Avery Cole and Tom Rivers run a café-bookshop on the West Coast-until a last wish forces their hand: marry within thirty days or lose everything. Six months of "proving it" under one roof turns routines into sparks and safety into risk. Between blue shutters, late-night bakes, and a town that's always watching, a paper marriage starts to feel real - if they're brave enough to name it.

The Show Must Go On
*WATTYS 2024 SHORTLISTED* Ellie did the 'True Love' thing and it left her heartbroken. Now her dreams are smaller: win a BAFTA, convince her mother she's okay, and don't kill her infuriating colleague Nas. And definitely don't kiss him. 'I am suddenly aware of his hand on my waist. Has he always been this tall? Has he always smelled of smoke and cloves and warmth? My brain is collapsing. All it can think is NAS IS TOUCHING ME. His lips are coming down... Or mine are coming up... Does he want to kiss me? Even worse, do I want him to?'

Medium Latte for Ell-yot Hayul
[Slow Brew Series 1 of 2] [Completed] Look, I didn't mean to embarrass myself the first time I walked into Brewing Grounds. Or the second. Or...every other time since. But something about the place-and the barista with the messy ponytail and the glasses that she pushes up her nose-makes me forget how to form actual sentences. Bea. Her name's Bea. She spelled mine wrong on my cup the first day (Ell-yot Hayul), and now I'm kind of obsessed. Not with her. With medium lattes. With her handwriting. With the little hearts she scribbles on my cups. Okay... maybe a little bit with her. The point is: I'm a walking disaster around her, and I'm pretty sure she knows it. And okay, maybe I started showing up every morning at exactly 7:30 just to see her. And maybe I've been reading up on how to flirt because I thought that might help (it hasn't). But honestly, what's the worst that could happen? I embarrass myself again? (Already done that.) Spill coffee on my tie? (Happened last week.) Accidentally fall in love with the barista who writes flirty notes on my coffee cups? Oh, wait...

The Ascent Between
Kiara Steele, a twenty-four-year-old girl, never dreamed her wedding would be sealed with silence instead of love. At twenty-four, she finds herself married to Samuel Stone, an aloof billionaire CEO, eighteen years her senior, a widower with no children, only to save her father's collapsing company. Their union is nothing more than a contract: no touch, no feelings, no expectations. But living under the same roof with a man carved from ice proves far more complicated than Kiara imagined. Samuel keeps his distance, haunted by the loss of his late wife, while Kiara struggles against the loneliness of a loveless home. For six months, they live as strangers bound by vows neither of them wanted. Until one unexpected night breaks every rule. In a story of sacrifice, secrets, and the forbidden emotions, Kiara and Samuel must decide: Will their marriage remain platonic or will fate turn it into something dangerously real? #1st in Developments (13/11/2025) 💖🔥 out of 19.7K stories #1st in Wholesome (14/11/2025) ❤️ out of 15.4K stories #1st in Aloof (17/12/2025) #2nd in Ageisjustanumber (14/11/2025) out of 1.44K stories Hello, dear readers! Before you begin The Ascent Between, I would like to share a short disclaimer. I have made this story up out of my own imagination. The similarity to real people, real events, and other writings of literature must be coincidental. Chances are that you try to notice a connection between them, but I would like to assure you that it is accidental. The plot, characters, and scenes are my original works. I'm requesting the readers to appreciate the effort and imagination invested in my work. Any form of copying, reproduction, or stealing of anything in this story is at all costs forbidden. Plagiarism not only antagonises the author but also undercuts the entire storytelling community. Thank you for helping with originality to make this space friendly to writers and readers.

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?Completa
