Alina Vesca was never meant for a world of bloodstained legacies and whispered deals. She belongs to flour-covered aprons, warm ovens, and quiet mornings, not the shadows that trail behind her family name. But fate doesn't ask for permission One arrangement places her beside Enzo Marcello, the untouchable heir to a name feared across New York. Cold, calculated, and impossible to read. In a city where loyalty is bought, trust is fragile, and every secret has a price, the most dangerous thing either of them might discover... is each other.

COMPLETED: Logan Kingston is convinced he's done playing hockey. After all, he's got about nine broken bones, from his pinky toe to his pelvis. He's trying so hard to rest and follow doctor's orders, but it's a lot harder than it looks. The pain just doesn't seem to getting better, and all he can do is think about hockey-and the gorgeous woman living under his roof. Dr. Lillian West normally doesn't treat hockey players. Her dad coaches the San Fransisco Wave, so she knows all about hockey players-and why she should avoid them. But she can't pass up an offer that's triple her yearly salary, and besides, it's just until he heals. After all, Logan is strictly her patient. Nothing more. But oh, how she loves wearing his jersey... Note: This story hasn't been finished before publishing. Also there is/will be very some steamier moments, but no spice! P.S. I'm working on a second story with these characters so stay tuned!

NEEDS EDITING THIS IS A FIRST DRAFT You thought you knew Jax Miller. Elias's loyal best friend. The easy-smiling golden retriever of The Inkwell. But behind that grin, the ex-Navy SEAL is hiding a war-torn soul and the trauma of a battle he cannot outrun. Jax returns to Oakhaven searching for peace, only to collide with Matilda "Tilly", the shy childhood best friend who pushed him away fifteen years ago. Tilly is back in town, working at The Heath Bakery and trying to rebuild her life after fleeing a cheating ex-fiancé who has now become a relentless stalker. Jax's protective instincts, fuelled by pain he refuses to face, snap into focus the second he sees her again. To keep Tilly safe, he suggests a fake relationship. A visible shield against the man terrorising her. But as the line between their protective lie and the feelings they buried years ago begins to blur, Jax is forced to confront the truth he has spent years hiding. And Tilly must decide whether she can trust the only man who once let her go. Find out what happens when the heart of a protector is finally put to the test. Fake Dating. Second Chance. Protective Ex-SEAL. The Protector is a friends-to-lovers romance featuring a protective ex-SEAL and a shy bakery worker caught in a fake relationship while a dangerous stalker threatens the life they are trying to build together. *** They are set in the same universe with the same characters; however, their stories are a bit different. In the first book, you don't know Tilly, but in this book, she comes in when Charlotte is nearly a year old. When I was writing Wildflower, I had no intention of making a second book, but after a while, inspiration struck, and I didn't want to touch Wildflower, but Jax and Tilly's story worked well in this time frame and i realised i have free will and can actually do whatever I want, so they techinaly work well as 2 standalones just set in the same town. CAN BE READ AS A STANDALONE

With EJ out on injury for six weeks, he's got all the free time in the world compared to usual and is determined to give that time to her.

Though it can be read as a standalone, I recommend reading books 1 & 2 before.

Emory Hart is a simple woman. She loves her family, enjoys her trips to the book store and to the coffee shop and she can never turn down her best friend when it comes to random nights full of chaos. She's content. All it takes is one run in with the one person she never seemed to win over and a surprise visit from her brother to shift Emory's whole world on its axis. After two years of successfully avoiding him, Emory's "simple" and "content" are about to morph into something a bit more frustrating and confusing and it comes in the form of her brothers best friend. Adrian Harley is a man of control. He's easy going and has charmed his way into the hearts of the entire Hart family. Emory has always been his biggest challenge. It's not because he can't win her over with the same easy going routine he uses with everyone else. It is simply because he can't find himself wanting to. No, what Adrian seeks from Emory is something much more intense. Darker. It's only because of his relationship with her brother that he swallows all of those urges for the sake of his closest friend and his own sanity. When Adrian offers his guest room to his best friend, he comes face to face with the one thing he can't have and his self control begins to snap. Adrian finds himself crossing the one line that was silently drawn when befriending the Harts. The line that leads to the one woman he isn't allowed to want. He's unleashed. Obsessed even. And she thinks he hates her.

No where to go, on the road Faylyn is on her way to finding her place in life. After a misunderstanding, prison and an argument with her parents, they kicked her to curb without even wishing her luck. Without a high school diploma or anything to keep her tied to the city, she left. Thankfully, with the car and clothes she had paid for, she headed South with the hope of finding her place in the world, a meaning for her existence. It was then she found herself in an uncommon situation, alone, in the middle of nowhere with something that needs more help than she does. Yes, this is a romance novel. It's more of slow building love rather than a raunchy, extremely passionate one.

Gravitating towards her, he manages to bring her a sense of comfort to the new beginnings in life. Not all beginnings are as true as they let off and lies can only last so long. ~ ❀ ~ I can't help but stare at her. Her face, lips, and smile, and her nose. Even her long, curled lashes. "Let's do a butterfly kiss!" She exclaims, pulling my face close suddenly. Kiss? My heart hammers in my chest, my breath hitching. Her small hands hold my face close to hers. It's not very forceful, I could pull away if I wanted to, but I let her have control. Her hands are warm and soft against my jaw. Getting closer, her eyes lashes flutter and I find myself holding my breath. She brushes her lashes to mine, her breath fanning against my lips. Subconsciously, I lean forward, wanting my lips to be on hers. June flutter her lashes, grazing her lashes to mine. Out of nowhere she bursts out in a fit of laughter. I flinch back. Butterfly kiss. That was not a fucking kiss. ~ ❀ ~ #1 cliche 2025 #1 sweatheart 2025 #1 opposites 2026 *Warning* Mature themes will be covered (language, actions, etc).
