The Delivery Girl
Julie Leong always does as she's told. Studies hard, works late shifts at the family restaurant, and carefully lays out a plan for a well paying career. But with an impossible-to-please dad and annoyingly perfect sister, Julie can't seem to ever catch a break. Everything changes one stormy night, when an awkward food delivery for Callen Sterling, mysterious and handsome CEO of Sterling Studios, leads to the offer of a lifetime, and her perfect plan goes out the window. What starts out as a harmless side gig quickly grows into so much more as they find themselves impossibly drawn to each other. She learns of anonymous threats Callen has been receiving - and they're only getting worse. But it takes a lot more than a few death threats to scare the determined (and stubborn) Julie away. Her life becomes more and more entangled with Callen's, until she ultimately finds herself torn between two paths. Misery in exchange for money and success, or risking it all for a chance at love and happiness.

Life and Emery
In a quiet town pulsing with secrets and second chances, Life and Emery follows the journey of Emery-a woman haunted by loss, fiercely independent, and unexpectedly pregnant-as she stumbles into a life that feels both foreign and strangely meant to be. Offered refuge behind the bustling warmth of a local bar, she carves out a modest sanctuary in a converted storage room, determined to rebuild her world piece by piece. But rebuilding isn't simple. Especially when Jamie-stoic, loyal, and frustratingly magnetic-keeps showing up, offering far more than safety. As their relationship deepens and emotional walls begin to crumble, Emery must confront the ghosts of her past, the tenderness of chosen family, and the terrifying beauty of becoming a mother. Woven through painterly scenes of domestic intimacy, fragile vulnerability, and quiet joy, this story is a love letter to found family, the ache of beginning again, and the fierce softness that comes with finally letting someone in.
