Perna To Rachel & Derek, Thank you for everything! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When the last heir of Ardel lost everything, fate would bring her to her rightful protector. Anna Adhemar, the forgotten princess, found herself betrayed by the Regent. Hunted by the Bargesians and the ruthless slave traders, she desperately fled for her life. Rescued by a mysterious man, her newfound safety was short-lived as she succumbed to a potent aphrodisiac. Then, she awoke in the arms of the fearsome Knight Commander of Gerhard, stripped bare, in a foreign kingdom. Fear, confusion, and a sense of profound devastation enveloped her. But the man before her declared, "I am your husband. I married you last night." Then, with unwavering determination, he vowed, " You're my woman now. No one can hurt my woman." --- Kyren Raychard, the Crown Prince who had chosen to forsake the throne and become celibate, led the Knights of Gerhard to safeguard his kingdom’s border from slave trading activities. Outside his camp, he found Anna poisoned and delirious. The healer informed him of the only cure, of which he must race against time to give and honour her. For the first time, he felt an overwhelming instinct to protect and claim her as his own. Unaware of his deepening affection, he belatedly realised his feelings as he stood on the brink of losing her. Bound by a soul-binding spell, their fates intertwined…

INTERTWINED (WHEN TIMETAKES YOU BACK) What if the past held your future? When Isabella “Bella” Carter, a brilliant, skeptical college student from the city, steps into her campus lab that fateful day, she expects to witness science in motion, not magic. But one wrong spark sends her spiraling through time, tumbling from her modern world into the ancient Kingdom of Joseon, where honor rules, secrets kill, and one misstep can cost your life. Waking in a world that feels like a dream and a nightmare entwined, Bella becomes an outsider in every sense, her skin, her speech, her clothes mark her as something other. Yet amid suspicion and whispers, a widow and her spirited young daughter take her in, offering not just refuge, but the first flicker of belonging in a world that shouldn’t exist for her. But fate isn’t done with her yet. When Bella saves a wounded stranger on the roadside, she has no idea she’s just altered the course of history, because that stranger is Crown Prince Lee Ji-ho, heir to the throne and prisoner of duty. Bound by gratitude and curiosity, he seeks her out, and from that moment, their lives become perilously intertwined. Drawn into the glittering yet treacherous palace life, Bella discovers a world of dangerous beauty, where power wears a smile, betrayal hides behind silk screens, and every whispered secret could be her undoing. As her bond with the prince deepens into something forbidden, she faces an impossible choice between love and survival, between destiny and return. With rebellion staring in the shadows and time itself beginning to unravel, Bella must decide: is she meant to go home, or was she brought here for a reason that defies every law of nature? “Intertwined (When Time Takes You Back)” is a sweeping, emotional, and time-bending historical drama where romance burns through centuries, and one woman’s journey through the past might just rewrite the future.

Three girls. One dorm room. A hundred ways to break, grow, and love again. Chen Yue believes in love at first sight, and when she finally got the attention of her long-time crush — Han Zixuan, the cold physics genius, she’s sure she’s found it. What she doesn’t expect is how hard it is to love someone who doesn’t know how to love back. Lin Meixuan has no time for romance, no patience for flirts, and definitely no interest in Fang Yichen, the smooth-talking racer who won’t stop annoying her. But somehow, his persistence starts to feel like something real… and terrifying. Shen Anran never expected love, not after everything she’s lost. But she found something warm with Chen Haoran, the golden boy everyone adores — until his past returns, and she’s left questioning if being "fine" is enough to hold love together. This is a story about friendship, heartbreak, youth, and all the ways we loved — and lost — before we truly understood what love meant.

In a rain-soaked Seattle apartment building, one stormy night changes everything. When the power fails and the lights go out, Emma opens her door to her quiet, steady neighbor Lucas—drenched, warm-eyed, and carrying nothing but the scent of cedar and rain. What begins as shared candlelight and small talk ignites into something neither of them expected: raw, honest desire that quickly deepens into the kind of love most people only write about. But love isn’t a single spark—it’s a daily choice. Through power outages and quiet mornings, through exes who try to haunt the present and doubts that whisper in the dark, Emma and Lucas keep choosing each other. She pours their life onto the page—first in secret notebooks, then in essays that go viral, then in paid words strangers pay to read. He stays—through every vulnerable line she writes, through every moment she fears she’s too much, through every ordinary Tuesday that becomes sacred because they’re in it together. From kitchen-counter passion to city-hall vows, from $412.17 royalty checks to the first winter as husband and wife, After the Rain is an intimate, unflinching portrait of real love: messy, steady, fiercely chosen. It’s not about grand gestures or fairy-tale endings. It’s about the quiet, breathtaking courage it takes to stay. And the breathtaking reward when two people decide—every single day—that the person across from them is home. Perfect for readers who crave slow-burn romance with soul-deep emotion, explicit heat that serves the heart, and characters who feel like the best parts of real life. After the Rain is the story of a love that doesn’t shout. It simply stays. And stays.
