Heartbeats in the Blackwood

Morgan Forest

In the mist-shrouded Blackwood forest, Valerie Vane — the cold, young leader of the outlaw band Shadow Band — kidnaps Elena Thorne, a warm-hearted herbalist, as part of a scheme against a corrupt nobleman. When Valerie's father is captured by the Governor's forces, she is forced to flee deep into the forest with Elena as her only companion. Disguised as lovers, hunted at every turn, and bound by survival, the line between captor and captive begins to blur. As danger strips away every defense, two wounded souls discover that the most forbidden thing in the Blackwood is not the outlaws who hide within it — but the love growing between them.

The Cupid Contract

Pink Frog

Julian Vance, an ambitious Cupid apprentice obsessed with KPIs, needs one final successful match to earn his eternal retirement from Elysium Bureau. His last case: Chloe Bennett, a fiercely independent magazine editor cursed with a 'Jinx Aura' that brings misfortune to any man who falls for her. When a magical mishap binds them together with an unbreakable thread, Julian must survive living within two meters of the human world's most chaotic woman -- and risk everything, including his immortality, to learn that love was never something to calculate.

Starfall Covenant

starrybullet

In the northern kingdom of Auralis, the sky has been cracked for as long as anyone can remember — split open by Star Veins that bleed silver light across the dark. Every thirteen years, a Starfall comes: star fragments raining down, beautiful and lethal, hollowing out the memories of any soul they touch for too long. Elyra Vane is the last Starbinder of her bloodline — the only one who can seal the rifts, at the cost of her own memories. She has already forgotten her father's face. She is afraid that one day she will forget why she ever fought to remember at all. Caelan Drost is the captain of the Nightwardens, the soldier with platinum ash hair and no shadow. Five years ago he survived a ritual that was supposed to kill him. He has spent every day since believing he was saved by someone who loved him. He was not. He was used. When the largest Starfall in recorded history begins tearing Auralis apart, Elyra and Caelan are bound together by the Starfall Covenant — he protects her body, she protects his soul from Hollowing. But the closer they come to the truth, the more impossible it becomes to look away: the sky was never the enemy, the Hollow King is not the monster they were told, and the love growing between them was engineered from the beginning as the most perfect fuel the city’s machine has ever found. The question is not whether they were set up. The question is whether, knowing that, they choose each other anyway.

The Chrono-Tide

Ivy Pixie

In a world split by the Chrono-Tide — a force that freezes one faction of humanity for a decade while the other wakes to live — Iris and Helios have spent fifty years falling in love across time they cannot share. They speak in letters, in half-finished paintings, in garden vines that bloom a decade after they are planted. They know each other's scars without ever touching, and love each other's voices without ever hearing them. But in their fifth cycle together, Iris discovers the truth: remembering Helios too deeply is killing her. Her body is aging faster than it should, burning through time in the places where his memory lives. To save herself, she begins to erase him — cold letters, empty shelves, silence where her voice used to be. The cruel irony: the isolation she builds to survive will kill her just as surely as loving him does. When Iris breaks the one law that cannot be broken and becomes an Echo — a ghost dissolving out of existence — Helios wakes to find her standing in the room for the first time. Not in ink. Not in stone. In light. And the house around them begins to fracture, opening doors into every version of themselves they have ever been. With Iris fading day by day and Time Guardians hunting them through broken corridors of the past, Helios must carry her through a world that is trying to unmake her — toward the one place where time itself can be unmade instead.

Life, Take Two

meetmymoon

After grief empties her life in Tokyo, Koharu Mizuse returns to her grandmother's seaside laundry shop in the small town of Fuyunagi for one winter — intending only to help with the paperwork before moving on. Instead, she finds Itsuki Aonuma, an independent podcast creator who reads an entire town's sorrows every night at ten but has forgotten how to carry his own. What Koharu doesn't tell him is that his voice was the only thing that kept her from disappearing in the months after her best friend Mio died — and that Itsuki once read Mio's last letter on air without knowing she was already gone. Through four seasons of small, ordinary moments — snow and spring chores, fireflies by the river, autumn arguments, and a lantern festival in the snow — they don't save each other. They simply stay, until staying becomes something worth choosing.

The Fiancée Between Two Skies

meetmymoon

In the city of Meridian, where glass towers stand beside ancient castles and sky trains run above cobblestone streets, Aveline Corvayne has been promised to Julian Veyr — heir to the most powerful house in the city and keeper of the Meridian Engine, the machine that holds their world together. The engagement is perfect. Aveline is prepared. And then, the night before the betrothal ceremony, she sees a man in the mirror who is not Julian. He has Julian's face and a different soul entirely. He calls himself Caelan Veyr, and he comes from Nocturne Meridian — a parallel city existing beneath a violet sky, dissolving piece by piece from reality. He tells her the engagement contract she is about to sign has two layers of ink. He tells her one world is being chosen to survive. He tells her she is the one doing the choosing — whether she knows it or not. Caught between a fiancé who offers safety and a man who offers truth, between a world that is stable and a world that is dying, Aveline must unravel the conspiracy buried inside the Accord that binds her — before the machine beneath both cities makes the choice for her. Because the Meridian Engine does not care who she loves. It only cares which sky gets to remain.

Torn between the traditions he was raised on and the person he is slowly coming to know, Alan must learn that goodness doesn't always follow the rules. When the Potions Club is framed for a crime it didn't commit, the two must combine her creativity with his discipline to uncover the truth, and to find the love that was waiting beneath the memory all along.

But when he takes one of her most vulnerable memories and puts it on the page without asking, the relationship fractures.

Before Spring Goes Quiet

daydreamer

When sound conservation student Sera Lin — quietly losing her hearing to a progressive condition she refuses to name aloud — sets out to record one hundred sounds of spring before her world goes silent, the last thing she needs is Riku Han. He is loud, clumsy, and responsible for destroying the most irreplaceable recording she owns. But the debt he offers to repay pulls them into each other’s orbits: through rain-soaked afternoons and festival rehearsals, late nights in the repair lab and arguments on a blue-tiled stairway, through the particular cruelty of almost and the harder work of staying. Riku must learn that love is not a design problem. Sera must learn that being known is not the same as being pitied. And spring, which has never once waited for anyone to be ready, keeps arriving anyway.
