Noah didn't expect anything to change.
He was just trying to get through his final year unnoticed, untouched, and done.

But whatever it was, it's starting to pull Noah into something he can't ignore.

The Girl No One Chose
I gave him everything. My heart. My body. My secrets. He gave me silence-and loved someone else. I was just the distraction. The warm body. The easy f*ck. Not the girl he showed off. Not the one he kissed in public. Not the one he chose. Now I'm done waiting. Done begging to be seen. Because the girl no one chose... She's about to become the girl no one forgets.

Shadows of You
Noah always thought engineering was hard. Endless formulas, sleepless nights, professors who treated coffee and stress like oxygen-it was enough to crush anyone. But surviving college was nothing compared to the moment he showed up. Ethan. At least, that's what he first called himself. Quiet, untouchable, and carrying shadows in his eyes, Ethan was the kind of boy who made people whisper without even trying. And yet, when he decided to speak, his words cut deep-sharp enough to bruise Noah's pride, sharp enough to leave scars. But the more Noah tried to figure him out, the stranger things became. Ethan wasn't just Ethan. He was someone else too. Someone who smiled too easily, someone who touched without hesitation, someone who looked at Noah like he was both a puzzle and an answer. Two names. Two faces. One boy who could either ruin Noah's life... or change it forever. And maybe, just maybe-Noah wasn't ready for either.
The Shadow I Loved...
He came like a secret, wrapped in silence and danger. Everyone warned me to stay away - but how do you escape someone who never chases, only watches? His words were rare, but his presence spoke louder than any promise. With every stolen glance, I lost a little more of myself... and found a side of me I never knew existed. Now I can't tell if he's protecting me from the darkness - or if he is the darkness itself. A story of obsession, surrender, and the kind of love that burns quietly... until it consumes you.
The Edge of Almost
"I didn't mean to fall for him. Not while I was still trying to love someone else." One lie was all it took to unravel the life I thought I had. Before the heartbreak, there was chaos. Old friends turning into strangers, feelings I wasn't suppose to feel, and a love that once felt like forever. I thought I knew what real love was. I thought I knew who I was. Until everything changed. Now I'm standing at the edge of almost--- almost happy, almost healed, almost honest. When almost isn't enough, what's left to hold on to?

Through the Lavender Fields
Ethan James, a travel writer from the U.S., has just emerged from a painful breakup. Seeking peace and inspiration, he escapes to the lavender fields of Provence, France, hoping to write his next book. There, he meets Julien Delacroix, a quiet, reserved local perfumer who crafts exquisite fragrances from the lavender Ethan adores. Their first encounter is far from smooth-Ethan accidentally crashes into Julien's bike, sparking tension. Julien, however, offers a deal: Ethan can help with the lavender harvest, and Julien will forgive the damage to his prized bicycle. Though they are opposites, Ethan's openness and enthusiasm slowly break through Julien's barriers. Julien has spent years avoiding the emotional turmoil of a past love lost. His lavender farm, a quiet haven, serves as both refuge and reminder of his pain. Ethan's relentless curiosity begins to draw him out of his shell, and they start spending more time together-working in the fields, distilling lavender oil, sharing meals under the fading sunlight. A tentative friendship forms, but as their connection deepens, so does the risk of vulnerability. As the summer festival celebrating the lavender harvest nears, their chemistry becomes undeniable. A night of dancing beneath the stars turns their bond into a blossoming romance. However, Julien, afraid of repeating past heartache, pushes Ethan away, fearing love will only leave him broken again. Caught between the promise of a new life with Julien and the demands of his career back home, Ethan must choose-follow his professional obligations or open his heart to a future in Provence. In a final act of courage, he returns to Julien with a gift-a fragrance inspired by their time together.0Complete
The Unlocked Door
"I told myself it was just a crush. Then I forgot to lock the bathroom door, and he caught me with my hand between my legs, whispering his name." Emerson has the perfect distraction for her chaotic life: Friday night movie marathons at her best friend Chloe's house. Everything is safe. Everything is normal. Except for the low, dangerous hum of Elias Thorne, Chloe's reserved, salt-and-pepper gorgeous father, the man who smells like black coffee and forbidden desire. He's forty-something, untouchable, and utterly off-limits. She's eighteen, reckless, and obsessed with the casual authority in his eyes. One night, driven by a humiliating rush of forbidden impulse, Em slips into the bathroom. She's supposed to pee and leave. Instead, she's sitting on the edge of the tub, letting her mind run wild with the memory of his broad shoulders and his dark, penetrating gaze. She's breathless, trembling, and utterly lost in a private, guilty moment. Then, the click. She forgot the lock. Elias Thorne is standing in the doorway. He sees everything-the shock on her face, the shame, and the raw, undeniable need. In the searing, electric silence, he doesn't yell. He doesn't slam the door. He just stands there, his throat tightening, as Emerson's body betrays her with a whispered moan of climax. Now, the world hasn't ended, but it's changed. The shame is crushing, but the thrill is addictive. In the quiet exchanges across the living room, they share a scorching secret that Chloe can't see. He remembers exactly what he saw. And Em knows the final, dangerous truth: She wanted him to catch her... and now they both have to live with the consequences. A slow-burn, agonizingly tense story about forbidden obsession, power dynamics, and the danger of an unlocked door.Complete

Not the boy who saved her from a playground meltdown. Not the best friend who became her first kiss... her first love... her everything. But when he moved across the world, he left her with nothing but a broken promise and a gold star necklace she still wears like a scar. She swore she'd wait. He swore they'd find each other again. But two weeks after he came back, he was holding another girl's hand. Now it's war. And Lisa's done playing soft. Noah thought leaving Lisa behind would protect them both. He didn't expect to fall apart without her. Neither did he expect to learn the truth-something so brutal it made him question every moment they'd ever shared and see her as a stranger in the skin of the girl he once loved. And he definitely didn't expect to fall into someone else's arms trying to forget the taste of her lips. But Lisa's not the shy girl he left behind. She's colder now. Hotter, too. And every time he looks at her like he hates her, he wants to grab her and make her remember everything. This isn't just a breakup. It's unfinished business. First love never dies. But it might just destroy them both. πππππππ/πππππππ ππππππ : β₯ mature/sexual themes β₯ alcohol references β₯ language β₯ mild violence β₯ SLOWBURN! word count- 130,000 started- July 07 2023, Finished- May 2025 Copyright all rights reservedComplete
