The Wrong Kind of Love
Some loves are whispered. Some are hidden. Some can tear a family apart. Maya never meant for it to happen. She was supposed to be Ellie's best friend-the constant, the confidante, the one person Ellie could always trust. But then there was Leo: strong, steady, scarred by loss. A man who should have been untouchable. One glance too long. One laugh that lingered. One moment too close-and the boundaries they swore to protect began to crack. Now, every lie feels heavier. Every silence burns hotter. And as desire grows in the shadows, so does the risk: of betrayal, of heartbreak, of losing everything they thought was unshakable. What begins as a spark becomes a storm. And when the truth finally breaks through, love may not be enough to save them.
Blossom
A scandal. A stranger. A slow-burn game neither of them is ready to lose. Sienna Parker built a life out of being perfect. Picture-perfect, camera-perfect, brand-perfect. But after her glamorous engagement implodes in the most public way imaginable, she escapes to the English countryside to lick her wounds alone. At least, that was the plan. What she finds instead is Julian Livingston: a modern-day Duke with old-money manners, devastating restraint, and a stare sharp enough to see straight through her curated world. He's infuriatingly unreadable. Ridiculously attractive. And absolutely not part of her recovery plan. But when two people who refuse to be vulnerable keep circling the same emotional battlefield, tension becomes its own kind of intimacy. With every encounter, the line between sparring and seduction begins to blur. Behind the barbed words and stolen glances, something deeper brews, something neither of them is ready for. She's all chaos and deflection. He's all composure. Together, they're a slow unravel waiting to happen. If you love emotionally charged banter, aching tension, and two fiercely guarded hearts trying not to fall, Bloom will consume you. ***Content Warning*** This story contains mature themes including sexual content, emotional manipulation, morally complex relationships, cheating, and adult language.

Scared to Love you
Stella Kiefling thought her life was ordinary enough to survive quietly. A wife trying to hold together a marriage already cracking at the edges, a mother carrying exhaustion behind polite smiles, a woman swallowing disappointment until it settled too deep inside her chest. The days blurred between unpaid emotions, responsibilities, and the kind of loneliness that could still exist beside another person in the same bed. Then everything began shifting all at once. The betrayal she tried not to see. The humiliation that kept returning in different forms. The fragile independence she slowly reached for with trembling hands. One step outside the ruins of her marriage led her into a world far louder than her own, filled with wealth, attention, and people carrying influence powerful enough to overturn her quiet life completely. And somehow, Stella became trapped between three men. One was the husband she thought she knew, yet still lingered inside her heart like an unfinished wound refusing to close. The second came with quiet restraint, offering concern that slowly blurred into something more dangerous. The last entered her life like a storm, overwhelming, intrusive, impossible to ignore no matter how hard she tried to push him away. Each of them carried their own way of reaching for her. Attention. Protection. Possession. Regret. And Stella, already exhausted from surviving her collapsing marriage, found herself dragged deeper into emotions she no longer trusted. Because the more she tried to steady her life, the more everything around her tightened, jealousy, desire, public scrutiny, buried secrets, and the painful question of whether love had ever truly existed in the first place. In the middle of it all, Stella could only keep moving forward, even when every choice seemed capable of ruining her all over again.

Ezra will, quite literally, be the death of him. *** Ezra and Silas have been inseparable their entire lives, for better or worse.

After eighteen years of proximity, distance finally exposes the rot. But even then, neither of them can let go. *** A study in codependency with a touch of romance, and no happy ending in sight. CW: graphic violence, blood/gore, harsh depiction of mental illness, sex & strong language

Falling for the Sound of You
This book is definitely special a lot of the moment of this book has came from dreams. Put into reality. Sienna never meant to follow a stranger off the bus that night. She had no destination-just a restless heart and an impulse she couldn't explain. But the moment she locked eyes with him, something pulled her in. And when she lost him in the city's maze of streets, she found herself caught in an entirely different story-one of hardship, resilience, and an unexpected bond with a struggling mother living on the edge of survival. Lucian Moreau is a man who keeps his past locked behind the chords of his music. A professor by day and an artist by night, he's spent years avoiding attachments, letting the rhythm of his world move without interruption. But when a chance encounter with a woman on a late-night bus unsettles something deep inside him, he can't shake the feeling that she was meant to cross his path. As Sienna and Lucian's lives begin to intertwine, their connection becomes impossible to ignore. But love is never simple-not when past wounds linger, when trauma haunts the edges of every moment, and when the music between them is both beautiful and painfully raw. In a city filled with lost souls and unspoken dreams, two hearts find themselves drawn to each other by a force neither of them understands. But some melodies are meant to be heard, and some love stories are written in the spaces between the notes. A deeply emotional romance about healing, trauma, and the kind of love that refuses to let go.Complete
TWO SOULS
In the vast, indifferent expanse of the universe, two souls drift-lost, searching, incomplete. Though separated by silence and space, they remain tethered by a single heart-a heart that once pulsed with unshakable love, searing regret, quiet joy, and unspeakable pain. A heart that has known hope and fear in equal measure. A heart that has been shattered, its pieces hidden behind walls of stone and silence, guarded by the ruins of betrayal and time. These souls, kindred yet distant, yearn to find their way back-not just to each other, but to the heart that binds them. But the path is treacherous. Shadows of a long-buried conspiracy rise again, threatening to erase their very essence and scatter them further into the cosmic dark. Will their longing be strong enough to break through the walls that pain has built? Will the heart dare to open once more? Or will fate, cruel and calculating, let them vanish once again-two souls forever lost, just out of reach?

Behind those eyes
Damian Cole has one rule before he can inherit his father's empire: he must get married. Love isn't required. Attachment is unnecessary. This is business nothing more. So when he signs a contract marriage with Sophia Hale, a quiet, controlled woman he barely knows, Damian makes one thing clear: she will never have his heart. His heart is still buried with the girl he lost years ago... The girl who disappeared without a trace. What he doesn't know is that Sophia is that girl. A devastating accident stole everything from her her face, her name, her memories. By the time she rebuilt her life, the boy she loved had become a man who feels nothing but ice. Now she sleeps beside the man she once promised forever, while he looks at her like a stranger. But secrets don't stay buried. Not when corporate enemies are circling. Not when someone is determined to destroy Damian and the mysterious wife he now depends on more than he'll admit. Not when her truth threatens to break both of them. Behind the face he doesn't recognize... is the love he's been grieving for years. And when he discovers it, nothing will ever be the same.
Touched By Trouble.
In a city where love gets you killed, he chose her anyway. Silas rules the South Bronx-feared, untouchable, and built from pain. No one crosses him. No one gets close. That is, until Leilani. She's soft where he's sharp. Quiet where he's loud. Light in the middle of everything he's tried to bury. She wasn't supposed to matter. But when the streets pull her into the dark, Silas finds himself breaking his own rules to keep her close. They say he don't save nobody. But for her? He just might start a war. A short story about loyalty, trauma, survival, and a love that defies the city it was born in.
