    Zara's voice trembled. "Easy... it's too much, I've..... I've never done this before" as Yasmin thrusts inside her. Yasmin's chest heaved, her mind spinning with weeks of frustration and betrayal. Nara had ignored her, pushed her away while Yasmin had given everything love, care, devotion. And now, with Zara before her, all of that anger and longing ignited. "I... I can't stop, it's so warm and .... Arrgghh I can't fit in....stay still" Yasmin demanded peeling Zara's thighs open, her voice low, almost feral, eyes locking on Zara's. She didn't want to, either. Zara's hands gripped her tightly, the tension between them electric, dangerous. Fear, excitement, and something more twisted danced in Zara's eyes. She was trembling not from pain, but from the intensity, the rawness of it all. The room was thick with heat and tension. Yasmin's hands moved with a possessive urgency, desperate to feel, desperate to release. Every restraint, every rule, every careful facade she'd built melted away. She lost herself in Zara's warmth, in the chaos of the moment, in the dangerous thrill of desire that bordered on obsession. By the time it ended, both were breathing hard, eyes wide, hearts pounding. Yasmin leaned back, letting the tension drain slowly, the room quiet except for their ragged breaths. For a moment, neither moved. "You... you're insane," Zara whispered, a nervous smile tugging at her lips. "And you... you're irresistible," Yasmin replied, her tone dark and husky. "Be careful, Zara. I don't stop for anyone."

    Book One of The Once Trilogy Rylee thought she had already lost the love of her life. When her fiancé, Diego, left the country for work, silence followed. Believing he had moved on, Rylee forced herself to let go-until a single conversation with his mother shattered everything she thought she knew. Diego wasn't moving on. He was flying home to her. He never arrived. On the night grief finally breaks her, a violent thunderstorm drives Rylee into an abandoned café-an empty place frozen in time. Seeking shelter in its cold, dark cooler room, she waits for the storm to pass. But when she steps back out, the world has changed. The café is warm. Alive. And Diego is standing there-breathing, real, and impossibly alive. Pulled into a parallel world where the tragedy never happened, Rylee is given the one thing she never thought she'd have again: a second chance. But love reborn across worlds comes with rules, and not all miracles are meant to last. Because some loves don't end. They fracture reality instead.

    They were Hollywood's best-kept secret, until she made sure there was nothing left to keep. When Vera Ashford fell in love with her co-star on the set of Skybound, she hated herself for it. It was predictable. Embarrassingly cliché. The kind of story everyone expected and she refused to become. So she kept it hidden, even as her feelings deepened and the lines between performance and reality blurred. Sasha Renaud was there, always just out of reach, and loving him quietly felt safer than admitting she had become exactly what the tabloids would mock. Years later, Vera agrees to a biography meant to reclaim her narrative, tracing her rise, her sudden disappearance, and the version of herself the public never understood. What she does not anticipate is how much of that story is still tied to the man she never allowed herself to claim. Their relationship lived in the margins, shaped by silence and misread distance. When grief pulled Sasha inward and Vera felt herself disappearing, she vanished first, leaving behind a career, a love, and a past she told herself she was finished with. Five years later, the Skybound sequel brings them back together just as the biography begins to circulate. The fans are waiting. The cameras are everywhere. And the story Vera agreed to tell is no longer hers alone. What was once private is now impossible to ignore. He wants to know why she left. She wants to know why he never came after her. What unfolds is not a simple love story. With the truth closing in and the world watching, they must decide whether the love they kept secret can survive being seen.

    JUST AS LONG, AS YOU STAND... STAND BY ME. June Caulfield is a very simple person, thank you very much. She likes sunny days, old music, messing with her sister, going out with her best friend, playing chess with her grandpa, taking long walks with the dogs she takes care of for her neighbours... She loves little big things. George Weasley was a very simple person. He liked his school, Hogwarts, and his family, especially his twin, Fred. But school ended and Fred's not there anymore. He's not been there for... what, seven months now? He died in the battle of Hogwarts. Sometimes George forgets. He turns around and Fred's not there. There isn't his warm laugh in the air, or his cheeky grin by his side. George lost his spark. But June is a literal fire, and George's about to get burnt. ★ Copyright goes to J.K.

    There are three events that have haunted me for years. Not weeks. Not months. Years. Some of the memories come in fragments, like a flickering film reel, unreliable and frayed. Others come back with brutal clarity, sharp enough to cut through the quiet moments of my day. But no matter how they arrive, one thing has always remained the same: they come back. Every damn day. Not once have I made it through twenty-four hours without one of them clawing its way into my thoughts. They're stitched into the fabric of who I am now as unwanted visitors, but ones I've learned to live with, like scars you forget are there until someone touches them.

    Some stories aren't about love. They're about timing. He comes from a life where emotions are measured and dreams are postponed. Careful, quiet, and guarded, he never believed love was meant for him. Then a simple conversation changes everything. Too Late to Give is a slow-burn, emotional romance about unspoken feelings, quiet sacrifice, and the cost of waiting too long.

    She comes home believing it's the same night she left-bruised, shaken, asking about butter and planning a shower-only to find a house that feels older, quieter, wrong. Her family looks at her like she might vanish if they breathe too hard. Slowly, unbearably, the truth emerges: she has been dead for five years. No one knows how she returned. There is no miracle to explain, no science to cling to-only the wreckage of a life mourned, a family reshaped by loss, and a town that learned how to move on without her. As she tries to understand a world that grieved her and closed the door, her return begins to disturb something deeper beneath the surface-an unseen thread connecting past and present, memory and meaning, drawing in forces that have been watching far longer than anyone realises. The Night Skye Came Home is a quiet, devastating mystery about love that never lets go, grief that changes shape, and what happens when the dead refuse to stay where the world put them.

    Everyone calls it a suicide. But at her best friend's funeral, she feels the weight of something unfinished. Back in the empty house, she finds a diary her friend kept hidden. Its pages are filled with loneliness, small confessions, and a quiet attachment to a boy who lived next door. Someone who listened. Someone who stayed. Only no one else remembers him. As she reads, grief turns into doubt, and doubt into fear. The house feels less empty. The diary feels less like a goodbye. And the silence around her begins to feel... attentive. Because some people don't leave when they're gone. And some truths don't want to be seen.
