76 parts Complete
17-almost-18-year-old Ezra Thompson is tired of two things. First, is constant chatter about Dilemma, an all-boy rock band, led by the supposedly-dreamy frontman Andre Robinson that somehow has a universal grip on every teenager in the world. Personally, Ezra doesn't see the appeal. Second, being in the shadow of her more smart, successful, and popular twin brother Emmet. Ezra couldn't ask for a better life. The thing is, Ezra, can sing. Like really sing. Only her parents who are occasionally proud of her, treat it as a juvenile hobby and she could never sing in front of people. So for now, her shampoo bottles get front-row access to her once-a-night concert in the shower. But when Ezra's younger sister, Maria, signs her up for a singing reality show called Finding Solstice, she is both angry and grateful. To her surprise, she passes the audition and is invited to Los Angeles for the show. Suddenly immersed in the cutthroat music industry, Ezra faces a whirlwind competition against fame-hungry singers, all fighting tooth and nail for the same prize. Amidst the manufactured forces of the industry, she must stand her ground and protect her passion for music. As if that wasn't enough, Ezra finds herself suddenly encountering a pretentious rockstar and is unexpectedly drawn to him. As the competition heats up, Ezra finds herself at the center of a brewing scandal that could end her career before it even starts. The pressure is on, and Ezra is torn between her passion for music and the fear of being dragged down. The stakes are high, and people are unforgiving, but Ezra knows that her music is worth fighting for. With her future on the line, she must navigate the twists and turns of the music industry and stay focused on what really matters: her music and her dreams.

15 parts Complete Mature
Blandina "Dina" Rose was raised in a world where control masked as protection. Born to a wealthy but cold political dynasty, her life has always been dictated-what to wear, who to smile for, what secrets to bury. But at twenty-seven, she's done playing the perfect daughter. On the run from an arranged engagement that's more power-play than romance, Dina vanishes into the underground world of exclusive erotic clubs where identities are masked, desires are raw, and no rules exist. There, she becomes "Rose," a mysterious, submissive siren who surrenders her body but guards her heart. When she's claimed by a dark, dominant stranger who calls himself Cain, her boundaries begin to blur-because Cain isn't just any man. He's the one person forbidden to her: her father's former protégé turned political rival, a man whose ambitions could destroy her family... and whose mouth writes confessions across her skin. Their chemistry is immediate, brutal, and consuming-built on secrecy, dominance, and mutual obsession. Dina finds herself spiraling into a dangerous addiction, torn between craving his control and fearing how much of herself she's willing to give. But in Cain's world, everything has a price... and soon, love, lust, and betrayal become weapons. As their erotic game deepens into something neither can control, Dina must decide if she's escaping her past-or becoming something darker, hungrier, and far more powerful than she ever imagined.

Shadows Between Stars

39 parts Complete

In the kingdom of Aeloria, where constellations are not just patterns in the night sky but living omens that shape destiny, shadows have begun to stretch further than the stars can shine. Eira, the bastard daughter of a fallen noble house, dreams only of escape from her forgotten corner of the palace. But when she discovers a forbidden star map that shifts and breathes under her touch, she is thrust into a world where the stars whisper secrets, and shadows demand payment. Across the kingdom, Kaelen, a knight sworn to loyalty yet haunted by his own fractured past, is bound by an oath that ties him to Eira's fate. As they are pulled together by cosmic threads, they uncover a truth that the kingdom has buried for centuries: the stars are dying, and with them, so too the line between reality and illusion. Every constellation hides a memory. Every shadow conceals a bargain. And every step Eira takes draws her deeper into a labyrinth of betrayal, prophecy, and love that burns brighter than the stars themselves. But in a world where the night sky governs all, what happens when the stars themselves begin to lie?
