Elyse Madsen is by far not your average twenty year old. Her mother died recently from an illness and her father is always busy with work. Her ex-boyfriend used to abuse her until he was recently sent to jail for breaking and entering into the town's liquor store. Her best friend, Chyler Brighton is the only one that is currently there for her. A couple months ago, Elyse moved in with Chyler, into her small apartment in Los Angeles. Since then, Chyler has been trying to get Elyse to step out of her comfort zone and to try new things, which is not likely going to happen. One day, Chyler decides to take Elyse to their favorite little cafe, but something will be different this time around. Someone at the cafe catches a glimpse of Elyse and realizes he can't keep his eyes off of her. His face is not one she recognizes, but one she wants to be able to get familiar with. She gets lost in his brown eyes, and his mysteriousness makes her crave to know him. Before this day, Elyse couldn't imagine herself finding love ever again, but will this mysterious man make her change her mind even slightly?

Love Spilled Like Coffee {Completed} by lunarawrites
22 parts Complete
Damian Blackwood is a man who has everything-wealth, power, and an unshakable reputation as a ruthless CEO. Love? He never believed in it. To him, emotions were distractions, and relationships were nothing more than business transactions. But everything changes one morning when he accidentally spills coffee on a stranger at a café. Ella Carter, with her soft eyes and warm smile, isn't like the people he's used to. She doesn't fawn over his status or try to impress him. Instead, she simply cleans the mess, gives him a polite nod, and walks away-leaving him utterly captivated. For fifteen days, Damian returns to the café at the same time, just to see her from afar. He doesn't know why. He doesn't even know her name. But something about her makes his carefully controlled world feel unsteady. Then fate takes control. Ella walks into Blackwood Enterprises for an interview, only to realize the man from the café-the one who had been haunting her thoughts-is her new boss. Damian is thrilled but keeps his emotions locked away, offering her the job with a professional mask. As they spend more time together, the tension between them grows. Damian finds himself breaking his own rules, drawn to the warmth and kindness Ella brings into his cold, calculated world. Ella, in turn, sees glimpses of the man beneath the powerful CEO-one who's afraid to love, but even more afraid of losing her. Will Damian finally let go of his fears and embrace the love he never believed in? Or will his hesitation cost him the one thing he never knew he needed? A heartfelt, slow-burn romance about fate, unexpected love, and the power of simple moments that change everything.

Over the past two years, twenty-one-year-old Tessa has been struggling to shove the pieces of her life back together. It's not an easy task, given that her mother is an alcoholic mess, her father is dead, the rest of her family is determined to pretend she, her mother, and her younger sister, Grace, don't exist, and feels like she's drowning in the responsibilities that come with adulthood without having her parents there to help her. But Tessa can deal. She has Grace, and that's all she needs to survive. When Grace starts dating Julia, a charming and pretty girl from her physics class, Tessa is overjoyed for her. She loves that Grace is happy, despite the pain life has inflicted. But then Julia breaks Grace's heart, and everything falls apart. Now, Grace is gone. She's locked away in St. Montgomery's, a mental hospital, and the doctors keep saying she's delusional; that her entire relationship with Julia was a lie. But Tessa knows better. And with each day that she sees Julia around campus, a boy on her arm as she laughs with her friends, she feels a surge of rage. This girl destroyed the last good thing she had in her life. She can't just sit back and watch her get away with it. Julia needs to pay. And she will. Those friends she loves? Gone. That boyfriend? Gone. That reputation? Gone. Tessa will take everything. And there will be nothing Julia can do to stop her.
