A Shelter of thorns

Sheltered and coddled by her loving but average family, her world is small, safe, and predictable. That all shatters when she follows her brother to Tokyo for a fresh start. But her brother's secret gambling habit plunges them into a nightmare. He didn't just borrow money-he borrowed from Kenzo Sato, the most feared and powerful Oyabun of the Yakuza in Japan. Now, to protect her brother's life, Amara must leave her quiet job at the bank and work off his massive debt in Kenzo's front: an exclusive, members-only cafe in the heart of Shinjuku.

Kenzo Sato is a vision of controlled chaos-sharp suits over intricate tattoos, a piercing gaze that sees everything, and a billionaire empire built on power and respect. He is everything her sheltered life taught her to fear. To Amara, he's utterly terrifying. To Kenzo, she's an exotic breath of fresh air-a innocence he never knew he craved. He makes her a new offer: become his exclusively. His companion. His obsession. In return, her brother's debt vanishes and she will want for nothing. It's a gilded cage that promises to lift her from poverty and change her life forever.

Fate's Design
After graduating high school, Y/N slips into a quiet, ordinary life-one without celebration, big plans, or the kind of friendships everyone else seemed to find so easily. She spends her days helping at her aunt's flower shop, where time moves slowly and everything feels safe, simple, and still. It's not exciting, but it's hers. Then one afternoon, Ryan walks in-an idol adored by millions, always in the spotlight, always being seen. He's known for his success, his presence, and the way people gravitate toward him without even trying. But behind the fame is someone who doesn't say much. Ryan is observant, soft-spoken, and quietly thoughtful-someone who listens more than he speaks and carries a warmth that doesn't need to be loud to be felt. In Y/N's quiet world, Ryan finds something he never expected: peace. And in Ryan's world, Y/N discovers the connection, laughter, and friendship she always longed for but never truly had. As their lives begin to gently intertwine, a quiet bond forms-something real, something slow, something that feels like home. Fate's Design is a tender love story about two people from very different worlds finding comfort in each other's presence, healing in the softest ways, and learning that sometimes, love isn't loud-it's felt in the stillness.Complete

But as the years passed, friendship turned into something softer... deeper. Grace fell first - and she fell hard. When she finally confessed, their story almost became something more. Almost.

But fate has a habit of bringing the past back when you least expect it. Because one ordinary afternoon, she sees him again - her first love - standing in the same university canteen. The same smile. The same eyes. The same boy who once broke her heart. As old memories resurface and unspoken feelings linger, Grace must decide whether love that once faded can ever bloom again. Is there such a thing as second chances? Or are some stories meant to stay in the past?Complete

How To Fall In Love, Ruin Everything and Still End Up With Potatoes
How To Fall In Love, Ruin Everything and Still End Up With Potatoes: Three hearts. One sarcastic Girl. Zero chill. Love was never supposed to be this complicated -or this hilarious. __________ Riana didn't ask to be the star of a love triangle. She just wanted to survive high school with decent grades, her hoodie collection intact, and maybe only mild emotional damage. But fate (and her absurdly sarcastic personality) had other plans. Enter Skylar: hoodie-wearing, hair-flipping, secret-softie with a jealousy problem and a tragic habit of confessing his feelings on an impulse. And then there's Kaizen: her charming, childhood best friend with a smirk that could start a fire (literally-he once brought a flaming rose), who shows up out of nowhere and remembers everything she's forgotten. What follows is a whirlwind of accidental almost-kisses, sabotage-by-potato, dramatic slow-mo hallway showdowns, emotional mangoes, and a squirrel who might be more emotionally stable than everyone involved. Riana? She's just trying to survive Spirit Week, avoid being the human center of gravity in a rom-com plot, and maybe figure out which boy she's actually in love with before someone skydives off the gym roof with a banner. It's hilarious. It's chaotic. It's very low in chill. Because love? Yeah. Love is war. With snacks. ____________Complete
