh start. A twenty-something, armed with a brand-new job and a carefully packed life, Claire is determined to prove she can stand on her own. New apartment. New career. New rules. Falling for the guy next door is not one of them. Especially when that guy is Aiden Fox. Aiden is tall, gorgeous, and infuriatingly rude. He blasts music through the wall, and seems to have mastered the art of emotional unavailability. But thin walls have a way of blurring first impressions. What starts as mutual annoyance turns into late-night conversations, unexpected laughter, and a friendship neither of them saw coming. Beneath Aiden's gruff exterior is a man still bruised by past heartbreak, one who keeps love at arm's length, even as he's drawn closer to Claire with every shared moment. As attraction deepens and defenses fall, Claire must decide if she's brave enough to risk her heart in a city that already feels uncertain, and Aiden must choose whether running from love is safer than finally letting it in. Because sometimes, the fresh start you're looking for lives right next door. ~~~Excerpt~~~ "I don't appreciate hearing your sex noises, Neighbor." "Sex noises?!?" I asked. "Yeah. The 'yes Simon, that's the spot' and 'oh that feels so good Simon' and all the moaning that went along with it," he said, rolling his eyes. "Um, for your information, those weren't sex noises, you asshole. I was getting a massage, trying to work out all my sore muscles from moving and relax before I start a new job on Wednesday." "Well it definitely sounded like sex to me." "How long has it been since you had sex anyway? Don't answer that. I don't want to know. By the way, that's not what I sound like during sex, but you can bet I will be a lot louder the next time I do have sex, just for you." "Great. I will work on a new rage playlist then," he said with a wink and a turn. "Nice robe, by the way. Super hot."

May just wanted to scroll-a casual peek at her ex-boyfriend Landon's Instagram. Everything was going harmlessly, until she accidentally liked his post. To cover up the ultimate cringe, she spins a lie: she has a boyfriend. Except she doesn't. Not even close. But when Landon shows up at her favorite cafe, she improvises, pointing at a clueless barista and calling him her "boyfriend." 😫 Now May is trapped in a web of lies bigger than her Instagram feed - a fake boyfriend, a charming ex who doesn't know the truth, and a cafe guy who has no idea he's part of this disaster. 😅 © SLWrites 2026.

She falls first, he falls harder. Eighteen-year-old Kehlani Adeyemi never expected to win a scholarship to St Augustine's College, one of London's most elite private schools. Here, uniforms are crisp, families are rich, and she sticks out like a sore thumb. She plans to keep her head down. Blend in. Survive. But when her path crosses with Nate Devereaux, those plans turn to shit. Bad-tempered and impossible to read, Nate is determined to pretend she doesn't exist... until he doesn't. While new friendships form in the glittering world of St Augustine's, Kehlani's real life grows heavier: grief she refuses to touch, siblings who depend on her, and secrets she has sworn never to speak aloud. She can navigate St Augustine's. She can survive home. But she can't let the two collide. Yet the closer she and Nate become, the harder it is to keep her two worlds apart. How long can she maintain this game of pretend before the truth is revealed? #1 classism #1 domesticabuse #3 discovery Thank you for your support :)

[Slow Brew Series 1 of 2] [Completed] Look, I didn't mean to embarrass myself the first time I walked into Brewing Grounds. Or the second. Or...every other time since. But something about the place-and the barista with the messy ponytail and the glasses that she pushes up her nose-makes me forget how to form actual sentences. Bea. Her name's Bea. She spelled mine wrong on my cup the first day (Ell-yot Hayul), and now I'm kind of obsessed. Not with her. With medium lattes. With her handwriting. With the little hearts she scribbles on my cups. Okay... maybe a little bit with her. The point is: I'm a walking disaster around her, and I'm pretty sure she knows it. And okay, maybe I started showing up every morning at exactly 7:30 just to see her. And maybe I've been reading up on how to flirt because I thought that might help (it hasn't). But honestly, what's the worst that could happen? I embarrass myself again? (Already done that.) Spill coffee on my tie? (Happened last week.) Accidentally fall in love with the barista who writes flirty notes on my coffee cups? Oh, wait...

[18+][Updates whenever] When a broke, no-nonsense New Yorker, Georgia Whittaker, catches the attention of a golden-boy billionaire, Aiden Ashford, she's forced to choose between keeping her distance or risking everything for a man from a world that was never meant to let a girl like her in. There are a billion reasons why it shouldn't work-too many secrets, too many differences-but sometimes, all it takes is one.

Léo James Bélanger is Hollywood's newest obsession-confident, charming, untouchable. At least, that's the role everyone expects him to play. Behind the bright lights and constant cameras, he feels himself unraveling. Italy was supposed to be his reset: a new film, a new city, a moment to finally breathe. But everything changes in an instant. A crowd. An accident. A girl he can't forget. June Sellers is curious and bold, the kind of person who looks straight past the spotlight and sees the human beneath it. Talking to her feels effortless-like he's Léo again, not the persona the world demands. What begins as comfort quickly becomes something deeper, something he's not sure he deserves. Yet secrets never stay hidden forever. And when the truth he's been guarding comes to the surface, the identity he hid to win her love may be the very thing that breaks it.
