A Soft Life Series Novel
Nia James is burnt out. After years of building a nonprofit that saved everyone but herself, the only thing she's sure of now is that she's tired. Tired of being strong. Tired of being needed. Tired of running on empty with no one pouring back into her. So when Soft Life Lifestyle Concierge curates a luxury healing retreat in the quiet heart of Ubud, Bali, she says yes-but only to rest.
Love? That's not on the itinerary.
Until she meets him.
Amari Chen is a private chef and co-owner of the lush Balinese villa where Nia is staying. He speaks in flavors and silence, moving barefoot through the world with hands that nourish and eyes that see too much. Grief made him gentle. Solitude made him sacred. He's not interested in saving Nia-only feeding the parts of her she's long neglected.
Through sound baths, sacred meals, flower-soaked baths, and stillness, Nia begins to unravel-and not break.
But the real question isn't whether she'll fall for him.
It's whether she'll finally fall for herself.
A poetic, honey-slow journey into healing, Lavender in Bali is a celebration of Black woman rest, barefoot romance, and the kind of love that doesn't ask you to shrink.

Book-1 in the obsession series I told her not to wake me. I told her again and again, but she never learns. Every time she opens her mouth, every time she looks at him, something inside me burns. And tonight, I'm done warning.I press the knife against her chest and whisper, "I told you not to wake me... now see, what you did with yourself." Her eyes widen, tears mixing with sweat as the blade cuts deeper. She tries to grab my wrist, but I push harder, feeling the resistance fade under my hand. The sound of her gasp hits my ears, trembling, desperate-but all I feel is calm. Strange, but true. The deeper the knife goes, the quieter my thoughts become.He's mine. Not just his smile. Not just his body. Him-every breath, every heartbeat, every thought. Mine. And I don't share what's mine.She screams. The noise shakes through the room, sharp, irritating. "Ananya... you're doing wron-" Before she can finish, I push the blade all the way through her chest. The words die on her lips, replaced by silence."I don't like raised voices," I mutter, watching the light fade from her eyes. My voice sounds strange, lower than usual, almost satisfied. She falls back-limp, lifeless-eyes still open, like she's still trying to question me.The blood spreads across the floor, slow and uneven, and I kneel there, staring at it. This... this is peace. This is what quiet feels like. No begging. No pleading. Just me. And soon, him. No one can keep him like I can.I wipe the blade clean on her dress, stand up, and breathe deeply. The air smells sharp, metallic, real. My heart's steady again. The trembling's gone. Finally, again...only mine. She is not just a CEO but a devil who kills someone if they try to come in between them.When he will get to know her real, will his love break her darkness... or will his warmth be enough to meet her the real herself?

Wounded King || 18+ (On Hold)
His gaze locked into mine, intense, unwavering. "I need a verbal answer, little rose." I could hardly find my voice, but it escaped in a trembling whisper, "Y-yes... Abhii." In the next breath, he pulled my flush against him, his hand gripping the back of my neck. His lips found mine, gentle only for the first second before deepening. His kiss was commanding, urgent-sucking on my lips as if he'd never let me go. I tried to match him, to kiss him back, but his force, his hunger was overwhelming. All I could do was yield, surrender, let him take control. Wounded King is connected to the world of Shattered Silk, but it is a complete story on its own and can be read without reading the first book. Abhishek Rana never wanted a wife - only a name to offer someone with no one left. When he finds Naina, orphaned and alone, marrying her feels like fulfilling a duty... nothing more. "Not a single chapter wasted-every page pulls you deeper into a slow-burn that won't let you go." A slow-burn, age-gap romance between two broken souls forced into an unwanted marriage - and a love neither of them saw coming.
Session 32.
A psychological lesbian romance Rena POV I don't want to be here. I don't want to talk. And I damn sure don't want to sit across from a woman who looks at me like she's already under my skin. She's calm. Measured. Everything I'm supposed to be. But when she tells me to breathe, I forget how. When she says my name, I feel it in places I shouldn't. Simone POV She walks in like she's ready to fight me. But I've seen that look before-rage barely holding grief together. Rena doesn't trust anyone to hold her. So I won't ask her to. I'll wait. I'll listen. And when she finally cracks... I'll be right there to feel it. Some wounds don't want to be healed-they want to be touched.Kumpleto
Found Again 🌙
After five years of silence, Nila wasn't expecting to see Aarav again-especially not in the same office corridor where their story had once quietly unraveled. She had learned to bury her feelings, to live with the echoes of love that never got to grow. But fate has its own rhythm. From shared glances to shared coffee, from unsent letters to late-night conversations, Nila and Aarav begin to rewrite what was lost. Not with grand declarations, but with the slow, aching honesty of people who've been broken-and are now brave enough to hold each other gently. This is not a love story about fireworks. It's about returning. About staying. About the quiet kind of love that asks nothing but presence... and gives everything in return. A story of second chances, soft tension, and the love that waited.Kumpleto
𝐀𝐥𝐥 𝐈 𝐖𝐚𝐧𝐭
Kayla had it all mapped out-study hard, chase her dreams, and keep her heart out of the equation. Love wasn't part of the plan. It never was. But then she met him. A single glance. A shift in the air. And suddenly, the life she thought she wanted didn't feel complete anymore. She told herself to stay focused. That her goals came first. But he made her laugh when she wasn't supposed to. He saw through the walls she didn't know she'd built. And with every moment, every quiet exchange, something began to unfold between them-something deep, real... and terrifying. She didn't know if it was love. She just knew it felt like everything she never knew she needed. All I Want is a story of unexpected connection, quiet longing, and the kind of love that rewrites everything. ❀•*+❀•ᴀʟʟ ɪ ᴡᴀɴᴛ•❀+*•❀ 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 : 𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 • 𝟏𝟎 • 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟏 𝐄𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 : 𝐌𝐚𝐲 •𝟏𝟖 • 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐Kumpleto

Blood of the willing
In the shadows of despair, a broken woman seeks the ultimate release... Magnolia has spent three years trying to rebuild her life after escaping captivity, but the scars run deeper than skin. Haunted by trauma and struggling with autism in a world that refuses to accommodate her differences, she makes one final choice: to surrender her life with dignity to a vampire who promises an end to her suffering. Henri Devereux has existed for four centuries, walking a careful path between monster and man. From his isolated château, he offers a unique service to those who wish to die-taking their blood in a ritual that gives meaning to their final moments. It's an arrangement that has preserved his humanity and satisfied his hunger... until now. What begins as a three-day preparation for death transforms into an unexpected connection as Henri recognizes something extraordinary in Magnolia's perspective-a unique way of experiencing the world that awakens curiosity he thought long dead. For Magnolia, the château offers something she never expected to find again: a space where her differences aren't flaws to be overcome but aspects to be respected. As midnight approaches on the third day, both must confront impossible questions. Can Magnolia find a reason to live after believing for so long that she was broken beyond repair? Can Henri relinquish the blood he craves without losing the connection that has awakened his long-dormant heart? A darkly romantic tale of trauma, healing, and the thin line between endings and beginnings, *Blood of the Willing* explores how two souls-one immortal, one shattered-might find completion in each other's broken pieces. *Content warning: Contains depictions of trauma, sexual assault, suicidal ideation, and consensual blood exchange.*Kumpleto
𝙋𝙖𝙠𝙝𝙞 : His Sinful Obsession
#trending 1 on 17-10-25 (#book-2 of PAKHI ) PROLOGUE :- I've seen the love that burned its own home to ashes. I've seen him drown himself in alcohol-not for pleasure, not for addiction-but to escape her. To blur the edges of the memories that refused to fade. Her presence haunts him like a ghost he can't outrun. And his heart... I've seen it clench, tremble, shatter. Over and over again. I was there when he fell to his knees for her. I've witnessed every single change in him-because of her. She didn't just love a monster... she changed him. She turned the devil into a man. And yet- She left. Left him with nothing but misunderstandings and silence. And now, their lives have once again dived into the same ocean they once tried to swim across together- An ocean full of hate, betrayal, ruthlessness. New entries are coming-people who will twist their fate. Old secrets are still buried, hidden faces moving the pieces behind the destruction I'm standing in the middle of. He once burned a country when he said he hated her. And she? She stood still. Took everything he threw at her. The pain. The humiliation. The disrespect. Like she was born to carry it. But just think. Just think for a moment. Just for a fucking moment- What happens... when they love each other again? What happens when the misunderstandings clear, when the pain turns to passion, when the hate turns into something softer, deeper, dangerous? What happens when he claims her again? If hate made him burn the world- What the hell will love make him do?
