Sarah Suarez was doing her best to survive adulthood, which was hard when life kept acting like a full-time hater.
After discovering her fiancé's affair with her former friend and publicly humiliating half the people at a reunion party, Sarah is forced to start over. Again. With a sick mother to care for, bills piling up, and a future to salvage, she has no room in her schedule for Henry Salva: a dangerously handsome CEO with too much money and a habit of appearing whenever her life falls apart.
Henry is a man who terrifies boardrooms without raising his voice. Between drunken disasters, awkward encounters, and a chemistry they can't explain, staying away from Henry would be the sensible thing to do. Sarah has never claimed to be sensible.
But when jealous exes and buried truths start resurfacing, their relationship might be the one thing neither of them can laugh off.

The Faux Muse
Everyone thinks Kaia's "balling." They don't know about her overdue bills, the job she was fired from, or how exhausted she was from her day to day life. She's picky because she's been burned - and she's determined not to waste time. So, when her best friend Ryah announces a double date, Kaia agrees to - ONE LAST BLIND DATE, only to keep the peace. But Ryah's mystery guy looks different, talks different, and pushes at a part of Kaia she's kept locked tight. Add in Ben & Jerry's, a rerun of Modern Family, brutal honesty between friends, and a plan that takes a few left and right turns. If you like sharp banter, messy truths, and slow-burn chemistry that makes you laugh, Kaia's about to give you exactly that.
Once Upon Again: One More, With Love
Seven years ago, Candara let go of the only man he ever loved-thinking it was the right thing to do. Now a successful publishing manager and a top writer, he mastered the art of pretending: pretending he's over it, pretending he's fine, pretending love doesn't sting anymore. But fate has other plans. Enter Calisto Elija Mendoza-now his new boss. Colder, sharper, and even more devastating than before. The past hits like a punch to the gut as old wounds resurface, unfinished business lingers in every stolen glance, and the space between them feels like a ticking bomb. Candara made a pact once: never again. But when their eyes meet again, the rules blur. The tension snaps. And love becomes messy, painful, and real that demands a second look. What if the one that got away... came back wanting one more chance? A story of first heartbreaks, unresolved feelings, and the kind of love that refuses to stay buried. Because sometimes, closure isn't the end-it's the beginning of once upon again.Lengkap

It's the year 398 of the Ninth Era, an age dominated by the Federation's authoritarian control and by the insidious influence of megacorps like Mercator Group. Human-piloted, mass-produced machines known as Frames define the battlefield, surveillance programs monitor your every move, and no one alive remembers what it was like before it got this way. It's in this tightly-wound, bloody ecosystem that four lives collide. The Knife, a mob enforcer with the ability to bend matter, ends up a courier for a piece of tech she's been trained not to ask questions about. Angela, a Frame Pilot Specialist with the Ministry of State Affairs, fights for justice only to find deafening silence. Grey, her teammate, just wants to keep the squad sane. Major Falwin, their superior, investigates a crime scene and finds a Knife-shaped ghost. Nobody has all the pieces to the puzzle-not until Frames drop, guns are pointed, and the nature of reality becomes a question mark. In this new, unrelenting conflict, there won't be any winners, only more devastation.

Strength and Sensuality [Completed]
A modern Pride and Prejudice story. Only sexier. Mira is a refugee, starting a new life far from home. She has to deal with her troubled past, her son, and her enigmatic boss, while her only weapon is her killer sense of humor. It's a slow-building love-hate story, with a strong female lead; two control freak lawyers, fighting for dominance, in denial of their feelings; an alpha discovering his submissive side; lots of humor and humanism. ~73K words ~~~ Warnings: - Mild language. Characters talk like white-collar workers usually do in real life. - Chapter 43 has mild sexual content. It isn't very graphic, it's emotional, rather, but if you don't want to read about it, just skip it.
