Hugo thought he was doing a simple good deed when he picked up a stray cat off the side of the road. A warm bed, regular meals, nothing more. But when he wakes up the next morning to find a beautiful stranger standing in his tiny apartment, his entire understanding of reality is thrown off balance. 

 

As Hugo struggles to wrap his head around his new, impossible situation named Basil—he’s forced to confront a truth even more unsettling: the stranger is charming, dangerous, and impossible to resist.

Hugo and Basil are falling head over heels for each other and they are loving every moment of it—Basil is ready to go all the way for Hugo. Their college life is more than what Hugo could have ever dreamed of. But as they start to explore this life together, cracks soon begin to appear as their different personalities steer them into different directions. 

 

Will they find their way back to each other? 

Broken Mirrors, Spilt Salt, and a Lifetime of Bad Luck

Belonging in an Ivy League but through a twist of misfortune, stuck in a community college pre-law program, Mallory’s doing her best to minimize the misfortune she brings to those in close proximity. Her only haven is a group of gamers she befriended while playing Arcana Quest. Online camaraderie quickly morphed into real friendship with one standout friend—Valkyrie, whom she told about her cursed luck.

When one of their friends suffers a particularly bad interaction with a threatening man, Valkyrie suggests an unconventional idea: Mallory should harness her bad luck to take down jerks on dating apps. It works like a charm—well, a broken one.

Mallory wrestles with the ethical morality of her actions, while trying to balance her internship with an enigmatic personal injury lawyer, who seems immune to the torrent of disasters that follow her.

Can she use her curse to deliver justice without spiraling into chaos? Or has she found herself a more dangerous way for her bad luck to bring her to ruin?

Before the darned pink Caddy showed up.

Before the seriously sexy paramedic rescued her.

Before a respected local politician was accused of a heinous crime.

 

We have to start on the day when Nadia went about her business, thinking that she had life all put together.

London, 1759

 

Lizzie Hardwicke has learned to escape her history and survive the perilous streets of Soho within the walls of Mrs Farley’s Bawdy House, a reputable brothel. But entertaining wealthy customers may not be so profitable when one of them is brutally murdered after a night with her.

 

Lizzie must escape the investigator Davenport’s suspicious eye by solving the murder herself. But the deeper she goes, the more bodies pile up. From her customers to the doorman, everyone has something to hide. All Lizzie needs to do is find the person willing to kill for theirs, before they come for her.

Famous In Love

Dating a K-pop idol is a sweet kind of chaos — all glitter, secrecy, and missed flights wrapped in late-night confessions.

 

It means loving someone whose life belongs to schedules and spotlights, where dates happen backstage, kisses are stolen between performances, and privacy is a luxury. Yet behind the perfect smiles are people who hoard snacks, make impulsive confessions, and fall in love just as messily as anyone else.

 

In Famous in Love, secret dressing-room romances, loophole proposals, and chaotic meet-cutes unfold across the industry—from idols hiding relationships from managers to long-distance fiancés navigating exhaustion, fame, and longing. Some love stories begin with shared fandom obsessions, others with midnight convenience-store encounters, but all are shaped by one truth: love in the spotlight is fragile, funny, and fiercely protected. 

 

Because loving a K-pop idol isn’t just about glamour.

 

It’s about choosing each other through distance, scandal, and silence — again and again, until the stage lights fade and what remains is simply love.

Freeing Madame X

Escape has never felt like an option. Until him.

 

For years, she has lived under the control of Dave Compton—the arrogant, possessive son of the man who owns the town as surely as he owns its people. To Dave, she is obedience personified, a body to claim and a will to break.

Henrietta, dreamy and misunderstood, falls for the troubled and obsessive Burton. In 1742, their story ends in horror when she plunges from a cliff into the roaring sea—her body never recovered, her death transforming instantly into myth.

Drawn from the ocean with an eerie calm and impossible beauty, she mesmerizes the townspeople who once pitied or mocked her. Soon, fear gives way to devotion. Whispers of miracles spread. Offerings are made. And then the sacrifices begin. Those given to the sea do not simply die—they transform, joining Henrietta in a strange underwater kingdom that grows stronger with each passing week.

It’s the early 1990s, and in the Irish village of Crossmore, Lucy feels out of place. Despite her fierce friendships, she’s always felt this way, and the conventional path of marriage and motherhood doesn’t appeal to her at all.

Lucy begins to make sense of herself during a long hot summer, when a spark with her school friend Susannah escalates to an all-consuming infatuation, and, very quickly, to a desperate and devastating love.

 

Fearful of rejection from her small and conservative community, Lucy begins living a double life, hiding the most honest parts of herself in stolen moments with Susannah.
