Magick comes in many flavors... and sometimes it tastes like honey.
When quirky herbalist and beekeeper Kaia Bloom accidentally binds her soul to a grumpy pastry chef Evan Hart during a full moon spell gone wrong, sparks fly-both magical and romantic. With enchanted bees, mysterious recipes, and a town full of secrets, Kaia must navigate her feelings while untangling a curse that's more personal than she ever imagined.
But as their bond deepens, so does the danger surrounding Kaia's ancestral magic. And Evan might just be the only one who can help her unlock the truth-and her heart.
A cozy, swoony, magical romance filled with sweet chemistry, garden spells, and second chances.

Modern Pen Pals
💌 THESE ARE ONLY THE FIRST FEW CHAPTERS OF THE PUBLISHED BOOK 'MODERN PEN PALS' BY EVA CHAU. Available in print everywhere books are sold and on Amazon Kindle 💌 I'd heard about the snowball effect before, but I never truly understood it until I took my first step out of my comfort zone. All it took was getting an anonymous pen pal named Daldust-someone I could express myself to without the pressure of their opinions or judgments. Someone who could pull me out of reality and become a friend, despite my social anxiety. Before I knew it, the snowball had started rolling. Little did I know I would encounter my long-time crush and neighbour, along with his ever-present, enigmatic flatmate. Elijah rekindled in me a confidence I'd lost long ago, while Moon Hee reached the deepest parts of my soul. A few months ago, spending time with them and my best friend, Elisa, would have terrified me. Now, I long for it-for the late-night gatherings in our flat, the weekend trips, and the comfort I never received from my family. Then, the one event that changed my life five years ago resurfaced, causing all the snow I'd picked up along the way to collapse on me. What would have crushed me when I felt lonely now showed me that the people around me were the ones giving me the strength to continue. My pen pal had opened my heart to let others in, but before I discovered his true identity, he'd already taken it over. Modern Pen Pals is a contemporary romance with strangers-to-friends-to-lovers, love triangle, found family, pen pals, mental health representation, open-door spice, and multicultural romance (British x Korean) tropes.Complete

☕ Sugar & Steam (ForceBook)
When Force walks away from a corporate job to renovate a forgotten café in his hometown, the last thing he expects is to be saddled with a business partner-especially one like Book.

He also happens to be an incredibly talented pastry chef... and dangerously good at pushing Force's buttons. Between spilled flour, shared late nights, and stolen glances across the kitchen counter, the tension between them starts to rise-hot, undeniable, and impossible to ignore. One reckless kiss turns into something deeper. One night becomes two, and then many. But lust is easy. Love? That's where things get complicated. As the café begins to thrive, so does their connection-until fear, pride, and past wounds threaten to tear it all down. In a world full of burnt coffee, broken ovens, and beautiful mistakes, Force and Book will learn that some things are worth risking everything for... especially each other.Complete

Colton's Miracle ✔️ (Moved To Inkitt)
Officially a Wattpad Creator! This book is my lucky charm. Colton has grown up knowing nothing but anger, hatred, and pain. His past doesn't allow him to enjoy life like others do. Instead, he paints a glare on his face that scares most people away. And then suddenly, a petite little red head with freckles and a radiant smile shoves her way into his life, changing every concept he thought he knew and breaks every rule he thought he needed. With every encounter, the ice around Colton's heart melts until his heart is free to beat as loudly as it can, just for Lily. With a past even darker than Colton's, Lillian chooses her armor to be a smile. She has so many reasons to succumb to the darkness that fills her once innocent heart, but she focuses on enjoying the new life she just started. Being the new girl means she's free to pretend that she's just like everyone else, normal. And when she meets the rude and grumpy Colton, she can't help but notice how alike they actually are. Slowly, the two broken souls begin to help each other heal, and together, they start to learn what it's like to be loved, unaware that the ghosts of the past are still hovering in the shadows. **Topics mentioned in this story could be triggering, such as: Physical Abuse, and Sexual Harrassment. **There will be mature content (Explicit Scenes and Swearing). **All photos used are not mine and are found for public use. ** This is a work of fiction.

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

His Arranged Wife : When Love Wasn't The Plan
《Book 1 of "His" Series.》 "Come on, Firefly. Stop eating that," I said, half amused and half exasperated. But instead of listening, she walked over to me, holding the jar out with a determined look on her face. "You should put it on your lips too. You'll like it!" I raised an eyebrow. "No. I'm not doing that, Firefly." She pouted, stepping closer. "Come on, just once," she insisted, dipping her finger into the tiny jar and attempting to smear it on my lips. I caught her wrist, grinning as an idea struck me. "You really want me to taste it that badly?" I asked, my voice dropping a notch. "Yes!" she said, her enthusiasm masking the mischief in my tone. I leaned in slightly, lowering my voice further. "Alright then, you asked for it, Firefly." Before she could comprehend my words, I tilted her chin up and captured her lips with mine. The kiss wasn't soft or tentative-it was deliberate, consuming. My lips pressed firmly against hers, moving slowly but with intent. As I kissed her, the faint sweetness of the strawberry flavor mingled with something even better-the natural taste of her lips. She was breathless by the time I pulled away, her cheeks flushed, her eyes wide and dazed. I smirked, brushing my thumb gently over her now swollen lips. "You're right, Firefly," I murmured, my voice low and teasing. "The strawberry flavor is good. But your lips? They're even better." ⭐ Tropes ⭐: _______________ ✨ Arranged Marriage ❤️ 👩❤️👨 Elder Daughter × Younger Son 💍 💖 Kind, Sensitive & Strong FMC 🔥 Rude but captivated by her & "Touch Her and Die" MMC 💞 Spicy & Intense Romance 🌞 Grumpy × Sunshine Vibes - A love story where fate binds them, sparks fly, and hearts collide! 💫❤️🔥 ___________________ Start: 15/12/2024 End: 13/06/2025Complete
Medium Latte for Ell-yot Hayul
[Slow Brew Series 1 of 2] [Completed] Look, I didn't mean to embarrass myself the first time I walked into Brewing Grounds. Or the second. Or...every other time since. But something about the place-and the barista with the messy ponytail and the glasses that she pushes up her nose-makes me forget how to form actual sentences. Bea. Her name's Bea. She spelled mine wrong on my cup the first day (Ell-yot Hayul), and now I'm kind of obsessed. Not with her. With medium lattes. With her handwriting. With the little hearts she scribbles on my cups. Okay... maybe a little bit with her. The point is: I'm a walking disaster around her, and I'm pretty sure she knows it. And okay, maybe I started showing up every morning at exactly 7:30 just to see her. And maybe I've been reading up on how to flirt because I thought that might help (it hasn't). But honestly, what's the worst that could happen? I embarrass myself again? (Already done that.) Spill coffee on my tie? (Happened last week.) Accidentally fall in love with the barista who writes flirty notes on my coffee cups? Oh, wait...
