How far would you go to protect the ones you love? A successful architect with a promising career in London, Brian's world spins out of control when the man he always saw as a second father betrays him in the most unexpected way. Left without closure, a year has passed and Brian is now more determined than ever to undo the harm done to the ones he loves most, his family. Even if that means riding the thin line between justice, revenge, and obsession... Immersed in his resolve, finding love again was the last thing on his mind. Until fate steps in and a chance encounter changes everything. Meeting Olivia again so unexpectedly, at his best friend's wedding, stirs up memories he had long ago put away. She'd been his first love, his kindred spirit - and the woman who left him without saying so much as a goodbye. Which doesn't make him want her less. He knows it, the moment she locks her deep green eyes on his. Even knowing it might be too late to repair what's been once broken, Brian refuses to lose her again and sets out to find a way back to her heart. But it's been more than ten years since their story was left unfinished. Will they get one last chance to make things right? Or will Brian learn that sometimes justice comes at too high a price? *** NOTE TO READERS: A full-length, standalone contemporary romance, Where the Stars Fall was previously published on Wattpad as Falling Home.

Love Spilled Like Coffee {Completed} by lunarawrites
22 parts Complete
Damian Blackwood is a man who has everything-wealth, power, and an unshakable reputation as a ruthless CEO. Love? He never believed in it. To him, emotions were distractions, and relationships were nothing more than business transactions. But everything changes one morning when he accidentally spills coffee on a stranger at a café. Ella Carter, with her soft eyes and warm smile, isn't like the people he's used to. She doesn't fawn over his status or try to impress him. Instead, she simply cleans the mess, gives him a polite nod, and walks away-leaving him utterly captivated. For fifteen days, Damian returns to the café at the same time, just to see her from afar. He doesn't know why. He doesn't even know her name. But something about her makes his carefully controlled world feel unsteady. Then fate takes control. Ella walks into Blackwood Enterprises for an interview, only to realize the man from the café-the one who had been haunting her thoughts-is her new boss. Damian is thrilled but keeps his emotions locked away, offering her the job with a professional mask. As they spend more time together, the tension between them grows. Damian finds himself breaking his own rules, drawn to the warmth and kindness Ella brings into his cold, calculated world. Ella, in turn, sees glimpses of the man beneath the powerful CEO-one who's afraid to love, but even more afraid of losing her. Will Damian finally let go of his fears and embrace the love he never believed in? Or will his hesitation cost him the one thing he never knew he needed? A heartfelt, slow-burn romance about fate, unexpected love, and the power of simple moments that change everything.

For years, Righley fought a losing battle against the bullies who made her life a nightmare. No matter how strong she tried to be, she always ended up bruised, beaten, and alone. But one day while going home after getting beaten up, she crossed paths with her mother-whose quiet yet intense anger spoke louder than any words. That night, her mother came home with unexpected news, "Pack your things. We're leaving." Without explanation, Righley was uprooted from everything she knew and thrown into a world that made no sense-a prestigious academy for the wealthy elite. Academy for Cultivating Excellence in Higher Intelligence (A.C.E.H.I.) was unlike any school she had ever seen, filled with heirs, geniuses, and future tycoons. But the biggest mystery of all? How did she even get in? They weren't rich. She never applied for a scholarship. And yet, here she was. As she struggles to adjust to this new school, two unexpected figures enter her life- Acier Riane Romero, the cold yet brilliant basketball star, and Jeremiah Xander Dawson, the laid-back troublemaker who never seems to take anything seriously. In this new world, Righley will face jealousy, rivalry, and hidden agendas. She'll discover friendship, adventure, and maybe even love. But nothing can prepare her for the truth buried in her past-the truth her mother has been hiding all along. Who is she? What is the secret that brought her to this school? And will she be ready to face it when the truth finally comes to light?
