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!

"So... what about us?" he asked, and I looked at him, a bit bewildered. "What?" I inquired. "You and me... what are we, Sera? You know how you affect me. You make me feel like I'm losing my mind, and I feel incomplete when you're not around. I yearn for your touch, your scent, and everything about you drives me wild," he admitted, his words close to my face. I let out a shaky breath as I felt a warmth spread through my body. "Thad, I think you're getting something wrong," I began, but he interrupted me. "No, you're the one refusing to admit that you're feeling the same way I am," he insisted, causing me to fall silent. He was right, I couldn't deny the feelings i had for him. They had always been there, but they had intensified with his return. ●●●●●●□□□●●□□□●●● In their final year of high school, Thaddeus and Sera epitomized the dream teen couple, envied by all.

A highly recommended collection for open-minded readers looking for something beyond the conventional." - Champion (Amazon) "I loved the subtle aura of this book, the way the stories built up slowly, peaked, and faded, leaving me pondering, and I liked that the characters and vocabulary were not vulgar. I loved how the stories were arranged so that each story was better than the last." Ann Linus for Readers' Favorite "Drake is a pro at playing with the reader's emotions in a way that I am slightly terrified of...If you are someone who's tired of the hetero-normative blandness of Fifty Shades of Grey, give Morsels a try." - Hannah Gonzalez, Reedsy Discovery ════════════════════════════════════ This book was shortlisted in the 2025 Passionate Plume Awards, an annual contest hosted by Passionate Ink, an affiliate of Romance Writers of America.

Yet, this affection shatters when she discovers the object of her desires is entangled with another woman of his choosing.

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. He sat on the bed, criss crossed and pulled me to him. ♡♡♡♡♡ The thing about love is... its unpredictable. Even when you don't want love, it just happens.

Shadows of Doubts: (LCB Stories12: Brixx Villa Story)

64 parts Complete Mature

"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 04232025
