The city of Ember Hollow was alive, bustling with secrets that danced through the streets like whispers in the night. Everyone knew who controlled it all-the mafia boss, Kade Alistair. Ruthless, sharp-eyed, and powerful, he ruled the underground with a fist of iron. His name alone made men tremble and women disappear behind closed doors. But to the outside world? Kade was nothing more than a shadow, lurking just behind the veil of ordinary life. Kade had his own rules, his own empire. He didn't care about the outside world of kindness and naivety. All that mattered was power, control, and keeping his enemies in line. A cold-hearted king, untouchable, invincible. On the other side of the city, Elara Blake lived a different kind of life-one filled with light. She moved through the world with soft steps, kind words, and a gentle heart. Elara worked at the local flower shop, her days filled with the sweet scent of roses and the warmth of sunlight filtering through glass windows. She was the kind of girl who smiled at strangers and found joy in the smallest moments, unaware that her peaceful world was built on the foundations of darkness she couldn't see. Ember Hollow was a world divided. Kade's shadows ruled the night, while Elara's kindness bloomed in the daylight. Two worlds, completely separate, completely unaware of the other's existence...Complete

Still Here At 3 AM
At 3 a.m., when the city holds its breath, Ada finds peace in the hum of the espresso machine and the glow of a half-lit café. She's grown used to the silence-until Ashrine walks in. Tired, trembling, and half-alive, Ashrine carries more than sleeplessness in her eyes. Her chronic pain keeps her awake, and the medication that's meant to help her only pulls her further from reality. Their late-night conversations begin as comfort and turn into something sacred. Between laughter and coffee, sketches and songs, Ada finds herself drawn to a woman who sometimes sees ghosts in the corners and sometimes mistakes dreams for memories. And yet, Ashrine's presence feels more real than anything Ada's ever known. As nights pass and hallucinations deepen, Ada clings to what they share-every look, every word, every 3 a.m. heartbeat. But when Ashrine begins to fade from both her world and her mind, Ada must face a truth that love sometimes exists in the spaces between what's real and what's remembered. Because some people are meant to meet only in the quietest hours- and some goodbyes can still taste like coffee long after they're gone.Complete

Too pure for a world like hers... and yet, impossible to ignore. With honey-brown eyes that see too much and a quiet defiance behind her smile, she unsettles everything Seraphina thought she knew. Seraphina doesn't do love. But desire? Obsession? The urge to claim what should never have been hers? That, she can't seem to resist. What happens when a woman who feels nothing meets the one person she can't stop feeling?
