When Stevie and her band MARS catch a break early on and sign with a big record label, they relocate to Los Angeles from their home in Hawai'i and become next door neighbors to Formula 1 boy wonder, Brendon Ellis. Since skyrocketing to the tops of the charts after the release of their critically-acclaimed debut album, there's a lot of pressure to prove their worth with their sophomore effort, on top of keeping everyone in the band on the right track. And though Stevie, a woman set on committing her efforts to her burgeoning career, has had no plans on jumping into any sort of relationship, her growing friendship with Brendon Ellis derails that idea. As two highly-regarded figures in their respective fields, juggling their careers and feelings for each other requires effort. Stevie and Brendon must decide if they're willing to drive a thousand miles until their tyres wear out -- 'cause it's lights out and away they run.

I've had the worst few months of my entire life, which led me to make the choice to move from Scotland to America. It wasn't an easy one, but I had to get away from all the bad memories. I found an apartment and a job. I wanted everything to be ready for when I arrived. I believed it would be a lonely time, but I was willing to deal with it. I didn't expect that on my first day at my new job, I would instantly connect with my new boss. The stranger I had seen in the coffee shop before I knew who he was. Jared makes me feel welcome from the second I introduce myself. There is a problem, though, no, two problems. First, he is gorgeous, and I find myself attracted to him. Secondly, he is a huge flirt, and I don't know how to deal with it. I can't get involved with another man. I make it clear to him, but I find myself spending time with him outside of the office, and it becomes harder to resist. I need a friend, and he is willing to be one, but being only friends isn't easy when chemistry and sexual tension are brewing between the two people involved. I don't want to be that woman. The one who starts something with her boss, but Jared is unlike any other man I have ever met, and he makes me feel things I haven't in a while. He seems to make me feel at ease and forget about all my worries, even for a moment. Am I in trouble, or do I have enough self-control to ensure we don't get past friends?

In the tranquil waters of Hawai'i, Hokulani and Nikau wonder if it's possible for a song to go on forever. ***** For as long as Hokulani can remember, she's always felt like she's treading water. Everything she loves becomes a means to escape from what's happening around her or, worse, the unsteadiness of her mind. She even finds her passion for music slipping through her grasp, though she tries her best not to completely let that go. And even though the arrival of an up-and-coming musician from Aotearoa causes waves, she's unable to fully enjoy her life. Unable to release that breath she feels like she's been holding onto ever since her father passed away. When her family is hit with complicated news, the Kahananui woman must make difficult decisions for themselves, including one Hokulani isn't sure she fully understands. But even when their choices are made, they bring up memories they've all been trying their best to forget, forcing them to face the reality deep inside the family's hearts. Hokulani takes refuge in the comfort her shared feelings with Nikau bring, but just because she wants something, doesn't mean it's enough. She knows she has a lot to work through on her own, and with the understanding that his year on the island will eventually come to an end, the two of them spend endless nights wondering if they can somehow make a song go on forever. ***** 2025 AMBYS GRAND FAVORITE | contemporary 2025 ASTANIA AWARDS FIRST PLACE WINNER | wild card » featured on @wattpad @romance @ContemporaryLit @SocialThemes and @Ambassadors « All rights reserved © Stephanie Midorii, smidorii
Playing with Fire (SAMPLE) by m20anderson
7 parts Complete Mature
A grumpy/sunshine duo. A motorcycle rally. A slow burn MM romance with sparks, scars, and second chances. Carlos // The thing about fire is, you never notice how close you're standing until it burns. Chuck's that kind of fire-short fuse, sharp tongue, and the kind of stare that pins me in place. He drives me crazy, which would be fine if he didn't also make me laugh, listen, and look twice when no one else does. I told myself helping him plan this rally was just a favor for a friend. Then the late nights started feeling like something else entirely. Chuck // I don't do sunshine. I do engines, late shifts, and keeping my head down. But Carlos has this way of worming into my space, bright and relentless, until I start looking forward to the sound of his laugh more than the roar of my bike. He's everything I don't deserve. He's soft, open, good. And somehow, he's the one thing I can't seem to stay away from. 📖 Part of the Road to Us Collection The Road to Us Collection is a series of interconnected standalone queer romances about friendship, found family, and falling in love against the odds.

Strength and Sensuality [Completed] by HeraHarker
45 parts Complete
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. It won't affect the story. ~~~ Featured: - WP Romance's Read Together and Head Over Heels reading list - WP ChickLit and Women's Fiction reading list - WP New Adult's Romance reading list - WP Adult Fiction reading list - WP Classic Authors Twisting Austen's Magical Moments reading list - WP Retold reading list ~~~ Reviews: "You have a lot of literary elements going for you: your style is chock full of subtext, humor, and intelligence. There's a careful craftsmanship in world-building, character development, and theme." Scripturam Awards "A truly unique story with a quite remarkable a plot! It has the ability to convey the emotions stirred within the characters to the depth of readers heart!" The Graphomania Awards "I am beyond impressed with this work. The characters feel real; three-dimensional. The narration does not feel forced in any way, it flows as it reads." The Dream Awards "Some books lead with suspense and cliffhangers that even if you don't want to continue the book you do so just to sate your curiosity. But then a rare gem like this comes along and without any cheap tricks it pulls in, you just continue and keep reading it and you may not even know when you reach the end." Shadow City Awards
