"Something on my face, or are you just admiring my good looks?" "Neither, I was just zoned out and your ugly face just happened to be in my line of sight." She replied

Before the war, before Aegon took the throne, before her bestfriend married her father, Rhealla Targaryen was simply girl in love with her bestfriends older brother. They were each other's first love-until war, pride, and family tore them apart. Fifteen years later, Gwayne Hightower returns to King's Landing to find the Targaryen princess he left behind living as a glorified prisoner of the Greens. Forced together while the realm burns, they discover that hatred is far easier than forgiving the one person they never truly stopped loving.

Eight years ago, he vanished. Aria moved on-or at least convinced herself she did. She buried her heartbreak under a medical degree and carefully built walls, telling herself the past was done. But the universe clearly had a sense of humor. After a 4:00 AM hospital shift, all she wants is sleep. Instead, she wakes up in the morning ... next to the one man she never expected to see again-Rowan. Same space. Same pillow. Same ache she thought she'd outgrown. Now he's back, quietly undoing everything she spent years piecing together. Every glance feels familiar. Every accidental touch feels louder than it should. Like nothing ever really ended. Like eight years of silence was just a breath held too long. Eight years too late... or maybe just in time to shake a life she thought was finally steady.

Clarissa Vance is determined to conquer her freshman year at Harvard. With her sharp mind, stunning looks, and a habit of quietly sizing up a room, people easily mistake her for a cold, untouchable siren. But the truth? Clarissa is a total California sunshine girl-witty, supportive, and fiercely loyal. She's ready to ace her classes and stay completely focused on her future. Romance isn't even on her radar. Especially not when she runs into a familiar face from her past. Enter Beckett Miller. As the Harvard Crimsons' newly appointed freshman hockey captain, Beckett is the definition of golden retriever energy-outgoing, charismatic, and loved by everyone on campus. He's got a reputation for being a bit of a player, but he's never cruel; he's just a fun, charming guy who isn't ready to settle down. He's also the guy Rissa knew briefly for a few months back in California before he moved away-the one who used to playfully tease her and called her "the girl with weird eyes" because of her central heterochromia. They always claimed they couldn't stand each other, but the truth is, the spark was always there. When a clumsy morning collision and a hilariously awkward parting phrase ("Later, alligator") reunite them at Harvard, their old banter picks right back up. Forced together by a shared major and mutual friends, their fake animosity quickly turns into mutual pining. But with Beckett hiding his wealthy family's Wall Street expectations and Clarissa keeping her inner world guarded, they'll have to decide if they're ready to finally play for keeps.

She's a creative soul. A dreamer, just like her name. A woman made of storm, wrapped in wildflowers . Her name is Hayal Ndou, and she's a black woman in the apartheid era. He's a depressed, exhausted soul. An empath born on the wrong side of history. Forced to wear a badge he cares nothing for, and carry a weight that isn't his. He is a war wrapped in bandages. His name is Gabriel Smith, and he is a white man. How can love bloom in soil soaked with hate? In an era where your only crime is being black in an all-white area, and being white in an all black area. Fists talk. Blood is louder. So how can love find a place here? And if it does... will it survive?

Before Austin Black belonged to death, or medicine, or his brothers, he belonged to the ice. Notably, Austin Black has also spent his life being known incorrectly. To the world, he is the brilliant youngest son of a powerful family, already studying pre-med while his peers are still in school. To his family, he is private, precise, and impossible to worry about properly. But before dawn, in the empty rink his family owns, Austin becomes something else entirely: Free. Hunter Calloway, professional rich boy hater and the school's scholarship hockey captain, is not supposed to see him there. He is not supposed to care. He is certainly not supposed to fall for the rich boy whose world could swallow him whole. But on the ice, where class, grief, ambition, and fear blur into movement, Austin and Hunter find each other. Between hockey practice, family secrets, locker-room cruelty, and the impossible distance between their worlds, Austin and Hunter build something neither of them is brave enough to call love until the morning that love no longer remains the most dangerous thing. Still, the fact remains: they were never supposed to become anything. Not frenemies. Not secrets. Not fuck-buddies. And definitely not the kind of love story that involves "breaking news." ~~~ ಄ YOU DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE READ "BLOOD" TO READ THIS (though, it will make the experience more enjoyable because dots will connect). ಄ If you have read, or are reading "Blood," this book is set both pre and post "Blood." ಄ It is a gay romance, if you want to be homophobic in the comment section, take a hint. ಄ You don't need to know ice-hockey to read this book.

People say college gives you memories. Mine mostly gave me headaches. I came to a new city expecting lectures, assignments, and maybe one decent cup of coffee. Instead, I found Halston. Cool. Of course it was my kind of helplessness. Or my luck. Correction: Bad luck! A place where seniors have entirely too much confidence, peace has apparently never been discovered, and every corridor somehow leads to unnecessary problems. Apparently, making friends is complicated. Making enemies is effortless. And surviving? Well... I'm still trying. If you're waiting for the romance... So am I. If you're expecting common sense... You're definitely in the wrong place. Welcome to Halston. Watch your step. People here have a habit of overstepping.

Gianna Lorenzo is a horse instructor, known by almost everyone in her small town, Cloverdale. Failure isn't a part of her vocabulary.

Job hunting has began. What happens when the perfectionist who never fails intersects paths with the desperate man trying to rebuild his life?

Akriti Sharma never imagined marriage would become a problem simply because she worked for a menstrual hygiene company. Rejected by countless suitors and exhausted by society's judgment, she agrees to an arranged marriage with the cold and powerful CEO, Agastya Singhania. Their marriage comes with one condition: outside the house, they are the perfect couple. Inside, they are strangers. But beneath Agastya's indifference lies a secret he has guarded for years. As banter turns into companionship and walls begin to crumble, hidden truths threaten to destroy everything they have built. Because sometimes the most dangerous territory isn't a business empire... it's the human heart.

I never really hated Timothée. Okay, maybe I did. We had been neighbors since we were six. Our parents were best friends, we grew up together, and we even had matching nicknames from our childhood obsession with Mario. He was Mario. I was Mrs. Peach. But that didn't mean we liked each other. Especially not when my childhood crush, Mason Thames, was also our neighbor-and Timothée's best friend. Then, ten years ago, both boys moved away. And I moved on. I have a boyfriend now. Austin is sweet, funny, and everything I could ever want. At least, that's what I thought. Until Timothée and Mason suddenly come back. Mason is still the sweet boy I remember. Timothée is still the most annoying person I've ever met. But ten years is a long time. People change. Feelings change. And sometimes, the person you've spent your whole life hating is the person who knows you better than anyone. "We meet again, Mrs. Peach." "Shut up, Mario."

"You were never supposed to feel like home." Silas Vitale. An undercover agent who is handsome, focused, and knowledgeable. He is an accomplished fighter and a precise leader. He's known for control, and results that never fail. Serena (Vitale). An executive assistant working for the opposite business. She is fierce, dangerous, and intelligent. She doesn't fold under pressure- she applies it. One day, a well known company wanted both Silas and Serena (whom are well known enemies) for a mission, a well paying mission. Which they were forced to accept. The company invited them both for a meeting.. Now they are forced into business, forced into cooperation, and forced to give the illusion of marriage in a world where one mistake could ruin everything. The most dangerous part isn't the mission- It's the way they notice small things about each other that they shouldn't. The way arguments linger longer than they should. And the way trust starts forming in places they can't control. But somewhere in between the arguments and the constant awareness of each other, dislike starts to blur into something more complicated. Something neither of them is willing to name. ______________________________________________ #8 in "spies"

JAB MILA TU- a simple soulful tale of love and friendship. ♡ Aarav × Riddhima ♡ A girl was climbing a shelf ladder, trying to reach the lilies. She lost her balance, and he ran over just in time to catch her. "You're fine. It's okay," he said softly. Now, you'd expect a "thank you," right? Not quite. She opened her eyes, stared at him. The next thing he knew, she shoved him back with full force, making him stumble and fall. "Ouch! Lady, that hurts!" he whined, watching her run away. _______________________ ♡ Yug × Shree♡ "Kuch bolu?? Hatt. kyun hi bolna hai. Par kuch toh bolna chahiye na. Yeh koi silent movie thodi chal rahi hai?" Her thoughts raced, but one of them slipped out aloud. "Arre, par bolu kya?" "Jo bhi aapke mann kare," he said, confused and amused at the same time. "Kya?" she asked. "Kya?" he asked back. "Kya kya?" She frowned. "Huh?" "Hain?" she asked again. ________________________ ♡ Vihaan × Samriddhi ♡ He gave her a sheepish smile. "I promise you, I'm not a stalker, but I saw your Instagram." She fell quiet for a moment, and then- "What do you post about? Your daily life? Wait... do you have, like, a whole team? A PR, yk?" "Um... I actually got that app two days ago," he replied. She squinted her eyes playfully. "To stalk me." "I told you I'm not a stalker. Main bas aapko dekh raha tha... I mean, aapke baking videos." _______________________________ ♡ Aathrav × Siya ♡ He took her hand, and signed his autograph, giving her a wink. Turned to leave. "Teri.."she said, grabbing his hair. " What the hell?" " Aankhe bahut fadfada rhi hai na, Shakuni kahike. Ruk tere hero se panti alag karu." He jerked back, and freed his hair from her grip. But- " Mere baal". Froze, seeing the amount of his hair on her hand. "Chiiiiiiiii" " Tumne mere baal ukhad diye? " He said, shocked. " Maine thodi kiya" she shrugged. " To kya khud ukhad kar tumhare haath mai aa gye?"
