Bai adored the spotlight. Night after night of awed gasps and amazed cheers as he flew through the air with his acrobatics troupe and their exceedingly well practiced routine. On stage, he was a ghost, a phantom for the hero to defeat. With his flowing white hair, the shrill cry of his flute, and the fluttering of his ornate costume aided by his own wind magic, he made quite the spectacle. Off stage, life had been unchanged for as long as he could remember. With poor vision that left him unfit for many kinds of labor, he'd been sold to the traveling circus at a young age by his poor family. Everything for his use was always in the same spot, everything always the same bright colors. Life off stage, outside of practice, consisted of such exciting tasks as using his wind magic to keep the flies out of the mess tent, and helping the never ending quantities of laundry to dry. Indentured to the show, raised by the stage, he'd never known anything else. He'd never considered anything else. But one fateful night when a wealthy foreign noble has all the other performers anxious to perform their best, Bai learns he's still able to be bought and sold. Whether he wants it or not, heir to the throne of Gelsan, Prince Kamau, is going to thrust Bai onto an entirely different stage... This story can also be found on Royal Road 👋

A quiet night at a border petrol station goes sideways when lone worker Tamzin Clough steps out from behind the window to pull her truant brother away from trouble. A stranger in black leathers ends a scuffle in one breath... and a single photo turns him into a tabloid fantasy. When the press mistake Luca for his famous twin and Tamzin for a mystery girlfriend, he makes an offer she can't refuse: play along, and her brothers get a real shot at safety, school, and much needed support. She's practical, not starstruck. He's methodical, not the star. But paparazzi don't care, and neither do his brother's fans and family. If she says yes, everything changes - home, work, school, and the story people tell about a girl from Darnley. By Christmas, the Cloughs may be sitting down to their first real family holiday with the Holyoakes, the local 'royals' - if they can weather the storm that comes with it. A contemporary small‑town romance about competence, care, and second chances - with oil under the nails, cold breath on the glass, and a slow, steady heat that knows what it's doing. Series note: Book 1 of the Italian Holyoakes Series. The Holyoake family sit at the heart of most stories in this universe; you'll see their threads here and in later books. Universe note: Set in Fleckney, my shared in-narrative universe. You'll spot crossovers - and many familiar faces; or example, Eric Dair from "A Villain for Christmas" and a whole bunch of the locals, which you have met if you read my other books.

The world is cruel, and Dareen Abu feels helpless. She's just going with the flow of what society tells her to do: go to college, get your degree, and work for the rest of your life like a robot. But her mind is always on her dreams: becoming a writer, finding love, and not having to worry about her finances. Writing is her safe haven. She utterly adores romance and fantasies about it all day, inserting herself in her character's shoes for some thrill in her rather boring life. Though her life is a lot greater than most people's, she notices her family's struggles. They came into the country with only a bag of items, after all; however, after fifteen years, they still haven't been able to break free from the minimum wage cage. Not to mention that getting a job nowadays is harder than ever, which she's personally seen her father struggle with. After six months, he finally lands a job, but it's another nursing home driving job that he isn't getting paid well for. What he is good at is cooking. He may not be primarily passionate about it in this given moment since he's been in survival mode for the past fifteen years, but perhaps a cushy private chef job where rich people let him experiment with all kinds of organic goods and in return eat Michelin-star-worthy food, for which he gets paid well, would be a win-win situation for everyone. But just how will Dareen help her father get a better job? And little does she know that perhaps she may benefit from her pursuit to help him. Dive into Dareen's journey by giving this story a good read to find out just what happens to her and her family... and her heart?
