One thing one could say about Arthur Ashford is that no place had ever kept him long enough to become his home. So when he returns to London for his brother's funeral, he expects grief, awkward relatives, and a quick departure. Instead, he finds Kathe-the widow. She is composed. Elegant. Entirely too in control for a woman who has just buried her husband. Naturally, Arthur decides this is none of his concern. Unfortunately, he keeps noticing things. A leather agenda that makes no sense. A household that runs too smoothly. A widow who always seems to be exactly where she should be-no more, no less. And the more he looks, the worse it gets. Because suspicion is inconvenient. Attraction is worse. And Kathe is both. Arthur tells himself he is imagining things. The difficulty is that he has never been good at leaving things alone. 💫 Victorian Gothic mystery with a slow-burn romance 💫 Forbidden love 💫 Stron heroin 💫 Funny and witty CHAPTER BY CHAPTER

I accidentally almost killed someone with magic. My mother disappeared right after. And now I'm stuck in England with the grandmother she spent sixteen years warning me about. Tabetha Clarke is rich, terrifying, suspiciously wrinkle-free, and lives in a mansion full of silent servants who disappear when nobody's looking. Literally. Then there's the cat. The demon accusations. The midnight exorcisms. And the tiny little issue of my magic feeding off living things. Apparently, that's bad. Now everyone's acting like I'm either destined to become the most powerful witch in the family... or the reason it finally destroys itself. Personally, I'd just like one normal day and maybe a waffle that doesn't come with emotional trauma.

"I'm not the villain. I'm not the heroine either. And at this point- I'm starting to think that might be a problem." Hi. I'm Amanda. Or... I was. Now I'm stuck in someone else's body-Cassiane's-and apparently, she had a lot going on. I thought transmigrating would mean a fresh start. Maybe some plot armor. Maybe even a dramatic glow-up.

The stories remembered the prince. They remembered the chosen girl of light. They remembered the villainess who was destined to fall. They never remembered everyone else. Beyond the capital lie forgotten kingdoms, ancient forests, dragons older than history, and a world far larger than the pages ever allowed it to be. A world where magic heals and fails in equal measure, monsters gather for reasons no one understands, and every answer uncovers another question. Some endings were never written. Some stories refuse to stay the way they were told. Content Note: Slow burn. Sharp tongues. This story contains strong language, fantasy violence (including magic battles), and occasional references to abuse and neglect.

Laura Williams wanted a grand romance. Not a stranger in a café. Not a man who asked, "Would it be okay if I love you?" five minutes after meeting her. And certainly not a lunatic who climbed onto her balcony the next morning like a squirrel with unresolved feelings.

As their story unfolds beneath winter skies and wandering moonlight, Laura begins to discover that the most beautiful love stories are rarely the ones we plan. But some memories shine brightest because they don't last forever. A nostalgic romantic tale of laughter, moonlight, music, and the kind of love that leaves an echo long after it's gone. - A Romantic Tale by ShadowRithik

Belle needed a quiet place to paint. What she got... was The House. Described by her cousin as "quaint" and "full of character," the old mansion on the isolated farm is anything but. The house smells like something died in it in 1893 and never quite left. The lights don't work, the clocks don't agree, and the walls seem to whisper when the storm rolls in. Charming. Cut off from the outside world as the weather turns vicious, Belle is not alone. There's a man-warm, strong, kind, and very distracting... except for one small problem: She's not entirely sure he is real. Because this house doesn't behave. Doors don't always lead where they should. Time slips. Shadows remember. And sometimes, the past doesn't just echo-it replays. As old journals, strange dreams, and terrifying moments she can't explain bring together fragments of history, Belle begins to uncover tragedies that were never meant to be buried. But the house isn't just remembering. It's waiting... Funny, haunting, and quietly heartbreaking, The House is a story about love, loss, revenge, and the secrets that refuse to stay buried.
