Adam Daniels was supposed to disappear.

After losing the only woman he's ever loved, the last thing the newly published author wants is attention-or worse, sympathy. So he does what anyone would do with an unexpected book advance and a broken heart: he books a solo bike tour across Japan.

Emi never expected to find a foreigner standing in her grandparents' entryway, soaked and shivering and somehow familiar. She definitely didn't expect it to be him-the quiet, kind-eyed man who helped her in Tokyo days before.

He's wounded. She's devoted to a life she never chose. Neither of them is looking for love.

But love has a way of showing up anyway.

As they share meals, glances, and slowly unravel their walls, one thing becomes painfully clear: they were never supposed to find each other. And now that they have, walking away might be harder than staying-even if staying means sacrificing everything.Seluruh Hak Cipta Dilindungi Undang-Undang

E-BOOK AND PAPERBACK AVAILABLE ON AMAZON NOW!! - - - MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY - - - When you're born, you are born with an engraving tattooed upon your skin. It is given to you, to determine what man or woman should be your lover. Who should be with you forever once you find them. If you find them. It's a mark that is only half-finished, the other half left on your soulmate's body. Heat emerges on the area of your mark when they're near, and cold grows the farther you are apart. For Anna Cardale, her shoulder is covered in what looks to be half of a wing. A beautiful red and delicate wing. She's quiet, stoic, and doesn't let anyone in. And she certainly doesn't care for a "soulmate" ever since escaping a terrifying past life. But when she moves to a new town and to a new school with a new care home family, her skin heats up. She feels her stomach churn in unnerved expression. It's as if something is yearning to pull her closer. And then she sees him. For it wasn't something that pulled her in. It was someone. And just like her, demons are living deep inside of his soul. Dreaded demons that keep him company. Can she heal him? Or is the other way around? Or perhaps the demons are always the ones who prevail... - - - "I'm sad that this wonderful book is coming to an end. 😢" - LlexieD "This book was phenomenal!

Almost Always [EmiBonnie] oleh mikazuki29__

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.

SHADOWS OF BROTHERHOOD oleh Jazmin26007

He wasn't the favorite. He wasn't the golden child. But he was the one who bled. When everything around him begins to crumble-family, love, and the secrets of a buried past-Ryan is forced to face a darkness he thought he'd left behind. What happens when the person they never really understood... becomes the only one who can save them? But saving them comes with a price. And some prices leave scars that even time can't heal. A story of sacrifice, forgotten memories, and a boy who was never supposed to be the hero. The boy they misunderstood. The one who laughed the loudest to hide the silence inside. The one who acted tough because no one noticed when he was gentle. The one who was always "too much"-too angry, too lost, too broken to fix. He was the black sheep. The storm in a house that only wanted sunshine. The one they blamed but never truly understood. They didn't know he cried himself to sleep at night. Didn't know he whispered "I'm sorry" to the shadows of parents he lost too young. Didn't know he carried the ache of abandonment in his bones every day. And when he finally found the truth-when he discovered who murdered them- he didn't hesitate. Not once.

The Quiet Kind of Forever oleh Shree_Chronicles

In a world that claps for grand gestures and loud declarations, Neel chose to love differently. With packed tiffins. With late-night shifts. With quiet patience. Naina didn't ask for this life. She didn't want a man who gave without asking, loved without words, and forgave without being begged. And yet, every month- A letter arrives. A message pings. A love lingers. Some hearts leave without closing the door. Some forevers aren't loud. Some love stories never leave... they just learn to live from far. He never shouted. Not when she ignored his silence. Not even when she forgot how to love him. He just stayed. Quietly. Through her tempers. Through her distance. Through it all. This is not the story of a perfect marriage. It's the story of a man who kept choosing her in the ways that didn't make noise. until it cost him more than his heart. "The Quiet Kind of Forever" is for every soul that's ever loved without being seen, for every sacrifice that went unnoticed, and for every goodbye that was made with love. ========= Rankings🎖️👇🏻 #1 in Real life romance (4-8-25)🥇 #2 in every day love (7-8-25)🥈

Ribbons, Rumors, and Her oleh leebonafide

[@TheAmbys 2025 Favorites (Top Pick)] Two months into the whirlwind of sophomore year, Adam is already the favorite target of fists and insults. Those bothered by his quiet, eccentric nature? They are the 'pretty' ones. The ones with comfortable backgrounds. The ones at the top. When an attractive transfer becomes his seat neighbour for the rest of the semester, Adam is naturally wary - partly because of her brawny sibling in senior year, and partly because she checks every box on his list of people to avoid: pretty, rich, and popular. With an angelic smile, twinkling sapphire eyes and ribbons in her golden hair, her persona screams perfection. A level he won't be able to achieve even in his quirkiest of daydreams - not like he'd ever want to. After all, despite her odd choice of friends, her playful teasing, and her persistent efforts to win his trust, isn't she just another heartless bully? ••• Completed (under editing process) Featured on: @humor - DiverseLit Humor (Sept 2025) @Ambassadors - Slice Of Life (Sept 2025) @humor - Ambassador's Monthly Pick (Oct 2025)

[ 𝐒𝐄𝐐𝐔𝐄𝐋 1 ] Because this is where love fades, and hate resides and intensifies, broken hearts produce the most tragic stories. Their treachery is told through their bleeding hearts: their unrequited love was never reciprocated. These stories only serve to devastate. Ruins can take lives, destroy people's hopes, and then bring comfort. In other people's ruin. But the question is, can you be happy and sane if your love forgets you for a night? Not at all, right? Ada Sharma is a courageous, fearless girl who has put up with her father's violence for years in order to protect someone she has never seen but believes is still alive. Vidyut Agarwal demonstrated vulnerability in real life. He believed that there is no such thing as love in this world, only lust. But she will make him reveal his feelings, proving him wrong. They've loathed each other for years, but destiny is pushing them to love and kiss in order to heal each other's scars. Either now, or never. But what if his hatred for her suddenly becomes his possession? Will she embrace him for who he is, or will something horrible happen to make her forget his existence? 𝐀𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐧𝐨 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐡. 𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐏𝐄𝐒: 𝗦𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗯𝘂𝗿𝗻 𝗥𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗛𝗶𝘀 𝗠𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗔𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗙𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝘂𝗺𝗮𝘀 "𝗢𝗵𝗼! 𝗜 𝗮𝗺 𝗳𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝗟𝗼𝘃𝗲." "𝗠𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗟𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸"

FREEDOM oleh Diyaoriginal

She woke up with no past... only to find herself living a lie. In a mansion too beautiful to belong to someone like her, Freedom was given kindness she didn't earn, luxury she didn't deserve, and love she was never meant to feel. But the mind forgets what the soul remembers-and when the memories come crashing back, so does the agony she buried deep. She was never a guest. Never family. She was property. She was broken. And now, she remembers. As her truth unravels, so does her sanity. And as love reaches out to save her, Freedom must choose: To stay and shatter... Or disappear, before she ruins them all.

Wounded King || 18+ (On Hold) oleh shuuyaawrites

His gaze locked into mine, intense, unwavering. "I need a verbal answer, little rose." I could hardly find my voice, but it escaped in a trembling whisper, "Y-yes... Abhii." In the next breath, he pulled my flush against him, his hand gripping the back of my neck. His lips found mine, gentle only for the first second before deepening. His kiss was commanding, urgent-sucking on my lips as if he'd never let me go. I tried to match him, to kiss him back, but his force, his hunger was overwhelming. All I could do was yield, surrender, let him take control. Wounded King is connected to the world of Shattered Silk, but it is a complete story on its own and can be read without reading the first book. Abhishek Rana never wanted a wife - only a name to offer someone with no one left. When he finds Naina, orphaned and alone, marrying her feels like fulfilling a duty... nothing more. "Not a single chapter wasted-every page pulls you deeper into a slow-burn that won't let you go." A slow-burn, age-gap romance between two broken souls forced into an unwanted marriage - and a love neither of them saw coming.
