    ᴀʟᴅᴇɢᴜᴇʀ sᴇʀɪᴇs 1 Virelle Aria Aldeguer is known for chaos, rebellious, impulsive, and always at the center of every scandal she claims she didn't start. As the only daughter of a governor, means rules were made for her... and rules were meant to be broken. She has lived a life where she gets what she wants... until one mistake puts her father's name at risk. To control the damage, she is placed under a strict arrangement of supervision. Gabriel Isaiah Hernandez, a disciplined scholar from La Ezcoraza University, is assigned to watch over her. He is everything she is not. Calm, controlled, and unwavering in following rules.

    Vespera Rosier was raised to be perfect. Ominis Gaunt doesn't believe in perfection. They clash. They misread each other. They keep choosing the wrong moment, the wrong words, the wrong distance. And still, they don't stop. A slow burn that refuses to be kind.

    Crystal stopped singing the day her mother died. Now her safe place is between the lines of her notebook, where feelings turn into songs no one hears... until Fate starts acting like it has too much free time on its hands. She thought she had everything under control. She was so wrong. Just when Ryan - her first real high school crush - finally starts to notice her- Steven walks into her life - the new boy in town, a musician with reckless charm who feels like chaos with good intentions. He plays in Night Vice, the school band everyone is suddenly talking about. She wasn't supposed to be there that night. But one concert, one moment backstage too close to him... and suddenly, she's caught in something she never agreed to feel. Because Steven has a way of making moments happen - and changing everything after. And walking away... only seems to bring them closer. As a major label begins paying attention to Night Vice, one rehearsal video turns Crystal into hallway conversation overnight. A public humiliation shifts alliances. One reckless bet goes further than it should. She's suddenly pushed toward a music competition she never intended to enter - and caught between Steven's ex and Ryan's very present girlfriend - both making sure she knows exactly where she stands. And when a song she wrote doesn't stay hers, Crystal may just discover that growing up isn't choosing between two boys... but choosing between who she is and who she can become. She slowly starts rediscovering again her voice in school hallways, in glances held a moment too long, and in the notes that weave their lives together, right where she least expected - among people who believe in her more than she believes in herself. Vibrato isn't just a coming of age musical romance. It's the first note in a series of slow-burn romance with high-impact emotional beats. Thank you for reading. 💚 New chapters drop every Wednesday & Saturday - stay with me. 🌙🎶

    Set several years after the series finale of Introducing Me, Neal and Kent officially pass the torch to their daughter/Niece Giselle Davis as she steps into her own spotlight. Determined to chase a dream that's bigger than her comfort zone, Giselle transfers to the elite Tharpe-Armour Boarding School in the high-class city of Potomac, Maryland-a world of privilege, pressure, and impossible expectations. At Tharpe-Armour, excellence isn't encouraged-it's demanded. As one of the few scholarship students and an emerging Olympic-level gymnast, Giselle must prove she belongs while balancing brutal training schedules, academic rigor, and the unspoken social hierarchy that comes with wealth and legacy. Surrounded by a tight-knit but imperfect group of friends, Giselle navigates the ups and downs of first love, fractured friendships, jealousy, ambition, and self-identity. Every victory comes with sacrifice, every misstep with consequences-on the mat and off it. As the pressure mounts and the stakes rise, Giselle's journey becomes more than chasing gold medals. It's about learning who she is without her parents' shadow, what she's willing to risk for greatness, and how to hold onto the people she loves when everything is pushing her to choose herself first. This is a story about legacy, resilience, and becoming-where growing up means learning when to hold on, when to let go, and when to take the leap anyway.

    I had ninety days left to live. So I decided I wouldn't let anyone get close-no attachments, no memories, nothing that would hurt when I'm gone. Then I met Teetee. He was everything I tried to avoid-loud, warm, impossible to ignore. And no matter how much I pushed him away, he stayed. Somewhere along the way, I forgot I was dying... and started living like I had time. I didn't. And now the only thing I'm afraid of isn't death- it's leaving him behind.

    Kriti has always known how to survive. She learned it in quiet rooms where no one had time to notice tears. She learned it in classrooms where she felt smaller than everyone else. She learned it in silence. Then she found something she never thought she would have. A home. A family. And a person who felt like safety. Dhruv was never loud in her life. He was simply there. Steady. Certain. Unshakable. Years later, she still has everything she once prayed for. A successful career. A house filled with familiar voices. But some silences grow heavier with time. Some names linger in the spaces between heartbeats. And sometimes love is not loud or dramatic. Sometimes it is quiet. Patient. Waiting. Waiting to be chosen. Waiting to be understood. Waiting to be returned. In a life that once felt borrowed, Kriti must face a question she never thought she would ask: How long can you hold on to something... before you realize you were the only one holding? -Rosie ❤️‍🔥

    He arrived like he had always belonged there. But the strange thing wasn't that no one knew him... it was how no one asked. Except me. And I should have learned from the way the rain stopped when he looked at me. He didn't have a name anyone remembered. No history. No family. No trace of where he came from. Only the light reacted when he arrived. And for some reason, I couldn't stop watching him... even when everything in me said to look away. Some people bring darkness into a town. He brought light.

    Jessie has loved Warren since she was sixteen. Eight years. One flat. Too many apologies. And a version of herself that got smaller every year. She finally leaves. New city. New job. New people who don't know who she used to be. Then Warren's mum gets diagnosed with terminal cancer. Now he's calling at midnight. Saying he misses her. Saying he's changed. Saying he still loves her. And Jessie? She's not heartless. She's just not sure she loves him the same way anymore. Because there's also Max. A grounded pilot with secrets, grief he doesn't talk about, and a way of looking at her like she isn't something to manage. He doesn't need fixing. He doesn't need saving. He just sees her. But healing isn't linear. Grief blurs lines. History has weight. And sometimes you kiss someone you thought you'd outgrown. This is the year Jessie stops shrinking. The year she chooses herself. The year she realises love should feel steady... not like survival. The year that changed her.

    Emilia "Lia" Monroe took the vineyard job on a whim-just one summer to build her name and move on. She's spent her whole life in kitchens, from her mom's diner to backbreaking shifts and borrowed time. This was supposed to be the next step, not a distraction. Beckett Hale isn't looking for surprises. After inheriting the family vineyard, he's poured everything into keeping it afloat-and keeping his distance. Controlled. Cold. That's how he survives. When they meet, it's anything but easy. They clash in the kitchen, challenge each other at every turn-and still, something pulls them closer. Is it tension or something deeper? Is this just another summer job... or the start of something neither of them planned?

    Years after graduating from UA, becoming Pro Heroes was supposed to change everything. Real missions. Real villains. Real lives to save. That was supposed to be the hard part. It wasn't. Because no battle has ever hurt more than loving someone who only knows how to push you away. "i've known you my whole life... so why does loving you feel like losing you?" YN, Bakugo, and Midoriya grew up side by side-through training, rivalry, broken promises, and feelings that were never given the chance to exist. Now they're older. Stronger. More damaged than they let anyone see, they are heroes, the ones who help, never the ones who need help, right? Bakugo acts like he wants nothing to do with her. Like every word she says is a mistake. Like getting close to him is the one thing she should've learned not to do. And every time he pulls away, it feels like being abandoned all over again. Forced to work together, the distance between them starts cracking under the weight of everything they never said. Old wounds reopen. Jealousy turns ugly. Silence becomes cruel. And the line between love and hate is really thin Because falling for katsuki bakugo is an awful idea

    When Professor Juniper Sallow unexpectedly accepts the position of new Herbology assistant at Hogwarts, she expects soil, solitude, and the quiet company of things that grow toward the light. Instead, she finds a castle that listens, plants that remember-and a colleague far too observant to be harmless. Beneath the chatter of students and the hum of old magic stirs a cold pulse under the greenhouses, one even Dumbledore avoids. Set against the backdrop of *Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone*, this story explores the spaces between canon-staff meetings, patrols, and the slow awakening of two people who understand silence better than safety. A slow burn of intellect, distrust, and unspoken loyalty. "Harmless," she says. The earth knows better. Updates: Wednesdays & Saturdays, 8pm (CET)

    When Georgia Hart drives back through the tree-lined roads of her childhood hometown, the golden leaves whisper a truth she's not ready to face. Everything looks the same, and yet nothing is. Once a bright-eyed kindergarten teacher, Georgia returns home searching for something steady after a season of loss and restlessness. What she doesn't expect to find is Richard Ellis, the quiet boy she grew up with. He's older now, broader in the shoulders, and still carrying that easy, disarming charm she never quite forgot. Years ago, their friendship had always skirted the edges of something more with glances that lingered too long, conversations that felt like secrets. But life moved forward, pulling them in different directions. Now, with her father's recent death the family's orchard needs tending, her mother urging her to stay and help. Now Georgia finds herself working alongside Richard once more. Between the hum of bees and the scent of ripe apples, old feelings stir like leaves in the wind. Richard's teasing smile hides a tenderness he can't quite name and Georgia's heart begins to thaw beneath the warmth of his handsome features and steady devotion. As autumn deepens, the two must decide if what they once left behind was just youthful affection... or the beginning of a love that never really ended. A story of coming home, healing, and rediscovering grace. "Where Love Took Root" is a tender, slow-blooming romance reminding us that sometimes the heart doesn't move on... it waits.

    Years have passed, and the echoes of the past still linger in the corners of their hearts. Heeseung, Sunghoon, and those closest to them have rebuilt their lives in different ways-some chasing success, some chasing peace, and some chasing forgiveness. But the shadows of old mistakes, unspoken regrets, and fragile love refuse to stay buried. Now, they must face the consequences of choices they made long ago, navigate the delicate threads between love and guilt, and discover if what was once broken can ever be whole again. A story of second chances, painful truths, and the quiet, enduring ache of hearts that refuse to forget. It's highly recommended to read Book 1: "Caged" first to fully understand the depth of their relationships and the weight of the past.

    Ella Quinn didn't plan on becoming a ghost, just ended up that way. Ghostwriting her stolen thesis. Ghosting dates that turned to disasters.

His new girlfriend is shiny and perfect and entirely unbothered by ethics.

An anonymous message. A question about AI. A connection she didn't ask for but slowly begins to crave. Whoever he is, he listens. He challenges her. He sees the brilliance no one else bothers to notice anymore.

What begins as friendship turns into something deeper through small moments, quiet understanding, and unspoken emotions. In the end, it's not about grand confessions-but about finding comfort, trust, and love where you least expect it. _____ . This book is a work of fiction intended for entertainment purposes only.

None of this happened - except maybe in dreams, hearts, and quiet moments between chapters of real life. Every word is fiction, but every feeling is true. ❤️

    In the small, whisper-tight town of Silverlake, and Silverlake Academy is the brightest (and only) claim to fame, two prodigies are about to collide. Ainsley Rowe arrives with perfect grades, perfect manners, and the unbearable perfect expectations of her Professor father. Painfully shy and desperate to stay unnoticed, she somehow manages to outshine everyone, including Kai Han, Silverlake Academy's golden boy scholar and basketball star. For Kai, who scholarship is the only thing keeping his family afloat, Ainsley's arrival is a threat he can't afford. When a school assignment traps them together in the library's storage room, their rivalry cracks open to reveal something neither of them expected: fear, pressure and dreams they're both terrified of losing. What begins with anger and accusations slowly shift into stolen glances, shared study sessions, and a fragile connection neither know how to name. But Silverlake has shadows Ainsley never imagined, shadows Kai has been fighting in secret. When she uncovers the truth behind his late-night disappearances, their blooming romance is shaken to its core. Now Ainsley must decide if she's brave enough to stand by him... and Kai must decide if he's worthy of being loved at all.
