Adrasteia 'Teia' Cloto arrives in Naples believing all she needs is a vacation. And to finish her master's thesis on an expedited schedule. What Teia doesn't need is for four matchmaking retirees to arrange a blind date before she's even unpacked. Then, she meets Alden Colle. Worldly, charming, and mildly infuriating, Alden is a serious writer with a slight obsession with Greek mythology. One date turns into two, then three... They sail the Neapolitan coastline, wander ancient ruins, and fall into a connection Teia has no sensible way to explain. Around Alden, Naples feels oddly familiar. Hidden frescoes come alive. Mirrors show glimpses of another reality. And when he speaks of Theseus, Alden's sadness feels a little too personal. On their final night, Alden makes her a promise: Naxos. Two years. Five years later, Teia has a successful career, a dependable fiancé, and no intention of dwelling on Alden Colle again, especially when her ancient dating history suggests men like him rarely keep their promises. But when Teia returns to Italy, the past begins tugging at threads she thought she had severed, and Alden is waiting at the other end. Now Teia must decide whether to protect the sensible life she has built or risk everything for a love story Fate has been retelling for thousands of years. *** Water and Sand is a contemporary love story that reimagines the myth of Theseus and Ariadne, where love is a labyrinth and friendship feels like the safest way out. #Wattys2026

She flew to Seville to save her family's future. She did not know what she was flying into. Kamilah Baptiste is sharp, composed, and prepared for an arranged marriage that will merge two resort empires and preserve everything her family has built. What she is not prepared for is the scale of what has already been constructed against her: a calculated campaign to make her walk away, a contract clause she was never shown that makes walking away impossible, and a man who is more dangerous because he has convinced himself he is justified. Diego Álvarez did not want this marriage. He had other plans and other loyalties. He deployed them without mercy. And he was very good at it. What neither of them planned was her. Tides of Torment is an international slow-burn romance with real darkness behind the luxury. Corporate warfare, buried secrets, psychological manipulation, betrayals from people who looked like allies, and a woman who refuses to be unmade by any of it. The story moves from the courtyards of Seville to the streets of Old Havana to the tango halls of Buenos Aires and back again, building heat slowly and deliberately until it is impossible to contain. The cruelty is real. The reckoning is real. So is what grows in the space between them when there is nothing left to hide behind. ©️ _RelleLebby_// R. L.

Some loves don't make sense. They just take over. I met him in Australia, where everything felt bigger, louder, more alive. So did he. We loved each other the way you love something you know might destroy you - completely, recklessly, without an exit plan. Then we fell apart. The distance between us wasn't just oceans and time zones. It was silence, wounds, and the kind of longing that doesn't go away no matter how hard you try to outrun it. But some stories refuse to end. You were my Australia is a memoir about intense, romantic, and toxic love - about losing yourself in someone, surviving the separation, and finding your way back to each other. It ends where it was always meant to: with a yes. A real one. A forever one.
