This is a young adult story. It will not feel childish. It will not feel "stale" like some adult-oriented stories. This is in between.
Edmund van Aalsburg is a doctor, infatuated with the thought of a beautiful life in a perfect world. His world, with his perfect pregnant wife and his perfect soon-to-be child.
He believes he has everything. That he's God's favorite.
Dakota Dillinger is an upcoming writer in her final year of college.
Both of them know that, inside, no matter how they long for the world to be perfect, it never will be.
Edmund, unlike Dakota, has trouble absorbing that fact. So he finds a solution:
You never lose mannequins. Mannequins never lose you.

The Aid
Evie has dealt with her fair share of traumatic events, and she just wants to focus on college and her beloved paintbrushes and bass guitar. Harry is just beginning to deal with the most traumatic events of his life: cancer and the American healthcare system, respectively. The two fellow students meet on a bus when Harry notices a stranger following her, and he walks her home to make sure she's safe. Months later, when she learns about his diagnosis, Evie returns the favor in the only way that makes sense: by marrying him. It's meant to be just on paper. She's merely helping him out financially through her mom's health insurance plan. Neither of them expects this simple favor to come with growing worry that turns into a reluctant friendship, which then spirals completely out of control before either can stop it. But it does, and now they're dealing with it in their own unique ways: Evie ignores it, and Harry ignores her ignoring it. // TW: cancer, strong language, alcohol/underage drinking, mentions of substance abuse, mentions of physical abuse, sexual contentComplete
Whispers in Secret
*** A Steamy Romance *** Ella Montgomery is a fiercely determined law student at Oxford University, juggling her ambitious studies while harboring an undeniable secret crush on Lucien Storm, her father's charismatic best friend. From the moment she first laid eyes on him, Lucien's magnetic presence ignited feelings within her that she desperately tries to suppress. She understands that her future hinges on her education, not on the fantasies of being swept away in his arms. Unbeknownst to Ella, Lucien is equally captivated by her. As the head of a powerful mafia family and a trusted friend of her father, he finds himself torn between his growing desire for the spirited young woman and the weight of his responsibilities. The forbidden nature of their feelings creates a tension neither can ignore, even as they try to maintain a semblance of normalcy. Lucien often finds himself lost in fantasies, imagining the feel of Ella's warm body against his, her nails tracing the intricate tattoos that tell his story, and the way her mouth would taste against him. Each thought is both intoxicating and torturous, as he grapples with the consequences of pursuing a romance that could shatter the bonds of friendship and loyalty. As they both navigate their intense emotions, they face the daunting question: Can love flourish in the shadows of secrecy and loyalty, or will their desires lead to heartbreak and chaos? Their journey will test the limits of their hearts, challenging everything they thought they knew about love, power, and the sacrifices they're willing to make for a chance at happiness. In a world where danger lurks at every corner, Ella and Lucien must decide if they are brave enough to confront their feelings, or if the pain of unrequited love will ultimately consume them both.Complete

Priceless
#6 in medical! * I nodded and returned my gaze back to Liv. She placed a hand on my chest, opening and closing her fist. I heard her sniffle and rubbed her hair gently. "Listen.

No Strings? Too Late
One glance. One moment. One obsession.💋 Oh, baby, this is dark, obsessive romance with a touch of dangerous attraction. No fairytales, no magic-just pure, raw, intoxicating tension between two people who should've never crossed paths. It's the kind of story where love isn't soft-it's reckless. Inevitable. F*cking consuming. Where a man like Reyaansh, who never loses, finally meets his match in a woman who refuses to play his game. It's romance, but not the sweet kind. It's possession, power plays, stolen glances, and breathless moments that leave you ruined. She wants to stay unbothered? Too late. She wants to keep her distance? Too late. She wants to pretend like she doesn't feel this pull? Way too f*cking late. Because the man who never loses just made it his mission to make her his. And this time? No strings aren't an option.
