I quickly drop my gaze, focusing on the perfectly written notes before me. The last thing I need is another complication, especially one with silver rings and a devil-may-care attitude.

Cass Alcott has always been the girl with a plan. Between balancing her dance scholarship, Aether studies, and avoiding the pressures of her overbearing family, she doesn't have time for distractions-especially ones that come in the form of messy, infuriating boys. So, when she's paired with Elliott Thornton for a literature project, she braces herself for disaster. Elliott is everything she's not-reckless, aloof, and never on time.
But as they dive into their assignment, unraveling the complexities of classic romances like Pride and Prejudice and Wuthering Heights, Elliott's rebellious nature begins to pull Cass into a world she's always avoided. From sneaking into empty theaters to stargazing from rooftops, Cass finds herself breaking all her carefully crafted rules. Beneath Elliott's mysterious, too-cool-for-everything exterior lies a deeper connection to the stories they're studying-and to Cass herself.
Caught between her need for control and Elliott's chaotic charm, Cass is forced to confront her own ideas about love, identity, and the thrill of the unknown. Will their project bring them closer together, or will the emotional intensity they uncover be too much to handle?
With a touch of witchy academia, heart-fluttering romance, and the magic of self-discovery, Ink & Ivory is a slow-burn that explores the fine line between order and chaos-and what happens when opposites collide.

The Lotus Trials
Gemma Hart knows well enough what a gilded prison looks like. Paranoid due to the unsolved assassination of their parents, her brother had spent the last seven years ensuring she doesn't face the same fate. Trapped from the outside world, some simple privileges are things she's been kept from. For one, the chance to find her mate naturally. Just days after her twentieth birthday an invitation under her name crosses her brother's desk, carelessly swept away to keep from her curious eyes. An invitation to The Lotus Trials. The series of tests were rumored to be a struggle for the strongest, most agile warrior wolves. Her own father and brother had barely passed the final challenge. But what better chance did she have at proving she could forage her own path in the world outside the border? And how convenient it was that the trials were just days behind the mating ball. ~~~~~ Ezekiel Winters has felt himself slipping, day by day. After the loss of his mate, his grief-like so many others-has driven him to the brink. It's then that a life partner is demanded of him, as a second queen might save him from his darkening fate. Just as he begins to lose hope entirely he stumbles upon a peculiar girl who seems to be an oddity to be competing in the annual trials he hosts. Certainly far too different from his first mate for his wolf to be so drawn to, yet as The Lotus Trials continue on, further and further the king falls, raising a question filled with desperate hope. Can this girl banish his shadows at last? ~~~~~ BOOK ONE. UPDATE EVERY FRIDAY. ENJOY!Concluida
Facade Of Perfectionism
'Love is like a child, That longs for everything it can come by' -William Shakespeare _______________________________________________________ Maya Matthews is the description of perfection, or as she has been addressed. She excels in every field she steps her foot into, be it from her perfect grades to being the best daughter a parent could ask for, you name it. Her tenderness is what attracts every guy's attention. She seems to have everything she could ask for. What could possibly be wrong with her near to perfect life? Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth. Maya has her demons that she desperately attempts to hide from the world that not a single soul knows about. Shawn Daniels is the perfect storm and the missing puzzle in Maya's life. He is the polar opposite of Maya. Smart, confident, and witty. He's often misunderstood for a bad boy, who has quite a handful of girls swooning over him. He's a carefree soul. He is the yin to her yang. What happens when they cross paths and Shawn unleashes Maya's dark secrets? Will he succeed in his mission to pull Maya out of her past, and show what life has to offer? But life is certainly not a bed of roses and nothing comes as easy. _______________________________________________________ They say love can overcome anything. You never exactly know when it will strike and turn your life upside down. Love will make you doubt every single thing that you believe in yet you will find yourself drowning in it slowly, very slowly but deeply. _______________________________________________________ All rights reserved © 2020-Shrya1712Concluida

Hesitant about his ability to raise the children without their mother, Malcolm took them in. Although he made sure they had a roof over their heads, his blind hatred for his son, married with substance abuse and emotional neglect, only fed the growing resentment within Adirra's heart. A resentment that with every injustice her father inflicted, clawed through her like a scream she never dared to voice and eventually began to manifest as something sharper, something with more spite. Magic. Dark Magic. Growing up with a father who feared her but also knew exactly how to hurt her and would, given the opportunity, affected Adirra more than she'd like to admit. After finally escaping a man who resembled the devil, Adirra resided in a secluded cabin, deep in the enchanted forest.

However, this peace was quickly fleeting compared to the next two and a half centuries she was forced to spend with the man that abandoned her and her brother as children. Exposed to the harsh reality of a world that tried to control her, Adirra thought she'd be subjected to a life of solitude for eternity. That was until a soft, brown-haired boy, firm in his beliefs and adamant that his family would rescue him, arrived on the island. Luckily for Adirra, they did, but of course, nothing comes without a price. Tropes: Enemies to friends to lovers Soulmates Slow burn Takes place from season 3 to season 7

She asks in a whisper as she holds the top so it doesn't open completely and reveals herself to him.

Before the Glass
Sixty-five years after peace finally settled across the realms, Regina Mills has spent decades ruling wisely and balancing everything from goblins to city councils. Yet even a queen can ache for home. Drawn by the memory of apple orchards and her father's old riding trails, she returns to her ancestral estate in the Enchanted Forest for a quiet season of renewal. Her granddaughter Evelyn stays behind in Storybrooke to manage the mirror-gates as interim mayor, while the younger grandchildren-Jack the idealist and Luna the half-mad inventor-follow "Grandma Regina" into the woods with far more enthusiasm than sense. Emma Swan, older, silver-haired, and gloriously unfiltered, joins her for company, caffeine, and a little mischief. Years after losing Killian to a peaceful passing, Emma has stopped hiding her feelings and decides life's too short not to love Regina openly, even if it drives the forest spirits crazy. Peace lasts about five minutes. When the ancient magic sustaining the Enchanted Forest begins to fade, Regina sets out to preserve it through research and ritual. Emma-armed with a walking stick, a roll of duct tape, and boundless confidence-refuses to let magic "die behind museum glass." One enthusiastic "repair" later, she manages to short-circuit the gateway between Storybrooke and the Forest, plunging both worlds into comic disaster. Portals flicker, spells misfire, enchanted horses appear in kitchens, and everyone blames everyone else while Emma insists it's "a minor technical hiccup." Now Regina, Emma, and the grandkids must race to restore balance before all magic collapses-proving along the way that family, forgiveness, and a good laugh can heal even the biggest mess. The Queen, the Savior, and the Duct Tape is a wild, heart-warming tale about second chances, late-life love, and the kind of chaos only Emma Swan could call a plan. #1 in swen - 12/2025Concluida
Noah (5th Street series)
Veronica Cruz has been through hell and back. After disconnecting with the world two years ago to be at the side of her dying mother, she's left alone, unemployed, overweight, and feeling a decade older than her twenty-eight years. When her best friend coaxes her into joining the local gym to ditch her depression and rejuvenate her life, she meets Noah. Assigned to help Veronica lose weight, Noah is everything she expected a young trainer to be-perfectly chiseled, supportive and motivating. Add to that, he's incredibly sexy. He's everything she's ever looked for in a man. What she least expected was for him to fall for her, but he has. There's just one glaring problem: Noah is eight years younger. Noah Quintanilla has his eye on a boxing title-someday. Down for a few months with an injury, his maintenance-boy pay at 5th Street Gym won't cut it. He's finally given the opportunity to train. The catch? His trainee is an out-of-shape woman with a free week pass. Taking on the challenge, Noah stumbles into one of the closest friendships he's ever known, and before he knows it, he's in love. But Veronica's not having it-the age difference is too much. Their platonic relationship means having to watch her date other men-something that would make him crazy. Believing he's the man for her, Noah sets out to prove that age is but an illusion, and there's more to him than just a number.

Heart Lessons (WlW)
Sometimes the best lessons aren't learned in class, they're felt in the heart. Riley Hale's life runs on caffeine, chaos, and cupcake batter. At twenty-eight, she's mastered the art of single motherhood, sarcasm, and pretending she's totally fine that her love life has been replaced by late-night cleaning montages and her eight-year-old's existential questions. Then one morning, a frosty stranger in a perfect beige coat walks into The Sweet Spot bakery and straight into Riley's list of "people I will never impress." After one spilled coffee and a mortifying apology later, Riley is convinced she'll never see the woman again. Until the next day, when she meets her daughter's new fifth-grade teacher... Miss Emerson Miller. What follows is a year of accidental flirtations, school-event disasters, and late-night bake-offs that blur the line between enemies, friends, and something sweeter. Because sometimes love doesn't show up when you plan it - it spills all over your shoes and dares you to start over. A slow-burn, small-town romantic comedy about second chances, messy mornings, and discovering that the best lessons aren't always taught in classrooms.Concluida
