That October in 1998 four peoples lives changed forever. A famous actor with a dark past, a U.S. Marshal with an even darker present and the little girl that is under her protection from a ruthless drug lord. One small town. Juniper. The last place any of them thought their paths would collide. A celebrity in Juniper could serve to unknowingly put Iyana and Kyra in the lens of a camera should the paparazzi get word of where the famous Rowan August ran to. And that could put them all in the crosshairs of the man hired to find and possibly kill Kyra before she can testify against her father for the murder of her mother. Why did Rowan return to the one place he so desperately ran away from all those years ago? How is Isaac Wolfe so dangerous that Iyana and Kyra have to hide in the one place he would never think to look? The one place Iyana is sure his scope of influence would never want to or think to reach.
His only blind spot, his hometown.

Obsess, Quiet, Ache.
He was quiet. She was loud. And neither of them knew how to survive the ache. In their final year of university, Rowan Park is a study in silence-meticulous, obsessive, and desperately trying to stay in control. But when Juniper Reyes stumbles back into his life, loud and unbothered and tattooed like temptation, everything cracks. They were never friends. Not really. Mutual friends. Mutual glances. Mutual curiosity. Now they're locked in a slow-burn that's not just tension-it's torment. She's chaos wrapped in glitter. He's stillness built to break. And the ache between them? It's sick. It's filthy. It's unavoidable. What starts as a game of restraint becomes an obsession neither of them can quiet-until all that's left is how they ruin each other... softly, loudly, and deliciously. One bed. No rules. All ache. This isn't a love story. This is what happens when silence finds its noise-and decides it wants to fuck it.Hoàn thành
Wolf Bound
[UNEDITED VERSION] Genesis Anderson knew fairy tales with happy endings didn't exist but that never made her feel indifferent about them. That is, until the night she sees a beast for herself.

She soon learns she's been accused of a murder, and the victim? The former Alpha. Locked away by the brother of the man she supposedly killed, Genesis realizes she must fight to prove her innocence, and navigate her new life in a pack that's already rejected her, if she ever wants to make it out alive. But even as the line between enemies and foes, as well as hate and love begins to blur, a looming darkness threatens to destroy all of wolf kind and mankind. And even in this make-believe fairy tale, Genesis learns happy endings still aren't given nor promised. ✨Werewolf Week - featured 10/26/20✨ ✨From Our Stars - featured 2/9/21✨Hoàn thành

The Silver Locket
Some things are buried in silence. Others are just waiting to be found. When Jack "Jace" Turner left behind his past as gay adult film star Steele Turner, he wasn't chasing fame-he was running from it. Serenity Creek offered quiet streets, ivy-covered cottages, and the promise of anonymity. A place to disappear. A place to begin again. But when a weathered silver locket is unearthed in a neighbour's garden, Jace finds himself pulled into a century-old mystery-one that whispers of forbidden love, buried secrets, and a treasure lost to time. With the help of a sharp-eyed librarian, a young journalist with a nose for trouble, and Bran Cooper-the rugged gym owner who might be more than just a partner in sleuthing-Jace sets out to uncover the truth behind Amelia Davenport and Thomas Whitmore, lovers torn apart by scandal and silence. What begins as curiosity becomes something far more dangerous. Someone else is searching for the treasure. And they'll stop at nothing to claim it. In a town where the past lingers like mist on the river, Jace must confront old ghosts, unearth hidden histories-and decide if he's ready to let someone into his heart again. Small town. Long-buried love. One man's quiet new life is about to get very loud.Hoàn thành

DESIRE AFTER THE RAIN
Two hearts that never sought love somehow found themselves in its crossfire. Desire had always been hungry not for a hand to hold, not for whispered promises, but for success that would make her name matter. Every choice she made, every risk she took, was fueled by that relentless fire burning inside her. Love was a luxury she couldn't afford. Rowan, meanwhile, lived tethered to a ghost. His heart belonged to someone who had walked out of his life but never left his memory. He wasn't looking for another; he was only surviving, counting the days in quiet solitude, haunted by what once was. And then Desire appeared a spark he didn't expect, a force he didn't know he needed. They collided, brushed against each other's edges, and for a moment, it seemed like something could bloom. But they both knew better. Desire could not pause for love, and Rowan could not unchain his past. while Rowan thought he had lost Desire to ambition, and Desire believed Rowan was lost to memory, neither realized that in their fleeting connection, they had already changed each other. Desire's fire had awakened a part of Rowan he thought was buried forever, and Rowan's quiet depth had given Desire a glimpse of something more than hunger. Did Desire ever find a reason to love, or was success always enough to fill the emptiness inside her? Did Rowan finally let go of the ghost of his past, or did it follow him quietly, like a shadow he could never shake?
