Jeremiah is a lot of things. A great big brother, a good son, and a hell of a fireman. It wasn't until he laid eyes on Cecelia Blair, that he realized he wasn't a good man. Cecelia has an entire life that doesn't involve him, but he doesn't care. She is the love of his life and he spent years searching for her. He wouldn't let something like her having a boyfriend get in his way. Seeing her again, was fate. He knew it. They were always supposed to be together. He thinks it was written somewhere very long ago. The only problem? She doesn't know it. Jeremiah's not sure why he remembers their past life and she doesn't. He's not sure why he's been cursed to ache and long and she hasn't, but that's okay. It doesn't matter. What matters is that he found her, what matters is that they can be together again. And he swears that he'll do whatever it takes to keep her this time because he wasn't so lucky the last time. Even if it means blowing up both of their lives in the process. How do you even tell someone that you loved them in another life? That you love them in this one? That you'll love them in all the ones after? He's not sure. But, he will. She's the only person he'll ever love and he's about to make it everyone's problem. ♾️ Started: July 2024 Published: Feb 17, 2026 Completed:

When Aeluna moves to Louisville to renovate an old house and find her words again, the last thing she expects is Maverick - patient, grounded, and dangerously intentional.

Chosyn Wilson is a man of a few words, he didn't like talking and most people always thought he was weird. When he bumps into a yapper dapper assistant, things change.

In the gilded and volatile world of nineteenth century Tuscany, where noble titles carry more weight than conscience and desire moves beneath the surface of every formal gathering like current beneath still water, Corinna arrives at the Laurent Estate with dark eyes, a past carved by grief, and a beauty so complete it rearranges every room she enters. She is a Black woman who has traveled far from the shores that raised her, drawn to Tuscany following her grandmother's death and the need to begin somewhere that does not already know her name. The Laurent Estate is one of Italy's most storied noble houses, its ancient stone soaked in wine and older scandal, presided over by Count Alexandre Laurent, a man of devastating composure and barely contained feeling who is formally betrothed to the cool and calculating Sophie Beaumont. What builds between Corinna and Alexandre across harvest seasons, candlelit cellars, masked balls, and crackling family ruin is a slow and punishing accumulation of desire that neither can outrun. ©️ _RelleLebby_// R.

To him, parties are ratchet and vile. An enigma vastly contrasting his reverence for solitude, silence, and carefully ordered thoughts. So when he's pushed into an unwanted arrangement, he resents the intrusion because slowly, his rule...
