Liliana "Lily" Hamill is just your average working woman. 5'5" with wavy brown hair the color of milk chocolate and blue eyes, she's never been described by anyone as "a catch." She's pretty enough, what with her athletic frame and well-proportioned face. She rises every day, runs almost every morning, and gets ready for work just like many twenty-something-year-olds in the United States. She's been working mostly in the marketing department at Andino Incorporated since she graduated from a college in Texas at twenty-one, and she's lived in New York City for the past two. She doesn't think she's anyone special. But she is, because Lily has been blind since birth, although her disability has never held her back. That burden has fallen on her insecurities. Now, though, she's attempting to face her fears. Her closest childhood friend, Joseph Montran, has invited her to a company social event, and Lily grudgingly has agreed to go. All she knows is that it's informal, that she and her guide dog, Chelise, can mostly hang out with Joe and his wife, Katherine, if that's what Lily wants, and that she shouldn't be afraid to "act natural." What she doesn't know is that social event will change her life forever. //// I KEEP EDITING AS I'M WRITING. I'm sorry to anyone who gets updates for old parts to which I make minor grammatical changes. Don't kill me. c:

"I'm going to take care of you and the kids, Grace." Oh. I just...I get this feeling within me that just warms me throughout. "You already are, Joe." "I know, but I mean in a different way. I've been doing that as an outsider. I'd like to be a part of your family." "Joseph...you've been a part of our family for years. We've never thought of you in any other way." It's the truth. His eyebrows raise and he stares at me for a while. Then he nods. I smile gently and he kisses my cheek again then gives me a smoldering look. "Thank you." He brings one of my hands to his lips, pressing a kiss to it, his eyes still fixed on mine. My breath catches with the intensity there. "I love you, Grace." The sincerity in his words are as clear as day. All at once, I feel so incredibly grateful to have him in my life and I find tears springing up. His gaze softens as he sees them. Ordinarily I would try to hide this obvious sign of vulnerability, but I don't. There's no reason to with him. "I love you too." He smiles gently and then turns his head towards my hand still on his face, pressing a tender kiss to my palm. ~~~ This is an age gap interracial (bwwm) Christian romance that involves Joe, a widower, and Grace, a widow of six years and family friend. Joe has just lost his wife and Grace is there for him as he works through a grief that she is unfortunately familiar with. As the years go by and he continues to heal, their friendship develops into something more.

This is part two of my "Saturn is not too far" clean Romance story. Prior has found her place at Kashion's side-but in the palace, she is far from accepted by everyone.

At the same time, scientists are working under intense pressure on developments whose consequences no one can fully predict.

This is a written version of the tv show Love Island, with some tweaks and stuff to make it more believable. It is told completely from the pov of one character, and it is written as thoughts in their head, which is why the style is a little unconventional. I know parts of it are silly, and I know I've made some continuity mistakes, however I am trying to push through this as fast as I can with as little editing as possible, because of the thoughts process mentioned above. Criticism is welcome, please don't hold back (within reason), and I hope you enjoy. (Adding chapter titles only after chapter 67 was done because I never thought I could actually make good ones)

To Leith Dyer, life is best kept in lists, edits, and carefully placed boundaries. As a columnist at Marigold, she's built a career out of writing low-stakes lifestyle pieces while quietly keeping her own awkward, clumsy life safely out of reach. Her new assignment changes that: nine first dates, documented in real time for one of the most-read features on the site. According to her boss Irene, finally something with stakes. Leith agrees to the experiment with one rule: she only goes on the dates as research. But in a workplace where everything becomes content and every connection has an audience, even distance is hard to maintain. Especially when Callum, her boss's quietly indispensable cousin, keeps showing up in the margins, becoming the one variable she never agreed to include. As the nine dates unfold, Leith starts noticing a pattern she can't edit out: the more she writes about connection, the less certain she is about the version she's performing and the one she actually wants. And when readers begin to notice Callum too, turning him into a story of their own, the line between author and subject begins to blur in ways she can't control. A contemporary workplace romance about visibility, authorship, and the uncomfortable truth that some stories don't stay within the boundaries you set for them.

But as memories of her forgotten past begin resurfacing, she can't help but wonder: "Am I truly worthy?"

Now Aiden, Calida, and their new friends are caught between a rock and a hard place.

[completed] Nova Carter knows exactly what the next few years of her life will look like: she will work harder than anyone else (as she didn't get into New York University to slack off); she'll be keeping her head down and prioritizing getting her affairs in order; and she'll ultimately make her parents proud by being the living proof of anyone with a disability being able to make their dreams come true. Little does she know that her carefully planned path is about to take a detour into the extraordinary. After all, she hadn't quite anticipated befriending the son of famous billionaire Sergei Macarevich on the first day of her orientation week, nor meeting the son of equally famous billionaire Hudson Wilder that same night. And she definitely hadn't anticipated tumbling right into the inner circle of New York's elite (disability, clumsiness, inexperience and all). As Nova navigates this new life, she finds herself forming an unconventional family around her. With her childhood best friend by her side, Nova immerses herself in the lives of her newfound wealthy friends, an exuberant roommate, and a spirited group of NYU's disabled rebels led by their eccentric counselor - finding love in forms she'd never dreamed of on her way. A romantic, heart-warming and diverse coming-of-age with a Spotify playlist and characters' social media posts.

Amara Monroe is not the kind of woman who stops moving. She is a graduate student, a business owner, a daughter, and a caretaker all at once, and she handles every single role with the kind of quiet discipline that most people never see because she does not ask them to. Her life runs on early mornings, tight budgets, and the deep belief that doing things the right way matters even when no one is watching. Kit Wattanakul is a Thai-American chef who built his Atlanta restaurant on the same principle. Disciplined. Intentional. Rooted in the culture and family that shaped him. He is not a man who does things carelessly. Which makes it all the more complicated when one unexpected afternoon puts Amara in his orbit and neither of them can quite find their way back to the distance they started with. This is not a story about two people who fall recklessly into each other. It is a story about two people who feel something real and choose, again and again, to handle it with honesty and care. About what it costs to want something you are not yet free to reach for. About family duty and cultural identity and the particular courage it takes to build love on a foundation that can actually hold. Set against the copper and gold of an Atlanta autumn, Eyes on You is a slow burn that earns every degree of heat. No shortcuts. No compromise. Just two people deciding that something worth having is worth doing right. ©️ _RelleLebby_// R. L.
