Madisen and Noah unexpectedly wind up as roommates in Viña del Mar, Chile when Noah's host family drops out of the exchange program. Sweet, gorgeous and down-to-Earth Madisen is happy to share her living quarters with a familiar friend, unaware that Noah has harbored a massive crush on her for over a year. With his reserved and unemotional exterior, Noah manages to mask his ever-ripening feelings for Madisen, who is accustomed to ignoring and evading most male attention. Navigating cultural mishaps, communication challenges and an unfamiliar, somewhat disorganized university system together, the pair quickly grow close. After reflecting on things from a different perspective-quite literally, upside down-during one picturesque afternoon at a vineyard, Madisen begins to consider whether her deep fondness for Noah could mean something more.

How long is a lifetime? For Luc, it stretches far beyond human reckoning. As punishment for a crime that shook the foundations of the world he once belonged to, he is now condemned to walk the earth among mortals. Luc has carved out a vast empire for himself through both respectable ventures and shadowed dealings, but none of it brings him peace. One rain-slicked evening, from the balcony outside his favored courtesan's room at the infamous Bessie's brothel, Luc watches a line of enslaved girls being dragged in. Among them, a girl with hair like the sunset and fire in her eyes is struck for resisting. Something ancient stirs within him. On a not-so-uncharacteristic impulse, Luc decides to buy her. ... Aida, stolen from a faraway land, is young, bruised, and burning with defiance. Her presence was never meant to matter, but soon she becomes more than a passing distraction and inconvenience to Luc. She cracks something long buried in his soul: a memory of grace, a glimpse of light, a pull toward something he thought lost forever. Forced to share a living arrangement neither of them truly understands, their constant clashes breed awkwardness, tension, unexpected moments of humor, and something more. Can two broken souls, worlds apart, save each other from the darkness they were never meant to endure alone? *This story is original fiction with Luc as the main character, set in an alternative Victorian era. It is intended to be the prequel/spin-off to 'Until The End Of Time', where Luc played a major part toward the end. Slavery is depicted.

"Things that are special, though temporary, tend to last longer in our memories," Kaito says. Zoe recalls the Hanami party that they had and everything that has happened since she arrived. She remembers every detail perfectly. She nods slowly. "You're right. Perhaps because we know that it may not happen again, so we treasure it," Zoe pauses, and with a sad smile, she adds, "Like this exchange program." "Like this moment." ****** Life has been easy for Zoe. She names it, she gets it. Clothes? Done. Shoes? Done. But things that matter like freedom? Nah-uh.

Featured on @Romance and @Ambassadors Cover art by the fabulous @LNRoberts1. It's 2019 and university student, Olivia O'Shea, doesn't possess the luck of the Irish as her name might suggest. Instead, she's feeling like she might just be the unluckiest girl on the planet. Her high school sweetheart, Daniel Burns, whom she continued to date in college, was found with his fingers, and a few other more salacious body parts in someone else's cookie jar. Now it's summer vacation and Olivia is back in her hometown licking her wounds and trying to forget it all. At their old high school's international food festival, Olivia runs into Daniel with his new girlfriend, and a storm is definitely brewing. But this storm is a real one with thunder, lightning and rain, and Olivia, caught out in the open, is suddenly struck by lightning. She wakes up in the high school infirmary only to find that she's been transported back to high school with the chance to do it all over again. Olivia is determined to ditch Daniel, in spite of his stubborn advances, and instead tries to rekindle an old flame with the shy introverted Jack Garcia, with whom she'd shared one very spectacular kiss back in high school. As Olivia attempts to pursue Jack, Daniel keeps getting in the way and frustrating her plans. Can she really change her future for the better, or is history only meant to repeat itself? If you liked the iconic 1980s rom-com Peggy Sue Got Married, then you'll love this modern retelling of the classic, time-travel, do-over, second chance at love.

"If our eyes get blurred due to cataracts, we can clear them through eye surgery. But what can we do if we suffer from a cataract of delusion?" ___________________________________ Olivia Whitley had always believed her life was picture-perfect - until she uncovered the devastating truth: her first love, Vinson, had been in love with their childhood friend, Leo. Out of loyalty, Olivia had agreed to a sham marriage with Leo, sacrificing her own happiness to protect them from societal judgment and their families wrath. But her sacrifices had thrust her into a web of betrayal and deceit, culminating in a shocking outcome - seven years in prison for crimes she hadn't committed. Manipulated by those she trusted most, she was left haunted by memories of love, loss, and devastating secrets. After her release, Olivia embarked on a dangerous journey to uncover the conspiracy that had destroyed her life. As she dug into long-buried truths and questioned everything she once believed, she faced a terrifying reality. Could she unmask the culprits and discover the truth, or would she drown in the sea of delusion - a world her mind had created to shield her from unbearable pain? As the lines between reality and delusion blurred, Olivia had to decide: would she fight for justice, or lose herself to the darkness forever? ___________________________________ 🏳️‍🌈 🌈 🏳️‍🌈 LGBT 🏳️‍🌈 🌈 🏳️‍🌈 👿👿 Conspiracy 👿👿 🕵️‍♀️ Strong Female Lead 🕵️‍♀️ 🎢 Emotional Rollercoaster 🎢 ___________________________________ This Novel is exclusively available on WATTPAD Copyright, 2023 - 2025 © S.

"We could just . . . *do it*, you know," he says now, teasingly. "Clear all that sexual tension up with one quick ten minute session?" I seriously hope he's joking, but I'm not certain he is. Either way, I can't prevent the exasperated huff of laughter that escapes my lips at those words. "You must be dreaming if you think there's *any* sexual tension between us," I scoff. "Anyway, I'd rather not be another notch on your bedpost, thanks very much." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ruby Rafferty has won the ultimate prize - a luxury holiday in Crete! In theory, it couldn't be more perfect - endless sun, Greek food, an unlimited free bar . . . There's only one problem. The man she has no choice but to share the prize with. Lewis Sheridan may be ridiculously attractive, but he is also cocky, cynical, and comes complete with his own specific set of red flags. He's everything Ruby has never wanted in a guy, and she's not sure she can survive *one* day alone with him, let alone ten. It's *fine*, though . . . Their suite is massive, the cocktails are flowing, and Ruby can't help but notice how handsome and charming the hotel manager is. If only he didn't think she and Lewis were already a couple . . . Will forced proximity push our vacationers closer or further apart? Can enemies really become lovers? And what will happen if anyone realises they're technically on holiday under false pretences? I guess we're about to find out . . . Cover by @jspromcoms

Nymphs weren't always extinct. As an always-yearning dryad nymph, Amalfi should have been gallivanting with heroes and dipping in crystal waters. She should've been a poet's muse, a deity's follower, or an alluring beauty causing delirious madness in lovers--instead, she's fighting for her life with no end in sight. Something is making monsters and bloodthirsty beasts descend on Campania, strangely mad and insatiably crazed. Amalfi's overwhelmed. Even if her heart would allow her to abandon her home, there's no easy escape through the unforgiving cliffs or the perilous political unease nearby. Then there's the strange man who washed up on shore, grievously injured and half-drowned. He can't remember a thing--and now he's as stuck as she is. -------------------------- He was once somebody. He knows that. Deep down, he knows he was once somebody great, somebody mighty. He must have been. He was surely important; his body is littered with scars of battle, his arms feel uncertain without the grip of a blade, and his reflexes are too sharp and electric for mundane living. But who he was and who he wasn't, if he was ever anyone at all, isn't his to know these days. He doesn't even know his real name. He only remembers a ship. A strike of lightning. A beautiful nymph chasing him off the beach he'd washed up on. Recovering from battles he can't remember, he finds himself at her mercy. For all he knows, he's running, hiding from the gods. But there's no hiding from monsters. *An extremely loose adaptation of various mythologies and apparent tourist marketing. Historical timelines and regional names do not line up. Mature.

Yusuf was cool and supposedly composed, committed to working hard. Or at least, that was the plan until Asiya bumped into him. When they first met as classmates, age and circumstance kept them apart. But when Yusuf spotted Asiya again, almost five years later, he wasted no time confessing his admiration-kicking off a marriage full of trials, insecurities, and other forces determined to tear them apart.
