He's charming, reckless, impossible to ignore... and exactly the kind of trouble she promised herself to avoid. As Nina fights to survive the brutal modeling industry, builds new friendships, and tries to find her place in a city that never stops moving, one question keeps echoing through the noise: Will she be strong enough to stay true to herself - or will she lose herself in the very dream she came here to chase?

*EDITS ONGOING* Katinka thought the world was small. A cabin. Her mother. Silence. She was wrong. Taken from the only life she's ever known, she's forced to travel with men she doesn't trust, through a world that no longer plays by any rules she understands. Some are kind. Some are dangerous. Some are both. And as the road leads them toward a place where survival is controlled by power, Katinka begins to realise- being safe and being owned are not the same thing. In a world where people become what they must to survive... What will she become?

In the tranquil waters of Hawai'i, Hokulani and Nikau wonder if it's possible for a song to go on forever. ***** For as long as Hokulani can remember, she's always felt like she's treading water. Everything she loves becomes a means to escape from what's happening around her or, worse, the unsteadiness of her mind. She even finds her passion for music slipping through her grasp, though she tries her best not to completely let that go. And even though the arrival of an up-and-coming musician from Aotearoa causes waves, she's unable to fully enjoy her life. Unable to release that breath she feels like she's been holding onto ever since her father passed away. When her family is hit with complicated news, the Kahananui woman must make difficult decisions for themselves, including one Hokulani isn't sure she fully understands. But even when their choices are made, they bring up memories they've all been trying their best to forget, forcing them to face the reality deep inside the family's hearts. Hokulani takes refuge in the comfort her shared feelings with Nikau bring, but just because she wants something, doesn't mean it's enough. She knows she has a lot to work through on her own, and with the understanding that his year on the island will eventually come to an end, the two of them spend endless nights wondering if they can somehow make a song go on forever. ***** 2025 AMBYS GRAND FAVORITE | contemporary 2025 ASTANIA AWARDS FIRST PLACE WINNER | wild card » featured on @wattpad @romance @ContemporaryLit @SocialThemes and @Ambassadors « All rights reserved © Stephanie Midorii, smidorii

"After a mysterious accident, I wake up in a hospital with no memory of my past. The man claiming to be my husband seems too good to be true. The apartment's residents are all strange and weird. Now, I must uncover my lost memories and the truths around me before it's too late in this apocalypse."

Alessia and Angel have known each other forever, but Angel was never meant to exist. The young man is an hybrid --half-human, half-animal. Descended from soldiers created during the war, people like him are feared, hunted, and erased before they can pose a threat to civilians. At twenty-one, the young couple is almost done with their studies, trying to live a normal life. Angel made sure to stay invisible and not draw attention. He knows it wouldn't take much to expose the truth. And if the secret comes out, it won't only destroy his future. It will cost him his life. And maybe Alessia's, too.

Angel a été capturé, détenu quelque part dans les couloirs du Centre, et faussement accusé de son enlèvement. De retour chez elle, Alessia doit reprendre une vie normale. Elle tente désespérément de trouver quelque chose qui puisse permettre sa libération, mais elle est à présent surveillée de près. L'histoire a fait grand bruit, et elle se retrouve malgré elle figure de proue de la lutte contre les hybrides, alors que de nouvelles mesures contre eux sont mises en place. Lorsque les hybrides rétorquent avec violence, Alessia devra choisir son camp.

Alessia et Angel se connaissent depuis toujours, mais Angel n'était jamais supposé exister. Le jeune homme est un hybride --mi-humain, mi-animal. Descendant des dangereux soldats créés pendant la guerre, les gens comme lui sont craints, traqués, et supprimés avant qu'ils ne puissent constituer une menace envers les civils. À vingt-et-un ans, le jeune couple a presque terminé ses études et tente de mener une vie normale. Angel a toujours veillé à rester discret et à ne pas attirer l'attention. Il sait qu'il suffirait de peu pour que la vérité éclate au grand jour. Et que si le secret venait à être révélé, cela ne détruirait pas seulement son avenir. Cela lui coûterait la vie. Et peut-être celle d'Alessia, aussi.
