After being pushed by her extroverted brother Danny to go on an impromptu vacation in the mountains, Millicent realized just how isolated she had become over the past year. While the trip showed her just how much she missed human interaction, she found herself at war with herself. Was she ready for a real connection? Was it all just in her head? Would anyone really be willing to put up with all her baggage? She had a hard time believing someone would. Still, She couldn't seem to get her mind off her brother's friend, Max. Constantly torn between the two Millicent's in her mind, she felt lost.
A quiet, intimidating, and attractive man, Max was unbothered by most things in life. He was incredibly observant, and found himself focusing on one person in particular. But he couldn't get invested with his best friend's sister. At least he thought so.

Beside
''Tell me how it feels,'' he whispers. "Good," I gasp, my entire body trembling. Deeper. Harder. Perfect. Like we've been doing this for years. His hand finds my jaw, fingers firm as he tilts my head up, making me look at him. And that's it. Waves of heat zip to my toes as my nails scrape down his back. I don't think about what comes next -- him pulling his shirt on and leaving. I don't feel heartbroken when I imagine myself alone in here. It's casual, our intimacy. And it's too late to renegotiate. ***** When Fox hooks up with his new roommate at a masked club, he has no idea their fling is just the beginning. The woman he's living with is the same girl who shared candy with him under a playground slide. 𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙨 𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙨𝙩 𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙨 𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙨 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣 STANDALONE NOVEL *ANGSTY EMOTIONAL SLOW BURN *MEN YEARNING Copyright © 2024-present Laurel Montaze (immoralLaurel).

Her Safe Haven
"For him, she was adrenaline." . . . Winter McHalen seemed to have everything: parents who owned a multi-billion dollar company, two handsome brothers who just happened to get the loving-brothers genes, and a ridiculously beautiful look. One summer afternoon, however, a six-year-old Winter was kidnapped by her father's former rival and was traumatised into being mute. Ten years later, the current sixteen-year-old Winter still struggled to come to terms with her dark past. When she crossed path with the mysterious Rohan Garrison: heir to neighbouring international corporation, student council president, and a perfect gentleman who seemed to be harbouring much more secrets behind his stoic facade; the two kept finding themselves tumbling into each other's lives - with or without their own wills. He was aloof yet affable, she was bold yet reserved; he was neither a protector nor predator, she was neither a badass nor damsel-in-distress; but they were two qualities - both coexisting at the same time and were unpredictable variables in each other's lives. And they both didn't know whether to like or despise it. Watch Winter as she journeyed into adulthood and tried to get back the voice which she lost. With both existing as naturally opposing forces, could Rohan - with the help of her family, friends, and possibly other love interests - save Winter from her past, or will she be trapped forever in her affliction? {Highest: #1 in Young Adult #1 in General Fiction #5 in New Adult #226 in Teen Fiction 28/12/2019} *images used are not mineComplete

Tomorrow's Blues
~"You don't- you don't need me." I stared in shock. This was the first shred of emotion he'd shown since he started avoiding me, and I had no idea how to respond. What was I supposed to say to something like that? So I let myself be honest, and I told him exactly how I felt. "But I do." I almost choked on my words. "I do need you. I can't talk to anybody else. I can't eat. I can't sleep. And I know you know what that's like."~ Liliana is now an orphan.

Starlight
Michelle Brown had spent years convincing herself that Alessio Giovanni-her brother's best friend, the quiet man who barely spoke-was someone she'd eventually get over. She was wrong. When they were children and everyone else dismissed her, talked over her, made her feel invisible-he stayed. He listened. In a world that made her feel like too much, he was the only one who made her feel seen. Now, years later, Michelle has fallen back into the same darkness that's haunted her since she was thirteen. She tears herself apart in ways no one else ever could, seeing flaws where others see beauty. But Alessio has always seen her. Really seen her. He's noticed the exhaustion she hides, the self-hatred she carries, the way she shrinks when the world becomes too heavy. He's been drawn to her since they were kids-that pull growing stronger as she grew into herself, bolder and undeniably captivating in ways that made distance impossible. Now he's done staying silent. Done keeping his distance. She's gotten under his skin in ways that make him willing to cross every line he's drawn, to say things he's never said to anyone-all to pull her out of the darkness and make her understand what he's always known. She's his starlight. Burning, radiant, impossible to look away from. A light that cuts through his shadows and makes everything else irrelevant. And he'll do whatever it takes to make her see herself the way he does.

Ophelia
"I'd jump after you into the pit of fire if I had to, Ophelia. Don't question that, and don't you ever ask me not to." ________________ Lilia thought she knew loneliness. She thought she understood grief. Haunted by a painful past, she kept running-from city to city, never looking back. All she wanted was a place where no one knew her. Then Dominic Brooks walked into her life. Chaotic, intense, and impossible to ignore, he and his makeshift family threatened to shatter every wall she'd built. But what unsettles her most isn't Dominic's presence-it's the way he looks at her, like he already knows her. The way he calls her Ophelia, as if it means something. And the way, despite everything, he feels like home. _______________ "Ophelia." "Ophelia, please." Isn't it funny? How this nickname works so perfectly. The world pushed Ophelia to the edge of her sanity, throwing her into the inevitability of a tragic ending. Here I am, facing the same fate. But no writer will engrave my name in history. No painting will be named after me. I'm just another insignificant part of the big book of life. Just another iteration of Ophelia.Complete
