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
The Duke's Unbothered Villainess
Waking up with boobs, beauty, and deadly lightning powers wasn't on Abby's bingo card-but then again, neither was dying of a terminal illness and reincarnating as a bullied noblewoman in a magical kingdom. Now Lady Abby MacMayer has one goal: live loud, live free, and never be a victim again. With a sword in one hand and sarcasm in the other, she shocks the realm-literally-and catches the eye of the kingdom's most powerful and brooding mage, Duke Alaric. He's duty. She's chaos. He trains her to control her power. She ruins his peace of mind. The sparks? Not just magical. But when a war brews, a dungeon rift opens, and a prophecy threatens the man she loves, Abby vanishes in battle... only to return years later with no memory and no magic. Everyone believes she's lost. Only the queen knows she remembers everything-and is hiding the truth to protect Alaric from a fate worse than heartbreak. Lightning may strike twice... but love? Love will burn through time, lies, and destiny itself.
When We Meet Again
They met when they were six - a shy girl with flower pins in her hair and a boy with a grin too bright for the classroom.

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. One late-night message changed everything. And just like that, the girl who dreamed of forever and the boy who once promised always became strangers. Eight years later, Grace is twenty-one - a business student with new dreams, new friends, and a heart she swore she'd never risk again. 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.

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.
