Years ago, a scandal she never saw coming forced her to leave modeling and walk away from the life she once loved. She built a different life for herself as a fashion designer, keeping her distance from the past and from the people who once broke her trust. 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗼 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗼 never left that world. He lives in a world that thrives on his attention. As one of the industry's most sought-after models who has learned how to live with both admiration and criticism.

What starts as an unexpected connection slowly become harder to face than either of them imagined. Because sometimes the hardest part is not falling in love. It is loving someone when it hurts. ─── "You hate me, right? Then stop looking at me like you want to kiss me and kill me at the same time. If I was using you, Luna... I wouldn't be looking at you like this," he said, not giving her a chance to respond. "Hurt me all you want, but don't lie when your hands still shake when I touch you."

At eighteen, she begins dreaming about a boy she has never met-yet somehow knows by heart. In her dreams, he feels like her missing half, someone who understands her in ways no one else ever has. She wakes up every morning wondering if he's real... or just a creation of her lonely imagination. Then one day, she spills her coffee on a stranger.

The boy she drenched in coffee is kind, funny, and strangely familiar. Too familiar.

The same voice. The same way he looks at her like he's always known her. With every shared laugh and late-night conversation, the line between dreams and reality begins to blur. Was their meeting just an accident? Or was fate slowly guiding them toward each other all along? And when love begins to bloom, she must face the truth- Some souls are destined to meet... long before they ever touch.Complete

Unplanned Variables
One built a reputation being good at being invisible - getting the job done, and leaving no trace. Maybe too good. The other restores what everyone else walks past. Old buildings, forgotten facades, the bones of things that are already there - no new complications. Lara flew in from Singapore expecting sand, sibling arguments, and absolutely nothing else. A visit to her brother at a base in the middle of the Mojave wasn't exactly a holiday - but mundane had its appeal. Nothing she hadn't already accounted for. Damon has survived things that don't make it into reports. A Singaporean architect expecting a quiet week in the desert was not in any of his files. Apparently his intel had gaps. Catching flights and feelings - sometimes you just have to lean into the cliché.

As a dangerous, slow-burn game of wit and proximity unfolds between captive and captor, the lines between hatred and curiosity begin to blur. Aethelgard must use her cold, emotionless clarity to dismantle Malakor's court from the inside-before the magic fades and her feelings come rushing back.

When Duty is Love
When Duty Is Love She was never meant to feel. Bound to the earth as a sota, her existence is one of silent vigilance-watching, guarding, and preserving the balance of the world. Her eternal duty is to protect, to serve, and control the process of the earth. Without her, there is no earth, and without earth, there is no her. Love is a human privilege, one she was forbidden to experience... until him. Silas. From the shadows of trees, beneath rippling waters, and high within the whispering skies, she has watched him-drawn to his warmth, his humanity. What begins as curiosity soon grows into something far more dangerous. Something forbidden. As their connection deepens, the fragile balance of the world begins to crack. A connection between divinity and humanity that was never meant to be. In the darkness, Afar-the sota of evil-stirs, growing stronger with every stolen moment, every unspoken feeling. Her distraction is his opportunity. And if she falters, the earth itself may fall into his grasp. Now, she stands at the edge of an impossible choice: Her duty... or her heart. To love Silas is to risk everything she was created to protect. To walk away is to lose the only thing that has ever made her feel alive. She feels she was meant for more, life as a sota despite her powers limits her to nothing but servitude, but life has a human, promises her happiness. In a world where love is a betrayal and duty is a cage, there may be only one way to have both. To rewrite the rules. To rise beyond duty. To become a goddess. But not everything that glitters is gold...and some choices don't just change the world. They destroy it.
Of Mist and Monarch
The knife kissed his throat-cold and very precise. ❝Don't move,❞ Morgana's voice said behind him. ❝Not a muscle.❞ Sage froze. He felt her breath at his nape, warm against the blade's promise.She knew exactly where to place a blade. ❝How did you get out of your room?❞ he asked calmly. ❝Step forward.❞ He obeyed. She guided him through the narrow corridor, backing him against stone, trapping him there. The knife pressed closer now-close enough to hurt. ❝Drop your sword.❞ It hit the floor. ❝You're going to get me out,❞ she said. ❝Out of your reach. I don't care where you send me-as long as I never have to see Procris Saxon again.❞ Sage smiled faintly. ❝And why would I do that?❞ The blade bit, just barely. ❝Because if you don't,❞ she said, ❝I finish what I started.❞ Silence coiled between them. Then Sage moved. In a breath, the knife was his. Her back met stone. His forearm blocked her escape, the blade resting beneath her jaw. ❝You bastard,❞ she hissed. ❝Careful,❞ Sage said softly. ❝Any movement, and this becomes... unfortunate.❞ Her pulse fluttered wildly beneath the knife. He felt it. She knew he did. ❝Do it,❞she said. ❝You've wanted to since the day we met.❞ Sage leaned closer,Their eyes locked. ❝Tell me,❞.he said slowly , dangerously,.❝why I shouldn't.❞ *** Power is never inherited cleanly.
