UNTIL THE ALL CLEAR| ✓
A storm traps two people who never meant to care.
Preston Hale was supposed to leave without saying goodbye.
Anessa Spears was never supposed to matter this much.
When a city-wide lockdown forces them into the same apartment, annoyance turns into tension, silence turns into truth, and everything they've been avoiding comes to the surface.
Sometimes the scariest thing isn't being stuck together.
It's realizing you don't want to leave.

Ruined us
Part one Twelve years ago, Sonya met Eric Reyes in a bar in Paris and fell recklessly in love. Almost eight months later, they were married. Nine months after that, the marriage collapsed under Eric's constant disappearances and Sonya's heartbreak. She left believing he simply didn't want her. She didn't know he was a mafia boss. Now, years later, Sonya is kidnapped by a rival crew and used as bait. When Eric walks into the warehouse to retrieve her-cold, controlled, acting as if her near-death was an inconvenience-her world shatters all over again. He takes her back to his estate for "protection," refusing to let her out of his sight. With danger closing in, they're forced back into each other's lives, trapped together with a past neither of them escaped. Old wounds. Unfinished desire. A love that never fully died. Will being stuck together finally pull Sonya and Eric back to each other... or ruin them for good?
Between Floors
After escaping a five-year relationship that slowly turned toxic behind closed doors, she's focused on work, healing, and pretending she's okay long enough to eventually believe it herself. The last thing she needs is distraction-especially not one wrapped in old money, sharp suits, tattoos, and a dangerous smile. Kai Valentine has spent years running from the world his powerful family built. While the tabloids painted him as reckless and impossible to control, Kai disappeared across countries chasing freedom from the pressure, expectations, and cold perfection attached to the Valentine name. Then Zuri becomes his newest luxury relocation consultant. What starts as mutual irritation quickly turns into something far more intense when their undeniable attraction begins cutting through every wall they've carefully built around themselves. Because beneath Kai's arrogance is a man carrying more anger, loneliness, and pressure than anyone realizes. And beneath Zuri's beauty and professionalism is a woman still learning how to trust herself again after love nearly destroyed her confidence. Some people fall in love softly. Zuri and Kai were never going to be those people.

What Stays
Danielle Harrison knows when a child is asking for help, even when they do it quietly. So when eight-year-old Willa Hayes starts shutting down in class, writing stories about leaving, and finally gets into a fight that forces the school's hand, Danielle expects a difficult meeting with another checked-out adult. She does not expect Elliot Calloway. Thirty-four, sharp-suited, and impossible to ignore, Elliot is Willa's wealthy uncle and legal guardian, a corporate attorney who stepped in without hesitation when nobody else would. He gives Willa everything money can buy. Danielle sees immediately what's still missing. They clash from the start. Danielle thinks he's emotionally absent. Elliot thinks she's beautiful, correct, and entirely too involved. But as Willa's hurt deepens and the lines between school meetings and late-night conversations begin to blur, Danielle and Elliot find themselves pulled into something far more dangerous than attraction. Because for Willa, love has always meant somebody eventually leaves. And for the first time, Danielle and Elliot are going to have to decide whether they're brave enough to stay.

Journey never planned on falling in love, and Emilio never planned on slowing down. What begins as quiet coffee visits turns into something deeper. Intentional. Devastatingly real. For the Long Way is a slow-burn romance about choosing each other, building a life between two worlds, and learning that the most powerful love is the one that waits, stays, and commits fully.Complete

Tolerated chaos
Vance does not love. He does not ache. He does not long. He does not feel the way mortals ruin themselves over feeling. He is ancient. He is controlled. He is a vampire who has carved the weakness of love out of himself centuries ago. And then there's Moneé. Soft where he is sharp. Devoted where he is distant. She loves him with a kind of reckless, breathless intensity that should terrify her - but doesn't. Vance pushes her away. Again. And again. And again. But something else refuses to. The shadows that follow him do not obey. They curl around Moneé's wrists when she tries to leave. They whisper truths Vance will not speak. They pull her back into the dark every time he tries to set her free. Because while Vance cannot love... His shadows can. And they are tired of letting her go.Complete
