When she finds herself living in the orbit of Hermann Ranta, Norwegian rock musician and the most quietly devastating person she has ever met, she learns that proximity to a dream is its own complicated country.

They met as strangers. Paris made them something else. Leo (19) and Mira (19) arrive in Paris as part of a group trip, expecting nothing more than fleeting moments and shared memories with people they'll soon forget. But in the quiet spaces between crowded streets and glowing nights, they find each other. A glance that lasts too long. A conversation that feels too personal. A pull neither of them planned for. As the city lights soften and boundaries begin to blur, what starts as curiosity turns into tension-and tension into desire. With every night spent wandering Paris, Leo and Mira grow closer, discovering that some connections don't need time to feel real, only honesty and the courage to choose each other. Under Paris, After Dark is a sensual, slow-burn romance about strangers becoming lovers, love found far from home, and the kind of connection that deepens when you stop running from it. Sometimes, the most unforgettable love stories begin when you're not looking for them.

In a world that moves too fast, "When We Were Us" captures the essence of love that once felt eternal. It's a story about two souls who once shared everything - dreams, laughter, and moments of perfect harmony. But life has a way of changing things. Time passes, circumstances shift, and slowly, the connection that was once so strong begins to fade. "When We Were Us" takes us through the nostalgic journey of a love that existed in simpler times, where every moment felt like it could last forever. But as responsibilities, growing up, and life's inevitable challenges step in, both partners must face the reality that love isn't always enough to keep two people together. This story is about remembering the feeling of being truly seen, heard, and loved - and questioning what happens when that love begins to slip away. Through moments of heartache, joy, and reflection, the characters must navigate their individual paths, all while holding on to the memories of who they were when they were truly "us." In the end, "When We Were Us" isn't just about lost love; it's about rediscovering the beauty in who we were and learning how to move forward, even when the past seems to hold us captive.

Ghosts of a Quiet Town What if the love of your life was the one you never confessed to? Years after college, Aurelia finds herself wandering the cobbled streets of a quiet European town-one filled with mist, memories, and the man she once tried to forget. Darian. They were best friends who never crossed the line. Who smoked secrets into the sky and spoke in silences only they understood. Back when she was with his friend. Back when they thought timing was their only enemy. But time passed. So did people. And now, fate brings them back to the same town, older but not over it. In the stillness of cafes and secondhand bookstores, in conversations that almost say too much, Ghosts of a Quiet Town explores the ache of the almost, the weight of unsaid words, and what happens when you meet the person who always felt like home-after you've both changed beyond recognition. A slow-burn second-chance love story. Soft. Poetic. Romantic. Self-healing. New chapters every day.
