New to town, cocky and frustratingly handsome, and far to quick with sarcastic comments.

On the night her mother and brother are killed, she survives by accident AND by decision. Moved across the country under protective relocation, she arrives in New York injured, grieving, and dependant on her estranged father. Her body no longer moves the way it used to with pain replacing certainty. Standing is something she negotiates, not assumes. Nothing is simple anymore. As investigations drag on and the threats shift, she begins to understand that protection is not always benevolent and that survival is negotiated in silence. When she crosses paths with a man whose authority is unmistakable and whose restraint is unsettling, she realises he knows more about her survival than anyone has admitted. What begins as a search for answers becomes something far more dangerous: a connect built not on rescue, but by choice with full knowledge of the cost.

One thing one could say about Arthur Ashford is that no place had ever kept him long enough to become his home. So when he returns to London for his brother's funeral, he expects grief, awkward relatives, and a quick departure. Instead, he finds Kathe-the widow. She is composed. Elegant. Entirely too in control for a woman who has just buried her husband. Naturally, Arthur decides this is none of his concern. Unfortunately, he keeps noticing things. A leather agenda that makes no sense. A household that runs too smoothly. A widow who always seems to be exactly where she should be-no more, no less. And the more he looks, the worse it gets. Because suspicion is inconvenient. Attraction is worse. And Kathe is both. Arthur tells himself he is imagining things. Unfortunately, he has never been good at leaving things alone.

Under a rain-heavy London sky, two strangers collide-not by chance, but by consequence.

Cassie Bertarelli dies- and wakes up inside the fantasy novel she used to obsess over as a teenager. As the villainess. Elodie Valmont: beautiful noble daughter, professional social disaster, future dead girl. According to the story, her role in life is very simple: obsess over the Crown Prince, make everyone miserable, then die dramatically and clear the way for the real heroine. Elodie decides almost immediately that this sounds deeply embarrassing for everyone involved. Especially her. But avoiding the plot becomes a lot harder when the fantasy world around her turns out to be far too interesting to ignore. Because the kingdom is filled with dragons, glowing gardens, living magic, dangerous politics, impossible creatures, and people who feel far too real to remain side characters in somebody else's story. And unfortunately for fate- Elodie has never been very good at standing still while things fall apart around her. And while the plot twists into something darker and loyalties begin to fracture, Elodie finds herself standing alone between a kingdom that doesn't understand her... and a war that was always coming. Because this time- She isn't playing the villain. She's fighting one. Content Note: Slow burn. Sharp tongues.

With nothing but a road atlas and a finger pointed at a map, she ends up in Penmarris Cove-a tiny, salt-swept village on the edge of the world. But running away is only the beginning. As the "Grey" begins to fade and Samantha picks up her paintbrushes for the first time in years, she realises that the secrets of the Cove run as deep as the sea itself. One woman. One betrayal. And a second chance at a life full of colour.

Kira has a system. It involves observation, data collection, and very clear rules, especially Rule #1: Do not let Ethan Fletcher get too close. Which shouldn't be a problem. Ethan is loud, chaotic, and deeply committed to being the most annoying person in her life. He climbs things he shouldn't climb, says things he shouldn't say, and does things he shouldn't do. Now, for reasons that are still unclear, he has a project he swears only Kira can help him with. There's a spreadsheet. There are rules. There are objectives. (There are also several suspicious attempts to add "kissing" to all of them.) Kira is determined to keep things under control. Friendly. Logical. Safe. Because Ethan is... well, Ethan. The guy next door. Her best friend's brother. The son her father never had. Practically family. Definitely not someone she wants to kiss. Right?

And the undeniable fact that Zadie has never wanted anyone quite the way she wants him. But Auden left once before. And falling for him again might be the biggest structural failure of her career. Romance Under Renovation is a slow-burn workplace romance featuring forced proximity, second chances, family meddling, witty banter, emotional tension, and a hero who has spent years trying-and failing-to forget the woman who still feels like home.

I accidentally almost killed someone with magic. My mother disappeared right after. And now I'm stuck in England with the grandmother she spent sixteen years warning me about. Tabetha Clarke is rich, terrifying, suspiciously wrinkle-free, and lives in a mansion full of silent servants who disappear when nobody's looking. Literally. Then there's the cat. The demon accusations. The midnight exorcisms. And the tiny little issue of my magic feeding off living things. Apparently, that's bad. Now everyone's acting like I'm either destined to become the most powerful witch in the family... or the reason it finally destroys itself. Personally, I'd just like one normal day and maybe a waffle that doesn't come with emotional trauma.

Let's just say it's complicated. A story of second chances, unresolved feelings, and the fine line between love and heartbreak-because sometimes, closure isn't the end. It's just the beginning.

(Completely Re-Mastered) Everyone underestimates Kai Wolf-and that's their first mistake. At just 4'9", she's easy to overlook. Easy to dismiss. Easy to regret. Because Kai isn't just small-she's sharp-tongued, hot-tempered, and more than capable of taking down anyone who thinks they can push her around. She's spent her whole life proving people wrong, and so far, no one has been able to match her fire. Until him. Ashor Blair rules the town without question. He's untouchable, unchallenged-the kind of man no one dares cross. At least, not until Kai shows up and bulldozes straight into his world. From the moment they meet, sparks fly-and not the soft, romantic kind. They clash. They argue. They drive each other insane. Neither willing to back down. Neither used to losing. But while Kai thinks she's finally found someone worthy of the fight, Ashor knows something she doesn't. A secret that changes everything. Because whether she accepts it or not... Kai Wolf is his mate.
