"Would it all be worth it if she 'saves the world?'"
What would you do if you woke-up one day in an unfamiliar world? What if you kept stumbling - Would you pick yourself back up?
Having already lived a childhood bouncing from home to home in Brooklyn, our reluctant heroine - Amelia La Graine - has her life turned upside down and inside-out when she travels back in time to the era of the American Industrial Revolution (circa 1820). There, she must discover why she was sent back and what she must do to go home.
Will one woman, stuck in the past, change the future of a young and budding country?
The first book in the "Combustion" trilogy weaves a tangled tale of heroism, deceit, danger, and manipulation - all while Amelia tries finding herself in an epoch that was never meant to be hers.

From Adi to Anant
Some souls don't meet for the first time-they remember. Bound by lifetimes, separated by time, Kanha and Achyut find each other again-drawn by rain, dreams, and the quiet ache of something unfinished. Every glance feels remembered. Every silence feels sacred. Every touch carries echoes of lives they once lived, and lives they are yet to live. In a world that keeps changing, their love doesn't. Across centuries and countless reincarnations, fate conspires to bring them together, even when the universe conspires against them. From the bustling streets of modern cities to the quiet lanes of distant pasts, from whispered secrets under moonlight to storms that shake the soul, they chase each other through memories and time, never quite free from the gravity of what binds them. They are the spark in the rain, the calm in the chaos, the unfinished story that refuses to end. Lovers torn apart by circumstance, reunited by destiny-every heartbreak only strengthens the thread that ties them. And even when the world forgets, their souls remember. Because some stories aren't written once-they're lived again and again. From the first breath to the last... From beginning to beyond... From Adi to Anant. Tropes & Themes: Reincarnation / Past Lives Soulmates / Eternal Love Fate and Destiny Unfinished Business / Memories Across Time Slow Burn / Enemies-to-Lovers Love Against All Odds / Timeless Connection
Embers Across the Veil
Bound by Thread and Flame Book One: Embers Across the Veil In a world stitched together by ancient portals and perilous magic, one girl's arrival begins to unravel everything. Misty thought escaping to the Academy would bring answers-about her gift, her mother's secrets, and the threads that whisper in her blood. But magic doesn't mend quietly, and neither do hearts. As Misty grapples with a power she barely understands, she draws the attention of Jacob, a brilliant time scholar obsessed with patterns-and the future. Watching from the shadows is Tabitha, a hybrid advocate with secrets of her own and an uncanny talent for spotting danger before it takes root. All three are drawn together by a portal that should never have opened... and a connection none of them saw coming. And something on the other side is pulling.Lengkap
Bloomer
Set in post-apocalyptic America, a witch orphaned from her deceased family seeks refuge at a whorehouse in order to escape starvation. ***** Ivy Tate has her whole life ahead of her but nothing to live for. The earth has been spewing its guts for years and her clan didn't survive it. The only upside? She's a witch. But contrary to popular opinion, magic can't always save lives. With the threat of a slow, hungry death hanging over her head, she falls into strange company; a band of misfits who have found their own way to survive. Ivy is offered clean clothes, a real bed, and food that doesn't run away. But she quickly realizes the price for luxuries is high, like sell-your-soul high, and she must decide if survival is worth the trade. BLOOMER [Book 1] is an off-the-beaten path tale about a young woman coming of age in a world that is falling apart. Mixing magical realism with speculative fiction and spicing it up with romance, BLOOMER will appeal to readers who like to root for unlikely heroes as they earn their stripes.

Burning Wild
"Jake couldn't stop his eyes from dropping to my body. His gaze lingered on my curves, his face thirsting for something more than the spilled coffee. The way his eyes fumed made me squirm with longing. It was all I could do not to reach out and touch his rippling bicep, to pull him closer to me. I barely knew this man, but the way his face smoldered as he stared at me made me feel sexy for the first time in my life. It ignited a desire in me and awakened a sexual goddess who had been suppressed for a long time. I wasn't a promiscuous woman, but if Jake Lucero had asked me to go home with him at that moment, I would have jumped in his car without question." ____________________________________ Catalina De la Rosa's world is upended when she falls victim to the unpredictable California wildfires. She loses everything in the raging inferno- her home, her invaluable possessions, even a bit of the person she was before the traumatic experience. When Cat meets Jake Lucero, the firefighter who risked everything to save her life, she slowly starts to find herself again. Jake is sullen and brooding, mysterious and closed off, but he stirs something in Cat that she had long ago repressed. Cat is acutely aware of the escalating chemistry forming between them, but she is hesitant to pursue her feelings for fear of losing herself again. Cat soon discovers that Jake is as wild as the fires that forever altered her life. His dark secrets and risqué past threaten to destroy everything she has built. She knows that she should keep her distance, but she can't seem to stay away. Though it is dangerous to play with fire, the smoldering connection between her and Jake keeps Cat coming back for more. Now, her life will never be the same. © Dawn Norwell ___________________________________________ *3rd place winner in the Winter Rose Awards #1 in Young Adult #1 in Starcrossed Lovers #1 in Firefightter #6 in Adult #3 in Powerful Women #3 in Love and LossLengkap
Loving Through The Darkness
He wasn't heartless. Just... unconvinced. Of love. Of women. Of promises that sound too pretty to be true. She wasn't broken. Just quietly aching. To be seen. To be wanted for who she is, not who she's expected to be. He inherited empires. She inherited emptiness. And when fate ties them together, love doesn't enter gently- It cracks the walls, shakes the ground, and demands to be felt. Loving Through Your Darkness Two hearts. One lie. And a love story neither of them believed they deserved.Lengkap![Sweepings of the Street [EXCERPT]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/131272873-256-k213869.jpg)
Sweepings of the Street [EXCERPT]
Twelve-year-old Sarah Lee longs to remain in the golden fields under a starry sky forever, but life has other plans for her. After the bleak spring of 1816 yields meager crops, Sarah's family flees its home in the English countryside to labor at a textile factory in newly industrial London. A factory accident several months later leaves Sarah's father out of work and her family desperate for money. Despite the worries of her older brother Thomas, Sarah disguises herself and ventures into a dangerous new job. Sarah soon learns that life in London is not as simple as it seems. She meets Jamie, a sullen, aggressive boy who helps her adjust to the new conditions. But Jamie has dark secrets of his own, and his reluctance to trust strangers clashes with Sarah's burning curiosity about his past. As the city creeps towards winter, Sarah and her friends stand face-to-face with the horrors of London poverty-rising prices, rampant crime, disease, and hopelessness-and it becomes clear that not everyone will make it out alive. Everyone has a secret, and the consequences can be more devastating than any of them can imagine. "Dark, emotionally gripping, highly researched... very impressive."
