When Pavin, a quiet half-Thai boy, returns to his late father's ancestral home in Chiang Mai after his mother's death in China, he expects only loneliness in a strange land. But fate has been waiting a hundred years for his return. Inside the decaying mansion of his father's legendary bloodline, Pavin breaks an ancient seal - freeing a sorcerer spirit once imprisoned by his family through a sacred relic: the Jyothirlinga, a divine stone said to carry the light of Lord Shiva himself. The spirit awakens and seizes his father's body, seeking the divine power now hidden within Pavin. In a final act of love, Pavin's father sacrifices himself - embedding the Jyothirlinga into his son's heart and casting him into the river below the Himmapan Forest, home of the mythical Vasuki Naga. Pavin survives, rescued by Ohm, a calm but mysterious forest explorer who hides his own secret - he is the descendant of the monk who once sealed the same spirit. Guided by an aged monk, they uncover the prophecy: "When the Blue Moon Eclipse rises again, the Jyothirlinga must be returned to the Naga's statue in the sacred cave. Only then shall the balance between heaven and earth be restored." As Pavin and Ohm journey through the enchanted forest, Pavin discovers strange powers awakening within him. When he wishes for rain, the heavens obey. When he touches the wounded, their pain fades. Soon, villagers call him Phra Dek - the Holy Child, believing he is a god reborn. But every miracle steals a fragment of his humanity. Each wish brings him closer to becoming divine - and farther from the boy he once was. Meanwhile, the spirit - wearing his father's face - grows stronger as the Blue Moon Eclipse nears, hunting Pavin across the mountains. And amid the curse and chaos, love begins to bloom between the boy who carries the light of the gods and the man fated to protect him. When gods, curses, and destiny entwine - will their love save the world... or be its final sacrifice?

Mackenzie knows all there is to know about love and men, which is why she hasn't gone on a single date in, well, ever. So when her best friend dares her to put her theories to the test and tame the worst campus player, who also happens to be her roommate, Mackenzie's about to learn that practical experience is way messier than textbooks. Jake Hunter has a six-pack, a reputation, and the emotional range of a teaspoon. The guy's allergic to commitment and thinks "feelings" are something you get after too many tequila shots.

She was innocence wrapped in secrets - the daughter of a man feared by an entire city, yet untouched by his darkness. All she ever wanted was a quiet life, far away from the blood her father spilled in the name of power. He was the light in her storm. The kind stranger who made her laugh, who listened, who made her feel seen in a world built on lies. She never asked who he really was. She just fell - deeply, hopelessly. He didn't know either. To him, she was just the girl with the soft smile and the eyes that felt like truth. The one person who reminded him that there was more to life than the job, more than the mission. Until the mission became her. Until the file landed on his desk - her father's name in bold, her face staring back at him. Now, love has become the most dangerous secret of all. Because when the truth comes out, it won't just break their hearts - it could destroy them both.

But when Aren starts to remember pieces of their taboo love, the stars begin to fall, and fate starts to fracture. He must defy all of destiny to love her. She must shatter the heavens to keep him. A gentle poetic tale of longing, memory, and a love that is, quite literally, written in the stars. Not all love, even love the stars have forgotten, is unremembered by the heart.

He'd left her a note and a cold cup of coffee. That's how Mara's world ended, quietly, normally, and tragically. Grief came in small details: his jacket still by the door, the mug with her lipstick print, the phone that lit up with his name she could not make herself answer. Every small thing, hurts. But the city doesn't stop for broken hearts. The rain still falls, the bread still bakes, strangers still smile. And as Mara staggers under sorrow, she finds herself stretched between the agony of memory and the fragile hope of tomorrow. This is not a story of perfect love. This is a story of losing big, of surviving by a thread, and of making beauty from the fissures that are left behind. A story where kindness comes in the form of warm croissants, a stranger's guitar, and a laugh that surprises her in the darkness. And when Mara eventually masters folding the note and tucking it away, she finds out something she never anticipated: heartbreak isn't forever. Not when life continues to move on. Not when healing arrives in tiny, stubborn bits. Not when hope, despite everything, still wants to be discovered. Until It Doesn't Hurt is a gritty, emotional romance about endings that shatter us, beginnings that rebuild us, and the quiet miracle of falling in love again.
