Through different encounters with Abeni, they are enamored of her.
Abeni, an author, is done with love. After a bad breakup, the twenty-eight-year-old hits rock bottom. The love of writing becomes dry and stale. As an inspiring author, she is torn between pursuing writing and another career. Would writing satisfy her again? When Abeni gives up, she decides to focus on her work as a new editorial assistant in New York.
When she stumbles into Mateo and Luis's lives, she is drawn to them. If Mateo and Luis's attraction to Abeni grows, how will this further complicate things? Their families are strong believers in monogamous relationships. With the power of this belief, things get complicated. Can Abeni deny this forbidden attraction? The idea of them will forever haunt her.

She Called Me Dandelion
She wasn't looking for salvation- just survival. But when Dani steps into Amadora Quintero's world, survival begins to look a lot like surrender. This is a story of restraint stretched thin, humiliation turned intimate, and desire that bites only to lick the wound. -♥*♥- Dani is a traveler turned reluctant nanny after her world is upended. Drifting from place to place her whole life, she's learned to survive off scraps of kindness and the lessons strangers leave behind. But when she takes a job in the home of Amadora Quintero, a sharp-tongued prosecutor and single mother with a daughter as fiery as she is, Dani finds herself in uncharted territory. Amadora has built her career on control: in the courtroom, in her home, and within herself. But since Dani's arrival, restraint has begun to feel less like strength and more like a chain she's itching to break. Dani isn't sure if she's stepping into safety or surrender, and Amadora isn't sure if she wants to protect the girl... or ruin her. (Full Synopsis + warnings inside)
A Love Like Ours
"Why the hell won't you just admit it?!" I yelled at him. "Admit what?!" He asked. "The REAL reason why you don't want to be with me! It's cause I'm too fat and cause I'm white and you are so afraid as to what your friends might think, aren't you?!" I snapped at him. "You don't know shit!" He snaps right back at me. "Oh no? Why can't you just tell me? I can take the rejection!" I snap again at him. He starts stomping his way over towards me and raises both my hands against the wall and above my head as he leans in closer to me just inches from my lips. "You think I don't want to be with you because I'm too embarrassed because of how big you are or that your white? You really think I could give two shits as to what anyone including my friends think about us? Well I don't. I could give two shits about what anyone thinks! So stop fucking assuming you know me or what I'm thinking cause you don't!" He fires back at me. "Well then what is it then huh?" I asked. "You wouldn't understand. But do me a favor and stop pretending that you know me when you don't." He says. We both then stand there for a moment looking in each others eyes and then he leans in closer and smashes his lips onto mine. © Copyright 2019 All Rights ReservedComplete
In The Devil Hands
Imagine your father-a once honorable and loving man, now desperate and powerless-can no longer pay the unforgiving gambling debt he had stacked up for decades. And because he's unable to be that protective and respected father he once was, he sells his only daughter to a notorious Mexican gang leader as collateral just to save himself from death.

As soon as her birthday came around, she was bombarded with devastating news that she would no longer have control of her life. She was now owned by a random man due to an issue she had no association with, unable to escape or hide from his ruthlessness, conniving ways, and inhumane behavior. Since becoming the new leader of the Mexican gang, The Black Shadow, Santiago Alejandro de la Vega vowed to maintain that mysterious and demeaning atmosphere the organization has been carrying for years. He handled business as he saw fit: coldblooded, devious, haunting, and dirty. No one ever thought to play with him out of fear of what he could and would do if tried, except for one. A woman who was given to him as collateral, a hardheaded piece of property that angered every cell in his body and made his job more difficult than it had ever been. As badly as he wants to send her away to the mountains-avoid having to constantly deal with her attitudes and sass-Santiago finds her rebelliousness intriguing enough to keep her around. Emotions flare. Feelings emerge. Problems spark. The Devil holds rules and codes of conduct to keep himself and his team in line. Any rule broken is met with severe consequences. But he couldn't help but risk breaking one for her. Published: 07/3/25 Ended:

When a snarky post about her celebrity crush Carmen Juarez catches the actor's attention, Vera wins her ticket to stardom.

When We Tune In Again
Some stories don't end. They just wait to be heard again. From the world of Radio Hearts comes When We Tune In Again-a slow-burn, second-chance romance filled with quiet yearning, late-night scripts, and the kind of love that never really goes away. In Radio Hearts, Mika and Kai captured hearts as two high school students hiding their feelings behind radio shows and shared silences. Now, years later, their story continues-older, wiser, and far more complicated. Mika de Guzman is doing her best to move forward. As a junior scriptwriter at PBK Broadcasting, her days revolve around deadlines, coffee, and keeping things strictly professional-until her past walks right through her front door. Kai Mendoza. Now a producer-director at PBK. Now her boss. Now... her unexpected roommate. They say it's temporary. A coincidence. Strictly work. But how do you stay detached when the person you once loved is suddenly everywhere-editing your scripts, sharing your space, and stirring up every quiet feeling you tried to bury? In high school, silence kept them safe. But now, those silences are louder than ever. And this time, there might not be anywhere left to hide. Perfect for fans of Before We Were Strangers by Renée Carlino, Normal People by Sally Rooney, and The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood, When We Tune In Again is a moving, character-driven romance about missed chances, creative intimacy, and finding your way back to the words left unsaid. Tropes: • Second-chance romance • Forced proximity • Workplace romance • Mutual pining • "There was only one bed" (emotionally, if not literally) • Creative partners to maybe-something-moreComplete
