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. I'm sorry to anyone who gets updates for old parts to which I make minor grammatical changes. Don't kill me. c:

"I'm going to take care of you and the kids, Grace." Oh. I just...I get this feeling within me that just warms me throughout. "You already are, Joe." "I know, but I mean in a different way. I've been doing that as an outsider. I'd like to be a part of your family." "Joseph...you've been a part of our family for years. We've never thought of you in any other way." It's the truth. His eyebrows raise and he stares at me for a while. Then he nods. I smile gently and he kisses my cheek again then gives me a smoldering look. "Thank you." He brings one of my hands to his lips, pressing a kiss to it, his eyes still fixed on mine. My breath catches with the intensity there. "I love you, Grace." The sincerity in his words are as clear as day. All at once, I feel so incredibly grateful to have him in my life and I find tears springing up. His gaze softens as he sees them. Ordinarily I would try to hide this obvious sign of vulnerability, but I don't. There's no reason to with him. "I love you too." He smiles gently and then turns his head towards my hand still on his face, pressing a tender kiss to my palm. ~~~ This is an age gap interracial (bwwm) Christian romance that involves Joe, a widower, and Grace, a widow of six years and family friend. Joe has just lost his wife and Grace is there for him as he works through a grief that she is unfortunately familiar with. As the years go by and he continues to heal, their friendship develops into something more.

Bridstow, Shropshire, 1962. Emily Calloway runs the village surgery of Dr. Hartley and Dr. Hargrove with quiet, unfailing competence and asking for very little in return.'What would I do without you?' Dr. Hargrove says more than once. But when a beautiful blonde arrives at the surgery one afternoon with monogrammed luggage and every appearance of belonging at Dr. Hargrove's side, Emily discovers there are some heartbreaks no amount of discipline can keep neatly contained, and Dr. Hargrove will discover exactly what life without Emily Calloway is like. This is a vintage old school Mills & Boon-style inspired tale, but with a stronger heroine, and a little grovel thrown in.

Mira, an avid player of otome games, suddenly finds herself in the world of the otome game she's just finished.

[completed] Nova Carter knows exactly what the next few years of her life will look like: she will work harder than anyone else (as she didn't get into New York University to slack off); she'll be keeping her head down and prioritizing getting her affairs in order; and she'll ultimately make her parents proud by being the living proof of anyone with a disability being able to make their dreams come true. Little does she know that her carefully planned path is about to take a detour into the extraordinary. After all, she hadn't quite anticipated befriending the son of famous billionaire Sergei Macarevich on the first day of her orientation week, nor meeting the son of equally famous billionaire Hudson Wilder that same night. And she definitely hadn't anticipated tumbling right into the inner circle of New York's elite (disability, clumsiness, inexperience and all). As Nova navigates this new life, she finds herself forming an unconventional family around her. With her childhood best friend by her side, Nova immerses herself in the lives of her newfound wealthy friends, an exuberant roommate, and a spirited group of NYU's disabled rebels led by their eccentric counselor - finding love in forms she'd never dreamed of on her way. A romantic, heart-warming and diverse coming-of-age with a Spotify playlist and characters' social media posts.

To Leith Dyer, life is best kept in lists, edits, and carefully placed boundaries. As a columnist at Marigold, she's built a career out of writing low-stakes lifestyle pieces while quietly keeping her own awkward, clumsy life safely out of reach. Her new assignment changes that: nine first dates, documented in real time for one of the most-read features on the site. According to her boss Irene, finally something with stakes. Leith agrees to the experiment with one rule: she only goes on the dates as research. But in a workplace where everything becomes content and every connection has an audience, even distance is hard to maintain. Especially when Callum, her boss's quietly indispensable cousin, keeps showing up in the margins, becoming the one variable she never agreed to include. As the nine dates unfold, Leith starts noticing a pattern she can't edit out: the more she writes about connection, the less certain she is about the version she's performing and the one she actually wants. And when readers begin to notice Callum too, turning him into a story of their own, the line between author and subject begins to blur in ways she can't control. A contemporary workplace romance about visibility, authorship, and the uncomfortable truth that some stories don't stay within the boundaries you set for them.

The first book of The Chronicles of Eternity series: Aiden Rivera, prince of Symphony, is starting high school like any other Royal or Rich at Oak Tree Academy. He expects his life to remain uneventful. Then he meets the mysterious Pegasus-riding girl Calida Albright. Calida is bold, stubborn, and keeping a secret bigger than Aiden could ever imagine. She possesses a ruby that grants her the power of Fire, and she has spent years making sure no one discovers it. But after being adopted by the Duke and Duchess of Symphony, Garrett and May Hanson, she is forced to attend Oak Tree Academy, where keeping that secret becomes much more difficult. Unfortunately, on her very first day, her history class takes a field trip to the War History Museum, home to countless historical artifacts. While there, Calida discovers eight different-colored diamonds eerily similar to her ruby: the Eternity Diamonds. And suddenly, her secret is out. Calida realizes that her ruby is actually the long-lost Red Eternity Diamond, one of ten Diamonds notorious for choosing worthy masters. But as memories of her forgotten past begin resurfacing, she can't help but wonder: "Am I truly worthy?" Meanwhile, Aiden learns that out of all ten Eternity Diamonds, the only one powerful enough to counter Calida's is hidden inside the Castle-his lifelong home. If he wants to stop what's coming for them, he'll need to lead his friends into the most heavily guarded place in the kingdom while fighting his own guilty conscience. Now Aiden, Calida, and their new friends are caught between a rock and a hard place. They have three goals: stay out of police custody, win a centuries-long war between the Diamond Masters and an evil giantess, and solve a mystery that stretches into the galaxy. Age rating: 9+ (fantasy violence and clean romance elements). New chapters will be published as I complete them.

★#1 IN FAE RISE SAGA★ "I need to ask you honestly. Who are you? What are you?" "......All that matters is that I am here now." Shy, homeschooled teenage girl Lisa Corothy, prefers to live a quiet life surrounded by books and cats. But when she attends a weekly homeschool co-op, her plans go astray. Because of another attendee named Puck. Puck is the walking biohazard of charisma and danger Lisa never wanted. Until she discovers he is what she has been looking for. As Lisa digs deeper into Puck's background, she begins to put herself in danger for reasons only Puck knows. And he becomes the only one that can protect her. Because he is 'one of them'. And by them, I mean the Faeries. Meanwhile, Lisa's older sister Alexandra tries to recover from a painful breakup, and is determined to let God write her love story. Could a socially awkward Romanian boy be the answer to her prayers?

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.

People always asked why a woman would drift all the way out to the frontier. I didn't drift. I walked. Elara arrives at the western border fortress with a sword, her own two feet, and no patience for anyone's permission. On her first night she follows the smell of frying oil - and finds the Demon of the Battlefield, the mercenary they call the Gray Wolf, standing at an orphanage hearth, filling the smallest child's plate first. He tells her he already gave his heart to someone. Gave - past tense. Elara likes that. The seat is empty, and she has never once learned how to back away. But the Gray Wolf's past kept its receipts. Old debts come walking over the ridge toward everything he has quietly built - the children, the fortress, and the swordswoman who refuses to stand behind him. He has spent his whole life believing his side is a dangerous place to stand. She plants spring outside his window anyway. This is not a story about a woman who fixes a broken man. It is the story of a wolf who learns he is allowed to live in the sun - and the woman who walked there first. He asks before he touches. That is where it begins.

Stella tenía claro una cosa: odiar a Jacob Anderson era lo más fácil del mundo. Después de lo que pasó hace dos años, prometió no volver a confiar en él jamás.

Una pelea con su mejor amiga, recuerdos que todavía duelen y una playa a la que siempre vuelve cuando algo se rompe harán que Stella vuelva a encontrarse con la persona que menos quería ver. Porque hay heridas que siguen doliendo incluso con el paso del tiempo. Y hay personas que, por mucho que intentes odiarlas... nunca terminan de irse. Y quizá lo peor no sea volver a verlo. Quizá lo peor sea dejar de odiarlo.
