In the gray hush of Belgium, a young American student named Azzariah crosses paths with Marvin Gaye - a man exiled from fame, haunted by God, and searching for peace in a foreign land. Their meeting feels accidental, but nothing about the way he looks at her is by chance. She becomes the quiet he's been chasing, the tenderness he thought he'd lost.
But as spring turns to summer, the music in him begins to change - darker, deeper - and so does the way he loves her.
By the time Sexual Healing is born, Azzariah can't tell if she's his muse... or his confession.

My Quiet Heart Could Breathe:Before the silence
He came to this town with nothing but a name and the echo of people he can't bring back. Grief doesn't knock-it settles in. And when it did, it left him quiet. Numb. Watching the world go on like nothing cracked beneath his skin. Then came Tyler. Loud, chaotic, bright. The kind of person who doesn't ask permission to exist. The kind of person you'd follow without knowing why. He made things feel like maybe they could be okay. But this isn't the kind of story you think it is. It isn't about falling in love. It's about hiding it. About swallowing every word that might give you away. It's about watching someone save your life without knowing they're doing it. About pretending you're not breaking when you are. This is not a love story. It's the story of silence. Of surviving. Of what it costs to bury who you are, even from the person you need most. It's a confession written in the margins of pain. Read closely. Some truths are only heard when everything else goes quiet.Complete

🧣Tudung Merah, Lemon Candy 🍋
Puteri used to run a quiet matchmaking blog. Then came the man who called it love and left her with silence. After the trial, after the media noise, she retreats - into therapy, into shadows, into the safety of small things: a chipped mug, a tin of lemon candy, and a red scarf that remembers more than she does. She doesn't expect Ilham - a quiet man with calm hands and gentle questions. He doesn't ask for her story. He just stays long enough to witness it unfold. This isn't a story of rescue. It's a story of remembering. That love can arrive slowly. Softly. That it can sound like, "You don't owe me anything - but if you want to build something, I'm here." ✨ A romance about reclaiming voice, surviving silence, and finding warmth in a world that once turned too loud. 🔖 Content Warnings: This story includes themes of emotional trauma, stalking, psychological abuse, and court proceedings. It prioritizes healing, consent, and the slow path to safe intimacy.Complete
Heaven
He's my secret. My deepest temptation. My forbidden desire. And my father's best friend. After spending five months on the road from city to city, blasting the sound of my vintage Mustang with my "outdated music", all I wanted was to return home and figure out what my next step would be. I wasn't really interested in complicating my life any more than it already is. But then I met him. At a roadside bar, as unexpected as it seems, I walked up to him as a joke; a little game. It was like instant death: his deep green eyes, his dark chestnut hair and seductive smile. His kiss. And then he was gone, convincing me it all would become only a good memory at the back of my mind, and I would never see him again. It turns out I couldn't be more wrong. Suddenly, the man who had set my whole body on fire with just a kiss is not only living next door, but is, too, my dad's high school best friend and the father of my first crush from ninth grade. With this secret burning between us, every look is like the most pleasurable of sins; every touch is like a certain damnation. It can never happen. And it only makes me want it more.
Too Close to the Sun
After five grueling years of college, Chiara finally returns to Rome-the city of her childhood, of memories she thought she had outgrown, and of friendships she never thought she'd revisit. What starts as a simple reconnection with old classmates soon stirs emotions she didn't expect to feel again. Among them is a face that has changed the most: Damiano David, no longer just the charismatic schoolboy she once knew, but the magnetic frontman of Måneskin, living a life of fame, music, and chaos. As Chiara tries to rebuild her life in the city that raised her, she's pulled into a whirlwind of late-night conversations, hidden vulnerabilities, and the dangerous thrill of stepping too close to a world that might consume her.Complete
