Somewhere with you
"You can run from your past, but sometimes, love finds you exactly where you're trying to start over." After graduating college, Lily Carter leaves Illinois behind - the chaos, the pain, and the father who turned "home" into a place she never wanted to be. Now she's in coastal North Carolina with her mom, a new job at the courthouse, and one rule: no distractions. Then there's Beau Landry - the neighbor next door with quiet eyes and a past that runs just as deep as hers. He's got a protective streak, a rough edge, and a group of friends who make Lily feel something she hasn't felt in years: safe. But safety turns to something else when late nights and long drives blur the lines between healing and falling. He's everything she shouldn't want - and the only one who makes her feel like she finally belongs. When Beau's ex shows up and the past starts knocking, Lily will have to decide if she's ready to stop running - and risk everything for the one person who feels like home. A story about finding peace after the storm, healing through love, and realizing that "somewhere with you" can be the best place in the world.Concluida
Thorns Beneath the Halo
Aeris and Izen were never meant to be simple. Not when their touch burns, their glances linger, and their nights blur between rough truths and quiet tenderness. Nineteen and reckless, Aeris is all sharp smirks, soft lips, and unspoken aches-daring the world to keep up. Izen, silent and steady, is the one person who always does. They don't talk about what they are. They don't need to. From whispered confessions in the dark to stolen moments that leave them breathless, they just are-raw, real, and utterly tangled. Together with Hazel and Brielle, their found-family chaos plays out in between homemade cakes, over-watched dramas, and shared silence. But behind the laughter is heat, tension, and the kind of connection that doesn't fade when the lights go out. This isn't a love story that starts with a kiss. It starts with want. And it just doesn't stop.Concluida

Adrian is shocked by Evelyn's condition-and even more shocked by how deeply her quiet strength stirs something in him. Determined to defy fate, he vows to find a way to save her. But as days pass and hope flickers between surgeries, secrets, and quiet nights, a love neither of them expected begins to bloom. Can love heal what time is trying to steal? Or are some stories meant to end too soon?Concluida
A Surprise Baby in the CEO's Arms
When Elara was ten, her family collapsed and she was quietly folded into Jonas's world as his supposed "little sister." To her, Jonas was more than a guardian; he was first love, the secret she kept beneath her ribs. She watched him move through life with a confidence she could only admire from afar, learning to treasure small mercies as if they were miracles. At twenty, everything broke. One drunken night Jonas kissed her-an impulsive, confusing violation that read like permission and betrayal all at once. By morning his engagement was announced and by midnight he'd arranged for her to leave the country. He cut contact with the kind of finality that felt like erasure. Six years later, Elara returns-not to beg, but to reclaim the life she's built for her daughter, Lila. She has worked hard, learned to be fiercely self-reliant, and guarded the truth about Lila's father. Running into Jonas at the company where fate plants them both detonates the fragile order they each maintain. He sees the child and demands, stunned and raw, "Give me a plausible explanation-whose child is this?" That question upends them both. For Elara, Lila is survival and dignity. For Jonas, the child is a scandal that could shatter family reputation and the neat certainties he's lived by. This is a slow-burn second-chance romance about motherhood, pride, and whether two people shaped by the same past can find a new future without losing themselves.
