Synopsis:In the quaint town of Willow Creek, nestled between the serene lake and the whispering woods, Emma Sullivan finds solace in her small bookstore, "Leaf Through." Life in Willow Creek is peaceful, predictable, and just a touch lonely for Emma, who secretly yearns for a love as enduring as the classic novels that line her shelves.

When a storm sweeps through town, it brings with it an unexpected stranger, Jack Harland, a charming yet enigmatic writer seeking solitude and inspiration.
Stranded by the weather, Jack stumbles into "Leaf Through," and into Emma's carefully constructed world.
Intrigued by his mysterious aura and disarmed by his wit, Emma finds herself drawn to Jack. As the days pass and the storm rages on, their fleeting encounters blossom into a tentative friendship. Yet, both Emma and Jack harbor pasts that have left them wary of love. Emma, nursing a heart bruised by a previous relationship, and Jack, carrying the weight of a secret that could upend his life.
As the seasons change and the storm clears, revealing the stunning beauty of Willow Creek, Emma and Jack must confront their fears. Together, they embark on an emotional journey, navigating the complexities of trust, vulnerability, and the courage it takes to open one's heart.

But when Jack's secret threatens to surface, and the tranquility of Willow Creek is disrupted, their budding romance is put to the test. Will the whispers of their hearts be enough to forge a bond that can overcome the shadows of their pasts?

Western Heat by MustangSabby
40 parts Complete Mature
A fish-out-of-water story about a New York City chef who inherits a ranch, discovers a family he never knew, and finds unexpected love with a fiercely loyal woman. For fans of western romance superstars like Lyla Sage and Elise Silver. New York City chef Jake West had it all, but a few strokes of a pen meant no more marriage. No more restaurant. No more big city lifestyle. Then he receives a call explaining that his long-estranged father, Brett, has died, and he needs to return to the Canadian ranch he left as a child. Jake expects to go, sign more papers, and return to the city and rebuild his future. Instead Jake learns that Brett's left the ranch to him-and only him. Things might have been hot in his restaurant's kitchen, but that's nothing compared to what he faces now: a family he didn't know existed, and a property he doesn't want. Tanner and Brady, his half-brothers, don't want him around. And while his stepmother, Peony, welcomes him, there's Liz, Peony's daughter. She's not a West, but her loyalties lie with the family, not an outsider. However, as Jake settles into the rhythms of the ranch, he wonders if he's finally found something that's been missing in his life-especially as he and Liz grow closer. At first, it's just attraction, but when a sudden kiss ignites a heat in both of them, they can't ignore this raging inferno. Maybe Brett West knew what he was doing when he summoned his eldest son back home-and gave him a chance to change his life forever. This is Book 1 of the West Line Ranch Series. Book 2 - Western Connection and Book 3 - Western Flame, are currently available to read on Wattpad In bookstores January 20th, 2026!

Marcus Thorne wears several masks in his life-playing retired pirate, Captain Hawk, is his favorite, but if his secret is discovered, he could die. Captivated by his enemy's daughter, Marcus kidnaps her, but in turn, she captures his heart... until he discovers Isabelle is one of Napoleon's spies with the power to endanger his life and the lives of his friends. After her release, Isabelle can't stop thinking about her masked abductor and how he'd stolen her heart before ridding her of his presence. Betrothed to a man who strangely reminds her of the man whose kisses set her ablaze, she marries him, only to discover he's not who he seemed to be and is withholding secrets. But then, so is she. Content warning: This story contains a mild amount of violence and kidnapping... along with plenty of falling in love.
