In the secluded town of Ravenwood, Lyra Vale struggles with the loss of her parents and the cruelty of her stepfather. Seeking solace, she often escapes to an abandoned treehouse deep in the woods, her only refuge from a life of loneliness and pain. But her sanctuary is threatened when Kael Ryder, a mysterious stranger, appears unexpectedly.

"Why are you here?" Lyra demanded. "This is my place."

Kael looked around the treehouse, his gaze lingering on the small bookshelf and the worn mattress. "I've been coming to these woods for a while," he explained. "I noticed this spot and it intrigued me. I just wanted to see who used it."

Lyra's need for solitude clashes with her growing curiosity about the enigmatic Kael. His respectful distance and genuine tone leave her torn between her desire for isolation and the possibility of something more. As secrets begin to surface, Lyra must decide whether to let Kael into her world or protect herself from the unknown that his presence brings.All Rights Reserved

Tide Changer by Alwyn_Knighton

Lyra's boyfriend of four years wants a break. What Lyra wants isn't of much importance, though. At least, not to her parents, who think her dreams are just a phase. Agreeing with people is much easier than trying to prove them wrong, and that's what Lyra has done for a while. Right until the impromptu solo trip to the coastal town of Marfolk. Right until the meeting with the dark-haired, blue-eyed Emrys. He gets under her skın like no other man, and soon they're caught in a riptide of a forbidden, passionate romance. Too bad it has an expiration date-the day Lyra returns home. Content warning: this story contains mentions of domestic violence that can be upsetting to some readers. Reader discretion is advised.
