Lola Hall has always believed in boundaries-between research and personal life, science and intuition, and especially between herself and Chase, the Institute's guarded and dangerously attractive Head of Security. But when she's sent to the arctic wilderness of Svalbard to investigate a mysterious, potentially lethal anomaly, Chase becomes her only ally. Their forced proximity, the wild, frozen landscapes, and secrets buried in the ice spark a chemistry neither of them can deny. As they're drawn deeper into a conspiracy and into each other, Lola finds herself crossing every line she's ever set.

The Gravity Between Us by SamanthaDybing
21 parts Ongoing
"In a world of science and logic, love was never part of the experiment... until her." For five years, Emma Hayes believed in love. Believed in forever. But forever ended the day she caught her boyfriend of five years cheating-with her best friend. Now, she's traded heartbreak for a fresh start, moving across the country for a prestigious research job in New York City. Love? Not on the agenda. Science is predictable, measurable, and safe. Unlike emotions. But then she meets Dr. Sebastian Hale. Brilliant. Breathtaking. British. A man of few words and even fewer emotions. He's awkward in the most devastatingly attractive way-a genius in the lab but a mystery everywhere else. He avoids eye contact, stumbles over words when she's too close, and disappears the second emotions enter the equation. But he watches her. And when late nights at the lab turn into stolen glances, accidental touches, and an undeniable pull that neither of them can explain-Emma realizes that for all his silence, Sebastian might just be the loudest part of her world. But he has secrets. Walls built so high that even she might not break them. And when Emma's past resurfaces, threatening the fragile connection between them, she's forced to decide: run like she always has, or risk everything for the one person who just might be worth it. ✨ A slow-burn, heart-stopping romance between two opposites drawn together by fate. Perfect for fans of mysterious men, soft but intense chemistry, and love stories that defy the odds. Read now on Wattpad! 💙

10 parts Complete Mature
This is a seven-chapter preview of a full-length published novel. Buy links: Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XQYVSVV Kobo: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/breathe-76 iBooks: https://itun.es/us/d_Yajb.l Check out the companion novel, Whisper! Free on Wattpad. ********** A GOOD MAN, FALLING APART Small town police officer Simon Labelle repressed his attraction to sexy shopgirl Leona Chaisty for years. He's good at controlling his feelings--or he used to be, before the bombing that he can't solve, that he should have prevented. Now, after a chance encounter with Leona at the lake, Simon can't get her out of his head. All those high school fantasies roar to life. A BAD GIRL, WISHING FOR MORE Leona is drawn to the intensity in Simon's pretty-boy blue eyes, but he's a good man, and she's not just hopelessly kinky--she'll never know how to love. Still, unlike everyone else, Simon acts like she might actually have a heart. The more time they spend together, the more she wishes he were right. A CHALLENGE NEITHER CAN RESIST After a second unsolved case pulls them together, their sexual chemistry rattles them both, and hints at an unsettling fetish that Simon struggles to suppress. Leona pushes Simon to decide what he wants--whether to dominate, submit, or some mix of both--while Simon, already falling for his dream girl, finally gets her to admit that she's lonely. Each challenges the other to reveal more, to cede control, to be vulnerable. But they're both more fragile than they appear. It's only a matter of time before one pushes too hard, and the other breaks.​ ********** Trigger warnings for depression, suicidal ideation, and possibly alcoholism. Significant child abuse (neglect only) is also part of a character's backstory. There is gender-bending, femdom, and a pretty scary control-based fetish. There is also off-screen violence and death, and mild on-screen violence.
