Welcome to the Harlington Hotel.
Located on the cliffside of Cherry Cove, this little piece of paradise will be your home away from home. Yes, it might seem a little rough around the edges, with its peeling paint and creaking floorboards. And sure, maybe the staff are a bit odd. The cook documents ghost sightings, the concierge is the leader of a weekly town gossip group, and the owner well she's....eccentric to say the least. Prepare to fall in love with the place anyway. Hold on to your luggage folks, you're in for an interesting ride.
We hope you enjoy your stay!

Shadows of Doubts: (LCB Stories12: Brixx Villa Story)
"In a city of gold, they searched for something real. Love wasn't part of the plan-until they found it in each other." In a city built on ambition, love was never part of the blueprint. Brixx Villa ruled the skyline-powerful, calculated, and untouchable. As the titan of real estate, he built empires from glass and steel, but the walls around his heart were even higher. Cherry Divinagracia lit up every room she entered-a radiant icon of the fashion world, admired from afar but misunderstood in the quiet corners of her life. Behind her perfect smile hid a woman longing to break free from the spotlight's illusion. When fate intertwines their lives under the shimmering lights of Brixx Villa's high society, a connection ignites-unexpected, undeniable, and utterly complicated. As they navigate the collision of success and vulnerability, their hearts must confront the painful truths they've long buried. Can love thrive in a world that values image over intimacy? Or will their hidden scars pull them apart before they ever get the chance to heal together? "When power meets passion, the city holds its breath. Not every empire is built on business-some are built on hearts." **************************************************************************************************edited 04232025Complete

Trying Not To Love (COMPLETED)
I stepped forward and asked, "Where do you want me?" It took me a second to realize what I just said. Shit! I placed a hand on my crimson face and muttered, "Get your head out of the gutter! You know what I meant." He laughed, his voice sounded hoarse and deep even when he's laughing. I peeked at him from the gap I made between my fingers. He was close. So close. He grabbed my hand and took me to the bed. Damn! It did sound sexy. His shirt was loose. Too large for me, and it hung on me like a cloth hung on a hanger.
