Tender Stories

Meera, the fun- loving, independent, bubbly girl has always been the apple of her brother's eye. Never in her wildest dreams does she imagine that she would fall in love with Arjun, the charming doctor, who approaches her with strength, tenderness and respect. But the arrival of new love in her life strains her relationship with her brother, testing her strength and loyalties. Caught between the protective love of her brother and the blossoming reverence of a man, does Meera untangle the mess and stand for what her heart wants?

From college dreams to grown realities, a group of friends step into adulthood-building businesses, chasing passions, and finding balance between love and ambition. From beauty empires to classrooms, therapy rooms, and city offices, they're learning that soulmates aren't just found-they're built over a lifetime.

Emma's luck has been in a downward spiral lately. She missed out on a promotion, had her dress ripped at the airport, got hit on while drinking, and ended up in a bar fight (which she mostly started!). Her best friend Grace suggested a quick fix: "Maybe a purple crystal bracelet will turn your luck around?" Emma joked, "Or maybe my ex will be begging to get back together tomorrow. Besides, those things are expensive!" But fate has a sense of humor, because that message? It accidentally got sent to her new boss, who just happens to be the ex in question-Owen. Owen's response: "Less daydreaming, more working." Not long after, Emma decides to give dating another try and starts seeing someone new. But after their first date, she finds herself blocked at her doorstep. Owen, leaning against her wall like he's running a board meeting, orders, "Break up with him." Emma scoffs, "And why exactly should I?" Owen, clearly thinking he's found the perfect reason, says, "His aura's off. The guy's bad luck for you." Thus begins their second-chance romance-a journey of reconnection, love, and the classic "chase," where the tables have turned, and this time, it's Owen who might just lose it all.

Some people feel new when you meet them. Jordan Mosley didn't. He felt like remembering. From the moment he stepped onto the school bus and locked eyes with Maya Ellis, something shifted. Their connection was instant-quiet, intense, familiar in a way that didn't make sense yet. What starts as stolen glances and soft conversations turns into late-night phone calls, warm hoodies, driveway Saturdays, and the kind of first love that makes everything in the world feel different. But love isn't the only thing growing. The more Jordan cares, the more scared he becomes. Everyone sees them. Everyone talks. And the boy who walked her home every day... suddenly doesn't know if he deserves her. One kiss. One goodbye. One heartbreak that feels bigger than both of them. This is a story of a girl he never forgot. A boy she never un-loved. And a connection that pulled them together... even when fear pushed them apart. A soft, slow-burn YA romance about first love, first fear, and the boy your heart somehow already knew.

When Elias, a reclusive young man deathly allergic to sunlight, spends his nights alone behind drawn curtains, he never expects his new neighbor, Rowan, to notice him through the window they share. What begins as silent waves and scribbled notes pressed to the glass turns into midnight calls, secret visits, and a love that exists only in the dark. But when the truth about Elias's condition, and Rowan's own hidden struggles, comes to light, both must face what it really means to love someone you can never fully reach.

She didn't plan to fall apart, but maybe breaking was the only way to find something real. Between the quiet corners of Rome and the noise of New York, she begins to piece herself back together, one memory, one heartbeat, one hour at a time. Tender Hours is a story about love that lingers, loss that reshapes you, and the beauty of beginning again. #1 ArtGallery - 24 Nov #1 WomenWriters - 24 Nov #89 NewYork out of 30.9K stories - 24 Nov

Lily is a cowgirl and Luke is a local bar tender

Volume 1 and only Written by No One You Need to Know

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.
