The Coldest Heart
Once, she was an open book. Now, Alia is a fortress of ice, built brick by brick with every betrayal she's endured. After being used and broken, she escapes to Seoul, reinventing herself as the "perfect girl"-a calculated, cold-hearted force who wants nothing to do with love. But her past is a shadow that follows, and her carefully constructed walls start to crack when she meets him. He is a man of secrets, a creature of primal instinct living in a world of humans. He came to this land for a reason shrouded in ancient pacts and old bloodlines, and he is as detached from human emotion as she is. Yet, the moment their eyes meet, a forbidden spark ignites. He is drawn to her impenetrable heart; she is terrified by the unknown emotions he awakens. As her past enemies resurface and his own world threatens to collide with hers, Alia must confront the ultimate question: Can a cold heart learn to love a cold-blooded one? Or will their fragile connection shatter, leaving her lost in the darkness forever?
Milk Honey & Her
▪️COSY ROMANCE▪️ "Some things can't wait indeed..." Elias leaned just slightly closer. "But maybe some moments are worth bad timing," he murmured, his tone carrying a weight that made her chest tighten. "What do you mean?" Cora stifled a whimper. He let out a quiet breath, eyes still on hers as his hand fell to his side, "This moment. Us. It'll find its time." **** When Cora Whitmore leaves behind a high-stress publishing job and a broken engagement, all she wants is stillness. Inheriting her late aunt's ramshackle countryside cottage seems like a sign; from whom, she's not sure, but it comes with ivy-covered walls, creaky floors, and a garden overrun with wild things. Just across the fence lives Elias Tidley, a reclusive goat keeper who spends his days making goat milk soap, honeyed cheeses and speaking mostly to animals. Stoic, grounded, and unreadable, he's everything Cora isn't, and yet somehow, he sees her. Not the version she tried to be in the city, but who she is now: messy, uncertain, and just beginning to bloom again. With help from a few mischievous goats and a community that quietly welcomes her in, Cora starts to imagine a life made of early peaceful mornings, soft-spoken companionship, and small, steady joys. But as the seasons shift and their bond deepens, Cora must decide whether she's brave enough to stay. For the land, for herself and for the man who never asked her to change a single thing.? 🔅Rated PG: Suitable for all ages. ------------------------------------------------- Cover Photo: Edited by @KimberlyTanithMarie using an image from Canva © All rights reserved 2025 I DO NOT consent to my story being translated, copied or otherwise reproduced by anyone.Complete

Christmas at the Cabin | ONC 2023 (Complete)
Determined and quick thinking, Amelia Conti is okay on her own. She's also an expert in outdoor sports. So when her boss offers her the winter hike of a lifetime, she says yes even before she knows who she'll be guiding. Or how much it will pay. If she'd taken the time to research the man who bought the last-minute premium tour, a demanding CEO named Damien Serrano, she might have reconsidered her answer. Well, maybe not. It is an absurd amount of money. He's grumpy to her sunshine, Christmas-lover to her Christmas dread, and the kind of man used to getting what he wants. Arrogance might work in a boardroom, but on the side of a mountain in the middle of winter, it's a hazard. If Damien can't learn to relinquish some control, they might not make it to the end of the hike alive. But everything comes to a head when an unexpected weather event pushes them even closer together. Water meets fire and something has to give. The question is, who will bend first? ~ * ~ * ~ This is one of the novellas I'm writing for ONC 2023. You can find the rest on my profile! This story is based primarily on prompt 13.
