Tamia never believed in soul-level connections,until she met Valen.
A quiet early-morning encounter at the airport sparks something neither of them can ignore. Late-night calls, weekend visits, and stolen moments with his daughter Zara make her feel seen in ways she never thought possible.
But love isn't always enough. Hidden messages, past relationships, and the arrival of someone new force Tamia to confront the truth: some people are meant to teach us, not stay forever.
Almost Him is a slow-burn, emotional journey about love, betrayal, self-discovery, and finding the courage to choose yourself,no matter how deep the connection runs.

Almost Something
Almost Something is a tender, bittersweet coming-of-age story about friendship, first love, and everything that falls in between. Quiet and observant Olive has always found comfort behind the pages of a book - and behind James, the effortlessly charming boy who made her feel seen. What started as shared snacks and inside jokes slowly became something unspoken, almost tangible - almost something. Through school days, camping trips, late-night laughter, and distant stares across crowded rooms, Olive and James walk the line between what is and what could've been. But timing isn't always kind. And sometimes, the people we feel the most for are the ones we never truly get to call ours. Almost Something is a story about moments that almost mattered, the love we're too scared to name, and the quiet hope that maybe - just maybe - it still meant everything.Complete
The Guy I Could Never Have
Some people arrive quietly. No fireworks. No background music. Just a look. A name. A violet shirt in a white room. You don't realize it's the start. Not until you're too far in. I didn't fall for him the way stories say you should. There was no moment of knowing. Just a slow ache that built between library tables and half-finished coffee cups. The kind of love that feels like a question no one teaches you how to ask. We were never official. Never obvious. We were playlists. Eye contact. A sentence that almost sounded like confession-until it didn't. And somewhere in that space between almost and never, I became someone I didn't recognize. Someone quieter. Smaller. And then... someone who walked away. This is not a story about the guy I ended up with. This is about the one I couldn't have. The one who arrived too late. The one who taught me that not all love stories need a happy ending- Some just need a girl who finally chooses herself. And this time, I did.Complete
Dating on Paper
Fake dating was supposed to be simple, temporary... just on paper. ────୨ৎ──── Aria never planned on pretending to be in love-especially not with Christian Fell. He's sarcastic, emotionally closed-off, and way too good at pretending he doesn't care. She's cautious, soft-hearted, and already carrying enough feelings she refuses to unpack. The deal was clear: - Two months. - Public affection. - No real feelings. Easy, right? Except rumors spread faster than truth, exes don't stay in the past, and lines blur when fake kisses start feeling a little too real. When Aria finds herself caught between friendships breaking, secrets unraveling, and a contract that's about to expire, she has to face the one thing she's been avoiding. What happens when pretending isn't pretending anymore? Dating on Paper is a slow-burn, high school romance filled with messy emotions, fake dating gone wrong, jealousy, parties that end badly, and two people who keep lying to themselves for way too long. Because some love stories start with feelings. And some start with a signature.
