*Idea from me, written by ChatGPT*
Emma likes her job, her quiet routines, and the safe walls she's built around her heart. But when Adam arrives the lines she's drawn begin to blur in ways she never saw coming.
The more they try to keep their distance, the closer they find themselves pulled together by small kindnesses, fleeting glances, and late nights that should mean nothing at all.
In a world of polite smiles and professional boundaries, Emma must decide how long she can pretend not to care - and whether the cost of wanting something she can't have is worth the quiet ache that comes with it.
A slow-burn office romance about stolen moments, impossible timing, and the messy beauty of falling for the wrong person at the wrong time.

Confidential
She was the quiet intern with big dreams and tired eyes. He was the unreachable senior with sharp stares and a voice that could make anyone pause. Their worlds collided in between deadlines, team meetings, and elevator silences. No one knew about the late-night calls, the coffee breaks that lasted too long, or the way he whispered "good girl" like it meant something more. In a company bound by rules and appearances, they were each other's secret-hidden behind locked phone screens and undone shirt buttons. But secrets have a way of surfacing. And love has a way of demanding more than silence. It was never just work. Not when the person you want is sitting across the desk.

But when tension turns into temptation, and playful banter slips into something deeper, their unscripted connection begins writing its own story-one neither of them saw coming. In a world of expectations, power plays, and emotional scars, can they find love in the chaos... or are they just lines in a book never meant to be written?Complete
Simply Mates
"It's not that I don't want you," I tell him softly as I wring my hands together. "Because I do, it's just complicated." "It's not complicated." He states, his voice hard and cold. "We're simply mates. There's nothing complicated about it." My heart flutters at his words, before sinking further into my chest and my skin buzzes with pleasurable electricity, before dulling into a a slight tickle. He's right, but he's wrong and he knows this. "It's not that simple." His head snaps towards me. His eyes darken and widen as his wolf pushes forward. His teeth begin to sharpen into fangs and his nails lengthen into claws. He's shifting. "Are you rejecting me, love?" He questions darkly. ~~~~~~~~~~~ This features characters from my other story "I Won't Give In". Although this is a stand alone book, there will be some spoilers of "I Won't Give In" and it is recommended to read "I Won't Give In" first. :)Complete
A Kind Of Captivating love!
Sam, a 29-year-old software developer, is used to solving logic problems, not love. But a late-night drink, a friend's emotional breakdown, and one quiet visit to a coffee shop change everything. That's where she meets AJ-a calm, guarded man who owns the place. He's respectful, charming, and completely unavailable... emotionally. But what happens when the heart wants something it knows it can't have? This is a slow-burning, emotionally honest story of modern love, vulnerability, and the quiet kind of bond that lingers-long after the coffee's cold.
In Between Us
We're not together. But we're not just friends either. Late-night messages. Almost-kisses. Unspoken feelings hidden behind casual conversations and coffee shop meetups. They never defined what they were-because definitions meant boundaries, and boundaries meant limitations. So they kept it simple. No labels. No promises. Just a connection that felt too real to be nothing... and too fragile to be something. But when emotions get too loud to ignore, and hearts begin to want more-what happens in between us can either bring them closer, or tear them apart. A modern love story about almost, uncertainties, and the kind of heartbreak you can't name.Complete
Beneath the Badges
She's 24, bold, too curious for her own good. He's 44, her boss - quiet, controlled, all sharp edges and worn leather. When Anna takes a new job as assistant to the Sheriff in a small Montana town, she doesn't expect the man behind the badge to rattle her entire sense of self. Beau Arlen is everything she shouldn't want - older, guarded, and way too good at pretending he doesn't notice her fire. But between late-night shifts, unspoken glances, and accidental touches that linger too long, something starts to burn. And neither of them knows how to put it out. This is not a fairytale. This is two broken people trying not to fall. But some lines were made to be crossed.
