Wanderlust Stories

In the vast silence of the desert, where stars stretch endlessly above and the road disappears into the horizon, Ivy is chasing something she can't quite name. A rare celestial event. A final promise to her late sister. A reason to keep moving forward. But fate has other plans. A wrong turn leads to a collision-both literal and life-altering-leaving her stranded with Evan, a stranger whose easy smile hides a secret he's not ready to share. With no cell service, no map, and only one car between them, they set off on an unexpected journey across the desert-from ghost towns and golden-hour canyons to laughter beneath towering metal jackrabbits and quiet moments that feel like both too much and not enough. Ivy wants control. Direction. Closure. Evan wants to see the world before it slips away. What begins as friction becomes connection. What starts as accident becomes something neither of them saw coming. As miles blur behind them and walls begin to fall, Ivy discovers that love doesn't always come with a future, and Evan learns that being truly seen might be all that matters. Because some stars burn brightest just before they fade. And some hearts are meant to meet-even if only for a little while.

Crossings of the Heart - One-Shot Stories Every chapter is a doorway. Step through. Crossings of the Heart is an elegant anthology of mature, interracial one-shot romances where the main woman is always Black-and always the center of her own desire, discovery, and joy. From moonlit courtyards in Marrakech to fog-blown cliffs along Big Sur, from Kyoto's snow gardens to the honey-warm balconies of the Caribbean, these are intimate encounters that celebrate culture, chemistry, and connection. What to expect: • One-shot chapters: a complete story each time-no cliffhangers, just soul-deep moments that linger. • Interracial romance: a diverse cast of love interests across continents and cultures. • Mature but non-explicit sensuality: lush, emotional, and evocative scenes that invite you closer without crossing into explicit detail. • Strong settings: lush, place-driven storytelling-markets, gardens, rooftops, rivers, vineyards, and old stone alleys that feel alive. • Standalone comfort: begin anywhere, revisit favorites, collect the feelings that find you. You'll meet women who are artists, dancers, scientists, chefs, historians, and wanderers-each chapter a new spark: a rooftop kiss over Lisbon's tiles, warm laughter echoing in an Edinburgh loft, steam-soft murmurs in Budapest baths, moonlight ripening lemons along the Amalfi coast. These are stories of tenderness and courage, longing and consent, reverence and play-where a shared glance becomes a language and touch becomes a map. For readers who crave: • Heart-forward romance with grown, layered characters • Sensual storytelling that honors intimacy without graphic content • Travel-infused vibes and richly textured atmosphere • Short reads you can savor in a single sitting Author: Relle H. Book type: Anthology of one-shot interracial romances Tone: Elegant, intimate, wanderlust-kissed Open to any page. Let a place choose you. Let a moment keep you.

Back in 2015 there was an accident that rocked Aurora Brahm's world. No, it wasn't a skydiving accident like she always joked she would die from. It wasn't from swimming with stingrays or sharks. It wasn't from jumping off a cliff with her husband, Jude. It was a lapse in concentration and incoming traffic. It took her world. Jude has been in a coma ever since, and the doctors have very little hope that he will recover from his vegetative state. But Aurora won't give up. This is the fight for Jude Brahm. ~ ~ ~ "The most bizarre mix of emotions twisting my stomach. Seriously, this book is amazing. I have never, and I read A LOT so I mean NEVER, read something that made me so happy and excited yet sad and completely devastated at the same time. . ." - Michelle from @KaraMichelleBooks , coauthor of Breeder Nation "This is so emotional and, at the same time, very cute! I'm in love with your story." - @amethystnebula "I am seriously in love with your story. It's probably one of the sweetest I've read in a long time. And the idea is ingenious!" - @QuixoticHearts "I love this story! The time jumps work because of the letter/journal format, and the memories/scenes you've picked to show are perfect, like the highlights of what made their relationship what it was. I absolutely love their relationship and you have created these characters so vividly." - @CCrawfordWriting gorgeous cover by @pasteldevil- ^-^

Just a quote book with my favourite quotes from here and there. Prepare to be awe-inspired with beautiful or sarcastic quotes from characters I fell in love with and song lyrics I was drawn to. [P.S. By 'here and there' I mean from Cassandra Clare's books (: The Infernal devices & The Mortal Instruments :) Jem is my role model and in a weird way I empathise with him and his tight situation. For those of you who know the story, you know what I mean but for those you don't well, let's just say life is short so live it well]

"i think that someone hollowed out the stars and poured all of their magic into you."

Lucas didn't know his purpose. She helped him find it. Maya was broken. He fixed her. Lucas wasn't himself. She showed him who he was.

I loved you as Icarus loved The Sun- Too close, Too much.

In Wanderlust, women have always been overlooked. We take care of the young, the sick, the hungry. But we don't fight, we don't protect, and we definitely don't save. Being in the army has been a dream of mine ever since I learned the meaning of the word. When I do finally make it through the rough training conditions, my dream to fight for my kingdom comes true in the worst way possible. Levi, the prince of Amoris, a neighboring kingdom, is looking to find a bride in the lost princess of Wanderlust. Unfortunately, no one has known her whereabouts since her birth. That is except him. And when he finds her, he will court her and join their kingdoms. Whether she wants to be wed to him or not. Cover made by the amazing @Invisible_Airplane
