Martha wasn't looking for anything - just a night out with her girls, a few drinks, and maybe a little dancing. But when her eyes lock with a stranger across the bar, everything changes. George is charming, mysterious, and unexpectedly sincere. As their worlds collide over champagne and stolen glances, their friends-each with their own quirks, secrets, and flirtations-get pulled into the whirlwind.
Between bold jokes, unexpected connections, and an exchange that didn't go according to plan, one thing becomes clear: sometimes, the best stories begin with a single look across the room.

A goodbye we called love
He never expected history to change his future. What began as a simple admiration for his history teacher soon grew into a connection neither of them could ignore. When she leaves the school, their paths should have parted forever - but instead, friendship brings them back together. As time passes, friendship turns into something deeper, something neither of them planned yet both longed for. A story of first love, forbidden emotions, and a bond that defies time and circumstance, this novel captures the beauty of a love that was never meant to be... yet became unforgettable.
Sans Cesse
"I don't know if I loved him or survived him. Maybe it's the same thing" He set fire to the world but never let a flame touch her. Aria is an English philosophy student chasing reinvention in Paris; a city romanticised by poets, but cruel to the lonely. Behind her sharp tongue and steady stare, is a woman shaped by absence and aching for intensity, connection, purpose. Tired of running, but terrified of staying still. She tells herself she's cold. She tells herself she's untouchable. Harrison is brilliant, sharp, unknowable. The kind of man who disappears mid-sentence, who walks like he's carrying sins he'll never confess. You don't fall in love with Harrison, you fall into him. With a past soaked in violence and a heart barricaded by guilt, he lives in exile from the world, and from himself. The last thing he ever wanted was to be seen. Drawn together by fate, or fatal flaw, they orbit one another like lit matches and gasoline. It isn't love, not yet. It's something more dangerous: recognition. And when the flame becomes a fire, who will get burnt? This isn't their story, it's yours. You've been here, haven't you? Where love feels like war, and silence is a kind of violence. Where you knew it would break you, and you still begged for more. Read on, if you're brave enough to feel yourself burn.
HER FATHER'S EYES
When a young girl from France arrives in Cambridge, she's hoping for a fresh start a quiet life far from the ghosts of her past. But everything changes when she befriends a kind, curious classmate who invites her into her world and into her home. Behind those welcoming walls, she finds comfort, belonging... and an unexpected connection with someone she was never meant to love her friend's father. What begins as warmth soon spirals into desire, secrecy, and guilt. In a house built on trust, one secret will destroy everything. A story of forbidden love, shattered innocence, and the devastating price of crossing the line.
Hidden Flame
In the shadowed corridors of a prestigious university, a once-forbidden love smolders anew, pulling a former teacher and her alluring student into a dangerous game of seduction.

lessons in temptation
She's a student. He's a teacher. Forbidden, dangerous, and impossible to ignore. Eliza has always admired Mr. Hayes from afar-the tidy blue-eyed man who commands the classroom with perfection and quiet confidence. But when stolen glances turn into lingering touches, and subtle teasing becomes undeniable desire, their connection ignites a fire neither of them can control. In a world where rules, rumors, and consequences threaten to keep them apart, they must navigate secret meetings, heated confessions, and a pull so strong it could destroy everything-or bring them closer than they ever imagined. Forbidden. Intense. Passionate.
