I got tired of waiting
Wonderin' if you were ever comin' around
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said
Romeo, save me, I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you, but you never come
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think...
- Love Story by Taylor Swift
"And your will shall decide your destiny,"
I offer you my hand, my heart, and a share of all my possessions
I ask you to pass through life at my side-to be my second self, and best earthly companion."
- Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
"My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
My love as deep; the more I give to thee,
The more I have, for both are infinite."
-Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare
Megan Mui is a young girl in Hong Kong who has had a crush on Mateo Lau for years. She is overjoyed when he asks her out on a date. But everyone knows that the greatest love stories always end in tragedy......
Mateo Lau is the most popular boy at school, but he has a crush on nerdy, bookish Megan Mui. He then musters up the courage to ask her out. But the goddess of love is fickle......
Megan and Mateo experience many trials on their journey to the palace of love. For instance, Megan's sister, Megone, is eager to cause trouble between the two, for she loves Mateo herself, and is willing to do anything, truly ANYTHING to get him.
This is a slow-burn, modern romance retelling of two classics, Romeo and Juliet and Jane Eyre, with dual POVs from Megan and Mateo (as well as some others), chock full of betrayal and conflict.
P.S.: This is a book collaboration with @flxtters, and this book is also on her account. You can read her copy or mine.

Not Without You
NOTE: I REVISED BEFORE YOU GO, SO THERE WILL BE SOME MISINFORMATION IN THIS ONE REGARDING LEON & ELIZA'S RELATIONSHIP. I WILL FIX IT SOON, THOUGH! * I would HIGHLY recommend reading BEFORE YOU GO and THE ONE YOU FIGHT FOR before you read this novel. This novel is a criss-cross between them and will include some major spoilers!* Leo Sangster has a bucket list tucked away safely, folded between the pages of his favourite book. And it's been there for nearly fifteen years. He hasn't tried to read it. He can't. He won't. Because that one piece of paper is a large piece of his father -- someone he's never met and never will be able to meet. But as Leo finds himself heading to Whistler, BC to explore where his father was born and who he was before he died in a car accident, he begins to wonder if that bucket list could give him any clues. Aria Madden is the daughter of the now-retired, famous NHL player, Luke Madden. Anyone would consider that a lot to live up to, but Aria is content with her current position. In January, she'll be competing in the Winter Olympics for Canada's women's hockey team. Over the summer, she's going to be training in Whistler, BC with the rest of the team, all while staying at her aunt's house. But even though it seems like she has everything under control, Aria is stuck in a whirlwind of anxiety. While she's happy and excited that her hard work has paid off, she's worried she won't live up to her father's legacy. When Leo and Aria cross paths on a fateful summer day, they're thrown into the chaos of an unforgettable summer adventure -- filled with charming and mysterious people, astounding views, and alpine air. But as the summer continues on and the heat is amped up, undeniable chemistry begins to brew between the two of them. But what happens when summer ends and they have to go their separate ways? Will they give up on the chemistry or will they find a way to make it work?Concluída
Sincerely Yours
In 1800s England, a well-meaning but selfish young woman will do anything to avoid matrimony to the county's finest suitors and to justly prove she doesn't need a husband to find her way in society. Even under the peril of her uncle losing his property and business to debt. In all but two months, she must prove to her family she's more than capable without a husband and can, in fact, exceed society's expectations of the female sex. But what woman can write what she hardly knows of the world, and its secrets? And most of all, how far is she willing to prove herself toward society and the Lord? At what cost for love? Maxmillian Knightley has returned from university in London, now facing the looming title of marquis. With that title comes responsibility to interact with those he despises most, and with which he must fight for his inheritance. But how far will he go in order to grow favor in the scrutiny of society and his stiff-neck father? He may be everything a woman of the ton looks for in a husband - titled, wealthy, and cheek bones that can draw in any woman - but he is in no mood to humor eligible women by participating in all things reformed. The question is: how far will he go to do everything against his own sensibility and judgment? For inheritance ... or for loyalty and love? The only common enlightenment between two entirely different sexes? A fondness for penmanship and our humorous Lord who writes the very novelty of life itself. And what happens if proving oneself leads to something quite worse? When it comes to love, making the right choices, these two are their own worst enemies.

Sunsets and Second chances (a short Tayvis Story)
**Summary:** Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have known each other their entire lives. Travis, Austin's best friend and Taylor's older brother, spent much of his childhood at their house, playing football in their backyard and raiding their fridge without hesitation. But for Taylor, Travis was always just the loud, annoying best friend of her brother-essentially the big brother she never asked for. Between sarcastic jabs and irritated glances, their relationship never progressed beyond mutual tolerance. However, this year, both families decide to rent a house together for a vacation at a picturesque lakeside cabin. The days are filled with barbecues, fishing trips, and afternoons on the water. Trapped under the same roof for two weeks, Taylor and Travis have no choice but to put up with each other. But as the days go by, their dynamic begins to shift. One evening, by the campfire, Travis surprises Taylor by quoting a book she thought he'd never read. Later, she begins to see a vulnerability in him that he hides behind humor and confidence. On the other hand, Travis realizes that Taylor, far from being the annoying little sister he once thought she was, is stronger, smarter, and more charming than he ever imagined. Through kayaking excursions, impromptu water fights, and a ridiculous bet that forces them to spend an entire day helping each other, the two start seeing one another in a new light. But as they grow closer, their family-especially Austin-starts to notice the lingering looks and shared laughter. The vacation then becomes a real test: Taylor and Travis must decide if they're willing to risk their family dynamics and childhood friendship to explore this unexpected connection. **"Sunsets and Second Chances"** is a bittersweet romance, full of childhood memories, unexpected discoveries, and a love blossoming by a lake where anything seems possible.Concluída
