Myah, a Belizean-American nurse, has sworn off dating to focus on her work-and that's the story she sticks to whenever friends or coworkers try to set her up. In truth, the 25-year-old hopeless romantic is simply exhausted from dealing with "vacuous dullards" who call themselves potential partners. So when one of her patients insists she meet her successful, charming son who would be perfect for her, Myah is... less than enthusiastic. Liam has no interest in dating, let alone love. After a devastating breakup, he buried his heart in work and built his company from the ground up, determined to rely on his own success rather than his family's wealth. When his mother falls ill, he finally steps away from the office-only to be persuaded into going on a date with the nurse she can't stop praising. What begins as a reluctant meeting slowly unfolds into something real. Join Myah and Liam as they stumble, grow, and learn to trust again, overcoming the challenges of an interracial relationship and creating their own version of love-one built not on haste, but on time, patience, and possibility.

Amos University is a prestigious institute with a thousand years of history. Mage families send their sons to Amos to learn their craft, make connections with other families, and prepare for their future. Mixing magic and young men promises that no one year is boring. Club rivalries, hazing, and missed assignments can become a matter of life and death. But underneath it all there are predictable variables, controls placed over the students to prevent certain apocalyptic type events from happening. There are natural laws to magic which no mage can change or cross. Such as: all mages are male. In body or soul, every mage is male. Until Naena. A bastard from the Western Cape, Naena has spent the previous three years living on the streets. She is uneducated and lacking in certain social niceties. Her mother was once a maid to a mage family, learning a coded language as a young mage in the house did, but nothing else is known about the woman except her name. The men who find Naena are determined to keep her alive long enough to find out what her appearance means. The students are both wary and intrigued. While the faculty are forced to take on the first female mage in the history of the world, nothing says they need to help her with her studies. Or to stay alive.

Ashes Under Vermillion Some love stories don't burn bright. They smolder... quietly... until everything turns to ash. Ira Sen, a fearless investigative journalist, is forced into a marriage with Ahaan Malhotra-the heir of a powerful business empire built on secrets. What begins as a reluctant union slowly transforms into something deeper, as Ira finds herself drawn to the man behind the arrogance. But just when trust begins to bloom, truth intervenes. While uncovering a decades-old conspiracy tied to Ahaan's father, Ira chooses silence to protect the man she loves-only to be met with betrayal. In a moment of rage and blind faith in his family, Ahaan shatters everything between them, leaving Ira to walk away... carrying more than just heartbreak. Years later, fate forces them to stand face to face again-no longer as lovers, but as strangers bound by a past that refuses to stay buried. Ira has rebuilt her life, her strength, and her identity, while Ahaan has risen from the ruins of his fallen empire, now a man shaped by regret. But when the truth finally surfaces-and with it, a child that connects them in ways words cannot undo-their worlds collide once more. This is not a story of easy forgiveness. Not a tale where love alone is enough. It is a story about: Trust that was never honored Love that came too late And the unbearable weight of realization Because sometimes... you don't lose someone when they leave. You lose them- when you fail to stand beside them when it mattered most.

Alice Grant is desperate to get an interview with famous reporter Rainer Stevens since he is the only one who has the information vital to her finishing her dissertation, but when the time comes to meet him she falls asleep only to awaken to the nicest pair of blue eyes that she has ever seen. Rainer agrees to help her, but only if she helps him by acting as research assistant for his latest story. As the the two travel the Texas countryside, Rainer realizes that he's in a little too deep and he's at risk to share all of his closely guarded secrets. Alice knows there's no way a man of the world like Rainer would ever fall for a kooky little grad-student, but knowing that doesn't keep her from falling for the man or his crazy family.

In a bid to escape the pain of her past, Ella runs to New York, hoping distance might mend a shattered heart. She never imagined her path would intertwine with Maxwell Xavier - a devastatingly handsome billionaire whose own heart bears deep scars. When a tender, broken woman meets a passionate man who loves with intensity and loyalty, the lines between healing and heartache blur. Could their unexpected connection be the love they've both been searching for... or a beautiful disaster waiting to unfold?

Vivienne's life changes the moment she turns eighteen and the bond snaps into place-with someone she never expected. At first, it feels like fate. He's charming, attentive, everything a fated connection is supposed to be. But the longer she's with him, the more something feels... off. Subtle at first. Easy to dismiss. Until it isn't. Over time, the bond that was supposed to be a source of love becomes something else entirely-something heavy, something controlling. Vivienne finds herself shrinking in ways she doesn't fully understand, caught in a dynamic she can't quite name but can't escape either. And then, suddenly, it's over. In the quiet aftermath, she's left with space-more than she knows what to do with. Space to breathe. To question. To begin again. That's what leads her to a small farm, to something simple and grounding. She isn't looking for anything more than a furry friend. But she finds Noah instead. He's steady where her past was uncertain. Gentle where things once felt sharp. And though he's long past the age of expecting anything like fate, something about the way they meet feels quietly, impossibly right. This time, there's no pressure. No weight. Just a chance at something real. ***this story explores mating bonds in humans as a cultural norm. There are no werewolves or supernatural beings in this world***

Time heals all wounds. When you have the power to rewind it, you begin to wonder whether it's too much responsibility for one person to hold. ***** Sometimes, walking away is the scariest, yet the bravest thing one can do. Iris Fox would know; after returning to the coastal town of Emelle Bay, Oregon, and finding her life in shambles, it's hard to ignore the voice in the back of her head that beckons her to stay. Days turn into weeks, which turn into months, and Iris finds herself drawn to the heartbreaking reminders of how it all went wrong. Echoes of unfinished business and painful memories wash up, awakening the dormant power to rewind time, and Iris realizes she has a choice to make--she can either use her power to try and fix what has been stolen from her, rewriting her past, present, and future, or she can tuck the past where it belongs. Either way, there's only one conclusion. All actions have consequences. ***** Open Novella Contest -- prompts 24, 33, & 54 [[WATTPAD FEATURED STORY X2]] [[OPEN NOVELLA CONTEST 2024 ROUND 1 AMBASSADORS' PICK, LONGLISTER & SHORTLISTER]] [[THE AMBYS 2025 AMBASSADOR'S PICK IN CONTEMPORARY NOVELLA]] © 2024 caterina george // all rights reserved

She woke up married to a billionaire. Now she has to remember why. Peyton Adair is seventeen, stubborn, and the last thing she remembers is Cape Heron's bonfire, sand under her feet, a voice too close in the dark.

"You will marry me." "I would rather die." "That can be arranged." ---- Catalina Sofia Reyes was never meant to be part of her family's business. Shielded from violence by her father and adored by three overprotective brothers, she lived her life as the untouchable daughter of one of Mexico's most powerful cartel leaders. Until her family made a mistake that placed a debt on their heads. A debt the Bratva refused to forgive. Instead of blood or territory, they demanded something far more personal. Her. Forced into marriage with Mikhail Ivanovich Petrov - the cold, calculating heir to a Russian empire that has been at war with her family for years - Catalina becomes a living payment for a crime she did not commit. She refuses to be his wife. He refuses to release what he is owed. Taken into a world where loyalty is enforced and weakness is fatal, Catalina refuses to become a symbol of surrender. She keeps her distance, her anger, and her allegiance to the family that traded her away. Mikhail does not want her love. He wants control, stability, and a living reminder that the Reyes cartel owes him. But power shifts inside a marriage built on debt. As Catalina learns the rules of the Bratva and Mikhail begins to treat her as something more than a payment, their alliance becomes dangerous to everyone around them - especially the families who are still waiting for war. Because if the cartel princess and the Bratva heir choose each other, the balance of power between two empires will change forever. And in their world, love is not just a risk. It is a threat. ---- Best rankings: #4 Cartel 22/5/26 #5 Cartel 20/5/26 #3 Darksecrets 27/5/26

"Your parents don't know, do they?" he asked, walking around me like a cheetah cornering its prey. "What would they do if they knew their little princess was gallivanting around with two guys?" My mouth dropped open in shock, the words sticking to my tongue like molasses. Adonis's smirk grew wider, his eyes gleaming with mischief. He knew. But he didn't know everything. If anyone saw us outside, one could assume Roman was my boyfriend and Levi was a close friend. His threat was solid, but how could I give in so easily. "What are you talking about?" I blurted out, my voice shaking slightly. But the lie was a poorly stitched patch on a tattered dress. Adonis stepped closer, his breath hot on my neck as he leaned in. "Come back to me and your little secret remains as such." ➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿ Alina Collier never thought she would ever see the kinky side of her life ignited. She had been cautious of men since her last bad breakup, giving her almost five years of blissful solitude. But her new sexy neighbor had other plans, lighting a fire in her that she had long ago put out. Levi Grey never anticipated moving to a new city and sleeping with his neighbor hours before being invited to meet her family. Behind closed doors and out in the open, he had always been the dominant type. No woman said no to him, and Alina was no exception. Roman Porter, a man of few words and killer looks, has his eyes on both of them. Something about them intrigues him, drawing him closer to the past he so desperately wanted to leave behind. But even when things start going his way, the world seems to be against the future he wants to build. ©️ 2024 RhydianAdhaya
