He left without a word.
Seven years later, he's back-scarred, silent, and standing in her doorway
Leila lives a quiet life inside a forgotten bookshop. The world outside may have kept moving, but in here, everything waits-soft candles, lavender nights, and one empty window seat she never let go of.
Then he returns.
Tommy doesn't ask for forgiveness.
He doesn't say much at all.
But when he looks at her, it feels like thunder waiting to break the sky.
She should shut the door.
But she doesn't.
Because some people leave marks so deep, even time doesn't dare erase them.
In the flicker of candlelight and the silence of almost-kisses, two broken souls will face the truth:
This isn't just about the past.
This isn't just a second chance.
This is the beginning of belonging.
"Don't kiss me like you're about to leave.
Kiss me like you plan to stay."

In Your Hands | 𝑮𝒊𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒔𝒔 × 𝑻𝒊𝒏𝒚
💗 𝑮𝒊𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒔𝒔 × 𝑻𝒊𝒏𝒚 In a world where giants and tinies have slowly learned to coexist, where the smallest are beginning to gain rights-or at least the luckiest among them-tiny shops are becoming increasingly rare and empty. But for those that remain, it's as if the new rights don't exist. Jessica is one of them. Born and raised in a tiny shop, she knows all too well that one day she will be sold to a giant. She has never known freedom, nor the gentle warmth of a sincere touch. Everything changes when she is given to Samantha, an independent giantess who never imagined having a tiny in her home. Sam can be determined, sometimes brusque, but beneath her strength lies care and attentiveness. Will Jessica be able to truly trust Samantha, or will the fear that has shaped her life push her to run away? A story of fear, discovery, and affection, where every gesture can change everything. ⚠️ WARNINGS / CONTENT: This is a slow burn story with an emotional tone and strong erotic content. Explicit sex, sensual tension, power dynamics, sensitive themes such as trauma, trust, and fear. Intended for mature, consenting readers only.

To Nani, With Silence [SkyNani]
Sky Wongravee and Nani Hirunkit grew up side by side-two boys from broken homes, stitched together by quiet moments, secret hideouts, and a bond neither of them could name. But when a lie shattered their world, Sky turned his back-and Nani disappeared behind the silence that had always haunted him. Years later, Sky sees him again. But the boy he once loved is a shadow now, buried beneath trauma, guilt, and scars no one ever cared to see. This time, Sky won't walk away. This time, he'll break the silence. "Say nothing-I still hear you" - Sky.Complete
May I Kiss Your Scars? || BL
Trying to bear it quietly, Sam has always carried a lot of baggage. Yet he remains cluelessly reliant on a childhood friend who's always been there---in ways he isn't fully aware of.

A place that whispers a truth to him that will slowly become clear, as unspoken emotions unravel and nothing remains certain anymore. Love is dangerous when you don't know if it's real. And the real question is: will it heal them, or hurt them both? __________________________________________ This is a SLOWBURN BL book. Also has some GL on the side.

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.

His Return (if not you...)
Her hand's still. I'm gripping it like it's the last lifeline in a storm. In my head, I'm yelling: You got this. Come back. Do it. But hey.. tears, will you stop making an entrance now? I need focus. Stop. I repeat it like a mantra. You can do it. You can do it. Again. And again. I don't know if I'm trying to convince her... or myself. ~~~ When they uncover the truth about the culprit, will they be able to handle it? Or will it tear everything apart? Their relationship is still new. Will it fall apart under pressure, or will they choose to fight for it? Step into Part Two of this gripping journey.. where light meets shadow, and love is tested by truth. ~~~ Hey lovely readers.. this is a continuation of the story 'His Return (what if...)'. I would recommend reading the first part to better understand what's happening in this one. Happy Reading. Thanks for supporting my words.
The Pieces You Left Me (Book 2)
Leo is learning how to breathe again. Maddie is still the calm in his storm. They're older now-changed by time, by pain, by everything they've fought to survive. But some things don't change. Like the way he looks at her. Like the way she always knows what he needs, even when he doesn't. This is a story about love that grows with you. About holding space for someone even when it hurts. About choosing each other-again and again-even when the world keeps pulling you apart. And maybe... about finding your way back when you never really let go. Story Snippet: ---- And she hasn't looked at me in twenty minutes. I know it's not personal. I know she's not trying to be cold. But it feels like I'm on the outside of something I didn't even know I could be outside of. I swallow hard and move toward her before I can talk myself out of it. She glances up as I approach, blinking like she didn't expect me to come over. Her smile flickers but doesn't quite fade. I reach for the hem of her hoodie and tug on it lightly-just enough for her to feel it. "Maddie," I say, quietly. "I really don't like this." Her body stills. She looks at me, really looks at me now, and the sound of the others fades a little. Her eyes soften, but her shoulders don't drop. Not yet. ---- Continuation of "The Softest Parts of Me" Book 1 I highly suggest reading the first book before this one!!! I post Chapter Updates daily! (cover pic is from pinterest)Complete
Leaving you to love you again
Jane thought walking away from Max was the only way to save herself. She signed the papers, left behind the home she once built with him, and vanished into a new city - determined never to look back.

As Jane builds a new life - a flower shop, a quiet routine, moments of laughter with the kids - Max begins to step into her world again. He's different now: softer, more patient, quietly devoted. But the past still hurts. And when a sudden accident leaves Jane with no memory of the pain that once drove her away, Max sees a second chance - not just to win her back, but to build the life they never got to finish. This is a story of heartbreak, healing, and finding your way home - a slow-burn second-chance romance where love grows again, stronger than before. "Sometimes, leaving is the only way home."Complete
You Talk Too Much
Nicolas didn't want friends. Didn't want attention. Definitely didn't want her. But then Lina sat next to him. Every. Single. Day. She talked through the awkward silences, laughed at her own jokes, and asked questions he never answered. She was chaos in sneakers and bubblegum lip gloss - and he wanted nothing to do with her. ...Until he did. Because somehow, her noise started drowning out the thoughts he didn't know how to escape. And her voice became the only thing that made the silence bearable. This isn't a love story. Not at first. This is a story about a boy who lost his spark... And the girl who wouldn't let him disappear quietly. ✅ Nicolas ✅ Lina ✅ "You Talk Too Much" ✅ High school setting ✅ Healing + chaos + slow-burn (Btw I forgot to add that there will be no smut of any kind in this story. Maybe an innocent kiss or something but nothing else)
