Sheila Summers and Brody Carrington

**********
Sheila Summers grew up in the public eye. Her family spent a lot of time in fashionable social circles. Appearances were extremely important to her mother. On the outside the Summers family had it all. They had wealth, prestige, and a beautiful penthouse on The Upper East Side in New York City. But something lurked below the surface.

Love was elusive to Sheila. She never felt like enough for her family, society, or herself. She dreamed of one day finding her handsome prince. But that was only in the books she read. . . She grew up and moved to Dallas, Texas. It was a new life away from her family, and the emotional baggage she carried since childhood.

What happens when East meets West? The strikingly handsome Brody Carrington moves to Dallas to work for Carrington Enterprises. He is a very wealthy bachelor determined to help Sheila find her way. He shows her that she is worthy of love. In the process he begins losing his heart to her.

The Men Next Door by wildfirehoney

✅ Complete ✅ When Campbell Kramer accepted a job offer in Manhattan, she never could've imagined what the city had in store for her. Namely, two handsome men who live on either side of her new apartment. One is older, one is younger. One is introverted, one is extroverted. One is serious, one is playful. Both of them want her attention. What could go wrong? ☲☲☲☲☲ ☆Brooks☆ My neighbor was the one to close the distance between us. She did it quickly -- like she was scared the moment would pass away forever if she let another millisecond go by -- and I rested my hand on the side of her face to steady her. Something about my touch must have given her courage. ♡Campbell♡ The men finally greeted each other while I snipped the green, woody stems and plopped them into the tallest mug I owned. Their sentences were short and awkward, and as I rearranged the blooms for the umpteenth time, the realization that they'd told each other what happened hit me like a south-bound train. I don't know why I didn't expect that. They were best friends, after all. I was just their new neighbor. They had no loyalty to me, no reason to keep our time together a secret. ☆Luca☆ Her lips met mine slowly, softly, hesitantly -- like she wasn't so sure kissing her neighbor was the best idea -- and I responded just as delicately. But when her hand made its way into the back of my hair, our bodies melded together like a lust-struck alloy. And the only hope of separating us was to add more heat. ☲☲☲☲☲ Featured by: 📙 @Wattpad • Spicy Summer Reads (July 2024) • Endless Reading Mode 🧡 (Jan 2024) • Summer in the City 🥵 (June 2023) 📕 @Romance • New Adult (June 2024) 📘 @Ambassadors • Hot Encounters (Dec 2024) Awards: 🥈 Romance runner-up (The Prime Awards 2023)

a regresser and a transmigrating reincarnator face the horrors of a romance novel together Put less succinctly, in one of the many parallel worlds that mirror one another in the upsettingly complicated universe there was a different book by Nelan Barrow. The shifted events that fall like dominos create a significantly divergent plot with some remaining core elements. Due to this differing but mirroring circumstances, Cale Henituse is offered the opportunity to regress rather than transmigrate. He just wasn't anticipating having a new brother upon doing so. This is a story with a primary focus on familial relationships with two romantic subplots alongside. The ships for those subplots are: Choi Han x Kim Rok Soo (Roksu Henituse) Alberu Crossman x Original Cale Henituse
