"Welcome to The Love Boat Diner, a place where the midnight hour stretches until morning and ‘Mickey’s burger’ can cure even the most vicious of heartbreaks. Sit in a booth, order a milkshake and watch the world come alive. Life may be harsh and the weather may be cold - but inside, the coffee is piping hot and a slice of pie is never too far away..."
The Love Boat Diner has been Ophelia ‘Phee’ Mather’s haven for as long as she can remember. So, it seems like a good place as any for Phee to sit single and alone on Valentine’s Day. In the midst of a persistent bout of insomnia and a pair of cupcake pyjama pants, she sits in her booth with a vanilla milkshake, watching the world go by.
It is here on this night (in booth number seven, to be exact), that Phee watches Johnny and Celeste fall in love.
This is a love story.
It just isn’t hers.

Go Against Destiny ✓
★𝐀𝐌𝐁𝐘𝐒 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 𝐓𝐎𝐏 𝐏𝐈𝐂𝐊/𝐅𝐀𝐕𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐄 - 𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄 𝐍𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐀★ Neither of them had total confidence in destiny. Not even when they started to see the invisible red strings that bound people to their soul mates. Not especially when they learned who the other person was at the end of their own thread. University educators, Sky De Vera and JP Nieves, were connected soul mates, but they refused to be controlled by fate. In a battle between chance and choice, would this pair be able to break away from their red string? Or would they fall into destiny's trap that they were desperately trying to avoid? A standalone spin-off of Their Parallel Universe, set six years back. Mature contents: - depiction of child neglect and psychological child abuse in a few flashbacks. - a bit of suggestive scenes and risque language on the last chapter. No smut and nothing sexually explicit. * Other than those, the whole story is pretty lighthearted. 2024 AMBY AWARD Top Pick for Romance Novellas Padauk Mini Awards Second Place - Best Characters Rose Awards 2023 Third Place - Best Blurb 7x Featured: @SpeculativeFiction (December 2023) @Romance (January 2024) @StoriesUndiscovered (March 2024) @NARomance (April 2024) @APIFantasy (June 2024) @mythandlegend (June 2024) @Fantasy (June 2024)Complete

Perfect Strangers
Follow my Instagram for any updates and if you have any questions: @nikki_k123 Alex has been living the same life, with the same routine, repeating it every day. Every day is the same. The one thing she does look forward to is going to cafe de l'amour every morning on her way to school, where she sits and writes, all while seeing Carter Reed. The most popular boy at school who, surprisingly, prefers the solitary life. They go to the same cafe every day, sit at the same tables every day, and notice each other every day, yet are strangers who have never uttered a word to one another. And strangers they shall remain. Perfect strangers. But that's about to change. . . . . . I watched as he kept his eyes trained on the notebook in front of him where he aimlessly drew spirals and coils that surrounded each other, trapped each other, and suffocated each other. My eyes traced the movement of his pen, following each line he drew onto the paper. "Your tea." I snapped out of my trance and looked up, thanking Katy before she went back to the counter. I turned back and caught him looking at me. I expected him to look away and continue acting like I don't exist. Like he's always done and so have I. What I didn't expect was for him to walk right over and sit with me. "Hi, I'm Carter." PSA: This story is inspired by the Wattpad novel 'Caffeine' by @meddlingkids ALL RIGHTS RESERVEDComplete

Can't wait to read more! [heart]" - carolinegraced "I'm so hooked already" - a_lost_feather "From the summary I had a lot of expectation of a one night stand, one and done type of thing with drama to follow up in later chapters. What I got was something different. The beautiful descriptions of the beach town made me feel warm and cozy and kept me reading until these two characters were introduced. I thought their meeting was innocent and sweet, not what I was expecting. It was really good." - CourtneyPeterman0Complete
