With her many unlikely allies , Celeste must navigate court intrigue all while maintaining the precise etiquette expected of a young lady in society. The ancient stones of Dale Doveland hold memories in their crystalline matrices, and Celeste's quest to unravel their secrets will challenge everything she believes about power, tradition, and the price of progress.

Florist, Anya is determined that this will be the year her career blooms like the sweet jasmines she's tended to. She's in for a rude shock when she rents a building only to find out that it's been given to gorgeous and confident Kaynath, who owns her family confectionery. Kaynath never intended to get in her way to jeopardize her business but it's not her fault that the town has come to adore her sweets and chosen her. Recruiting the help of Mirza, her long time best friend, who runs a Bridal boutique, she vows to take over the building and make her business flourish. Mirza doesn't want to be caught in their drama, especially since Kaynath is her regular customer and she adores her best friend. She proposes that whoever makes the most sales after a month gets to keep the building permanently, which they both oblige to. Anya soon finds out that maybe she's got a sweet tooth not just for one, but maybe two people after all, if she can handle the secrets under the sweet sugar glaze and glamorous veils.

❝A gender-switched, urban Cinderella Retelling❞ Violette Murphy had everything, but now she has nothing at all. The death of her best friend has left her life dangling at the edge of a thread, threatening to break apart at any moment. However, when presented with an opportunity to go to her school's masquerade ball, she can't help but take it up. The sole reason for her going was to take her mind off of her disastrous existence; she most certainly did not expect to develop an unlikely friendship with a socially-awkward boy. Hidden behind their masks, they form a connection that neither of them expects can happen. But at twelve o'clock, her mask comes off. And at twelve o'clock, the boy runs away. [ This is a rewrite of the original novel I wrote when I was much younger, with better characterization and plot structure ]

❖ When a sentient planet turns hostile after 150 years of quiet, two rival research groups must join forces to find out why---and to stop it before it kills the people who call it home. ❖ For five generations, Jenu has been a shining example of planetary colonization done right. Its surface boasts three cities---with a fourth on its way---and its history of amiable weather and hospitable citizens land it high scores on livability indices. The people who live there love it dearly. Lingmei Liu sees a different picture. In recent years, violent dust storms on the planet have been on the rise, threatening the cities' aging infrastructure. Just why is a mystery, but one clue looms large: Jenu is conscious, and might be able to control its surface weather. Commissioned to investigate, Lingmei and her scientific colleagues team up with a rival research group to put data and sense to Jenu's vagaries. What starts out as a simple study, though, soon veers into politics, the media, and shady business practices that may or may not be connected to the planet's new behavior. And all the while, the storms keep building. As half-answers multiply, three core questions remain in the scientists' hands: Can Jenu's cities be convinced to take action to protect themselves? Is the planet sending its own storms to strike those cities? And if so, why? ❖ ❖ ❖ Complete. Patreon exclusive. Free sample on Wattpad.
