--

Maverick was happy. He had friends. A career and hobbies. A girlfriend. Things were trending up. Until Maya-fucking-Falcon walked through the front door and turned his world upside down once more. She had no right. No right to make him long for what could have been. No right to parade her perfect little kids around his community. No right to make him question every decision he'd ever made. And he'd make sure she knew it. But as the truth of their past comes to light and he uncovers a web of manipulation and lies bigger than them all, Maverick must confront the fact that none of it had ever been about him. That he'd simply been a puppet in the deliberate and tactical destruction of the only woman he'd ever loved. 

--

To Echo a Falcon will follow Maya and Maverick as they reluctantly open the door to their shared history and relearn who they are to one another - with a sprinkle of shenanigans from the kiddos (and maybe even the Ravens).

This story will be an ongoing WIP that will launch on Wattpad, but once the Hive Mind Patreon goes live on 2/14/26, it will be available to read with a FREE membership on the Patreon - where chapters will be released one week ahead of Wattpad.  

This story will explore some heavier themes - including off-page SA, betrayal, and loss of a spouse/parent - so please make sure to review the full TW list when it goes live.

The Terms of Us - EXCERPT by natderouchie
6 parts Ongoing Mature
Note: This is an exclusive preview. The full novel releases February 24 and will be available on Amazon and in Kindle Unlimited. Julian North doesn't believe in love. He believes in leverage. When family pressure threatens his carefully controlled life, he drafts the simplest solution possible-a marriage of convenience. Clean. Negotiated. Emotion-proof. Lucy Bennett agrees for practical reasons. With her mother's fragile health and her family depending on her steadiness, security isn't optional-it's survival. The terms are clear. No emotions required. But somewhere between shared mornings and unguarded moments, the arrangement begins to feel dangerously real. Julian softens. Lucy hopes. And for a moment, it feels like they might be building something neither of them expected. Until three words change everything. When silence replaces intimacy and outside forces threaten the fragile foundation they built, Lucy refuses to beg for what isn't freely offered. She walks. Now Julian must decide whether protecting his heart is worth losing the only woman who ever made him want more. A contemporary billionaire marriage-of-convenience romance featuring emotional slow burn, grumpy/sunshine tension, family interference, and a guaranteed happily ever after.

Yet since she was very young, she has been haunted by the same nightmare: a dragon tearing her from her home. On her eighteenth birthday, that dream begins to take form. Her father tells her she has been betrothed to Aerion Targaryen of House Targaryen, grandson of the King of Westeros, a man feared throughout the realm as Aerion the Monstrous for his cruelty and vile acts. Lyanna begs not to leave Highgarden or be bound to a monster, but her father is unmoved. This marriage, he insists, is her duty. A Tyrell joined to House Targaryen will secure their house's future. As Lyanna is forced toward a fate she dreads, she must face a truth she has feared since childhood: her nightmares were never just dreams-they were a warning.

APRIL, The Odd Ones by GrovelDoll
16 parts Ongoing
April I fight fires for a living-but I've never felt more burned than I did that night. As a forest ranger, I live on the edge of danger and calm. My body is strong, my will even stronger, but that doesn't mean I'm unbreakable. I thought love-real love-would see through the scars I keep hidden beneath my uniform. I thought Ellis saw me. Understood me. But all it took was one careless sentence. One drunken confession echoing through a baby monitor, turning a celebration into a battlefield. He humiliated me in front of everyone-my friends, my chosen sisters, myself. And now I'm standing in the ashes of something I thought would last forever, wondering if I've been lying to myself about what love really looks like. Ellis I was drunk. Stupid. Thoughtless. It was just a conversation. Boys being boys, joking around in a room where I thought no one could hear. But they did. She did. And I said things I can't take back. I don't even recognize the man who said them-because that man humiliated the strongest, most loyal, most incredible woman he's ever known. April is the kind of woman who runs toward danger. Who holds broken branches like they're bones and brings people back from the edge. And I crushed her with words. Now I'd do anything-everything-to take it back. But the damage is done. And I'm not sure I deserve to be the one who tries to fix it.

Rachel's heart broke ten years ago. The man she wanted never saw her. She was never on his radar. So she moved on--or tried to.

And the miserable truth is--the only man who ever did, abandoned her while her world fell apart. Now she's a new mother to her cheating, abusive husband's daughter, surrounded by friends who refuse to let her break... including him. Roy. Leroy. The man she weaved fantasies around since she was thirteen. So when he finally looks at her--really looks at her--and promises the kind of love she once dreamed about, Rachel lets herself fall. Completely. Only to learn she was never going to be his first choice. He had twenty years to hear her. Five months to claim her. And one night was all it took--for him to destroy her instead.
