"Bridget Jones with a lot more wine! This story is hilarious, feel-good and relatable in all the best ways!" - Grace K @ HQ. She's just quit her high-flying job, and her marriage is coasting on fumes. Can Alice find a sense of purpose in the wreckage? ***** Alice's life isn't going to plan. She's tied to her phone, pointlessly managing PR for a sinking corporate megalith. She's become a bit player in her kids' lives, and her marriage is coasting on fumes. Forcing herself into action with a rash resignation, Alice sets out to make a positive impact on the world around her. But how? Meditation leads to napping, and her attempts to get closer to her teenage daughter result in the discovery of a secret that leaves her at a loss. As the months tick by and a sense of purpose continues to elude her, Alice finds herself forming bonds with the most unlikely characters: the young woman who panhandles outside her old office; the homeless boy who sits cross-legged outside the liquor store with his ginger cat; her own dog walker who, it turns out, knows a thing or two about developing a good crema. Testing the limits of marriage, motherhood and the Toronto subway system -- can Alice find her way into a purpose-driven life? Or will it all be one giant hangover?

"...the new Bridget Jones, a working woman's take on the digital age." About the Author: Working mother and red wine enthusiast, Renee lives in Toronto with her flawed but wonderful family (seriously, who left socks on the kitchen counter?) in a flawed but wonderful house (what *is* that smell in the basement?) where she writes flawed but wonderful stories about what it is to be a woman today.

Based around the 2026 World Cup. The world is watching France chase football's greatest prize. Michael Olise arrives at the World Cup carrying the weight of a nation's expectations, determined to let his football do the talking. Quiet, guarded and more comfortable in the background than the spotlight, he's focused on one thing: bringing the trophy home. Across the lobby of the French team's Boston base camp, Andrea is fighting a very different battle. Once surrounded by comfort in London, she's traded certainty for ambition, working as a hotel receptionist while chasing her dream of a career as a Sports Agent in America. To everyone else, she looks like she has it all. Only she knows how much she's sacrificed to get here. A brief exchange at reception is nothing more than a passing moment. Or so they think. Their two worlds collide to create the purest love they'd ever known....

FBI Special Agent Y/N is sent undercover to investigate the world's biggest pop star: Michael Jackson. Her mission is simple. Gain his trust. Write your reports. Find the truth. The Bureau believes multiple suspicious leads justify opening Case File MJ-85-01. But the man she meets is nothing like the one described in the file. As every new report blurs the line between duty and truth, one rule becomes harder to follow... Don't let him know who you really are. And whatever you do... don't fall for him. A story inspired by an alternate timeline.

Everyone knows not to be outside once the sun goes down if they want to avoid the werewolves. Therron Chase has always been afraid of the wolves, so much so, that he makes sure to give himself more than an hour to get home from work. One evening, however, his car has a flat and he is forced to try to make it home on foot. He ends up outside after dark for the first time in a long time-but that's when the truth is learned. Werewolves are closer to you than you might think. Enter Sheriff Dan Barkas who has werewolf troubles of his own.

Isabel and Louis were born to be frenemies. For as long as they can remember, their bond was built on sharp banter, endless competition, and a golden rule: the more you hate, the more you love. Pero habang laro lang ang lahat para kay Louis, si Isabel ay unti-unti nang nahuhulog sa kanya. Terrified of rejection, she kept her unrequited feelings locked away behind every argument. Then, life pulled them apart. Eight years later, muli silang pinagtagpo ng tadhana. They're no longer the kids who fought in the neighborhood, but the moment their eyes meet, the old sparks immediately reignite. As old rivalries flare up, Isabel finds herself fighting the same internal battle-protecting her heart or finally exposing the secret she's carried for nearly a decade. Can eight years of distance change a lifetime of mixed signals, o may mga pag-ibig talaga na nakatadhanang manatiling hindi nasasabi?

At 25, Lilianne "Lily" Mendoza has already made a name for herself as the youngest Managing Director of A&J Event Productions. Driven, creative, and fiercely independent, she's determined to prove that her success comes from hard work-not from carrying the Mendoza surname. Across the boardroom sits her greatest challenge. At 27, Zachary Yap, the brilliant yet intimidating CEO of Yap Hospitality & Developments, is known for turning luxury hotels into industry icons. Cold, calculating, and impossible to impress, he believes business should always come before emotions. When their companies are forced into an exclusive partnership for the country's most prestigious luxury hotel, every meeting becomes a battlefield. She fights with passion. He argues with logic. Neither of them is willing to lose. But behind the heated debates, lingering stares, and undeniable chemistry lies a connection neither expected. As deadlines grow tighter and the lines between business and personal begin to blur, Lily and Zachary discover that the hardest negotiations aren't made across a conference table... ...they're made by the heart. Will they continue fighting to prove who's right? Or will they finally agree on the one thing that truly matters? Because sometimes, the greatest deal you'll ever make... is with the person you never planned to love.

When journalist Clara Bennett lands her first job in a busy newsroom, she expects ordinary stories and tight deadlines. Instead, she's given a single assignment: find a library that officially doesn't exist. No records. No location. Only rumors. People claim they've seen it. Some say they've been inside. None of their stories match. As Clara begins to investigate, the details start to shift. Sources go silent. Clues disappear. And the deeper she digs, the more the story begins to feel... wrong. Because this isn't just a place that's hidden. It's a place that shouldn't be found. And once it finds you- you might not find your way back.

It's never been a secret that Samantha Harris didn't need a man. In fact, ever since her ex left her for another woman she has done everything to make sure that her kids Colton and Gracie have it all. Quitting her dream career to wait tables was never in her game plan, but it gave her the freedom she needed to be a parent first. So what happens when her friend sets her up on a series of blind dates?

She came to Madrid to find herself. She never expected to find him. To the world, Jude Bellingham was everything they wanted him to be: talented, admired, and impossible to ignore. But to her, he was just the stranger who ruined her perfect photograph. She didn't care about his fame. She didn't care about the attention that followed him everywhere. And maybe that was exactly why he couldn't stop thinking about her. Two people. One city. A story neither of them saw coming. A Moment in Madrid.

Shivansh Singhania was known for two things: power and coldness. Then came Aadhira Subramaniam-the girl who somehow treated him like more than just the man everyone feared. What begins with an unexpected proposal slowly turns into something neither of them saw coming. Little moments. Unfamiliar feelings. And a relationship that may not stay hidden forever. What happens when sunshine enters the life of a man who has spent years surrounded by walls? Well... let's see if she really becomes his home. 🤍

Every night at exactly **11:00 PM**, millions tune in to **98.3 FM** to hear the soothing voice of RJ Mira-a woman whose words comfort broken hearts, lonely souls, and sleepless dreamers. Among those listeners is **Arjun Dev**, the young and successful CEO of one of the country's largest companies. To the world, he's cold, untouchable, and impossible to impress. But every night, he becomes just another anonymous listener, finding peace in the voice of a woman he's never seen. He doesn't know her face. She doesn't know his name. Yet somewhere between late-night conversations, heartfelt confessions, and anonymous messages, two strangers begin to fall in love-not with appearances, but with the souls behind the voices. Fate, however, has its own plans. When Arjun's company partners with Mira's radio station for a major project, they finally meet... as complete strangers. By day, they're professional acquaintances navigating meetings, deadlines, and unexpected clashes. By night, they're each other's safe place, sharing secrets through anonymous identities without realizing they're already a part of each other's lives. How long can love hide behind a voice? What happens when the frequency they've trusted finally reveals the truth? Because sometimes... The heart recognizes a soul long before the eyes recognize a face.

[ excerpt] I've been working at this hellhole since junior year, prioritizing covering shifts over studying and socializing so I'd have enough money for college. Turns out I wildly underestimated the cost of tuition and overestimated my work ethic. So now I'm twenty minutes from everything I've been trying to escape. In my new apartment, sandwiched between my old high school that I happily abandoned after graduation, and the restaurant that barely manages to pay my rent.
