    Elara arrives in a quiet coastal town carrying a grief she does not speak about. The town watches closely, remembering houses, names, and histories long after people believe they have moved on. Rowan is the boy everyone avoids but never forgets. Noah is the one who offers warmth without questions. Between whispered observations, half-spoken truths, and a lighthouse that refuses to stop shining, Elara begins to realize that being seen is not the same as being known-and that some stories only reveal themselves when you stop running from them. A slow-burn story about memory, loss, and the quiet choices that change us.

    She doesn't fear death. He treats life like something sacred. An INTJ woman raised on distance and control. An ENFJ man shaped by faith, warmth, and staying. And an ENFP boy who stayed when the world didn't - becoming family long before love ever arrived. Goa wasn't on the itinerary. It was a collision. Some safars change where you go. Some safars quietly decide who you survive as. Safar is a love story - not everyone's, not forever, not safely.

    A Southern gothic reimagining of Wuthering Heights. No prior knowledge of the original book necessary. Content note: One weirdly erotic scene (not explicit) + some light cussin'. * * * Cathy Earnshaw is engaged to a decent and thoroughly respectable man. The party at his family's South Carolina estate is everything she's dreamed of - champagne glasses glinting under string lights, Spanish moss drifting in the sultry breeze - until Heathcliff shows up. Four years he's been gone. They used to run wild in the woods behind her family home, drawing blood and making promises no one else would understand. Now he's returned, hardened and hollow. When he ruptures the smooth surface of her genteel world, Edgar and his friends don't know how to handle him. But Cathy does.

    Charlotte is escaping expectations. Matthew is searching for lost music. They first glimpse each other on a train to Birchwood-and spend a spring circling each other in a village where dahlias bloom in colors no one predicted and time moves slower than anywhere else. She's staying with her grandparents, planting tubers that won't reveal themselves until August. He's researching a forgotten composer's piano manuscripts, hoping the quiet will help him finish his dissertation-or maybe remember how to create something of his own. They keep almost meeting. A glance on a platform. A near-miss on a village street. A moment in the forest where their hands brush reaching for the same pair of binoculars. In Birchwood, nothing is rushed. Not the seasons. Not the garden. And not two people slowly discovering that what they've been running toward might be each other. A cozy slow-burn romance about finding where you belong.

    🌙 Only the Moon Knows Catalina Solís arrives in Willow Hollow like a burst of color paint on her hands, flowers in her arms, and a heart too loud for a town that lives in silence. Silas Creed speaks little. A solitary carpenter, he builds with wood, not words, and keeps his heart locked behind quiet routines and long nights. What begins as friction turns into something softer: shared glances, lingering pauses, love spoken without sound. But in a town that resists change, Catalina's light threatens to uncover truths meant to stay buried. ✨ A slow-burn, lyrical romance about a radiant woman, a guarded man, and the love that blooms when silence finally listens. © 2026 Savannah Selene.

    Some names are easy. Some names are chosen. Some names are never meant to be spoken until everything is ready to change. Rowan Hale believes that language is intimacy - that the words you use can keep someone close or push them quietly away. Lucas Whitaker doesn't think much about names at all, until he realises there are some he's afraid to say, and one boy he's terrified of losing. Set over the slow shift from summer into autumn, *What We Called Each Other* is a soft, slow-burn boys' love story about proximity, silence, and the weight carried by the things left unsaid. Through borrowed clothes, shared nights, and the careful shelter of nicknames, Rowan and Lucas learn how closeness can exist long before it's named - and how one word, spoken at the wrong moment, can change everything. This is a story about almosts and accidents. About learning when language becomes truth. And about how sometimes, love begins not with what you say - but with what you dare to call each other when it finally matters. Trigger Warnings / Content Notes * Gender dysphoria (non-graphic, internal) * Miscommunication * Emotional vulnerability * Fear of rejection * Mild internalised anxiety (No explicit sexual content. Romance remains tender, emotional, and PG-13.) Transphobia, misgendering, or debates about trans people's legitimacy will be deleted. This space is for respectful discussion only.

    ~a love story without recognition Elara Hawthorne leaves home searching for healing, unaware that distance would lead her back into love-and forgetting.

And she finds someone who shows her the world with gentleness, someone who makes her believe that pain can fade with time. Until he pushes her back into a fall she never expected to survive. She gathers herself through tears, waiting-believing-that he will return. Only to realize that to him, she was never something to remember. Stabbed by forgetting rather than goodbye, Elara is left with a choice: Will she open the same book and read it again, or finally close the chapter that never learned her name? by N&A

    Book Description Kinsley Hart has done everything right. Raised on discipline and expectation, educated at the best schools, and forged into one of New York's most formidable corporate attorneys, she has built a life defined by success, control, and earned authority. At thirty-four, she has the corner office, the respect, and the future she was trained to achieve. What she doesn't have is love. For years, Kinsley told herself she would want it later-after the next milestone, after the next victory, after she proved she could stand alone. But quiet lunches in the park, long nights in an immaculate apartment, and an ache she can no longer ignore begin to tell her the truth: independence doesn't erase longing. When she meets a man who listens instead of orbiting, who hesitates not out of disinterest but care, Kinsley faces a question she has avoided her entire life-how long do you wait for someone to speak clearly, and when do you finally ask for what you need? Talk to Me is a modern, emotionally intelligent romance about ambition, vulnerability, and the courage it takes to stop reading between the lines. It is a story for anyone who has built a life alone, believing love would cost too much-until they realize clarity, not sacrifice, is what love truly requires. Powerful, intimate, and deeply relatable, Talk to Me explores what happens when a woman who has mastered everything finally chooses connection-and speaks her life into being.

    THE NAMES WE OUTGREW by winter-fire Some loves do not end. They simply stop being places you can live. On the eve of his wedding, Nikolai is confronted with a truth he believed had been buried for years. Letters once lost to silence resurface, revealing that the woman he mourned never stopped loving him-and that the life he painstakingly rebuilt may have been founded on a misunderstanding that was never his to make. Caught between two women who embody different forms of survival-one forged in fire and ambition, the other in patience and quiet devotion-Nikolai must face a question with no merciful answer: Is love defined by the passion that first breaks us, or by the steady presence that teaches us how to endure? Told through shifting perspectives and steeped in imagery of winter, memory, and restraint, The Names We Outgrew is a literary exploration of grief, gratitude, and the cost of becoming whole-asking what it means to choose a future when the past refuses to remain silent.

    Some loves end. Others stay buried in the land. Drawn back to the ruins of Wuthering Heights, a grieving young woman encounters the echoes of a love that destroyed itself through obsession and pride. As the past begins to speak, she must decide whether longing is fate-or a lesson meant to be survived. A haunting reimagining of Wuthering Heights about love, loss, and the courage to choose yourself. Some places remember what people try to forget. When grief pulls a young woman back to the ruins of Wuthering Heights, she expects silence. What she finds instead are echoes-of a love that burned too fiercely, of names the wind still carries, of two souls who mistook obsession for devotion. As the past presses closer, she is forced to confront her own heartbreak and the quiet ways love can haunt long after it ends. Through whispered conversations with memory and myth, she learns that longing does not always mean destiny-and that choosing yourself can be the bravest act of all. The Moor Does Not Forget is a haunting, lyrical reimagining of Wuthering Heights, where love is examined not as a grand tragedy, but as a warning-one the land itself refuses to let fade. Author's Note✨ This story is not a retelling meant to replace Wuthering Heights, but a conversation with it. I wanted to explore what that kind of love looks like when viewed from the outside-when obsession is no longer romanticized, but examined honestly. If you've ever confused intensity for destiny, this story is for you. Thank you for reading.

    Two of the nation's brightest minds, Aurelia Blackwood and Sebastian Ashford, are sworn intellectual enemies, born into powerful dynasties yet fiercely determined to carve their own paths. Brilliant, ruthless, and magnetically opposed, their rivalry ignites in public debates, sabotaged lectures, and a war of wits that leaves both colleagues and students spellbound. Sparks fly, tempers flare, and a curse buried in centuries-old family bloodlines whispers that their destined love could lead to destruction. When circumstances force them into a legally binding marriage of convenience, Aurelia and Sebastian must navigate a labyrinth of family betrayals, sibling schemes, and public scrutiny-all while contending with a magnetic chemistry that refuses to stay contained. With fake amnesia, cleverly misdirected engagements, and "too hot to touch" proximity, every interaction becomes a high-stakes dance of intellect, desire, and survival. As secrets unravel and passions ignite, Aurelia and Sebastian confront the ultimate choice: embrace love despite the danger it brings, or risk losing everything to the legacy of their families' curse. When Two Minds Clash is a slow-burn, sensual, and intellectually charged epic-where love is as dangerous as it is irresistible, and every battle of the mind is matched by the fierce pull of the heart.
