    Amara Monroe is not the kind of woman who stops moving. She is a graduate student, a business owner, a daughter, and a caretaker all at once, and she handles every single role with the kind of quiet discipline that most people never see because she does not ask them to. Her life runs on early mornings, tight budgets, and the deep belief that doing things the right way matters even when no one is watching. Kit Wattanakul is a Thai-American chef who built his Atlanta restaurant on the same principle. Disciplined. Intentional. Rooted in the culture and family that shaped him. He is not a man who does things carelessly. Which makes it all the more complicated when one unexpected afternoon puts Amara in his orbit and neither of them can quite find their way back to the distance they started with. This is not a story about two people who fall recklessly into each other. It is a story about two people who feel something real and choose, again and again, to handle it with honesty and care. About what it costs to want something you are not yet free to reach for. About family duty and cultural identity and the particular courage it takes to build love on a foundation that can actually hold. Set against the copper and gold of an Atlanta autumn, Eyes on You is a slow burn that earns every degree of heat. No shortcuts. No compromise. Just two people deciding that something worth having is worth doing right. ©️ _RelleLebby_// R. L.

    Them... Those... People you'd deal with at work: - co-workers - bosses - customers Essentially, anybody you need to be around who could make things more difficult then they need to be. This is a blog-ish story accounting my personal experiences, along with the odd special chapter doccumenting the accounts of people I know. Though seemingly bleak, the aim of this series is to share and hopefully give people a bit of a boost, something to relate their experience to & know they're not odd or alone. Those around me & myself rant about work, some people don't have this luxury. I have had apparantely contrasting work & am able to more empathetic to specific sectors I knew little of before hand - so you'll likely find a work rant just for you. ;) Updated when stuff happens, I remember stuff or someone's told me stuff.

    Nayeli Grant works long shifts at a Kingston diner, counts every dollar twice, and carries her future in a worn notebook. With no mother and a father who stopped caring a long time ago, she learns early that survival is quieter than people think. College isn't freedom-it's pressure. Kingston isn't kind-it's watching. And while Nayeli keeps moving forward, never looking back... someone else is paying attention. A dark, realistic Jamaican slow-burn about ambition, silence, and the cost of being unseen.

    The saxophone threads heat through the bar, and old stories lift with the smoke. Bubba Bojangles leans on the counter, knuckles scraped, breath warm with whiskey, shirt salted by sweat and spill. He says he's got a little to tell and a thirst to match. Gasper works the bar, the bottle, the room. Outside waits the freight yard; inside, rhythm keeps time while a life unfolds across the wood grain. Paychecks have gone to the glass, debts stack high, and the hard choices bite. Bubba lays them down one by one, and the jukebox answers. The first laugh lands easy; the next carries a bruise. By the time the rim rings the rail, the tale turns from joke to reckoning. Grit, memory, and a blue-note kind of mercy shape a night that changes the listener as much as the teller. Author's Note: This story hums on a melody my brother rewrote from the lullaby our mother sang to us for years. The tune carried us through long car rides and sleepy kitchens, and it still opens a door in my chest. The characters here stand in fiction, yet their bones remember my grandparents. I was small when my grandfather left this world, but love met me early. I keep his scent in memory-tobacco and soap, warm wool in winter. I see his easy gait, the tilt of his shoulders, the way he gifted everyone a ridiculous nickname until the whole room shook with laughter. I claim my own silliness from him with gratitude. If you hear a jukebox in these pages, or catch a river breeze, that's our family music working again. Thank you for reading.

We have placed our couples into the setting of one of our current novels, and stirred a situation in which our characters are tested, and we control how we think they'd react! How will Joshua and Amelia (Lulu's characters) handle themselves when they stumble upon a town which seems to hang the innocent at the toll of a bell? Not to mention the meeting of Dristan, a noble man who is hiding the escapee everyone wants to have killed, Amity (my characters).
