"If I were Elena, I would never let it end like that."

That's what Laura Smith, a sharp-tongued Nigerian-American college student, said after binge-reading the tragic romance novel The Crimson Letter. The book wrecked her-its heroine, Elena Rowan, gave everything for love and still died betrayed, broken, and forgotten.

Frustrated and heartbroken, Laura whispers her final thought into the night:

"If I were her, I'd rewrite the story."

The next morning, she opens her eyes... and she's no longer Laura.
She's Elena.

Thrust into the fictional world of a romance gone wrong, Laura has one mission: survive-and flip the script. Armed with full knowledge of every betrayal, heartbreak, and deadly twist, she begins reshaping Elena's story from chapter one.

But the deeper she dives into Elena's life, the less fictional everything begins to feel.

Why is Sebastian Drake, the brooding billionaire who was supposed to ruin her, now trying to protect her? Why is the second male lead making moves way too early? And who's pulling the strings behind the scenes-trying to force Laura to stick to Elena's doomed fate?

In a world where the rules are written in ink and love comes with deadly conditions, Laura must decide:
Will she play the role she was given... or become the author of her own ending?All Rights Reserved

Elena Bennett needs this internship-desperately. With bills piling up and her father's health deteriorating, Blackwell Industries seems like her only chance at survival. But the moment she steps into the glass tower and meets Sebastian Blackwell, the enigmatic billionaire CEO, she realizes she has walked straight into a cage lined with silk. Sebastian doesn't hire interns. Not usually. But something about Elena-her innocence, her quiet defiance, the way she doesn't belong in his world-ignites an obsession he didn't know he was capable of. And when Sebastian Blackwell wants something, he takes it. What begins as a simple job offer spirals into a dangerous game of power, control, and desire. Sebastian is ruthless, commanding, and darkly charming-yet behind his polished smile lurks secrets that could destroy her. Elena tells herself she can survive this. That she won't fall. But every glance, every word, every touch drags her deeper into his world-a world where loyalty is demanded, freedom is an illusion, and love feels more like a beautiful, merciless trap. She entered his office as an intern. She may never leave as herself. In a love story built on obsession, who holds the leash-and who becomes the prey?

The People We Think We Are by DimmedDevotion

Laura Steinberg is a special effects artist working on film sets in Seattle, crafting lifelike prosthetics and cinematic illusions. By day, she builds monsters for the screen. By night, she uses those same skills for a different purpose: impersonating elderly people to recoup money that was fraudulently taken from them. It isn't legal, but the commission help support her mother's expensive cancer treatments. When Laura takes on a case involving a charming financial advisor siphoning funds from his aging clients, she executes her smartest recovery yet. But the heist draws the attention of the FBI and of Kiran Müller, the reclusive CEO of a biotech company whose daughter was murdered twenty years ago. Müller offers Laura something no one else can: full coverage of her mother's treatment and legal protection, in exchange for one month living at his Lake Tahoe estate to reconstruct the final days of his daughter's life. What begins as an assignment quickly unravels into a psychological maze. The more Laura uncovers, the more she realizes Müller is not simply seeking answers he is controlling the narrative. Someone in the house is lying. Someone wants her there. And someone knows the truth behind Laura's own past. As Laura's disguises shift from tool to identity, she must confront the central question at the heart of Müller's offer: When we become who we pretend to be, what part of the original self disappears? THE PEOPLE WE THINK WE ARE explores identity, surveillance, deception, and the stories we construct to survive ourselves. I believe it will appeal to readers of Alex Michaelides, Frieda McFadden, Tana French, and Lisa Jewell. https://youtu.be/pQy7BWKy7Qg?si=SlFCH7z7AiilmFN7

Issues Of The Heart by EmberBluee2

"Father? " she calls in a cranky tone "What is really the meaning of these documents? ". He scoffs and sips his coffee less concerned " What does it look like? " he snaps "It's an arranged marriage obviously". He continues reading his newspapers and a tear drops down her face. " Father why are you doing this to me? " she whimpers "Why do you badly want to punish me? ". She chokes back the tears that were threatening to pour out " Because you've refused to grow and change!" he rasps "You have just decided to kill me before my time. You have already done enough and i'm quite fed up". He closes his newspaper and leans closer to her. " You are going to show up on your wedding day and marry the man i have chosen for you. Don't make things harder than it already is". He sprang up and storms out, she fell to the floor sobbing in unbearable pain. *Helena, a perhaps spoilt, wealthy young woman with the face and body. Of course she's every mans' dream but she rather sees men as a toy to be used and tossed aside. Actually she prefers the opposite, she doesn't want to fall victim of a situation where a man will use her and dump her like they are termed to always do. "So, literally she has no care in the world. But now the table has rotated and she's in for a forever game. Apparently, the above argument shows that her father signed an arranged marriage with a man she has never met and un-fortunately, there's no turning back........... Read More.......
