Mira Lane is a soft-spoken screenwriter with a past full of silence and a heart that flinches at love. She's built a quiet life around her cat Lolo, her words, and a persistent fear of closeness-a fear with a name: philophobia. When Lolo falls ill, Mira stumbles into the sterile world of Elias Mercer, a wealthy but emotionally wrecked veterinarian who treats animals better than he trusts people. Cold, clinical, and haunted by a love that broke him, Elias has no room for messy things like hope... or shy women with starlit eyes.

But what begins as an awkward vet visit turns into a slow-burning entanglement of vulnerability, healing, and buried pain. As Mira's career suddenly rises and Elias's walls begin to crack, both must confront the truths they buried long ago. Because love-real love-requires surrender.

And some wounds aren't visible on X-rays.All Rights Reserved

Fabricated Mind by SidraNawaz0

In a quiet house at the edge of the woods, Mira wakes beside the man she loves - Dr Alden, a respected psychologist known for exploring the hidden corners of the human mind. Their days are ordinary, tender even. But every night, fragments of something dark claw their way back into Mira's dreams - flashes of blood, fog, and a house she swears she's never seen. When she visits Alden's asylum to write about art and therapy, one patient recognises her - screams at her as if she's someone he once knew. From that moment, Mira's carefully built world begins to fracture. Memories blur with imagination, love collides with fear, and every familiar face starts to feel like a mask hiding something unspeakable. As Mira struggles to piece together the truth, she begins to wonder - is she losing her mind... or remembering it?

Mirai, the Witch of Sight by High_Priestess_Elena

Mirai comes from a long line of witches who have been particularly gifted in using their inner sight. As such, she's trained her sight from a young age. She's always been a disappointment, however, as the only thing she's ever been able to see is the vague image of a girl. On her 18th birthday, Mirai discovers a mark on the back of her neck displaying the number thirty. From her first proper vision, she deduces that unless she finds the girl before the number reaches zero, both of them will die. Only being able to depend on her less than mediocre skills in seeing the future, Mirai sets out to find the girl before the time is up. Little does she know of the trauma the girl has suffered, nor that finding her is only the beginning. ---------- Mature rating due to: smut, violence, suicide (happens in the prologue while POV-character has her back turned), rape (happens in chapter 30 and will be mentions of it afterwards, fade to black, there will NOT be a trigger warning at the beginning of the specific chapter), violent death of babies, some rather bloody scenes, self-harm, extreme guilt. Note that a major part of this story focus on healing from and learning to live with trauma, so though you could potentially read it but skip some specific parts, if you're not comfortable reading something that deals with the listed topics, then this book won't be for you. ---------- This series will contain the following volumes: Volume 1 - Zoe, the witch of innocence (completed) Volume 2 - Crimson, the witch of night (completed) Volume 3 - Morana, the witch of life (completed) Volume 4 - Mirai, the witch of sight (completed) Volume 5 - Danae, the witch of light (ongoing) Volume 6 - Rheseis, the faerie of love

Strength and Sensuality [Completed] by HeraHarker

A modern Pride and Prejudice story. Only sexier. Mira is a refugee, starting a new life far from home. She has to deal with her troubled past, her son, and her enigmatic boss, while her only weapon is her killer sense of humor. It's a slow-building love-hate story, with a strong female lead; two control freak lawyers, fighting for dominance, in denial of their feelings; an alpha discovering his submissive side; lots of humor and humanism. ~73K words ~~~ Warnings: - Mild language. Characters talk like white-collar workers usually do in real life. - Chapter 43 has mild sexual content. It isn't very graphic, it's emotional, rather, but if you don't want to read about it, just skip it. It won't affect the story. ~~~ Featured: - WP Romance's Read Together and Head Over Heels reading list - WP ChickLit and Women's Fiction reading list - WP New Adult's Romance reading list - WP Adult Fiction reading list - WP Classic Authors Twisting Austen's Magical Moments reading list - WP Retold reading list ~~~ Reviews: "You have a lot of literary elements going for you: your style is chock full of subtext, humor, and intelligence. There's a careful craftsmanship in world-building, character development, and theme." Scripturam Awards "A truly unique story with a quite remarkable a plot! It has the ability to convey the emotions stirred within the characters to the depth of readers heart!" The Graphomania Awards "I am beyond impressed with this work. The characters feel real; three-dimensional. The narration does not feel forced in any way, it flows as it reads." The Dream Awards "Some books lead with suspense and cliffhangers that even if you don't want to continue the book you do so just to sate your curiosity. But then a rare gem like this comes along and without any cheap tricks it pulls in, you just continue and keep reading it and you may not even know when you reach the end." Shadow City Awards

The Arrangement {Book 1} by iamshymcguire

In this world it's not what you will take up, but what you will give up that will make you rich, but you should remember to never allow yourself to be controlled by money, the past, or people.. After all, for the love of money is the root of all evil, so what is it that you would really be willing to do for it, even if it goes against what you believe in? Confused?... Unsure?...

Things have not been the same in about two years, their lives has changed tremendously and went down hill and with the person that contributed to that happening now gone, can she try to fix it by herself? "Some say that our lives are defined by the sum of our choices, but it isn't really our choices that distinguish who we are." -Emily Thorne, (Revenge) Copyright © 2016 All rights reserved by Shy'Rissa McGuire

The Stillness Between Two Hearts by WrittenByWelsh

𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑆𝑡𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑛𝑒𝑠𝑠 𝐵𝑒𝑡𝑤𝑒𝑒𝑛 𝑇𝑤𝑜 𝐻𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑠 Kai lives like the world doesn't touch him-late nights, forgotten classes, and memories he doesn't talk about. When his mother forces him to start visiting his dying grandmother in the hospital every weekend, he doesn't expect much to change. Until he meets Mira. Room-bound and quietly brave, Mira is a girl who's lived more years inside hospital walls than out. She writes poems she never reads aloud and dreams of rooftops she might never reach. She's fighting a battle she rarely speaks of-and she stays, while everyone else leaves. In the stillness between IV drips and heart monitors, two strangers find a rhythm of their own. As Mira's condition worsens and Kai's grief deepens, they cling to starlit secrets, shared music, and the fragile beauty of a connection they never saw coming. Some love stories are built on forever. Theirs begins in borrowed time.

But now that "someday" is here, everything is more complicated than he ever imagined. She's stronger. He's quieter. And their hearts? Still speaking the language of "what ifs." But in between stolen glances, late-night talks, and buried memories, their story is far from over. Because sometimes, letting go was never the end. It was just the pause before everything changed.
