Alphahero Stories

He's the hottest handyman in suburbia. She's the wife ready to wield a power drill in defense of her marriage. Chase Stone is every suburban fantasy come to life: rugged contractor, black hair, blue eyes, and biceps that turn simple repairs into spectator sports. His new wife, Lila, thought moving to the peaceful Serenity Pines would be the perfect start to their forever. She was wrong. Their "dream neighborhood" is a jungle of manicured lawns and deeply lonely-and deeply determined-women. When a leaking faucet becomes a midnight emergency and a wobbly deck demands a shirtless inspection, Lila realizes the local "cougar coalition" has her husband in their crosshairs. Armed with nothing but withering wit, a bedazzled tool belt, and the unshakable belief that her man is worth fighting for, Lila declares war. From sabotaged charity auctions to ill-timed hot tub meltdowns, she'll prove that this handyman's heart-and his very skilled hands-are already occupied. Baby, Where the Hell Is My Husband? is a sexy, laugh-out-loud romantic comedy about marriage, mischief, and defending your happily-ever-after from anyone who wants to borrow your husband-especially after 6 PM. Perfect for fans of sizzling chemistry, suburban satire, and a heroine who isn't afraid to fight for her man.

She came to Tokyo for a fresh start. What she found was him. Amari Brooks left Atlanta carrying wounds she never talks about. Sakura International Academy was supposed to be the place where none of that history could follow her. Then she sees the group that runs this school like royalty, and the one at the center of them who looks right through her with eyes that carry their own damage she hasn't learned to read yet. Haruto Tanaka is not who he appears to be. The coldness is not arrogance. It is penance. The silence is not strength. It is the distance a person keeps when they know exactly what they are capable of breaking. They are wrong for each other in every visible way. Different worlds, different languages, different kinds of hurt. And something between them that neither can name or outrun. What begins as friction slowly becomes the most honest thing either of them has ever felt. But the academy has enemies. His family has plans. And both of them are carrying secrets that, when they surface, will demand a reckoning. Tokyo is beautiful and relentless and it will not let them hide from each other. Neither will the truth. A slow burn interracial romance set in Tokyo. Dark, tender, explicit in the way of stories that take their time to earn it. For readers who want the full journey. ©️ _RelleLebby_// R. L.
