Caera Berry grew up among the sweet scent of strawberry fields - a childhood touched by loss, hard work, and quiet resilience. Now a newly qualified clinical psychologist, Caera steps into the gleaming halls of Newlands Hospital, ready to build a new life far from the struggles of the past.
She didn't expect to cross paths with Dr. Elias Wonderlands - the hospital's infamous, brooding professor with a stare as sharp as his reputation. Tall, dark-haired, and almost annoyingly stern, Elias rarely lets anyone get close.
But Caera is different.
Her soft voice, quick wit, and stubborn spirit unsettle him in ways he can't explain - and he finds himself worrying about her more than he should. She, in turn, can't quite understand why the hospital's most untouchable man seems determined to interfere in her life... or why her heart races whenever he's near.
Between clashing wills, unexpected adventures, and plenty of sweet, awkward moments, Caera and Elias soon find themselves tangled in more than just hospital drama.
Full of heart, humor, and slow-burn romance, Tangled in Strawberries is a story about unexpected love, finding laughter in unlikely places, and discovering that even the iciest hearts can warm.

ARRANGED FOR LOVE: A tale of a compelled bond
Book 2 of "𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐐 𝐀𝐔𝐑 𝐑𝐀𝐀𝐇" series "My job is to save people but for her I can kill one too." Idhant. His name meant "luminous," a beacon of light, and he lived up to it effortlessly. His very presence brightened those around him. Compassionate and selfless, he chose a path that reflected his nature-a doctor, a healer, someone who mended not just bodies but spirits. But then came that night. The night that extinguished the fire within him. He became a shadow of the man he once was. The world that he had sought to care for had taken its toll on him. Now, he was a shell, hollowed out, clinging to his work because it was all he had left. All because of her. Advika. Her name meant "unique, one of a kind," and she truly was-though she could never see it. The world had fed her lies, convincing her she wasn't enough, wasn't worthy. She was unique in ways even she didn't fully understand, ways that she used to shield herself. She became a master at hiding-the pain, the past, and the pieces of herself she didn't want anyone to see. What happens when two souls, scarred by the cruelty of life, find each other? Will their shared pain pull them into darkness, or will their bond ignite a flame that banishes the shadows? When the luminous meets the unique, will they succumb to the weight of their pasts, or will they find a way to shine together, illuminating a path neither could see alone?

Every Shot of You
At Espresso Yourself, the cozy café tucked into the ground floor of Edenview Hospital, CEO and head barista Quinn Lockhart makes it her mission to brighten every customer's morning, with extra foam, warm hazel eyes, and an easy smile that rarely falters. Except with Dr. Ava Moreno. The hospital's youngest top trauma surgeon, Ava is a picture of precision and control, always early, always distant, and never without her large Americano, extra shot, no sugar. She never lingers. Never chats. Never smiles. But every morning, without fail, she comes. And every morning, Quinn waits for her. What Quinn doesn't know is that this isn't their first time orbiting each other. Years ago, in the high-pressure haze of med school, Quinn and Ava shared something fragile, unspoken, and burning at both ends, a secret situationship that was as real as it was undefined. Late-night study sessions turned into tangled sheets and unsaid promises. But just as quickly as it flared, it vanished, forgotten entirely by Quinn after a personal crisis and a sudden career pivot that pulled her out of medicine altogether. But Ava? Ava remembers everything. Now, years later, Ava watches Quinn behind the café counter, smiling like none of it ever happened. Like she's never seen her cry. Never kissed her in the dark. Never whispered her name like it meant something. To Quinn, Ava is a mystery she's just now beginning to unravel. To Ava, Quinn is a heartbreak she never got to mourn. As the slow-burn tension between them reignites, Ava must decide whether to keep pretending or finally confront the woman who once loved her, and forgot. Because some brews are meant to be bitter. And some love stories don't start at the beginning... they start again.Complete
Mea again
"No matter your problems, face them with a bright smile and a bucket of chocolate ice-cream," nana once wisely told me. At the time, I was barely twelve and thought that I could summon a unicorn if I just believed in myself. A decade later, despite my massive student loans and almost nonexistent love life, that piece of advice was all I needed to maintain good mental health and earn myself some lovely padded hips. Little did I know that a horrific monster was lurking in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to strike and scare the living daylights out of my naïve and helpless self. 'There she goes again with the metaphors and literary witchcraft...' Did you really have to make an entrance right now, conscience? I was about to get to the exciting part. As I was saying, that hideous monster popped out of nowhere and there was no ice-cream bucket big enough to vanquish it. Hence, I only reacted the way an average person such as myself would. 'You gathered your forces and made it creep back into the shadows? It realized that you were too nice and boring to be messed with? Or did Prince Charming arrive, on his white horse of course, and saved little helpless you?' Nope, not exactly and definitely not. I ran away and left everything and everyone I ever cared about behind. 'Remind me again why we're having an emotional trip down memory lane?' Because it's about time I went back and fixed everything. - 🏆 1st place winner in The Duck Awards (Romance Category) - 🏆 1st place winner in The Chaos Awards 8 (Humor Category) - 🏆 2nd place winner in THE ROMANCE READS CONTESTS (Lovers Category) - 🏆 2nd place winner in The Sparkle and Shine Awards 2K19 (Romcom Category) - ✨ Featured on Wattpad's Romance - ✨ Featured on Wattpad's Cupid - ✨ Featured on Wattpad's NA - ✨ Featured on Wattpad's Multicultural -Complete

Love Me Like We Used To
They were inseparable - until they weren't. Now, they barely speak. Eighteen-year-old Amaria and Elias were childhood best friends. Late-night calls, secret handshakes, inside jokes - they knew each other better than anyone else. That is, until something happened in Year 13 that tore them apart. Whispers. Betrayal. Silence. Amaria is stepping into her first year of university-Year 14-with high hopes, a fresh start, and her best friend Zara by her side. She's ready to focus on her degree, leave the drama of secondary school behind, and grow into herself. But the past isn't done with her yet. Elias, the boy she ghosted after an emotional confession at the end of Year 13, is not only attending the same university-but he's in the same seminar group. What starts as stolen glances and awkward silences quickly reignites into tension, confusion, and the kind of chemistry that never really disappeared. Elias's older brother, Noah, is also on campus-more grounded and protective, offering occasional advice and support, especially when things between Elias and Amaria get messy. As Amaria balances her coursework, complicated emotions, and the realities of adulting, she's forced to reckon with the pain she left behind-and decide whether she's brave enough to stop running from it. Amaria's still guarded, still bruised by everything he didn't say back then. Elias? He acts like nothing happened, but there's guilt hiding behind his easy smile and that same look in his eyes whenever he's near her.
