BETWEEN THE LINES Amara Bennett has three things on her mind: surviving third-year nursing, keeping her family afloat, and making sure she never becomes a burden to anyone. Love isn't on the list. Then there's Callum Harrington. University rugby star. Rich. Arrogant. Infuriatingly charming. And completely off-limits. What Amara doesn't know is that Callum has noticed her for much longer than she realises. Behind the parties, the rugby matches, and the perfect family name is a boy hiding something no one is supposed to know about. Poetry. Then Amara finds his notebook. And suddenly, the boy she thought she understood starts looking very different between the lines. He was never supposed to fall for her. She was never supposed to fall at all.

He was raised to marry Victoria Ashford. Old money. Old rules. A life already written before he was old enough to read it. Then Eleanor Whitmore walked into a boardroom, argued with his father, and ruined everything he thought he wanted. Some people fight to be chosen. Others discover that choosing themselves changes everything. A slow-burn, quietly devastating story about love, class, family expectation - and the difference between being chosen and being loved. And somewhere in the background... someone is watching. 💔 Slow burn 💔 Forbidden-adjacent 💔 Old money vs. new love 💔 Psychological tension

I asked the Trevi Fountain for a boyfriend. A few days later, I met one in Brussels. Coincidence? I thought so too. Just after my thirty third birthday, a strange chain of events took me from Turkey to Rome, from a wish at the Trevi Fountain to a nearly missed flight and eventually to a man waiting for me at Mont des Arts. His name was John. The timing was almost too perfect. So, naturally, I assumed the universe knew what it was doing. What I didn't know was that getting the man you wished for is only the beginning. Because love doesn't always arrive on time. Sometimes, it's delayed. Sometimes, it's cancelled. And sometimes, it comes with a passport, a complicated relationship status, a ridiculous amount of bad timing-and absolutely no return ticket. This is a story about love, travel, fate, bad decisions, second chances, and the spectacular mess that happens when you think you've finally figured out what the universe is trying to tell you. Maybe John was a gift from the Trevi Fountain. Or maybe the universe has a very strange sense of humour. Some love stories are written in the stars. Others are written at the departure board.

Lenny Jones didn't move to Broadbank looking for anything. New town. New school. New people. She's seventeen, has no grand plan for her life and is perfectly happy figuring it out as she goes. Jonny Sims has never had that luxury. His life has been mapped out in race weekends, early mornings and dirt tracks for as long as he can remember. Motocross isn't just something he loves. It's the thing his dad has sacrificed everything for, and Jonny is finally getting close to making all of it worth something. They probably shouldn't matter to each other. But Broadbank is small. Their lives keep overlapping. Their friends become tangled, Jonny somehow ends up befriending Lenny's older brother, and somewhere between school corridors, parties, race weekends and all the ordinary moments in between, something starts happening. The problem is, Jonny is trying to get out of Broadbank. Lenny is only just beginning to call it home. And neither of them knows yet how much growing up is going to cost them. A messy coming of age love story about first love, family, ambition, bad decisions and the people you meet before you know who you're going to become.

She had never been meant to be seen in the way she was seen. He had never been meant to look twice. In a world governed by silence, appearances, and carefully arranged futures, Cordelia Vane had lived as a presence just outside attention-until Lord Frederick Ashby changed the shape of every room she entered simply by noticing her. What began in a crowded London musicale became a sequence of impossible moments: stolen conversations behind glass, walks through gardens that felt too quiet to be innocent, and letters that said less than they admitted. Frederick carried the weight of an inherited estate and expectations that left little space for deviation. Cordelia carried the expectation of becoming something useful, acceptable, and safely positioned. Neither had accounted for what it meant when observation became recognition. As society watched and reinterpreted every interaction into a rumor, both were drawn deeper into a connection that refused to remain appropriately distant. What unfolded between them was shaped by restraint, pressure, and timing that never quite aligned, yet still moved forward. And in the end, what mattered most was not how the world interpreted them-but that, despite everything, they continued to choose each other. ©️ Relle H.

Ciara Reed arrived in England with two suitcases, a sharp mind, and no intention of letting romance rewrite the life she had planned. Oxford was supposed to be about ambition, discipline, and proving that a girl from Savannah could belong in any room she entered. Then there was Jackson Weston, impossibly composed, quietly persistent, and far too good at seeing past the walls she had built around herself. Years later, Atlanta had become the place where Ciara turned independence into an art form. She had built a life measured in achievements, polished appearances, and carefully protected boundaries. Yet some memories refused to stay buried. Grey mornings, cobblestone streets, handwritten words, and the unsettling feeling of being understood too well remained tucked beneath everything she had become. INCONVENIENTLY YOURS was a slow-burning interracial romance shaped by distance, ambition, longing, and the complicated beauty of being truly seen. Between Oxford's timeless halls and Georgia's heat, Ciara faced the tension between the woman she had worked so hard to become and the emotions she had never completely outgrown. Some connections arrived at the wrong time. Some crossed oceans without losing their meaning. And some became impossible to ignore, no matter how carefully the heart had learned to protect itself. © Relle H.

Rowena: I wasn't supposed to stay in the Cotswolds. Flooded roads, a stubborn sat‑nav, and one very persistent rainstorm changed that. I checked into a little inn, told myself it was only for a night, and tried not to think too hard about the life I was rushing back to. Martin: I wasn't supposed to be there either. A cancelled retreat, a need for quiet, and a feeling I couldn't quite name brought me to the same inn. I didn't expect her. I definitely didn't expect what followed. Rowena: Seven days. Shared breakfasts. Candlelit evenings when the power went out. Walks through ruined abbeys and conversations I'd never dared have with anyone else. Martin: We were both engaged. Both sensible. Both trying very hard not to fall for the wrong person at the wrong time. Rowena: But rain has a way of washing things clear. Martin: And sometimes one week is enough to change everything. A quiet, tender love story about timing, truth, and the unexpected person who feels like home. ---
