Standalone Stories

Peter runs a bookshop where the days repeat and the solitude never asks anything of him. He opens early. He sorts shelves. He goes home alone. He likes it fine. Then Sara walks back in after years away, her five-year-old daughter Mia trailing behind her with a stuffed fox and too many questions. They knew each other once. Teenagers circling the same store without ever quite colliding. Now she's tired, fierce, and carrying more than she'll admit. Mia claims a reading rug. Sara starts staying longer. And Peter realizes the emptiness he'd grown used to was never comfortable at all. But Sara fought hard to stand on her own. And the closer Peter gets, the more she fears losing the ground she built beneath her feet. Until Tomorrow Comes is a quiet, character-driven story about love that arrives gently and leaves a mark. About the difference between being alone and being lonely. About what it costs to let someone in and what it costs not to.

He was the first person who made her feel all sorts of different emotions: love, confusion, pain, and some that she couldn't even explain-both positive and negative.

And after everything, she is the one in the driver's seat. She is the one in control of her life. And no matter what challenges she faces, she will always find a way back to the right path.

Thrust into the rural hometown Wylie grew up in, with her murderer still running free and her memory of her death severed, the two Reapers must navigate a twisting world of lies, ominous shadows with pointed teeth, a forced friendship, and their own growing feelings for one another. But Wylie's murderer remembers. They want her dead again-for good this time-and will stop at nothing to see it come to fruition, even if it costs the lives of others. A Reaper's greatest temptation is revenge. To succumb is to be destroyed. To Refuse is to suffer. Wylie will do anything to get back at her killer. Finn will do anything to atone for past mistakes.

She was born into a throne room, but raised in the cellar. ​Rosalia is the daughter of one of the most powerful mafia bosses in Greece, yet she lives as a stranger to her own blood. Neglected by a father who treats her like a mistake and overshadowed by a younger sister who can do no wrong, Rosalia has learned that the safest way to survive is to remain unseen. ​He was born in the gutter, but conquered the darkness. ​Zuhaib Salvatore Accarasio-the "Shadow"-is a man of iron and scars.
