My heart jumped.
Oh god, I thought. Please, kiss me. Please.
Danny was too far away from me to do that. And even if we were closer, he wouldn't have. Rojo pawed at Danny's jeans. He wound up and threw the ball again.
"You'd think this dog has no one to pay attention to him," I commented.
"I could get used to this," Danny said with a wide smile.
We could be a family, I thought. You, me, and Rojo.
"So could Rojo."
Danny laughed.

Now as a college graduate with a Master's in Architecture, Maria is looking to build her life and career, and find some happiness in the process.
But try as she might, she can't cut the thread that connects her to the past---to that boy with ocean eyes and a wide smile.
Is there a way to get over these intense feelings that have yet to fade with time? Or is there an opportunity for a second chance with the only man she's ever loved?

Folded Like Notes
Eliana Izel Mendoza once believed she had her life perfectly mapped out. Back in senior high, she was the composed student whose world revolved around plans, deadlines, and quiet ambitions. She wasn't supposed to fall for anyone....especially not for Laurence Gomez, the boy whose calm presence felt like a secret she was never meant to keep. Years later, Eliana's life looks exactly as she hoped: successful, independent, and built on the steadiness she once craved. A licensed architect living on her own, she has traded school corridors for city skylines. Yet beneath the rhythm of her carefully managed days, something feels unfinished. When a chance encounter with Laurence's mother reconnects her to the Gomez family, Eliana finds herself unexpectedly facing the past she thought she'd outgrown. Laurence-now a pilot who's returned home for good, reappears, holding not just the plans for his family's new house, but pieces of a memory she's long tucked away. As construction begins, boundaries blur between professional and personal, and the quiet tension that once lived between them resurfaces, more mature, but no less complicated. Meanwhile, Gavino Leander Ramirez, her old constant, lingers on the edges of her present life, steady and loyal, but never quite crossing the line she's drawn. In a story that folds between past and present, Folded Like Notes traces the slow unraveling of emotions once left unread. Because sometimes, the things we bury in our youth don't disappear....they wait for the right time, and the right person, to unfold again.
The Corner Store
I fell for a boy with the kindest blue eyes, and a charming dimple. He made me feel loved, and cared for, and most importantly he made me feel safe in his presence. He came right in the middle of a tornadoe and managed to turn it into blue skies. He changed my perspective and gave me hope and strength." I looked at him, and he was smiling, and his eyes were a little glossy. He took my hand and kissed it, a small tear caught in the corner of his beautiful eyes. "I thought, hey, maybe life isn't so bad after all. Maybe I can finally allow myself to love and be loved, and to live life normally. When we went to your party, you told me to wait for you. But then your perverted cousin made me feel super uncomfortable, so I went looking for you, just to be able to feel at peace again. And that's when I saw it." My heart beats skyrocketed, because this was the moment everything changed forever. "Saw what?" Asked Axel. I took a deep breath, and continued. It's now or never. ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ Sophia Grace is a 25 year old Forensic Science major who recently started working as a cashier at her local grocery store - "The Corner Store".

Don't run from me (Book 3)
I leaned back against the wall "It's been so long hasn't it?" "Yes, it has... I think the last time I saw you was high school graduation." "Exactly, and I waved at you and was making my way to you but you had disappeared." "Oh, I..." she looked around as if looking for an escape making me smile. She was so adorable. "Hey, it's okay" I chuckled "Don't worry about it. I just always wondered why you kept running from me throughout high school. It was hard keeping up with you, to be honest." Her smile faded and she just shrugged before leaning down to pick up her things "Well, it was nice seeing you again Mr. Walton." "Mr. Walton? Where did that come from?" "It seems we'll be working together now, it's only fair I call you Mr. Walton. It wouldn't be appropriate otherwise." I frowned standing up "Are you running from me again?" After a harsh breakup, Mason Walton's life changed upside down. Instead of being the considerate boyfriend he always was, he became the biggest playboy of all time.

Final Round [MxM]
[COMPLETED] [2025 Wattys Honorable Mention] Danny's neighbor should be illegal. There's no way someone should be that attractive. They've lived next door to each other for over a year. As a skinny, clumsy, sweater-loving, Modern Poetry professor, Danny never believed someone like him could catch the eye of someone as perfect as Brett. But when Danny (accidentally) RSVPs to a destination wedding he never wanted to attend, he realizes he's in a bind-he needs a plus-one. And somehow, Brett becomes his unexpected solution. Brett's MMA career was on the brink of greatness until an injury stopped him cold. Now, trying to reclaim his spot in the octagon and live up to heavy expectations, the last thing Brett expected was to build a friendship with the neighbor he's been crushing on. However, Danny is undeniably gorgeous and way out of his league, so he needs to maintain realistic expectations. But, when Danny needs a date for a destination wedding, Brett's first instinct is to offer his help. Being his fake boyfriend would not be a hardship. A romantic beach, a fake relationship, and one bed... what could go wrong? Genre: Contemporary Romance / Fake Relationship / Friends to Love / HEA Guaranteed / Dual POV There will be mature scenes between two men that I will mark accordingly. These scenes are intended for mature audiences. This is a spin-off of the worlds of King of Hawkings/Death & Tequila and A New Song/Beats of the Heart, but it is a stand-alone novel, so reading the other novels is unnecessary. However, some old characters will appear, so you may enjoy it more with the full background.Lengkap

Don't Fall Not Yet
Moving from Mexico to the wealthy, perfect suburbs of New York, María Hernandez's plan was simple: finish high school, keep her head down, and blend into the background. That plan lasted until she met Marcus Whitmore. Marcus is the town's golden boy-the star quarterback, popular, and untouchable. But the easy smile is a lie. His eyes hold a constant, dangerous storm, his home is full of secrets, and he has sworn off feeling anything real for anyone. The moment their worlds collide, they don't just fall; they break open. María is the calm he never knew he needed, and he's the dangerous chaos she should have run from the second she saw him. This is Don't Fall, Not Yet. Told in dual POV, this story is about the fight for identity, the ugly price of loyalty, and the devastating violence of secrets. It's about the impossible choice between protecting the people you love... and destroying them completely. Mature Audience Warning: 18+ Although María and Marcus's journey begins in high school, it will follow them into adulthood. Expect explicit content, strong language, messy emotions, and raw moments that don't shy away from the real challenges of growing up. I'm doing my best to reflect the richness and challenges of both Mexican and Anglo-American Elite experiences with honesty and care. If I ever miss the mark, please (gently) let me know-I'm always open to learning and doing better. Please read, share, vote, follow, and leave a comment. I'd love to hear your thoughts as you join María and Marcus on this unforgettable journey. © Scarlett Moon, 2025 This is a work of fiction. All rights reserved.

The Heart KNOWS | Ongoing | Vihaan×Indhu
#Book1 of The Heart Series (English and Tanglish) VIHAAN MALHOTRA × INDHU RAJAN "That's what you do, isn't it?" His voice was sharp, edged with something dangerously close to anger. I frowned. What the hell is he talking about? "What-" I started, but he cut me off. "Always craving attention. From everyone... from every man-"The words barely left his mouth before my hand struck his cheek. A sharp slap, loud in the quiet room. Wow. Four years. Four whole years since I last saw him, and the first thing I do? Slap my first love. Great. Just great. ──── ୨୧ ──── Indhu walked away from love, heartbreak, and the boy who once shielded her in the rain, Vihaan. He was her first love, the one she believed never saw her the same way. What she thought was an unrequited crush turned into a painful memory, marked by misunderstandings and unresolved emotions. They met again through the wedding of Indhu's best friend, Aadya and Vihaan's older brother Arnav, an event that should have been a happy beginning but instead left her heartbroken. Convinced she had moved on, she built a life on her own terms-until Vihaan reappeared. Vihaan, cold and unreadable, never let anyone get close-especially not Indhu. He buried his feelings, mistaking distance for control. But when the truth behind their past finally comes to light, he refuses to let her slip away again. Now bound to the man she tried to forget, Indhu finds herself trapped between past wounds and present desires. And as possessive tension, lingering resentment, and years of unspoken longing collide, she fights to guard her heart while Vihaan struggles to claim what was always his. But in a game of denial and temptation, who will surrender first? ──── ୨୧ ──── (This is my first book, so there may be a few mistakes or small inconsistencies, but it won't affect the reading. I'll be fixing everything once the book is completed❤️😭)
Back to you
"Your body speaks louder than your words,"- he said adamantly. "Your beautiful face is trying to hide emotions, but your eyes are giving you away." He got even closer. "I know you feel it too," - his voice was getting barely audible, "But there's a war going on in your heart and in your head." ______________________________________ "I'll take care of everything, and you just be with me,"- he said in a whisper ______________________________________ "You're very beautiful," - Arthur said, and after a moment added, "I wish you could see yourself the way I see you." ______________________________________ "Don't you see? I always choose you. You're even more important to me than I am to myself," - he said. ______________________________________ The unexpected meeting of two people who once loved each other is fatal. It will definitely revive the old feeling, that seemed to have passed a long time ago. It turned the lives of the characters upside down, making it even more painful. Arthur Medson is confident, charming, talented and calm. He always achieved everything on his own, successful business, money, foundation. But everything changes instantly when, thirteen years later, he accidentally meets his first and only love again, which he so stupidly lost. Kornelia Harris is smart, beautiful and intelligent. She always dreamed of doing art. Now her wish has come true, because she is going to marry the most influential person in this area. These people seemed to be living their best lives.

Are they ready to sacrifice everything for love?Lengkap
