Grace is broken, but she isn't the only one.
This is a story of five people whose lives have met dead ends or encountered free falls:
-Josh is facing the bitter truth, but he doesn't hate himself for his actions- surprisingly, he feels little at all.
-Charlotte is sure of whom she trusts her heart to, but with a change of events everything she held close replaces itself.
- Jake knows who he loves, but is also aware of the fact that she is no longer his to hold- and the blame for that rests on his shoulders alone.
-Stephen has more money than he knows what to do with, but is afraid that the path his life has set for him isn't truly what he wants.
- Finally there is Grace. Moving on comes with letting go, but just as this begins to occur she realizes that everything she released was more important than what she thought she needed.
The five of them try find love through the maze of their pasts, but there is always one last thing that overturns the balance which has just begun to settle. Five is an odd number, there is always a loose end.

Timeless Love | Englot
She's the type who walks into a room and silences it with a glare-CEO, perfectionist, easily angered and impossible to impress. Life, for her, is a checklist of wins and control. Then she met her. Soft-spoken, unfailingly kind, and stubborn in the gentlest way. A quiet force of nature with a smile that disarms, and a secret buried deep in her skull-an aneurysm that could rupture at any moment. They were opposites. One ran from vulnerability. The other lived with its shadow every day. What began as a clash of personalities slowly unraveled into late-night confessions, stolen glances, and love that neither of them saw coming. But with time quite literally ticking inside her head, every shared moment is a fight-not just against fear, but for something worth staying alive for.Complete
Love me, Then Leave me
Love Me, Then Leave Me is the story I've poured my heart into, and it's raw, messy, and real, the kind of story that doesn't shy away from the parts of love that hurt the most. It follows Ivy Monroe, a seventeen-year-old girl who's quiet, guarded, and trying to navigate a world that often feels bigger than her. She's careful with her heart, but when Jace Carter walks into her life, charming, irresistible, and seemingly untouchable, everything shifts. He's everything she didn't know she wanted, and nothing she can hold onto. Writing this book, I wanted to explore the intensity of first love, the confusion of emotions when someone makes you feel seen yet unreachable, and the heartbreak that comes from being left wondering what went wrong. Ivy isn't perfect, she makes mistakes, she overthinks, and she feels deeply, but that's exactly what makes her real. And Jace? He's complicated, infuriating, and unforgettable. The tension between them builds, the chemistry sparks, and every interaction is charged with vulnerability, desire, and fear. But this story isn't just about love, it's about identity, growth, and the messy process of learning to protect your heart without closing it completely. Through Ivy's perspective, I wanted to capture the exhilaration of falling for someone who seems out of reach, the sting of betrayal, and the bittersweet lessons that come with letting go. There's laughter, heartbreak, hope, and pain, all woven together to tell a story that stays with you long after the last page. When I wrote Love Me, Then Leave Me, I wanted readers to feel Ivy's highs and lows, to walk in her shoes, and to remember that love is never simple, but it's always worth the risk. This is a story for anyone who's ever loved too deeply, questioned too much, and dared to hope again, even when their heart is telling them to run.Complete
Me and you till the end
"They hated each other first. Then they learned what real love feels like messy, loud, and impossible to forget." Jacob Reeves and Olivia Wilde were never supposed to work together. He was the quiet, brooding type - the guy who kept his guard up and his feelings buried deeper than anyone could reach. She was all passion and fire, a hopeless romantic who believed that love could fix anything. So when they were forced to team up for a college project about love, it felt like a cruel joke. Their meetings were full of sarcasm, stubborn arguments, and frustrated sighs. He thought she was too idealistic. She thought he didn't have a heart. But late nights have a way of breaking down walls. Between stacks of notes and too many cups of coffee, their conversations began to shift. The project became an excuse to stay longer, to talk about things that had nothing to do with school - dreams, fears, regrets, and everything in between. Somewhere between the bickering and the laughter, Jacob and Olivia fell for each other. Not in a perfect, movie-scene kind of way, but in a real way - messy, unexpected, and impossible to control. But timing has never been kind to them. Life pulled them in different directions - heartbreaks, ambitions, and choices they couldn't undo. Still, what they shared never truly faded. It lingered in every memory, every "what if," every song that reminded them of what once was. Because some love stories don't end - they echo. And theirs? It's the kind you never forget, no matter how far you run.Complete
Nothing But You | Englot | GP
Engfa Waraha never believed in fate - until it threw her straight into the path of Charlotte Austin, the one person she couldn't stand. To Engfa, Charlotte was nothing but a spoiled, entitled brat - the type of girl who had always looked down on her, believing the world owed her everything. And to Charlotte, Engfa was the player who never took anything seriously, always playing the system. But fate, relentless and unforgiving, had other plans. One moment - one touch - and everything changed. What began as a fierce rivalry between two girls who couldn't have been more different slowly evolved into something more complicated, more dangerous. A storm of hate, desire, and undeniable connection - woven together by a force neither could comprehend. Then, without warning, Charlotte vanished. No explanations, no goodbyes. Engfa never understood why Charlotte left - and maybe that was the worst part. It wasn't just the absence; it was that she disappeared when they'd finally begun to understand each other. Years passed. The questions never left. The rage dulled. The emptiness remained. Just as Engfa thought she'd finally moved on, fate dragged her back to Charlotte - in a sleek office, in one unforgettable moment. What if fate had never let go, forcing them to confront what they could never forget? What if facing the truth could unite them in ways they couldn't predict? The space between past and present is filled with unanswered questions: Charlotte's disappearance, and the unbreakable bond that continues to shape their lives. ***** ⚠️‼️ This story contains: - Intersex themes (G!P) - Mature/explicit content - Angst If this isn't your cup of tea, feel free to skip it.

Crimson & Gold Pact
One of the most compelling aspects of "Crimson & Gold Pact" is definitely the journey of Engfa and Charlotte themselves. They begin as archetypal rivals, almost diametrically opposed in their personalities and approaches to life and business. Engfa is all logic, control, and efficiency, while Charlotte is intuition, charm, and a touch of calculated chaos. What's fascinating is how the forced proximity and the escalating external threats really act as catalysts for their growth, both individually and as a couple. We see Engfa, the "Ice Queen," gradually reveal moments of vulnerability and even a fierce, protective loyalty that goes beyond pure strategy. Similarly, Charlotte, who initially seems to embody rebellion against her family's expectations, steps up to embrace her duty and display an unexpected resilience and strategic mind when the stakes are highest. The "arranged marriage" premise, which starts as a source of mutual disdain, cleverly evolves into the very crucible in which their undeniable chemistry and eventual love are forged. It's the ultimate "enemies-to-lovers" trope, but with the added layer of high-stakes corporate warfare and complex family legacies. The "Crimson & Gold Pact" truly becomes a vow of personal commitment, not just a business contract. What are your thoughts on their individual journeys, especially how they came to depend on and eventually love each other despite their initial resistance?Complete
