Snowbound Stories

He saw her pain. She never looked at him. A single, miserable business trip. A storm. A single bed. For years, Evelyn Reed was the quiet, organized fixture at Sterling Corp, engaged to her ambitious coworker, Mark. Now, she's the office pariah-betrayed by Mark and her best-friend-turned-rival, Sarah, and labeled the jealous, unstable "other woman" in a lie they meticulously spun. Evelyn is broken, scorned, and desperate to disappear. Her salvation comes in the form of a dreaded factory inspection trip to the remote north, led by her ice-cold, supremely capable CEO, Julian Sterling. Julian is formidable, intensely private, and commands silence with a single glance. He sees the storm raging behind Evelyn's carefully constructed walls, but she refuses to meet his gaze. The plane ride is tense, but the landing is disastrous. Stranded by a sudden, brutal snowstorm in an unequipped rural town, they are forced into close quarters. No clothes, no heat, just one small room with one shared bed in a forgotten inn. Julian, the man who owns corporations, is suddenly just a man-warm, protective, and determined to keep her alive. The night they spend fighting hypothermia rips down all their professional boundaries. When the morning comes, everything has changed, and Evelyn discovers the man she ran from might be the only man who truly sees her. He said he'd take responsibility. She had to decide if she could take a chance.

❄️ He was sent to kill a cult. Instead, he met a god who remembered his soul. America is a monster hunter-sharp-tongued priest, five-foot-two, and absolutely not here for your death cult nonsense. But when a trap binds him to a forgotten altar, he comes face-to-face with the god they were trying to summon. Russia isn't just frost and fury. He's ancient. Powerful. And disturbingly interested in America. Blood will freeze. Chains will break. And beneath the snow, something impossible stirs-an echo of a love that should have died long ago. ✨ Enemies-to-something-more meets divine obsession in a dark, romantic, dreamcore fantasy filled with teeth, trauma, and fate.

Trapped with the Hollywood Hellion Stuck in a snowstorm is bad. Stuck in a snowstorm with the ex-boyfriend you sort-of, kind-of betrayed is even worse.

The quiet buzz of the airport hummed around Prachi as she sat in a stiff metal chair, her hands clutching the handle of a bright yellow trolley bag. People shuffled past her, each absorbed in their own hurried lives, but Prachi felt like she was moving through quicksand. The weight of the doctor's words-"malignant tumor"-still pressed heavy on her chest. She closed her eyes, trying to push away the pang of fear. This was supposed to be her escape. Ten days in the pristine Himalayas, away from the suffocating city and her own reality. It was then that a sharp cry snapped her out of her thoughts. Her eyes flew open to see a little girl, no older than three, toddling toward the rushing traffic just outside the terminal doors. Instinct took over. Prachi bolted to her feet, her sprained ankle screaming in protest, and ran toward the child. The screech of brakes filled the air as she swooped in and pulled the little girl back, just in time. The child blinked at her with wide, doll-like eyes, too young to understand the danger she had been in. "Are you okay, sweetheart?" Prachi asked, her voice trembling. Before she could process the moment, a man rushed toward them. His face was etched with panic, and his sharp features were softened only by the warmth in his eyes as he looked at the child. He hugged the girl tightly, whispering something Prachi couldn't hear, before standing and turning to her. "Thank-" The word seemed stuck in his throat. His eyes darted to her sprained foot, but instead of gratitude, his expression hardened. Without another word, he grabbed the child and left, his stride brisk, his presence as cold as the air outside. Prachi stared after him, shocked and furious. But before she could gather her thoughts, her eyes fell on her yellow trolley bag-or at least, what she thought was hers.
