The Three-Month Rule is a heartfelt and relatable story about Isabella Stone, a 20-year-old woman navigating the ups and downs of modern dating. After a string of disappointing encounters with guys who were more interested in hookups than meaningful connections, Isabella has all but given up on finding someone special. However, after some encouragement from her mother, she reluctantly gives a premium dating app another try. There, she meets Shawn-a charming, sweet, and seemingly perfect match.
As they exchange messages and grow closer, Isabella begins to feel hesitant about the possibility of a real connection, fearing that their chemistry online might not translate into something tangible in person. But when they finally meet for a date, Isabella finds herself more excited than nervous. What follows is an exploration of love, vulnerability, and the joy of meeting someone who may just be everything you've been waiting for-if you can let your guard down long enough to find out.
This story takes readers on an emotional journey through the rollercoaster of online dating, self-doubt, and the hope that true love is just around the corner. Will Isabella's hesitations prove true, or will Shawn be the guy she's been looking for all along?

[Slow Brew Series 1 of 2] [Completed] Look, I didn't mean to embarrass myself the first time I walked into Brewing Grounds. Or the second. Or...every other time since. But something about the place-and the barista with the messy ponytail and the glasses that she pushes up her nose-makes me forget how to form actual sentences. Bea. Her name's Bea. She spelled mine wrong on my cup the first day (Ell-yot Hayul), and now I'm kind of obsessed. Not with her. With medium lattes. With her handwriting. With the little hearts she scribbles on my cups. Okay... maybe a little bit with her. The point is: I'm a walking disaster around her, and I'm pretty sure she knows it. And okay, maybe I started showing up every morning at exactly 7:30 just to see her. And maybe I've been reading up on how to flirt because I thought that might help (it hasn't). But honestly, what's the worst that could happen? I embarrass myself again? (Already done that.) Spill coffee on my tie? (Happened last week.) Accidentally fall in love with the barista who writes flirty notes on my coffee cups? Oh, wait...

A tale where emotions run deep even when they're buried beneath anger, silence, and duty. She's fierce, free spirited, and unpredictable a 24 year old with a heart full of spark, rebellion, and unapologetic dreams. He's mature, composed, and everything she swore she'd never fall for a 28 year old man bound by rules, reputation, and silence. They're nothing alike. She's chaos. He's calm. She questions everything. He follows structure. But sometimes, it's the opposites that burn the brightest when they collide. When their worlds crash into each other, sparks fly but not the pretty kind. It's messy. It's intense. And beneath all that chaos... something begins to grow something they both try to deny. A journey that starts with misunderstandings, cold stares, and unexpected encounters... A story where hatred slowly softens into something unspoken. Where boundaries blur. And hearts, unknowingly, begin to lean in. Tropes you'll find in this story: • Arranged Marriage • Professor x Student • Chaotic Couple • Slow Burn Romance • Opposite attracts This is not your typical romance. It's about stolen glances, denial, unsaid feelings, broken rules and hidden care and the slow unfolding of affection that was never supposed to happen.

Moonlight Kisses
"Why are you doing that!" she whisper-screams while her eyes flit to the other guys, who are now immersed in something else that isn't us. I kiss that spot again, making her whole body shiver. It's oddly entertaining to watch what my slightest movements do to her. Usually it takes a lot more for a girl to unravel this way, but her breath hitches each time I go to kiss her neck. I could only imagine what my hands could do to her body. "You still didn't answer my question," she huffs harshly. And still she hasn't pulled away from me. Had I been any stupider, I'd say Jordyn was actually enjoying herself. If she hates this so badly, why hasn't she asked me to stop? [] In August, Jordyn Reeve starts attending Crestview Prep and not long after strikes a deal with Beau Clemonte, an arrogant, rude boy who happens to be the thing that can give her what she wants: his best friend, Jake Amherst. Of course, everything worthwhile must come with a price. Despite her outright opinions, Jordyn makes a deal with the devil. Or at least that's what that's what she saw at first -- a coldhearted, stubborn asshole that cared even less than she did. Her only intention was to see this out to get the guy. However, it wasn't that simple for Beau. Cover created by: @meha-k Started October 2020 Completed January 2022Complete
From Osaka, With Love
Hailey Skye Thompson didn't fly halfway across the world for love. She came to Osaka for a one-semester exchange, chasing her dream of exploring Japan while studying industrial engineering. Her goals were simple: survive language class, take cute photos of vending machines, and maybe stop getting lost in train stations. Enter Shun Yamazaki-mechanical engineering major, black sheep of a high-profile political family, and walking Pinterest board in silver rings and a hoodie. Their first meeting? An awkward rescue mission involving tears, croquettes, and a language barrier. Their second, third, fourth? Completely accidental... or so she thought. He's frustratingly charming. She's flustered and totally not crushing. What starts as playful run-ins turns into quiet glances at class, hoodie-lending, flirty texts, and moments she's scared to name. But semesters don't last forever. With her flight back to Michigan fast approaching, Hailey writes a letter she may never send-and wonders if love found in a foreign city can survive the distance. Because some goodbyes feel too soon. And some people feel too right to let go. A love story stitched across time zones, hoodie sleeves, late-night calls, and a goodbye letter never meant to be given. Welcome to the city where it all started- From Osaka, With Love.Complete
