Do you remember when you knew you were falling in love?
What starts with a lucky encounter during their college years turns out to be a moment that will forever define their futures.
That breathless, electric feeling in the air; giddy with the excitement of a new day.
We have all experienced it in some way. Through the recollection of friends & family, through tender embraces between mother and child, but the most poignant is that of the writings of a love struck man who has already seen the end.
In this contemporary romance, author Leonard Belmont takes us on an unhindered emotional journey into the lives of a young couple from the moment they lay eyes on one another. Beginning with the end of their life together, these unhindered thoughts open us up to what love is like in its earliest moments.
"It did not take long to understand what I was living in that moment.
Love at first sight.
My soul mate"

Almost Us
This is my first novel. A story born from countless imagined scenarios-those "what if" moments in the head that never happened but feel so real. It's about friendship, laughter, jealousy, and the feelings we keep hidden. It's about the times we're too quiet, the words left unsaid, and the moments that could have changed everything... if only. What if we were more than friends? What if I said what I felt? What if things turned out differently? This is not the story of "us." This is the story of what we almost were.

SACRED ECHO
Have you ever wondered what love really is? Is it the kind of love we see in stories, or is it something deeper, something that pulls you in without warning? Can love truly heal, or is it simply another word we throw around when we don't know what else to say? What if love isn't about grand gestures or perfect moments, but about staying, even when the world falls apart? In the end, what makes two souls truly belong to each other? Is it the moments of joy, or the quiet understanding in the darkest times? After reading their story, ask yourself: *What is love to you?* No , Not the one which you saw in movies or youtube or instagram reels neither the motivation lines you find in Pinterest apart from them what do you think love is to you ?Complete
The Space Between Souls
In every lifetime, their souls brush against each other like twilight and dawn-always aching for union, forever kept apart. In the quiet spaces between words unspoken and touches that linger a heartbeat too long, two souls uncover the cruelest truth of all: that love doesn't always come when we're free to receive it. Between stolen glances and conversations that dance around confession, between the safety of friendship and the danger of something deeper, lies a love so profound it threatens to undo everything they thought they were. This is a love not measured in years together, but in fleeting moments that burn brighter than forever. What do you do when your soul finds its match in the wrong person at the wrong time? How do you love someone completely while knowing that love may never find the light? How do you say goodbye to someone who feels like home? Some love stories end in wedding bells. Others end in wisdom. This is the story of a love that lived entirely in the space between what was and what could never be- and how sometimes, that space contains the most beautiful tragedy of all.
And Then, I Met You
"You know," Sage murmurs against my neck, his voice a little bashful, "my sister says hugs are the fastest way to make someone feel better." I let out a huff of breath and open my mouth to respond. But before I can reply, he adds softly. "You're one of the most amazing people I know. And no one, absolutely no one, should ever make you feel otherwise." I let my eyes close for a second, letting that settle in a place I didn't even realise had been empty. "Okay," I say quietly, pulling back just enough to see his face and then sinking deeper into his warmth, my hands curling into his jacket, clutching like I'm afraid he'll vanish if I let go. ────── ✦ She wasn't looking for love, just a little peace. He was not planning to fall, but when he met her, he realised that some falls don't hurt. They heal. ✦ ────── If you are a reader like me, someone who loves comfort books, pure love stories, and heathy relationships that feel real and safe then maybe this book is just perfect for you 🍂

The Guy I Could Never Have
Some people arrive quietly. No fireworks. No background music. Just a look. A name. A violet shirt in a white room. You don't realize it's the start. Not until you're too far in. I didn't fall for him the way stories say you should. There was no moment of knowing. Just a slow ache that built between library tables and half-finished coffee cups. The kind of love that feels like a question no one teaches you how to ask. We were never official. Never obvious. We were playlists. Eye contact. A sentence that almost sounded like confession-until it didn't. And somewhere in that space between almost and never, I became someone I didn't recognize. Someone quieter. Smaller. And then... someone who walked away. This is not a story about the guy I ended up with. This is about the one I couldn't have. The one who arrived too late. The one who taught me that not all love stories need a happy ending- Some just need a girl who finally chooses herself. And this time, I did.Complete
