In a quiet town pulsing with secrets and second chances, Life and Emery follows the journey of Emery-a woman haunted by loss, fiercely independent, and unexpectedly pregnant-as she stumbles into a life that feels both foreign and strangely meant to be. Offered refuge behind the bustling warmth of a local bar, she carves out a modest sanctuary in a converted storage room, determined to rebuild her world piece by piece.
But rebuilding isn't simple. Especially when Jamie-stoic, loyal, and frustratingly magnetic-keeps showing up, offering far more than safety. As their relationship deepens and emotional walls begin to crumble, Emery must confront the ghosts of her past, the tenderness of chosen family, and the terrifying beauty of becoming a mother.
Woven through painterly scenes of domestic intimacy, fragile vulnerability, and quiet joy, this story is a love letter to found family, the ache of beginning again, and the fierce softness that comes with finally letting someone in.

Always Almost
Emery James has spent most of her life loving Wesley Hayes quietly. Best friends since childhood, they've shared late-night pizza, prom slow dances, and one unforgettable night they never talk about. Now twenty-four, Emery's a Brooklyn-based columnist with a carefully curated life and a heart full of unfinished feelings. When a new love interest enters the picture-someone who sees her fully and actually shows up-Emery is forced to confront what she's spent years avoiding: the truth about Wesley, the weight of what they almost were, and what she really wants now. Caught between a boy who's never claimed her, a man who might actually mean it, and the complicated threads of friendship, family, and self-worth, Emery must decide: hold onto the comfort of almost, or risk it all for something real.Concluida
Little Light (GxG)
In a world that moves too fast, she's learning to breathe slowly. To feel again. To let someone touch the parts of her she thought were long gone. There are no crowns here. No thrones. Just the quiet war of learning how to be held without flinching. She doesn't beg for safety. She creates it in silence. And when she kneels, it's not for weakness- it's because she trusts. But trust has a pulse. And it just might be hers. A story of shadows softened by light, of control given, not taken. Of healing whispered through touch, and love written in silence. This isn't where the pain begins. It's where it learns to rest. ⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ : EMOTIONAL INTIMACY SUBSPACE SLOW-BURN HEALING TRIGGERING THEMES (VULNERABILITY, TRUST, PAST TRAUMA) 🔴 Tops: 🔴 1.

30 Days to Fall
One month. One town. One chance to start over. After a painful breakup and a year of silence between her and the page, Ellie Hartley takes a leap of faith and signs up for a month-long writing retreat in the quiet coastal town of Greybridge. Surrounded by crashing waves, sleepy cafés, and strangers with kind eyes, she hopes to find inspiration-or at the very least, a little peace. But when she meets Liam Mercer, a guarded local with a past he refuses to share, her plans unravel faster than her favorite sweater in the wind. He's quiet, brooding, and clearly wants nothing to do with her... until he does. As the days pass, Ellie and Liam find themselves pulled into each other's worlds-reluctantly at first, then all at once. But love built on borrowed time comes with a choice: walk away when the thirty days are up... or risk everything to stay. In this slow-burn, heartwarming romance filled with laughter, loss, and late-night secrets, 30 Days to Fall asks: What if the love of your life was never part of the plan-but exactly what you needed all along?Concluida
Falling For A Cowboy (NOW ON GALATEA)
Second Chance Romance Love-at-first sight--faster-paced love affair Single father Surprise baby HEA standalone Five years ago, my life changed when my wife left my two-year-old son and me in the middle of the night-breaking my heart. After that, I vowed to friends and family that I'd never fall in love again and would only focus on raising my autistic son and working on my farm and horse ranch. That was until a beautiful blonde-haired, green-eyed beauty moved to my town--changing my life forever. Being stubborn, I did everything I could not to let my ticker control me and my thinking process--avoiding eye contact with Josie, conversations, and what my ticker, mind, and soul was telling me... But then I saw Josie daily at the diner she worked at and became jealous whenever Jack, the town's annoying wanna-be cowboy, tried striking a relationship up with her. I always felt my wife, Hailey, would return to Maverick and me, and we'd be a family again. But the more time I focused on the new girl in town, the more I wanted Hailey out of my life, and the more I wanted Josie in mine. Then, one night, my life forever changed when I allowed a door to open and gave Josie something I said I'd never give--my ticker. Credit for cover: selfpubbookcovers.com/AKcoverdesignConcluida
Packless
In the close-knit town of Wetherby Hollow, being packless is a red flag. Omegas without protection, Alphas without structure-it's not how things are done around here. But Micah Thorn, a stubborn Omega in his mid-20s, has no choice. After their parents died in a car accident five years ago, Micah stepped in to raise their three younger siblings-two of whom haven't presented yet. Since then, they've been working two jobs, dodging social services, and trying to stay off the town council's radar. When a newly presented Alpha teenager-Jesse Hale-is dropped off like unwanted baggage by his wealthy, neglectful parents, Micah is roped into fostering him "temporarily." Jesse is quiet, damaged, and angry- but not dangerous. Just lost. Then his older brother shows up. WARNINGS Mpreg, MXM love, very graphic gay sex, Childbirth via the anus (Also very graphic), Sex scenes, self harm(Not much), mentions of grape, PTSD, Hallucinations, bad language, discrimination, threat, major character death (Only like two characters, it's fine). I'll put warnings in the chapters where these occur, so if you can skip- although you might be a little lost because these tie into the plot. My characters views or actions do not reflect my own, this is purely fiction that does reflect real life situations (Except for the mpreg, unfortunately)so i try to be mindful and respectful. I also just write about these things because I find it interesting. That is it and that is all. Enjoy #1 in #smalltown
Fire Burning
♡~The depth of love can be the depth of sorrow~♡ Some fires never die. They just move from house to heart. Emery's father was a hero once-a firefighter with a heart full of courage. But that was before the drinking. Before the bruises. Before her mother's body was found in a bathtub, wearing white like she was ready to meet God. Now sixteen, Emery is sent to live with her godmother-her mother's final wish and her father's only chance at inheriting anything. But grief doesn't disappear with distance, and trauma doesn't wait to be healed. Thrown into a new house full of unfamiliar faces, Emery doesn't expect to find peace. She doesn't expect kindness. And she definitely doesn't expect him-her godmother's quiet, brooding son who sees past the walls she's built. The one who finds her when she's breaking. The one who stays. As secrets rise from the ashes and pain threatens to consume them both, Emery must decide if love can truly survive the burn-or if some fires are meant to destroy everything in their path.Concluida

Milk Honey & Her
▪️COSY ROMANCE▪️ "Some things can't wait indeed..." Elias leaned just slightly closer. "But maybe some moments are worth bad timing," he murmured, his tone carrying a weight that made her chest tighten. "What do you mean?" Cora stifled a whimper. He let out a quiet breath, eyes still on hers as his hand fell to his side, "This moment. Us. It'll find its time." **** When Cora Whitmore leaves behind a high-stress publishing job and a broken engagement, all she wants is stillness. Inheriting her late aunt's ramshackle countryside cottage seems like a sign; from whom, she's not sure, but it comes with ivy-covered walls, creaky floors, and a garden overrun with wild things. Just across the fence lives Elias Tidley, a reclusive goat keeper who spends his days making goat milk soap, honeyed cheeses and speaking mostly to animals. Stoic, grounded, and unreadable, he's everything Cora isn't, and yet somehow, he sees her. Not the version she tried to be in the city, but who she is now: messy, uncertain, and just beginning to bloom again. With help from a few mischievous goats and a community that quietly welcomes her in, Cora starts to imagine a life made of early peaceful mornings, soft-spoken companionship, and small, steady joys. But as the seasons shift and their bond deepens, Cora must decide whether she's brave enough to stay. For the land, for herself and for the man who never asked her to change a single thing.? 🔅Rated PG: Suitable for all ages. ------------------------------------------------- Cover Photo: Edited by @KimberlyTanithMarie using an image from Canva © All rights reserved 2025 I DO NOT consent to my story being translated, copied or otherwise reproduced by anyone.Concluida
