Ashes, Stitches & Bullet Wounds
Firefighter Riley Hartmann is the first to notice it-strange rescue calls with victims who all say the same thing before passing out: "Don't trust the shadows." ER doctor Elena Moretti sees a pattern too-patients arriving with identical injuries from unrelated accidents, all terrified of someone who doesn't appear on any record. Detective Jordan Blake, still haunted by a ruined military mission, is investigating a series of break-ins that leave no fingerprints and no clues. None of these cases make sense. None of them seem connected. But they are. And they're about to drag all three women into something far bigger than any of them can handle alone. They don't know each other yet. They don't even know the same danger is circling them. But by the time they finally cross paths, one truth will be impossible to ignore- Someone has been watching them. Someone wants them involved. And someone is willing to kill to keep the real secret buried. A poly romance wrapped in mystery, tension, and the kind of danger that brings three strangers together long before they're ready... and long after they can walk away.
OBSESSION. too personal
This could have been a gentle story for quiet autumn evenings. But it shattered against Morphine - a chapter that will not let you stay indifferent. And now, you'll understand why. This is not a story about perfect love. It's about healing through pain, about love that blooms after trauma, and about the fragile line between salvation and obsession. She is a woman rebuilding herself from the ashes. Not strong - simply real. A mother. A fighter. A writer whose words cut deeper than truth itself. She doesn't want to be someone's muse - she only wants to be understood. He is the man the world worships... and fears. A legend. A symbol of an era. But behind the fame, there's a man haunted by his own darkness. Together, they are fire and gasoline - two broken souls learning how to love without losing themselves. Their story isn't a fairytale. It's an age-gap dark romance about redemption, grief, and the courage to love again. With touch. With words. With silence between the lines.Complete

Water, oil, and lush land are relics of the past, valued more than money.

They were once reluctant allies but now find themselves embroiled in a deadly, global fight for the planet's few remaining resources. While the population fights to survive in enormous urban wastelands, both regimes use advanced technologies and covert tactics in a desperate push for absolute dominion. During the pandemonium, 17-year-old Caleb Morrow, a scrappy survivor from the ruins of Canada, is conscripted into the US military. Meanwhile, on the other side, Elena Morozova, an 18-year-old Russian conscript hailing from the ruins of Norway, ascends the ranks in the Russian military. As this conflict between the 2 last countries left spirals out of control, the past suddenly begins to rise from the ashes leaving questions to arise in the thoughts of many soldiers on both sides including Caleb and Elena that, if answered, reveals a dark and unsettling truth.

WHERE WINTER BLOOMS
Sometimes, first love isn't a person. It's the first time someone truly sees you. Nathan sings in silence. No one knows he does. No one asks why he stopped shining. Ryan pretends he's fine. No one notices he's breaking inside. A paper plane connects them. An empty theater listens. And in the middle of the world's noise, two boys find in music a language more honest than words. But growing up hurts. Loving hurts more. And the fear of disappointing those who should protect you can be louder than any melody. This story is for those who've ever felt like they didn't belong. For those who carry invisible wounds and still dare to dream. For those who know that love doesn't always shout... sometimes, it just sings.
