Enemies on set, lovers off-screen... or so they thought.
Sophia Lane is Hollywood's ice queen-a perfectionist actress with a reputation for delivering award-winning performances and keeping everyone at arm's length. Ethan Cross is her opposite: a charming, easygoing rom-com superstar whose smile alone can light up a room. When they're cast as romantic leads in the year's most anticipated drama, sparks fly-but not the good kind.
Their fiery clashes threaten to derail the production, and the only solution is forced proximity. Sent to an isolated countryside retreat for rehearsals, Sophia and Ethan are pushed to confront not just their differences but the undeniable chemistry simmering between them.
As their on-screen love story takes shape, the lines between acting and reality blur, and their hearts are caught in a script they never expected to follow. But in a world where the spotlight exposes everything, can two people with so much history-and so many secrets-find a happy ending?
"Lights, Camera, Tension" is a heartfelt enemies-to-lovers romance filled with sizzling banter, emotional depth, and the magic of love behind the scenes.
Perfect for fans of slow-burn romance and electric chemistry!

Slow It Down
"You may be his world, but you're the only thing that ever felt like home to me." ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Some people never get second chances. Lilah never thought she'd get one with her brother's best friend. She's quiet, kind, and inexperienced in love. He's tattoos, a bad reputation, and a trail of girls who never stay. They were once inseparable-until Jackson walked away without a word. Now, four years later, they're forced back together as reluctant project partners. The boy who once protected her has become cold, distant, and impossible to read. If he hates her, Lilah's determined to hate him right back. But the more secrets unravel, the harder it becomes to ignore the truth: the line between love and hate is paper-thin. And Jackson is still carrying the one secret that could destroy everything-especially her heart. AWARDS: #1 (out of 45.8k!) for #angstwithhappyending #1 (out of 1.62k) for #badboynextdoor

He notices her, and it was love at first sight for the both of them-well, next plaything for him. A kiss was shared between the two, and from then on, they couldn't get enough of each other. They decided to have a friends-with-benefits kind of relationship. In this relationship, they are exclusive to each other with no strings attached (the feels). But what happens when their relationship becomes more than just sex? Will they admit their feelings for each other or walk away from their happily ever after? 𝐄𝐗𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐓: ❝Eric pulls me into his lap; his hand cupping my face, those green irises stare into my russet ones.

Almost Always [EmiBonnie]
It was supposed to be just a job. A gig. Two actresses playing a couple on screen, selling a story, doing the whole 'promo smile, red carpet pose, rinse and repeat' routine. Not the headlines, not the hashtags, and definitely not the feelings. But then, there was that kiss... What followed wasn't part of the plan. And definitely not in the script. But when two people spend enough time pretending to be in love, sometimes the acting starts to feel a little too real. What begins as fanservice turns into something harder to fake. The teasing stops being for the cameras. The tension stops being just good acting. And somewhere between interviews, rehearsals, and stolen glances, the line between "real" and "acting" blurs. It's slow and it's messy. It's full of feelings they tried to ignore. Something they can't name. Almost love. Almost honest. Almost Always. If you're into slow burns, accidental closeness, and that feeling when two people are clearly falling for each other but refuse to admit it... this one is for you... 📌✦ Author's Rights Notice ✦ This story is an original work.

Written in Stone (Heart of Stone: Book 3)
Paradise. The location. The work. The guy. Sophia Palmer has never been happier. After the craziest ten months of her life, she's enjoying the idyllic scenery of Costa Rica with the man of her dreams by her side. Volunteering at a turtle refuge, having endless sex, and relaxing in an infinity pool overlooking the Caribbean Sea -- nothing could possibly burst her bubble. Except maybe some overzealous fans, a slew of hatred on social media, and a viral recording of a past kiss with her famous boyfriend's equally famous best friend. * Euphoria. The fame. The fans. The girl. Ed Stone has been living life on a permanent high. He thought nothing could beat the buzz of singing in an arena full of adoring fans, or hitting number one in the charts, or finding that perfect lyric. Then Sophia Palmer entered his life ten months ago, and everything he thought he knew about happiness changed. No music-induced high can make his heart thump as fast as she does. He used to like the barrier that his stage persona provided, but when he's a squeaky-clean popstar who can do no wrong, his adoring fanbase is quick to vilify anyone who doesn't match up. Including his girlfriend. The solution? It's time for Teddy Stone to show the world a different side of him. * Content warnings: strong sexual content, strong language Sample: This is a sample.
