Sparks fly between charity-shop owner Naomi Wu and grumpy app developer Leon Fink, as they travel to tropical Thailand in search of Leon's runaway bride and a priceless family heirloom.
* * *
Naomi Wu is a staunch believer in good karma.
Which is probably why she has a hard time saying no to people who come to her for help. So when an old friend calls and says she wants to stand her heartless fiancé at the altar, Naomi reluctantly agrees to become her getaway driver.
Afterwards, Naomi returns to the safety of her small charity shop in sleepy Burford, Washington, satisfied with yet another successful collection of good karma.
...until said heartless fiancé descends on her like a raging monsoon.
Leon Fink is a dating app developer whose lack of empathy has caused many to call him a high-functioning robot. He is driven, intense, and does not welcome surprises, good *or* bad.
Obviously, Leon is left fuming when his fiancée bails on their wedding for an impromptu trip to Thailand with his grandmother's ring in tow...possibly the only thing he cares about more than himself.
Despite their clashing personalities, the unlikely duo travel to Thailand in pursuit of the runaway bride and priceless heirloom, encountering mishaps along the way. But when sparks begin to fly between Naomi and Leon, they'll soon realize that sometimes when you're too busy looking for what you want, you end up missing what you truly need.
'Karma Colada' is a story of how one woman's good deed can change a man's life forever.

THE FEELINGS WE NEVER PLANNED
[This story runs parallel to Melodies on a Canvas. You don't have to read that book fully, it can be read as a standalone, but please take a look at the Authors note first.] ANNA LORRAINE - a focused and serious assistant manager at work. Poised. Composed. Locked in. She solves problems with a cool calm and quiet elegance. Outside of work? That's a whole different story. She's dramatic, chaotic, and will go to wild lengths for the people she loves. ALEX ANDERSON - a famous event planner who manages events without a single flaw, like he's just styling his hair. Cool, serious, a little arrogant. He doesn't tolerate mistakes-not at work. But off-duty? He does a full 180. He's sarcastic, chaotic, tells bad jokes, and lives to pass up funny comments. So what happens when the two of them are forced to work together? Both headstrong. Both allergic to errors. One refuses to take criticism. The other is smug and thrives on pushing buttons. One thing's for sure: There will be arguments. There will be banter. And there will absolutely be "I can't stand this person" energy. But when their past starts to catch up with them, will either of them be willing to get vulnerable? Follow the journey of Anna and Alex as they go from "I can't stand you" to "you're bearable enough to have a forever." ~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~ STARTED:- 3 AUGUST 2025 END:- ?
Sweet Tea (Completed)
Tallulah Horn has decided love isn't for her. Love is for cliche romance movies. It's for the students she counsels on a daily basis. It's for her ridiculously perfectly-matched brother and sister-in-law who wound up head over heels without even trying. But for the sweet Miss Horn? Love is a thing of her past rather than her future. At least, not until she runs into Lance Caster. Literally. Now she can't get his warm, sweet eyes--the perfect cup of tea--out of her head. Lance Caster is lost. After a string of unfortunate encounters, he's been discharged from the army--honorably on paper but not in reality--and is stuck in his childhood home, unsure how to get his life back on track. He never pictured himself working as a security guard on a university campus, but the proximity to a certain peppy counselor isn't without allure. Both Lance and Tallulah are hesitant to avoid the mistakes of their past, but like a pot of tea, their relationship grows stronger and sweeter each moment spent together. But too much fire might spoil the pot, and boiling secrets from the past risk brewing into bitterness as Tallulah's estranged husband steps back into the picture.Complete

Perfect Fate ✔ (Moved To Inkitt)
Wattpad Creator! Happy and proud. HIM: Staying the night? Not my thing. Hearts and flowers? Boring. Falling in love? Not anytime soon. Settling down? Off the table. Getting married? You're kidding me, right? That was me before the night we first met. Because, well, meeting a hot chick that made me hard just by looking at her was definitely not in my plans when I sneaked out of a woman's apartment after what was already a long night. Taking her home and getting her a chocolate cake, though, was kind of intentional. But falling for her? Boy, that was pretty much inevitable. HER: He came out of nowhere, literally. I was there, sitting on that bench, barefoot and crying and just getting my heart broken in peace and silence. Then he appeared, all mad and furious and sexy and tall and just drool-worthy! And just like that, despite my poor attempts of escaping him, he had me wrapped in his world. A crazy yet heart-fluttering world, that I have absolutely no intentions of leaving anytime soon. ------- Character development is a main theme in this book.

"Sergei.." "What's the matter, milaya?" He taunted softly. "You didn't want this kind of attention from the start?" "You know I did." "Then stop being so shy and spread those pretty legs wider for me." *** Gianna Martine never thought looking for her lost dog would end up with another loyal, muscular, dangerous and obsessed bigger dog. Sergei Sokolov didn't think he was capable of obsession until one sassy, doe-eyed beauty turned his world upside down. She sassed him and instead of walking away like a sane man, he decided she was his. What starts as an 'accidental' encounter turns into a love story neither of them saw coming. Sergei is ruthless, dangerous, and unapologetically protective. Gianna is fiery, independent, and constantly testing his patience. It began with a lost dog... but their story is anything but ordinary.

Hardwired For Him✓
Confidence is a hell of a drug, and for Skylar Evans, the high is magnificent-but the comedown is a total fucking bitch. It starts with the catastrophic snap of a heel and ends with a face-plant into the expensive, custom-tailored chest of a man who looks like he owns the sunrise-and probably the bank you keep your meager savings in. Fresh out of the Ivy League, armed with elite coding skills and a caffeine addiction she refuses to apologize for, Skylar wants one thing only. Control. Over her career. Her future. Her heart. Then she meets Carlos D'Artagnan. He is the devil in a bespoke suit. A predator who breathes strategy and exhales liquid heat, wearing a smile that promises heaven while his silver gaze drags you straight to hell. He is elegance sharpened into a weapon, a towering monolith of power built on a foundation of secrets and scars. The moment his eyes lock onto hers, the air in the room doesn't just thin-it catches fire. In that one, soul-stripping look, Skylar realizes the encryption on her heart has been bypassed; her carefully guarded life is about to be dismantled, piece by agonizing piece. One reckless encounter drags her into his orbit of corporate warfare and whispered betrayals. Carlos thought he had buried the monster he used to be, but the past is a debt that always collects. Now, it's rising to reclaim him, and Skylar is the only collateral he's not willing to lose.Complete

Plus, she has an unhealthy obsession with the color Blue. Did I mention they both love trivia? However, a car accident, a council meeting, and his best friend's sudden interest in the woman develop all sorts of crazy emotions in him.
