What would you do? If on the worst day you could possibly imagine, to find a man on the doorstep of your home claiming to be Cupid? Even worse you've been given a deadline to find your soulmate and your only clue to finding them is a watch.
Your only option is to find your other half or die trying.
For Clarissa Holmes it seems almost impossible, her disastrous love life is just one example of why this ideology of finding 'the one' is a myth.. At the staggering age of 30, she finds herself unmarried, no children and a small cat who is her only form of socialisation apart from work.
Cupid has given Clarissa 12 chances to find love, and only 6 months before the final chime of the old Victorian brown banded watch which will symbolise the final beat of Clarissa's heart before her last breath.
Will this be the end of an era for Clarissa or a new beginning?

Love Paradox
Love Paradox follows the journey of a love mentor who has experienced a devastating heartbreak, causing them to question everything they once believed about love. Having spent years helping others navigate their romantic struggles, they now find themselves lost, unable to heal from their scars. Just when they think they've shut off their heart for good, they meet someone who doesn't believe in love at all. This person is guarded, cynical, and seemingly uninterested in emotional connections, yet there's something magnetic about their presence. As the mentor and the skeptic grow closer, they are caught in a unique and unexpected bond. With each encounter, they are forced to confront their vulnerabilities and the walls they've built around their hearts. The mentor, once a beacon of hope for others, begins to realize that perhaps this unconventional connection holds the key to healing their wounds. Can a love that starts in contradiction-between belief and disbelief-be the very thing that heals them both? *Love Paradox* is a tale of self-discovery, challenging beliefs, and the idea that sometimes love isn't found in perfection, but in the messy, uncertain connections that push us to grow.Complete

Speared By Heart ♡ (Yandere! Male! Warrior x Princess! Reader)
Play the visual novel version here! https://kittenstealth.itch.io/speared-by-heart PART I: Princess (Y/N). Instead of being offered to join the war and fight back for your freedom, you were almost handed away to marriage on a silver platter with a man you used to love. He grew cold with age and ruling a kingdom did not do his personality any good; being sent over to him for marriage now would be a death sentence for you. Not doing it would mean a death sentence for everyone else. Still, you had to run away. You never wanted the royal life nor to get married at the exact young age of 20. Running away to a small town nearby was not the best idea you could have ever come up with, but it served well as the town agreed to keep you and put you to work. Mainly with hand-to-hand combat training. You were never allowed to do anything of the sort when at the hands of your mother, so it was nice for a change. But what were they training you for? The war. No one knew you were the princess, and they were expecting to have you frontline back into the kingdom you tried so hard to escape from to fight in the war. Escaping now to anywhere else in the world seemed to be the only good option. One person in particular wasn't going to let you do that. Clyde Ray. ♡ PART II: Coming soon :) (All rights reserved for both the story and art.)
