Liam Everett is the star of his college art program-charismatic, talented, and admired by everyone around him. But behind the praise and accolades, Liam is lost. His once boundless creativity has withered, leaving him staring at blank canvases and suffocating under the weight of expectations. The boy who could paint the world in vibrant hues now sees only grey.

Clara Haywood arrives in the city wide-eyed and hopeful, her heart set on making her dreams of becoming a professional artist come true. Leaving behind her quiet village, she's determined to make her family proud, even if the towering buildings and bustling streets of the city overwhelm her at every turn. She's ready to prove herself-but first, she has to find her place in a world that moves much faster than she ever imagined.

When their worlds collide-quite literally-in a twist of fate, neither is prepared for the impact. Liam, hardened by his struggles, is drawn to Clara's passion and untainted view of art. Her fresh perspective breathes life into the creative fire he thought had burned out forever. And Clara, in awe of Liam's talent, finds herself both inspired by and inexplicably connected to him.

But as their connection grows deeper, so does the space between them. Liam battles with the fear that he's using Clara as a muse, and Clara is torn between following her own path and falling for someone who might not need her as much as he thinks.

In a city where everything moves fast and expectations loom large, they must both decide: Will they close the distance between them, or let the space grow wider than they can ever bridge?All Rights Reserved

Then comes Kaden-the new senior who turns heads just by walking into a room. Serena swears she'll ignore him, until he slips into her imagination and onto the pages of her latest series. She writes him into a world where he's bold, magnetic, impossible to resist... everything she's too shy to want in real life. But when Kaden stumbles across her forgotten notebook, he discovers her secret and himself within it. Amused, intrigued, and strangely drawn in, he decides to play along. Every glance, every word, every moment becomes a game between them, as if they're co-authoring their own hidden love story. Yet when Serena moves on in her writing creating a new fictional love interest Kaden's amusement turns into something else entirely. He doesn't just want to be her inspiration anymore. He wants to make her words come alive, and he won't let her close the book on him.

Whispers in Secret by NeeksNeika

*** A Steamy Romance *** Ella Montgomery is a fiercely determined law student at Oxford University, juggling her ambitious studies while harboring an undeniable secret crush on Lucien Storm, her father's charismatic best friend. From the moment she first laid eyes on him, Lucien's magnetic presence ignited feelings within her that she desperately tries to suppress. She understands that her future hinges on her education, not on the fantasies of being swept away in his arms. Unbeknownst to Ella, Lucien is equally captivated by her. As the head of a powerful mafia family and a trusted friend of her father, he finds himself torn between his growing desire for the spirited young woman and the weight of his responsibilities. The forbidden nature of their feelings creates a tension neither can ignore, even as they try to maintain a semblance of normalcy. Lucien often finds himself lost in fantasies, imagining the feel of Ella's warm body against his, her nails tracing the intricate tattoos that tell his story, and the way her mouth would taste against him. Each thought is both intoxicating and torturous, as he grapples with the consequences of pursuing a romance that could shatter the bonds of friendship and loyalty. As they both navigate their intense emotions, they face the daunting question: Can love flourish in the shadows of secrecy and loyalty, or will their desires lead to heartbreak and chaos? Their journey will test the limits of their hearts, challenging everything they thought they knew about love, power, and the sacrifices they're willing to make for a chance at happiness. In a world where danger lurks at every corner, Ella and Lucien must decide if they are brave enough to confront their feelings, or if the pain of unrequited love will ultimately consume them both.

The silences between them grow louder. And when one stormy afternoon breaks their restraint, Dani crosses a line she can never uncross. What begins as comfort spirals into obsession. Secrets.

Two men, one new life and a second chance she never saw coming. Isabella Solène Hart was supposed to be a bride. Instead, she became a woman who walked away from betrayal, from shame, from the version of love that left her undone. London offers her nothing but silence and strangers and that's exactly what she needs until it starts to offer more. A job at a luxury PR firm, a flat that slowly becomes a home, a local café with warm coffee and warmer smiles, a neighbour with a cat named Rufus and a shopkeeper named Robert, gruff, loyal, quietly becoming the father figure she never had. But nothing shakes her more than the two men who begin to orbit her new life. Skylar, the charming café owner with kind eyes, he makes her laugh again, makes her feel again, but when it matters most... he stays silent. And Sebastian, the enigmatic CEO with ice-blue eyes and power in every breath. He shouldn't be looking at her the way he does, he shouldn't know who she is, but he does and what begins as a spark quickly threatens to set fire to the walls she's still rebuilding. Now Bella must navigate more than just a second chance, she must decide what kind of love she's ready for and whether she can open her heart again without losing herself in the process. It's a story of loss, of starting over, and the two men who force her to face what love really means. Of heartbreak turned healing, of strangers turned family.
