Emma is a guarded, strong-willed barista who has built high walls around her heart to keep the pain of her past at bay. Cold and distant, she's vowed never to let anyone get close again. But everything changes when she meets Aiden-a warm-hearted, sweet-natured artist with a love for painting and an unshakeable belief in the power of love.

Their worlds intertwine in the cozy corners of a quaint café, where Aiden's gentle persistence and infectious optimism start to melt Emma's icy facade. As a slow-burn romance begins to blossom, Emma finds herself drawn to Aiden's kindness, his art, and his unwavering faith in love, even as the shadows of her past threaten to pull her away.

Through moments of tension, humor, and heartfelt confessions, Emma and Aiden embark on a journey of healing, trust, and love. Together, they discover that love isn't just a fleeting feeling but a powerful force that can heal old wounds. And when a beautiful daughter joins their family, Emma learns that true love isn't about perfection but about commitment, shared dreams, and growing together.

The Tea Shop [mxm] by AmelieThompson

Elliot is, and has always been, stuck in his home town. Sure, it's a fairly large city. Sure, all his family and friends are there. Sure, he has a job he absolutely adores. But he still isn't happy. No matter how much he loves working in Auntie Mae's Tea shop, baking cakes day in and day out, he can't find it in himself to be happy. He knows exactly what's wrong; he has a dream. His dream is to one day move to Paris and open his own bakery. Baking is his passion, and he wants to devote his life to it. The only problem is that he can't seem to get away from his current life to start a new one. He once told himself his studies were holding him back. When he was done with those, he used the excuse of renovating the entire Tea Shop. Then, when he finally couldn't find any more excuses, he gave up. He knew he was waiting for something to happen. The problem? He didn't know what. But what about that man who recently started visiting the shop? He definitely wasn't one of the regulars; his face, you would recognize. He comes every evening at six o'clock, and stays for an hour. Could he be what Elliot is waiting for? *Deals with self-esteem issues which I've been told might be triggering*

Shattered Starlight by Hiitsme10507

Xavier Knight Xavier Knight isn't just a name-it's a legacy carved in both the opulence of modern luxury and the shadows of a tumultuous past. With a calculated brilliance that commands respect, Xavier has built an empire on relentless ambition and unyielding resolve. His presence is magnetic: from the impeccably tailored suits that accentuate his athletic frame to the piercing gaze that seems to see right through every facade. At first glance, Xavier embodies the epitome of wealth and power. His world is defined by towering skyscrapers, exclusive gatherings, and a penthouse that overlooks a city pulsing with life. Every element of his lifestyle is meticulously curated-each piece of art, every vintage wine, all whispers of a man who doesn't just live in luxury, but defines it. In the boardroom, Xavier is a force to be reckoned with-a strategist whose decisions can make or break empires. His mind operates like a finely tuned machine, weighing risks and rewards with the precision of a master chess player. Yet, beneath this ruthless exterior lies a soul fueled by passion, a blend of intensity and hidden vulnerability that few ever glimpse. Ava Kingsley Some people are born to change the world with power and dominance. Ava Kingsley changes it with nothing but the quiet force of her goodness. She doesn't demand attention, nor does she seeks the spotlight. Ava is the embodiment of purity, not in naivety, but in the way she sees the world-with an open heart, boundless empathy, and an unwavering belief in love. She has a soul untouched by bitterness, a heart untainted by cruelty. Their marriage is a collision of two opposing worlds. He is dominance; she is defiance. He is fire; she is the soft rain meant to soothe it. Yet, the more she tries to resist him, the more he is drawn to her-her warmth, her kindness, the way she looks at him like he isn't the monster the world believes him to be. Will they fall in love or will they break the starlight?

As they navigate their growing bond, secrets are shared, misunderstandings arise, and moments of unexpected closeness leave them both questioning if they're just friends or something more. Will Emma and Ryan have the courage to face their feelings, or will they let their unspoken emotions drift away like the last snow of winter? Get ready for a heartwarming, slow-burn romance filled with cozy moments, emotional twists, and the kind of love story that feels like home.
