When she agrees to tutor the university's star basketball player for forty dollars an hour, she's only thinking about one thing-the money. What she doesn't expect is Kenji Nakamura: 6'5" of tattoos, silence, and ego wrapped in a designer hoodie. He's used to girls falling at his feet. She charges him a late fee. He wants her number. She Venmo requests him instead. He's never had to work for anyone's attention. She's never had time to give it. Kenji doesn't do feelings. He does highlights, endorsements, and whatever it takes to make it to the NBA. But Destiny Morrison-with her sharp tongue, her bonnets, and her complete lack of interest in his fame-is the first person who's ever looked at him and seen just... a guy. And that terrifies him. Because for the first time in his life, Kenji Nakamura is falling first. And falling 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘥. 𝐒𝐡𝐞'𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝. 𝐇𝐞'𝐬 𝐨𝐛𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝. 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐧𝐞𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲'𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠.

    Eleanor Hayes never expected to become an actress. At twenty-one, she's just finished a Biology degree, moved back in with her parents and is desperately applying for graduate jobs when an email arrives about an audition she'd almost completely forgotten about. Months earlier, on a whim, Ellie had propped her phone against her uni desk and submitted a self-tape for the television adaptation of All the Wrong Reasons - one of her favourite romance books. No agent. No training. No experience. Just a character she understood a little too well. Then she gets the part. Opposite Finley Dawson. Finn is twenty-two, slightly more experienced, and just as unprepared for what comes next. Their chemistry is instant on camera, easy off it, and before long they're playing out one of television's most addictive love stories while trying very hard not to blur the line between acting and reality. When All the Wrong Reasons becomes an overnight phenomenon, fans become obsessed with Maddie and Logan - and even more obsessed with the two actors playing them. Ellie and Finn insist they're only friends. For a while, they're even telling the truth. But when season two brings them back together, with more intimate scenes, more attention and feelings neither of them managed to leave behind, pretending might become the hardest role either of them has ever had to play. They played lovers first. Everything after that was off script.

    Until the Secrets Find Us Kiara Khanna has always been the good daughter. The one who listens. The one who compromises. The one who never says no. Until she meets **Aviraj Malhotra**. Cold. Intimidating. Unreadable. The kind of man everyone warns her to stay away from. Their families have already decided what their futures should look like, but Kiara has never been good at choosing herself-and Aviraj has never been good at letting people get close. Then an old secret resurfaces. A secret buried for twenty-six years. A mysterious necklace. A dangerous man who was never truly gone. A family that has spent decades hiding the truth. And a past that threatens to destroy everything Kiara and Aviraj are beginning to feel for each other. As the lines between love, loyalty, and fear begin to blur, Kiara is forced to make the one choice she's spent her entire life avoiding: Does she continue living the life everyone chose for her... or finally choose her own? Because sometimes love isn't about finding someone who makes your life perfect. Sometimes it's about finding the person who gives you a reason to stay. A romance thriller about secrets, family, fear, healing and two people who refuse to let their past decide their future.

    THE LAST SUMMER WE REMEMBER They loved each other before they learned how to forgive each other. Han Seo-yun has always believed that the safest way to live is to depend on herself. She doesn't like being pitied, doesn't easily trust people, and has learned to hide the things that hurt behind sarcasm and stubbornness. Then Do-hyun becomes part of her life. What starts with unexpected encounters, quiet conversations, teasing, and two cups of coffee slowly turns into something neither of them planned for. But getting closer to someone also means getting closer to the things they would rather forget. Behind the moments that make them laugh are memories they don't talk about, questions that have never been answered, and a past that refuses to stay where they left it. As Seo-yun tries to understand what she wants from her own life, she finds herself caught between the person she was, the person she wants to become, and the person who keeps reminding her of everything she tried to leave behind. Because love doesn't always erase the past. Sometimes, it brings you face-to-face with it. And when old wounds, family secrets, and revenge begin to surface, Seo-yun and Do-hyun will have to discover whether what they feel for each other is strong enough to survive the truth. THE LAST SUMMER WE REMEMBER is a contemporary romance with mystery, family drama, revenge, slow-burn tension, emotional moments, and two people learning that forgiveness can be harder than falling in love.

He simply has dreams of his own-and he's determined to chase them, even if they take him somewhere Keziah can't follow. They were never supposed to become that close. But somewhere between late-night conversations, stolen glances in crowded hallways, school assemblies, arguments over the smallest things, and moments neither of them knows how to name, Keziah and Julian become something neither of them planned for. Something real. Until the future they've been imagining starts pulling them in different directions. Because sometimes loving someone isn't enough to make two people stay. And sometimes, even after everything ends, a part of you is still waiting- somewhere between what you were and what you could have been.
