Sawyer Hawthorne has built a life on hard work, quiet routines, and keeping his heart locked tight - especially in Foxglove Ridge, a town where everyone knows your name and your history.

Lillian Winslow is the bright spark he never saw coming - a schoolteacher with a sunny smile and a stubborn streak just as strong as his own. She's determined to prove that beneath Sawyer's tough exterior beats a heart capable of love.

Their slow-burning connection crackles with teasing banter, unexpected tenderness, and moments that make them question everything they thought they knew about trust and vulnerability.

In a place where secrets linger like the scent of wildflowers and every glance holds a story, Sawyer and Lillian must decide if they're willing to risk their carefully guarded hearts for a chance at something real - and unforgettable.

Midnight by mitchc13

Wren Winslow is chaos in heels. Untouchable. All sharp lines and cold eyes. She dances like she's trying to forget something and drinks like it's working. Beautiful, brutal, and impossible to know, Wren has a reputation: she's the girl no one gets too close to. And that's exactly how she likes it. Rafe Lanford has spent six years watching everything from the shadows of Midnight, the city's most exclusive nightclub. As the club's head bouncer, control is his currency-powerful, dangerous, and never out of his depth. But Wren Winslow? She's always been the exception. Too bold. Too stunning. Too goddamn off-limits. The brutal past Wren tries to bury is clawing its way back-her abusive ex-boyfriend is getting out of prison, and the panic she thought she outran is catching up fast. What begins as a reckless sex pact-just heat, no strings, no hearts-spirals into something darker, hungrier, and far more dangerous. Because Rafe isn't just temptation, he's protection, possession. And he's about to burn the whole fucking world down to keep Wren safe.

With his gentle patience and fierce protectiveness, Tate begins to chip away at the walls Pia built to survive. But healing doesn't come easy. Especially when the past refuses to stay buried. Just as she starts to rediscover who she is-an artist, a mother, maybe even someone worth loving-a viral video threatens to expose her new life. And her ex? He's been watching.

Fate by SabbiePar

(Short story) "This kiss just sealed the deal. You're mine and only mine now, Grace." His voice is low and rough like gravel and laced with something primal. I stop breathing. The air thickens, electric, heavy like the sky before a storm breaks. Everything stills, but the static between us crackles like it's seconds from combusting. His breath fans across my lips-close, so close-but still not touching. My heart slams against my ribs, erratic and loud, like it's trying to break free from my chest. Then his hand finds my jaw. His palm is rough, warm, grounding-but the look in his eyes? That's a wildfire. Just heat and hunger and something darker. "I..." The word is a whisper, barely there, shaky and useless. I can't finish it. His nose brushes mine in the softest graze, but there's nothing innocent about the way he's looking at me. Like he's seconds away from tearing me apart. Like he's been starving for this. "Say something" he murmurs, voice thick, his eyes flicking to my mouth. My lips part, not to speak, but because I need to breathe, to taste the tension curling like smoke around us. His thumb drags across my lower lip, slow and deliberate. My knees damn near buckle. I grab the front of his shirt, clutching it in both fists like he's the only thing tethering me to the ground. He leans in closer. And then his lips brush mine. Barely. A whisper of a kiss, soft enough to make me shiver. Then he kisses me again.
