A woman running from heartbreak. A little girl waiting to be found. One night that changes everything.
Tess Harper's life has grown small - just her, her writing, and the ache of what used to be.
Then, in the middle of the night, she hears it: a cry. Faint, frightened... Impossible to ignore.
What she finds that night - a tiny girl clutching a worn stuffed bunny, whispering into the dark - will break her heart wide open.
Maddie doesn't talk about what happened before, but her bruises tell enough of the story. And Tess, who swore she had nothing left to give, will risk everything to keep her safe.
In a world of broken things, Tess learns that real love doesn't always come from where you expect it to. Sometimes, it's found in the smallest hands, and in every little heartbeat beside your own.

Sincerely, Lillian
Lillian never made it to her first date with Elijah. Instead, she woke up trapped in a cell in a dark and dirty basement. Her captor is ruthless, his hands stained with blood, yet there's something in his eyes-something that makes her question everything, even her own fear. Elijah refuses to give up. Wracked with guilt, he hunts for Lillian, uncovering secrets she never meant to reveal. But time is slipping away, and so is she. Torn between the man who wants to save her and the monster who might love her, Lillian must make an impossible choice. Escape or surrender? Hate or desire? Life or death? One question remains: if she gets free... will she even want to leave? Copyright © 2025 by Tessa Elizabeth All rights reserved.

Rascals
A story of a runaway heartbeat and the found family it dragged along. They move from place to place-half-lost, half-chosen-chasing quiet, hiding from the noise. It started with one girl trying to outrun the truth her family fed her, and grew into a mismatched group of escapees: her best friend, a boyfriend, two internet ghosts, and later, the ones who took the place of those who left. But people don't always stay. Sometimes they leave with a note. Sometimes they don't say anything at all. And sometimes... they come back. What happens when someone you loved left you for what they thought was your good-only to return when the damage's been done? What happens when grief makes room for someone new? And how do you know when the road you're running is finally home? --- Content Warning: •Themes of death, grief, abandonment •Found family & trauma bonding •Emotional and psychological triggers •Intimate/suggestive scenes (light smut)Lengkap

With a bit of convincing - and the worst beating she'd ever received - Jessie agrees to move into an apartment with Kolleen. But not long after, Jessie is scared the worst of her nightmares will soon become a reality. Josh goes missing, and suddenly Jessie would swear she's being followed. One night changes everything, and one person soon changes Jessie's outlook. A responding officer from that fateful night begins to seek her out, at first claiming it's part of his job. As she spends time with her new friend outside of his job, she starts realizing that her feelings are evolving. After being abused for over a year, Jessie is terrified she's falling in love. What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet. She makes up her mind that if he is falling, and if he does love her, he'll wait for her to be ready, and if she loves him, she won't let herself hurt him. Can the words that used to cage her in really be the key to her freedom? --- Featured On: @NA: Take a seat and let it be | Mature Content and 18+ reading list @NA: You deserve the world | Mental Health reading list Ambys Top Picks New Adult 2023Lengkap
OBSESSION. too personal
This could have been a gentle story for quiet autumn evenings. But it shattered against Morphine - a chapter that will not let you stay indifferent. And now, you'll understand why. This is not a story about perfect love. It's about healing through pain, about love that blooms after trauma, and about the fragile line between salvation and obsession. She is a woman rebuilding herself from the ashes. Not strong - simply real. A mother. A fighter. A writer whose words cut deeper than truth itself. She doesn't want to be someone's muse - she only wants to be understood. He is the man the world worships... and fears. A legend. A symbol of an era. But behind the fame, there's a man haunted by his own darkness. Together, they are fire and gasoline - two broken souls learning how to love without losing themselves. Their story isn't a fairytale. It's an age-gap dark romance about redemption, grief, and the courage to love again. With touch. With words. With silence between the lines.Lengkap
Safe in Red Book 2
A found family, a healing heart, and the soft strength of love. After everything Natasha Romanoff has been through, she never expected her next mission to be motherhood. With Lena-a tender-hearted teen with a complicated past-now nestled into her life, Nat is learning that comfort doesn't come from control, but from quiet, ordinary moments: a shared laugh, a late-night story, the weight of a sleepy head on her shoulder. When Yelena unexpectedly walks back into Nat's world, the reunion of sisters brings old memories, unresolved wounds, and a second chance to make things right. As Yelena bonds with Lena, a new kind of family begins to take shape-one built on patience, laughter, and fierce, unconditional love. But even in the peace they've created, shadows linger. Lena battles self-doubt and the fear of being too much. Nat faces the ache of choices made and paths left behind. And Yelena, bold and brash as ever, discovers just how deep love can run. Safe in Red Book 2 is a tender, character-driven story of healing, chosen family, and the magic in everyday love. With heartwarming moments, gentle humor, and emotional growth, this second installment brings comfort and depth to a trio learning how to be whole-together.Lengkap
Yours, still.
They weren't supposed to meet like this- on a swing, in a park, between coffee jitters and emotional damage. She wore a hoodie. He wore a smile that forgot things. And somewhere between the jokes, the near-death rescue, and the carved arrow... their story started telling itself again. Not everything was clear. Not every memory returned. But hearts? They tend to recognize each other- even when the brain hasn't caught up yet. And if an arrow appears- carved in wood, buried in stone- you follow it. Even if it leads straight back into the chaos.
