Hiraeth 
|heer-eyeth| (n.) 
a homesickness for a home you can't return to, or a home that never was.


As humans, each one of us yearns for something oh so deeply, and not all of us might get that. But if we ever do, we keep it so close to us, clinging on for dear life. 

Alan Adkins is not someone to waste his time mourning over things he does not have, for he believes in working for the things that really, practically matter in life. Thus, he is unaware that, deep down, his heart desires something precious . . . love. An unexpected encounter with Sandra Alinac in a bar, however, changes his perspective towards life as she mesmerizes him with her words. And they slowly fall for each other, devouring each moment of it. She becomes his hiraeth.

But, a true relationship needs honesty. And there might be something they both are hiding from each other. Something, that might as well end their relationship in the worst way one could imagine.

And amongst all this chaos is a woman, Lake Butterfield. Lake is the one who can change both these lives upside down. Lake is the one who can reveal these secrets when she wants, giving birth to a great epiphany in their lives. But amid all this, Lake is losing herself without even realising it.

Join the journey of these three, filled with love, drama, romance, mysteries and crime that will blow off your mind.All Rights Reserved

Spying On My Boss |REWRITING| by Bananaeater87

REWRITTEN AS "HER SECRET INVESTIGATION" A series of past murders catch the attention of the police and the media. All the people who were killed were women, all of which had some sort of relationship with a well known and successful businessman named Asriel Parker. For some reason, the murders all point to him as the number one suspect and connection between them. The reasonable thing to do is to put him behind bars but there is one problem. "Everyone is innocent in the eyes of the law until proven guilty." There isn't a shred of evidence that actually pinpoints Asriel Parker as the culprit. With that statement in mind, Selena March, a good police officer and detective is sent undercover as his live-in Personal Assistant to dig up whatever information she can use to put the murderer behind bars. Selena has no idea what she signs up for but she knows for a fact that falling in love is not part of the whole 'undercover' mission. **** This is my first wattpad book and unfortunately, it was not really planned but I still enjoyed writing it and developing my writing skills while I was at it😊. So please check it out and feel free to comment. (Just don't be rude🙄) Also: ALL RIGHTS RESERVED!!! COPYRIGHT Cover done by @UnathiDube1

THE DINER by eilishingold

None of it was real. Yet I spent a year looking for clues. Who, what, when, where, and why? Who made her this way? What does she know that I don't? When did she change? Where did she go? Why did I crave her? Her time, her touch, her secrets, her pain, her beauty. It was all such a fascinating lie. A mercurial high. A question only answered with nothing but time. But god.. the greatest mystery of all? was her love. -GXG -ROMANCE -MYSTERY - THRILLER
