When Gary Jones checks into the historic Read House hotel, he expects nothing more than a warm bed and a quiet night. Instead, he finds Evelyn-a stunning, mysterious woman who seems to appear exactly when he needs her most. She is graceful, gentle, warm... and unlike anyone he has ever met. They talk in the hotel library. They dance in the empty ballroom. They walk the quiet halls like two souls who've known each other for a lifetime. Their connection is instant. Their chemistry undeniable. Their love unforgettable. But the Read House holds secrets. Evelyn is tied to something beyond the living-a shadowed past, a tragic history, and a darkness that still lingers inside Room 311. As Gary falls deeply in love with her, he discovers that she is not entirely alive... and not entirely at peace. When an ancient shadow threatens to pull her away forever, Gary must fight through fear, doubt, and the supernatural world itself to save her. But saving her might also mean setting her free. In the end, Gary learns the most heartbreaking truth of all: To love Evelyn is to let her go... and to carry her in his heart for the rest of his life. Set against the haunting elegance of The Read House in Chattanooga, The Shadows of The Read House is a sweeping paranormal romance about love, loss, courage, and the kind of connection that refuses to fade - even after goodbye.

If he gets hurt, she bleeds. If he dies, she dies. Forced to work together to survive the Culling, Lyra discovers that the only thing more dangerous than the monsters in the arena is the undeniable heat rising between her and the boy she swore to destroy.

And he just volunteered for the deadliest trial of them all."

A Note to the Reader Ashima's Story is a work of fiction. While it explores themes of marriage, divorce, personal trauma, and cultural dynamics within a Muslim family, the characters and their specific experiences are fictional. Any resemblance to real individuals or events is unintended and coincidental. The novel portrays characters navigating difficult life circumstances, including emotional pain and the process of healing. These depictions are not intended as a representation of any specific religion or culture as a whole, but rather as the unique journey of these characters. The author has taken creative liberties with certain procedural and cultural details for the sake of the narrative. I'm NeloofaNelz, the author of The Scars of Love. This novel is my first write.

A music producer discovers his bloodline holds a power that controls water-a secret that pits him against a global dynasty. When a journalist uncovers the truth, they must navigate love, betrayal, and a war fought in shadows.

Elena's life is quiet, predictable, and carefully contained - until one late-night train ride unsettles everything. On the nearly empty 11:42, where she usually hides behind a book and avoids the world, she notices a stranger: a man in a wrinkled suit with tired eyes and a crooked smile. A brief exchange of words becomes something more than small talk, the kind of conversation that lingers long after the train has reached its final stop. For the first time in years, Elena feels a spark of possibility - the fragile sense that this stranger might change the rhythm of her nights, and perhaps her life.

A detective's hunt for his missing sister uncovers a global conspiracy to reshape humanity. To save her, he must battle an idea too powerful to kill. The roots of evil run deep.

The New Reality: Smarter Scams, Same Goal - Today's scams are no longer clumsy emails with bad grammar. Many are AI-personalized, emotionally targeted, and disturbingly convincing-quoting your book, referencing your characters, even mimicking real publishers. Some go further: fake agents, fake film deals, and entire "publishing companies" built with AI-generated staff and cloned branding. The goal hasn't changed: get you to pay.
