Liliana "Lily" Hamill is just your average working woman. 5'5" with wavy brown hair the color of milk chocolate and blue eyes, she's never been described by anyone as "a catch." She's pretty enough, what with her athletic frame and well-proportioned face. She rises every day, runs almost every morning, and gets ready for work just like many twenty-something-year-olds in the United States. She's been working mostly in the marketing department at Andino Incorporated since she graduated from a college in Texas at twenty-one, and she's lived in New York City for the past two. She doesn't think she's anyone special. But she is, because Lily has been blind since birth, although her disability has never held her back. That burden has fallen on her insecurities. Now, though, she's attempting to face her fears. Her closest childhood friend, Joseph Montran, has invited her to a company social event, and Lily grudgingly has agreed to go. All she knows is that it's informal, that she and her guide dog, Chelise, can mostly hang out with Joe and his wife, Katherine, if that's what Lily wants, and that she shouldn't be afraid to "act natural." What she doesn't know is that social event will change her life forever. //// I KEEP EDITING AS I'M WRITING.

The Colony of Connecticut in 1773. Christina O'Donovan's beloved older brother was dead. Her father, a veteran of the French and Indian War, was injured and unable to keep up with the family farm. And so she'd reluctantly agreed to a marriage with a miner who worked at the local Simsbury copper mines. His courtship was a business transaction - nothing more. But when Seth somehow slipped and fell, descending a ladder he'd traversed a thousand times before, Christina was drawn into a maze of subterfuge she never could have imagined coming. And at its center stood William Johnson Crawford, a New Hampshire man who would change her life forever. ... Newgate Prison Copper Mines and the The Irish Lass - A 1700s Colonial America Sweet Romance Novella is a historical series set around the real-life copper mines in Simbsbury, Connecticut. In the late 1700s these mines had been run dry. They were then converted into the infamous Newgate Prison, one of the first federal attempts in the new United States to hold and incarcerate dangerous men. These mines were notorious in their own time, spawning delightfully adjective-rich newspaper write-ups as well as terror amongst the Tories who were threatened with a stay. The history and many characters are as authentic as I can make them. William Johnson Crawford is a documented person from this timeframe. You can read these novellas one at a time as I write them, or you can wait until I finish the boxed set and present the complete story. Some readers prefer to read as I go, while others like to wait. It's wholly up to you which you prefer! Contact me with any questions - I'd love to hear your feedback and ideas! And definitely make plans to visit Newgate when you can. It is an absolutely amazing experience, to descend into those historic copper mines and to feel what it was like.

DISCLAIMER: Contains very out of character moments due to the *plot* DISCLAIMER II: Some bits of this story are canon to Season 2, and some are NOT.

Jemimah Obalola thought adulthood would be simple. Graduate. Get a good job. Help her family. Build the life she'd always imagined. Instead, she finds herself drowning in debt, surviving one day at a time, and pretending she's okay while her world quietly falls apart. Then she meets Pastor Tobi. He has a reputation to protect. She has a life she's desperate to rebuild. His proposal sounds simple enough: a carefully planned arrangement that could solve both their problems. No feelings. No complications. Just six months. But some lies have a way of becoming real, and some people have a way of changing you long before you realise you're changing. Still Becoming is a slow-burn contemporary Nigerian romance about faith, survival, healing, family, second chances, and discovering that sometimes becoming the person you're meant to be begins with everything falling apart.

"Le storie sono sempre state così, Calliope. Vengono ricordati quelli che fanno più rumore. È così che va il mondo." Per secoli, Calliope ha vissuto all'ombra di questa certezza. Come Musa della poesia epica, il suo unico compito sul Monte Elicona è sempre stato quello di ispirare i canti gloriosi dei guerrieri, ignorando la scia di sangue e le lacrime dei vinti. Tra l'apatia immortale dell'Olimpo e le rigide geometrie imposte da Apollo, Calliope si sente prigioniera di un canone che celebra solo la distruzione, convinta che nessuno sarà mai abbastanza folle da sfidare le regole degli dèi. Finché, nel silenzio di una notte come tante, una corda vibra nell'etere. È l'invocazione di Lysandros, un aedo itinerante di ventun anni che non chiede la gloria di Achille o il bronzo di Agamennone. Lui vuole dare voce agli invisibili: alle donne rimaste a raccogliere le macerie, ai soldati terrorizzati, ai dimenticati dalla storia. Colpita da una curiosità a cui non sa resistere, Calliope infrange ogni divieto e scende nel regno dei mortali per incontrarlo. Tra passeggiate clandestine in riva al mare e segreti sussurrati a fari spenti, tra la Musa e il cantore nasce una complicità segreta e pericolosa. Ma la verità è un'arma a doppio taglio, e gli dèi non tollerano che un uomo osi guardare dietro il velo del loro potere. Quando l'eco dei canti di Lysandros inizia a far tremare l'Olimpo, Calliope si ritrova davanti a una scelta drammatica. Può una Musa proteggere un mortale senza condannare se stessa all'oblio?

When her family's fortune begins to crumble, the future she imagined with Julian Ashcombe, the young man she loves, becomes impossible. He has dreams, but no fortune; love, but no means to save her from what is coming. Then there is William Ashcombe. A decorated general thirteen years her senior, he offers not rescue, but something far more dangerous: honesty, respect, and the possibility of a life built on choice rather than passion alone. As old loves fade into memory and new ones begin in unexpected places, Eleanor must discover whether a heart can learn to love twice-and whether the right person is always the first one we choose. Because sometimes the greatest romances are not the ones that begin with fireworks. Sometimes they begin with kindness. And sometimes love arrives too early... only for another to stay long enough to heal.

Wren Calloway has a year and a day to save her grandmother's house. She has exactly one terrible idea for how. When a forgotten clause in her town's century-old charter threatens to hand Cormorant House over to a luxury resort developer, Wren has only one path to keep it: prove the house is a real home, shared with another person, for a full year. The catch? She's lived there alone since her grandmother died, and the deadline is closing fast. Enter Asher Reyes: her best friend of six years, and, inconveniently, the architect who designed the very resort trying to take her grandmother's house. He quit the firm in protest months ago. He's the only person she trusts enough to ask. And he says yes before either of them can think too hard about why. It should be simple. Move in. Play house for the county inspectors. Save the house. Stay friends. It is not simple. Because the resort's PR team gets wind of the "local love story" living inside the property they're trying to buy, and decides it's the best marketing they've ever had, plastering Wren and Asher's faces across a banner the size of a barn. Because Mrs. Okafor, the town clerk with a weakness for romance novels, keeps "helping" in ways that nearly blow the whole arrangement. Because somewhere between the fake engagement and the real ring, the two of them stop pretending and nobody bothers to say so out loud. By the time the actual audit arrives, neither of them is sure anymore which parts were ever fake at all. A Year and a Day is a slow-burn, friends-to-fake-fiancés romantic comedy set in the misty Cascade foothills, perfect for readers who love small-town charm, found family, and a love story that sneaks up on you one shared bathroom and one stolen ring at a time.

Ian has one rule for surviving the Lorencia Imperial Academy: don't get noticed. Keep your grades respectably forgettable. Sit where no one looks. Want nothing, reach for nothing, lose nothing. It was a perfect plan - until Eileen Cartier set a lunchbox down in front of him, smiled, and refused to leave. She's the heroine. Everyone can see it: the golden hair, the noble name, the way a room turns toward her like flowers to the sun. And for reasons Ian cannot begin to understand, she has decided that the boy in the back row - the one working very hard to be furniture - is the only person she wants to share her lunch with. So he'll pass. On the attention. On the warmth. On her. He's very good at passing on things; it's how he's kept himself safe all this time. But spring is long, the rooftop roses are coming into bloom, and it turns out that being noticed by the right person is far more dangerous than any kind of pain. He just never expected to want it. I'll Pass on the Heroine is a clean, closed-door cozy academy romance - all the warmth and slow-burn longing, and not a single spicy scene. Expect a sunny, relentless heroine and a deadpan, guarded hero, a magic academy, slow-burn first love, opposites attract, lunchbox sieges and rooftop rose gardens, and a boy who would really rather not be the love interest.
