The world sees the headlines. The edits. The chaos. But behind closed doors? It's just them. Kourtney Carter is everything the industry loves to watch talented, fearless, and impossible to ignore. Kim Taehyung is everything the world thinks they understand until he decides to stop playing by the rules. One night. One moment. One "no soft launch, hard launch only" decision... And suddenly, they're not just trending they're unavoidable. But love in the spotlight isn't soft. It's messy. It's loud. It's dissected in real time by millions who think they know your story. While the internet builds narratives, they're building something real... Something intimate. Something creative. Something that doesn't ask for permission. And when the past comes back with unfinished business, When jealousy, regret, and truth collide... They'll have to decide: Are they strong enough to survive the noise? Or are they about to become another love story the world watches fall apart?

*Warning there may be sensitive topics in the book* Where one's status is based on their Dominant or Submissive alleles, Ama'Rose always felt a deep reluctance to take part in societies grouping. She couldn't see herself under someone else's control, (a submissive). And being a switch was just too unstable for her, (a submissive and a dominant). With the fear of finding out her persona, Ama'Rose stayed clear of blood testing and categorizing, that is until she goes to club Chasity. From there her entire life makes a turn for the worse, and now her biology not only brings unwanted attention but also catches the eye of the only S ranked male submissive in America, Ezra Wellington.

Shelice Nembhard was born to rule. As the daughter of one of New Kingston's most powerful vampire bloodlines, her future has already been decided: inherit the clan, protect its territories, and someday wear the crown her father has spent centuries preparing for her. But Shelice has never wanted strength, power, or immortal politics. She wants magic. Real magic. The kind that answers with more than instinct and blood. Her twin brother Winston has the opposite problem. Born with their mother's witch abilities instead of the full strength of the vampire bloodline, Winston has spent his entire life feeling incomplete beside his sister. While Shelice moves through the world with unnatural speed and effortless dominance, Winston dreams of power that feels solid in his hands instead of spells that keep him standing behind everyone else. Then they discover something impossible. When their emotions align, their abilities begin to merge. Shelice can finally cast powerful spells. Winston gains the overwhelming physical strength he has always envied. Together, they become something neither vampire nor witch should be capable of becoming. But their gift comes with a dangerous truth. Their connection is rare. Valuable. And in the hidden supernatural world beneath Jamaica, rumors of power spread quickly. As tensions rise between rival factions and whispers of an ancient artifact known as the Twinstone begin surfacing, the twins flee the heavily guarded estate they once believed was their prison. Pursued through the forests, caves, and forgotten corners of Jamaica by creatures out of folklore and enemies tied to their father's past, Shelice and Winston search for the mysterious Weaver, a being rumored capable of rewriting inheritance itself. Rooted in Jamaican folklore and urban fantasy, Thicker Than Magic is a story about identity, family, envy, and the dangerous desire to become someone else, even at the cost of yourself.

One reckless night in Athens was supposed to mean nothing. For Rianna Davis - a retired American supermodel from South Central LA, with a ring on her finger and a future she finally believed in - it was exactly that: a mistake sealed away, a stranger forgotten. Until the stranger's last name turned everything she thought she knew into a lit fuse with no visible end. Damon Drakos doesn't share. He doesn't ask. And when a secret pregnancy surfaces with only one possible explanation, he doesn't hesitate. What begins as leverage slowly, dangerously becomes something neither of them has a name for. And then a wedding happens. And then it becomes something worse. Set against Athens's collision of ancient beauty and modern ambition - rooftop bars above the Acropolis, candlelit museums, cliffside islands, the wind off the Aegean, and the quiet suffocating weight of dynasty money - Forbidden Secrets follows two people dismantling everything they touch on their way toward something that might, if they survive it, be real. But there's Leonidas. Her husband. His brother. A good man who deserves none of this. A family is holding its fractures together with silk and silence. A patriarch whose calculated quiet is its own form of damage. A detective with photographs. A brother who has finally decided that knowing and saying nothing are the same thing. And there's a city that has outlasted empires - that has held every kind of desire and ruin in its marble and dust - and will keep this secret as long as you can afford to keep paying. This is not a love story that happens cleanly. The marriage doesn't fix it. The second pregnancy doesn't make it any easier. Nothing about it is safe. Everything about it is slow. © _RelleLebby_// R.

She was not supposed to be this easy to lose. He came home from eighteen months overseas to a city that had moved forward without him and a best friend who had promised herself to a man with a beautiful face and a controlled smile and something underneath it that Nicholas Kwon could not name but could not stop seeing. He said nothing. He waited. He watched from a distance while the distance grew into something he could no longer pretend was manageable, and by the time he found the words, there was a ring on her finger and the door was already closing. She thought she was making a choice. She did not know that choices can be engineered, that love can be manufactured as a trap, that the man who shows you the world is sometimes already calculating how to own it. By the time she understood what she had walked into, the exits had been sealed so gradually she had not noticed them closing. This is not a love story that arrives easily or ends without cost. It is a story about what it takes to fight for someone who cannot yet fight for themselves, about what control looks like when it lives in a mansion and wears the right shoes and speaks in the right voice. It is a story about a woman who loses herself in the worst possible way and finds the long road back through art and grief and the patient, unshakeable presence of the one person who refused to stop being there. The darkness here is not decorative. The love here is not simple. Neither of them resolves cleanly. Dark. Slow. Explicit. No shortcuts taken. No easy landings. Only the long, costly, entirely earned truth of what survives. Reader discretion is strongly advised. ©️ _RelleLebby_//R. L.

Amara Monroe is not the kind of woman who stops moving. She is a graduate student, a business owner, a daughter, and a caretaker all at once, and she handles every single role with the kind of quiet discipline that most people never see because she does not ask them to. Her life runs on early mornings, tight budgets, and the deep belief that doing things the right way matters even when no one is watching. Kit Wattanakul is a Thai-American chef who built his Atlanta restaurant on the same principle. Disciplined. Intentional. Rooted in the culture and family that shaped him. He is not a man who does things carelessly. Which makes it all the more complicated when one unexpected afternoon puts Amara in his orbit and neither of them can quite find their way back to the distance they started with. This is not a story about two people who fall recklessly into each other. It is a story about two people who feel something real and choose, again and again, to handle it with honesty and care. About what it costs to want something you are not yet free to reach for. About family duty and cultural identity and the particular courage it takes to build love on a foundation that can actually hold. Set against the copper and gold of an Atlanta autumn, Eyes on You is a slow burn that earns every degree of heat. No shortcuts. No compromise. Just two people deciding that something worth having is worth doing right. ©️ _RelleLebby_// R. L.

She did not come to Seoul to fall apart. Raquel "Rocky" Sinclair came with a plan - a career built from discipline, a relationship that looked stable from the outside, and a version of herself that knew exactly how to stay composed under pressure. She was not reckless. She was not the kind of woman who left doors open when she should have closed them. But Seoul at night is not the same city as Seoul by day. A single evening - a routine coworker dinner that slides somewhere it was never supposed to go - puts her in the same room as Rion, a solo artist whose name moves through entertainment circles the way smoke moves through a closed space. Quiet until it fills everything. He is not available. Neither is she. That is the first thing she tells herself. The second is that it does not matter, because nothing happened, and nothing is going to happen. She is wrong on both counts. What follows is not a love story in the clean sense. It is something slower and more dangerous - a connection built in fragments, maintained in secrecy, and measured by what two people are willing to destroy to keep something they were never supposed to want. Every message sent after midnight. Every silence that says more than either of them is willing to admit out loud. EVERYTHING BURNS AT THIRTY is a slow-burn interracial romance set against the neon pressure of Seoul and the coastal exposure of Busan - a story about emotional drift, the cost of chosen silence, and what happens when two people who know better keep choosing each other anyway. Mature, unflinching, and emotionally precise. ©️ _RelleLebby_//R.L.

Her father built an empire on silence and steel. When they killed him, they expected her to grieve quietly and disappear. They miscalculated. Corren Vale does not mourn in public. She does not collapse in private. She identifies every person who smiled at her father's funeral while holding the knife that put him in the ground, and she begins, methodically, to remove them. Chicago does not belong to the grieving. It belongs to whoever is willing to do what no one else will stomach. Corren has always known that. She just never thought she would have to prove it this publicly, or this permanently. Nico DeLuca is not an ally. He is not a partner. He is a problem she cannot solve without creating a worse one. Son of a Mafia captain, raised between old money and street violence, he operates on instinct and appetite. He has never once been told no by anyone who survived the conversation. He believes she is a liability dressed in a nice coat. She believes he will burn everything she is trying to build. They are both right. The city is watching. The bodies are accumulating. And somewhere beneath the war, beneath the posturing and the gunfire and the rooms that smell like iron and expensive cologne, something is developing between them that neither of them has a name for and both of them recognize as catastrophic. No Mercy Avenue is a mature dark romance set in the criminal underground of Chicago: violence, power, obsession, and the cost of inheriting a throne built on blood. ©️ RelleLebby // R. L.

Kamara knew something was wrong the moment the house fell silent. Not quiet-silent. Then came the sound. A creak. A bang. A shift in the air that didn't feel natural. And then... the pendant.
