Some love stories are meant to be simple, but theirs was anything but.
Sol never imagined that love could be something he would dread-until he crossed paths with Ember. She embodied warmth and fire, a sanctuary and a tempest, and he found himself captivated by her like a melody he never wanted to end. However, love was a concept Ember had long abandoned. The scars of her past had left her too wary to trust, too hesitant to hope.
As their lives intertwine, they discover comfort in one another, yet the very bond that unites them also threatens to tear them apart. Friendships fracture, fears emerge, and the silence of unspoken words becomes a heavy burden of regret. When the shadows of the past finally close in, they must confront a question neither is prepared to answer:
What could this be, between you and me?
A profoundly emotional and strikingly honest journey of love, loss, and self-discovery, What Could This Be, Between You and Me? is not merely a tale of falling in love-it's about learning to fight for it.

OBSESSION. too personal
This could have been a gentle story for quiet autumn evenings. But it shattered against Morphine - a chapter that will not let you stay indifferent. And now, you'll understand why. This is not a story about perfect love. It's about healing through pain, about love that blooms after trauma, and about the fragile line between salvation and obsession. She is a woman rebuilding herself from the ashes. Not strong - simply real. A mother. A fighter. A writer whose words cut deeper than truth itself. She doesn't want to be someone's muse - she only wants to be understood. He is the man the world worships... and fears. A legend. A symbol of an era. But behind the fame, there's a man haunted by his own darkness. Together, they are fire and gasoline - two broken souls learning how to love without losing themselves. Their story isn't a fairytale. It's an age-gap dark romance about redemption, grief, and the courage to love again. With touch. With words. With silence between the lines.Complete

Heartbreak Express
🏆 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐲𝐬 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 | She ran from her wedding the day she found out the groom was expecting a baby with someone else. Now, with a broken heart and no suitcase, she's starting over in London... 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. It's not just about falling in love, it's about who you become when your world shatters... and you choose to rise anyway.Complete
Until Our Bodies Remember
They thought they were done with each other. Years passed, lives changed-yet when they meet again, it feels like nothing ever did. The heart remembers. The glance betrays. The body refuses to forget.

A story of love's memory-and the spark that never dies.Complete
DESIRE AFTER THE RAIN
Two hearts that never sought love somehow found themselves in its crossfire. Desire had always been hungry not for a hand to hold, not for whispered promises, but for success that would make her name matter. Every choice she made, every risk she took, was fueled by that relentless fire burning inside her. Love was a luxury she couldn't afford. Rowan, meanwhile, lived tethered to a ghost. His heart belonged to someone who had walked out of his life but never left his memory. He wasn't looking for another; he was only surviving, counting the days in quiet solitude, haunted by what once was. And then Desire appeared a spark he didn't expect, a force he didn't know he needed. They collided, brushed against each other's edges, and for a moment, it seemed like something could bloom. But they both knew better. Desire could not pause for love, and Rowan could not unchain his past. while Rowan thought he had lost Desire to ambition, and Desire believed Rowan was lost to memory, neither realized that in their fleeting connection, they had already changed each other. Desire's fire had awakened a part of Rowan he thought was buried forever, and Rowan's quiet depth had given Desire a glimpse of something more than hunger. Did Desire ever find a reason to love, or was success always enough to fill the emptiness inside her? Did Rowan finally let go of the ghost of his past, or did it follow him quietly, like a shadow he could never shake?
REDRAWN BY FATE
Once, there was a boy who loved with all his heart. A love so simple, so pure - the kind that blooms in school corridors and ends with promises written in notebooks. He was a boy who longed for the love he lost - a father gone too soon, a heart half-empty. And when she came, he finally felt safe. But safety turned into fear... Fear of losing her, fear that his love itself was a curse. His love grew possessive - and her wings broke beneath it. One day, she left forever... And with her, she took the last piece of him. Years later, he married - not for love, but for duty. A woman who deserved the world... but was tied to a man whose heart belonged to a grave. Now, two souls live under one roof - one haunted by the past, and the other punished for a love she never received. This isn't a tale of love found - it's a story of love surviving - in silence, in distance, in pain.
so we can make it back
"loving her was inevitable. terrifying. the only thing that made sense." She came back to the only place that ever felt like home - a weathered cottage on the edge of Pleasant Bay, where grief echoes in the floorboards and every tide feels like memory pulling at her ribs. He came here to disappear - a man with a voice the world knows, running from the noise of fame and the silence left by his best friend's absence. Two neighbors, both raw and unraveling, colliding in a town that sleeps through the winter. Coffee shared on porches. Smoke curling into salt air. Conversations that feel like confessions. And the question neither of them dares to say aloud: what if healing isn't solitude, but finding someone who sees you in the wreckage and stays? A story about grief, love, and the kind of intimacy that feels inevitable - soft as a song, sharp as salt air, and impossible to turn away from.

Or did she die the night she saw the truth blinking on his phone? And then, in the middle of that loneliness, I met him. Not in the real world, but behind a username. Mr× A stranger with shadows darker than mine. A man broken by betrayal, scarred by addiction, living with an illness that became his shame. We should have never crossed paths. But broken souls recognize each other. And sometimes, even in the darkest places, love finds a way to whisper back. This isn't a fairy tale. This is a story of two wounded hearts, meeting in the rain of their ruins, daring to dream of sunlight again.
