    The Hidden Prince Amelia Moore, a determined journalist eager to prove herself, stumbles upon what should be a simple story in the quiet village of Eldermere: a mysterious, reclusive woodworker named Leo. But as she digs deeper, she discovers that Leo is not just an ordinary man-he's Prince Leopold, the heir to the throne of Veloria, hiding from royal responsibilities and the weight of his crown. Drawn together by their shared desire for a life beyond expectations, Amelia and Leo begin to fall for each other. However, the weight of Leo's secret threatens to tear them apart. As his kingdom beckons him to return, Leo is forced to choose between his love for Amelia and the duty he can no longer escape. Caught between two worlds, Amelia must decide whether she's willing to sacrifice her life and freedom for a love that might never be free from the demands of royalty. With intrigue, passion, and a race against time, The Hidden Prince is a heart-wrenching tale of love, sacrifice, and the power of destiny.

    "I'd rather rip out my own heart than love a wolf like you." "Too bad the Moon Goddess already gave it to me." When Elara wakes up inside the enemy's territory-wounded, trapped, and mate-bound to the boy who hates her-she knows she's in danger.

He wants nothing to do with her. Until the mate bond ignites. Forced into the brutal "Mating Month" deep in the woods, Elara and Darian must fight side by side, sleep under the same stars, and resist the instinct that binds them. But something dark is rising. A rogue faction is tearing down packs from within-and Elara might be the reason why. Their connection is forbidden. Their trust is fragile. And someone in the shadows wants them both dead. Hate never burned so hot. Love never came with such sharp teeth.

    In a ruined world patrolled by relentless Arc machines, survival isn't a promise - it's a fight bought day by day. Claire Caden, a sharp-tongued scavenger with a stubborn streak and a past wrapped in mystery, never expected her life to change the morning she woke up to blaring alarms and hit her head on a bunk. But everything shifts the moment she steps into the wasteland beside Draven Hale - her infuriatingly calm, dangerously capable team leader. Together they navigate broken cities, electrical storms, and the haunting silence left in the wake of the Arc invasions. As Claire's strange sensitivity to Arc signals grows stronger, so does the connection between her and Draven. Their chemistry sparks in bunker shelters, in firefights, and in stolen quiet moments neither of them will admit mean everything. When outposts begin to fall and a distorted transmission plays a voice identical to Claire's, the truth becomes impossible to ignore: the Arc aren't just hunting humanity. They're hunting her. Pulled between loyalty and destiny, Claire unravels the secrets of her past while trying to hold together the fragile found family that depends on her. But betrayal strikes from within, sending Draven into enemy hands and forcing Claire to face the Arc alone. What she discovers will change the course of the war - and her heart - forever. Through battles, heartbreak, sacrifice, and the hope of rebuilding something worth living for, Claire and Draven fight not just for survival, but for each other. Because in a world determined to tear itself apart, love might be the one thing powerful enough to put it back together.

    Six years ago, Zaharina Novati left the De Mevius estate and the boy who never quite asked her to stay. Now she's back-for a party, a favor, and definitely not for the green-eyed vineyard heir with a PhD in avoidance and a minor in emotional constipation. Lucien De Mevius has grown into his brooding jawline and inherited all the dysfunction a family empire can buy. But when Zara walks back into his life-in stilettos, no less-he finds himself wishing for a second chance he's not sure he deserves. Surrounded by old money, new gossip, and enough repressed feelings to warrant a Netflix miniseries, Zara and Lucien must navigate family politics, sibling sabotage, and the kind of chemistry that should be illegal in a room full of expensive crystal. She's trying to keep her distance. He's trying not to combust. And everyone else? They just want the canapés and a front-row seat to the fireworks. Six Years Between Us is a sharply funny, achingly tender story of timing gone wrong, secrets that don't stay buried, and the kind of love that refuses to be ignored-even if you're really trying.

    All Saylor wanted was a quiet life-one she could hold together with coffee, stubbornness, and the love she has for her son, Finn. She wasn't looking for anything messy, complicated, or romantic. But her best friend Marley has other plans. After one chaotic phone call, Marley decides it's her personal mission to find Saylor a man who won't waste her time or break her heart. Saylor laughs it off... until she walks into a birthday party and meets him. Knox is the kind of man who feels like a secret. Quiet eyes. Rough edges. A past he's rebuilding from the ground up. He doesn't speak much-but when he does, Saylor feels it deep in her chest. Their connection sparks fast and quietly, like heat lightning flickering on the horizon-beautiful, dangerous, impossible to ignore. But life is never that simple. Because right as Knox starts pulling her in with steady hands and slow-burn intensity, Maddox crashes into the story-loud, charming, and absolutely sure he can win her over. He's everything Knox isn't: confident, effortless, sunshine-bright. And he sees something in Saylor no one ever has. Suddenly her guarded heart is caught between a man who feels like peace... and a man who feels like fire. As the pressure builds-between motherhood, friendship, desire, and the fear of being hurt again-Saylor must face the truth she's been avoiding: She wasn't ready for love. But love might be ready for her. A story of unexpected beginnings, slow-burn tension, smoldering chemistry, and the kind of storm that changes everything-Heat Lightning proves that the heart always knows before we do.

    Prologue Kiara Westbridge University wasn't built for girls like me. Its halls were too polished, its chandeliers too crystal-clear, its students too carefully curated from old money and older legacies. Everyone here carried a last name that could open doors, bend rules, and rewrite consequences. Except me. I carried a scholarship, stitched pride, and a thousand reasons why I couldn't afford to fail. And then there was Abheer Malhotra- The crown prince of Westbridge. Heir to an empire, heart made of stone, and eyes like winter-cold, unreadable, and sharp enough to cut. He didn't talk much. Didn't need to. One glance from him was enough to silence a room. I should've stayed away. Should've just ignored him like I ignored every other ego with a trust fund and too much cologne. But no. He noticed me. And worse? He hated me. It started with a comment in class-condescending, precise. Then came the smirks, the subtle sabotages, the storm he carried with every encounter. But hate is a funny thing. It simmers, it snaps, it circles back. Until it's so close to passion, you can't tell which is which. Until the line between enemies and something else entirely starts to blur. This was never supposed to be a love story. But now I think... maybe it was always meant to be one. One set on fire. One built in broken pieces. One we never saw coming.

    The world teeters on a knife's edge. Between the High Heavens and the chaotic depths of the Abyss, humanity exists as a fragile experiment-an unstable balance between law and freedom, light and shadow. Malakai, a fallen divine messenger turned demon, has lived centuries under the weight of punishment and regret. Once tasked with delivering a "mercy killing" to an innocent human lineage, he refused-and was cast down for his defiance. Now, he maintains a tenuous balance, carrying the burden of souls he is forced to punish while keeping the fragile peace between Heaven, Hell, and humanity. Lilith, a human scholar living on the fringes of society, is a Secret Keeper-a guardian of truths the world has forgotten. In her search through ancient texts, she uncovers the Ember Scrolls, relics that reveal the High Heavens' true plan: the "Great Purification," a cataclysm designed to reset humanity, erasing free will and rewriting the fate of all mortals. When an elite squad of angels arrives to "sanitize" Lilith's city, Malakai is sent to stop her-but instead, their souls recognize a shared defiance. Malakai finds in Lilith the light he was once punished for protecting, while Lilith sees in him a truth-teller in a world built on divine lies. Together, they ignite a rebellion that shakes the foundations of the universe itself. From catacombs to the Abyss, from collapsing cities to the skies torn by angels' wrath, Malakai and Lilith face impossible odds. Humanity awakens, fragments of memory and choice collide with divine law, and even the enigmatic First Stillness begins to take notice. Love, defiance, and sacrifice intertwine in ways that could save the world-or destroy it entirely. In a universe on the brink of war, they must ask themselves: How far will they go to protect the light of free will, and can love survive when Heaven and Hell are both against them?

    The monsoon arrived like a scorned lover-violent, unannounced, drenching Mumbai. Marine Drive hissed, the Arabian Sea clawing at the city. Somewhere between Kurla's chaos and Bandra's skyline, fate waited. Priya Sharma, in a neon-yellow raincoat, dashed through puddles, balancing kande pohe and chai, teasing a vendor for unpaid snacks. Across the city, Arjun Rathod, trapped in his forty-third-floor office, shut his laptop against the ghost of his father. Investors could wait. They collided at a flooded crosswalk. Priya's chai splattered Arjun's crisp shirt; his laptop bag soaked in rain. "Are you mad?" he snapped. She grinned. "Mad? Haan. But you-" she eyed his laptop, wrinkling her nose "-look like you've never tasted sunshine." Arjun scowled. "That laptop costs more than your existence." Unfazed, she shoved soggy kande pohe into his hands. "Compensation. Spicy enough to melt that face." And then, she vanished. Nearby, a street kid giggled. "Bhaiyya, you look like a Balaji serial villain." Arjun didn't smile. His laptop was dead-like the part of him that once believed in monsoons, miracles, and mad girls in yellow raincoats. Somewhere in Colaba, Priya pinned a sketch to her wall: a brooding man with storm-cloud eyes, drowned in chai. She titled it Grumpy vs. Monsoon: Round 1.

    He tugged at her lower lip, just a feather of a touch that Lea barely felt. Before she knew what she was doing she reached up into it, her hands sliding up to cup his jaw. Alex sucked in a breadth and pulled back, just a slightest bit. Lea's hand slid up and entwined with the hair at his nape while the other rested on his chest. He searched her face with glazed eyes, and with a sudden curse he swung her around. He pushed Lea against the shelf, his body covering hers. Her back dug in the wood and the spines of the books. Alex gathered her face, and kissed her with such intensity that her mind went momentarily black. They had began as a slow simmer, and turned into a raging fire. I wish I could tell you this was like a Jane Austen novel with the classic happy ending. It's not. It's a story that will break your heart, and piece it back together again. A story about a boy and a girl... And a group of master assassins, a few criminal lords, judgmental girls in dresses, Pirates, an angry German with a Scythe. And the lie that connects them all.
