He is brilliance honed into steel.
She is warmth buried beneath doubt.
Celina Le has never believed she's enough. Not smart enough. Not gifted enough. Everywhere she turns, others seem to shine with an effortless brilliance she can't touch. Her life is already unraveling: a career on the brink of collapse, a book that refuses to become something worth loving.
She doesn't belong in a world of billionaires and power. Her only connection is Gigi O'Hara, her best friend and for Gigi, Celina would do anything.
Including facing her brother.
Connor O'Hara. Thirty-two. Billionaire venture capitalist. Cold, controlled, untouchable. A man who protects his name and his sister with ruthless precision.
And he despises Celina.
He never lies. He never forgives. And he is certain she lied.
Yet when they're forced into proximity, something dangerous begins to stir. Every glance lingers. Every silence hums with tension. Resentment turns to hunger. Hatred sharpens into desire.
When secrets tangles and old wounds bleed back into the present, will they risk trust-or retreat before love ever has a chance to survive?

Every page pulls her deeper, every twist makes her question who's really writing the story-her, or something else entirely. And somewhere between fiction and reality, she'll have to decide... does she want to escape this world? Or rewrite it forever? [New chapter: Every week on Monday.]

They Don't Have to Burn the Books
45 minutes was all that they had, just that amount of time to save everything. 45 minutes that will shape Simone Zhang's entire life. She grows up in a world of chaos, fires destroying cities, the world's power grid half-melted, strange bubbles of energy driving people to madness. Even worse than all the noise is the silence. No cars on the road. No birds in the sky. Not even her cat begging for food. And just as the world changes, so does she. Growing harder, and smarter, if only to protect her brother. Even as the world rebuilt itself it only became more dangerous, more and more side-effects of the incident known as The Wave. People with random psychic gifts, and a fascist government with all the answers. What rises from the fire is not always whole, not always right. So stay vigilant, and remember: Beware of Birds.

Travels With Brian
Nearly arrested several times, often lost (sometimes on purpose), and dealing with unconscious travellers, lost luggage, delayed connections and even a lorry load of spilled toilet rolls, travelling has given me a plethora of experiences. Combine that with a slightly neurodiverse approach to life in general, a dyslexic understanding of signage and whatever else life seems to throw at me I don't think I've ever had a dull trip. But one wonderful constant is people. There's usually someone around who will help the occasionally lost and confused, and I thank all of them for helping navigate me through many different countries and trips. Now, where was I? Ah yes. Slightly lost...Complete
