Mature

Harper possessed a rare talent - she could blend two worlds that the universe swore could never coexist: her humdrum life as an accountant by day with her steamy famous alter ego crafting erotic tales online by night.
  
  But her double life unravels in the blink of an eye when a workday hiccup forces her out the door. The twist of fate that awaits her? A showdown at the local grocery store, with a steely-eyed, pizza-thieving artist named Aiden Mitchell.
  
  Aiden, with his unwavering commitment to realism in art (and life), is a force to be reckoned with. Harper's world of fantasies and escapism clash head-on with his no-nonsense approach. 
  
  Pixels collide with prose, ink mingles with sparks, and amidst this artistic clash, Harper and Aiden are about to embark on a rollercoaster of chaos and comedy.
  
  Their journey, peppered with fierce rivalries, unexpected discoveries, and more heated showdowns than they ever bargained for, leads them to answer one question: can love be made out of inks and pixels?

GREED ✔️ by veronicasoli

The Art of Being Lost by vv6424

His gaze softened, his lips almost touching mine. "Then stop pushing me away, Cassie." Before I could think, his lips brushed against mine, and everything shifted. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ In The Art of Being Lost, Cassie, a reclusive girl who hides her tender heart behind solitude, spends her days wandering the quiet aisles of her favorite bookstore.
