A Halloween Romance A tiny pumpkin carved with a poem brings the colors of autumn back into her life. When Haruka discovers a miniature pumpkin in her backyard, she finds a few quiet lines of poetry carved into its skin—a mysterious “pumpkin letter” that seems to have come from the house next door. Tired of dealing with people, Haruka has returned to her late grandmother’s home in search of a quieter life. Her reserved neighbor, Minato Sasagawa, works among the plants at the local botanical garden and seems far more comfortable with flowers—and his rescued German shepherd—than with conversation. But one pumpkin letter leads to another. Through handmade gifts, shared silences, and small acts of kindness, the distance between two lonely neighbors slowly begins to disappear. Set beneath the warm glow of Halloween lanterns, The Pumpkin Letter is a gentle, heartwarming autumn romance about finding unexpected sweetness just next door.

The world ended in blood, screams, and the dead refusing to stay dead. Violet should have been just another survivor. Instead, the infected hesitate when they see her. They stop. They watch. And sometimes… they let her live. Violet doesn’t know why, and she’s not sure she wants the answer. All she knows is that survival means staying close to the people she has left—and keeping the impossible things happening around her from becoming one more reason for someone to fear her. Then she meets Kaden. Quiet, capable, and carrying secrets of his own, Kaden doesn’t look at Violet like she’s a monster. He looks at her like she’s a mystery worth understanding. As the two are pushed closer together by a world determined to tear them apart, survival begins to mean something neither of them expected. But the dead aren’t the only things hunting in the ruins. Something else is watching. Something that heals. Something that remembers Violet. And the closer she gets to discovering why the infected won’t kill her, the more dangerous the truth becomes. In a world where everyone is fighting to survive, Violet may be carrying the one secret capable of changing what survival means.

Marrine Child showed up on the steps of a tiny church, wrapped in blankets and left out in a raging storm. The nuns and Father Thompson took her in, raising her in the quiet seaside town of Port Haven. On the surface, she seemed like any other orphan—just a bit out of place, maybe. But there was more to Marrine. Her father was the King of the Deep, a powerful sea ruler set on taking her back, no matter the cost. She grew up under the watchful eyes of the church, soaking in the faith and warmth of her caretakers. As she got older, Marrine’s beauty stood out—though not nearly as much as her bond with Zeke Thompson, the priest’s son. The two of them grew up together, turning a childhood friendship into a fierce, unstoppable love. Port Haven, always small-minded, whispered behind their backs. The truth Marrine hid could wreck them both. Then Damien Rivers—jealous, bitter, always watching—unveiled Marrine’s secret to the whole town. Just like that, the people she once called neighbors turned against her. Zeke didn’t hesitate; they ran. They found a secret island, tucked away and forgotten, somewhere they could finally breathe. But safety was an illusion. The King of the Deep still wanted his daughter, and this time, he didn’t come alone. Everything came to a head in one desperate battle. Marrine stood at a crossroads: give in to her marine blood and lose Zeke, or turn her back on everything she was and risk it all. Just when hope seemed gone, an angel appeared with the impossible—way forward, if Marrine’s faith and Zeke’s love could withstand the final test. It turns into a sweeping story about belief, sacrifice, and a love that even death can’t destroy.

Skylar Bale doesn't do distractions. Four years of straight A's and a heart kept firmly out of reach, that's the plan, and she's stuck to it religiously. Until one reckless night, one stranger's hands at her waist, one kiss that tastes like every rule she's ever broken at once. She doesn't get his name. She doesn't need it. It's a secret she'll keep pressed against her lips like a bruise. Then she walks into her 9 a.m. lecture, and every plan she's ever made goes up in flames. Because the man writing his name on the whiteboard, Professor Lucian Cross, is the same man whose mouth was on hers twelve hours ago. Skylar tells herself this is dangerous, impossible. Lucian tells himself the same, right before he finds a reason to keep her after class. Every glance is a risk. Every locked door, a temptation. And the longer they play at staying professional, the harder it becomes to remember why they're even trying.

When a leaked single threatens to end her career, pop star Rhea Santiago is forced into a PR-engineered relationship with Cole, a guarded ghostwriter secretly paying off a debt he refuses to explain. Their contract has strict rules, no real feelings, cameras only, an end date, but forced proximity turns performance into something neither of them planned for. Behind it all is Evelyn Cross, the label president’s wife, who discovered Rhea years ago and believes she still owns her success; Cole’s carefully buried past turns out to be tangled in Evelyn’s control too, and unraveling it costs both of them dearly before they can trust each other for real. What follows is decades, not months: marriage, children shaped by the wounds Rhea and Cole carry from their own childhoods, the identity crisis of loving someone whose fame or usefulness threatens to swallow you whole, and the slow work of becoming parents neither of them had. When Cole is finally diagnosed with a terminal illness, the book’s real question comes due, not whether love can defeat death, but whether Rhea can survive losing him and still call her own life whole. She does. Not because he saved her, but because he helped her discover she could save herself.

I walked down the aisle to marry the man I was supposed to hate. Adrian Blackwood was older, powerful, devastatingly attractive—and the last man I should have wanted. He was also the man I once caught leaving my mother’s bedroom. So when he offered to save my dying family business in exchange for marrying me, I knew exactly what I was getting into. Or so I thought. Because the moment Adrian became my husband, the rules changed. His hands lingered too long. His eyes followed me when he thought I wasn't looking. Every heated argument between us seemed to end with us standing far too close, fighting an attraction neither of us was willing to name. And the worst part? I wanted him. But Adrian wasn't the only one keeping secrets. My father didn't die in an accident. My mother knows why. And Adrian has been protecting the truth for sixteen years. Now forbidden desire is pulling me deeper into a marriage built on lies, while someone is determined to make sure I never discover what really happened the night my father died. I married my mother's secret lover. Now I'm falling into his bed, his secrets, and a passion I was never supposed to feel. But when I uncover the truth, I may discover that the man I thought stole my mother's heart has been protecting mine all along. He was my mother's forbidden secret. Now he's my husband. And I can't decide what's more dangerous—wanting him or discovering why he chose me.

His hand was still warm on the small of my back when I found the lanyard in his jacket pocket. Bad idea. ..The best mistake of my life..and I didn’t even know his name. The lights were dim. Two drinks in, his mouth was on my neck, teeth grazing my skin as his hands explored under my dress . He pressed me against the wall and touched me until I trembled, whispering how ready I was for him. I went home with a stranger that night because I was tired of being the perfect student with the flawless GPA. I wanted to feel alive. I wanted to be ruined. Monday morning, that same stranger stepped into my lecture hall and called my name like he hadn’t spent the weekend deep inside me. Professor Daniel Calder. My only elective..the one class standing between me and the future I’ve spent years building. I can’t drop it. I can’t escape him. And every time he leans over my desk to mark my work, I remember exactly how those hands felt on my body. He promised we’d keep it professional. Open doors. Daylight distance. That lasted until the first time he locked his office door after hours, bent me over his desk, and took me hard and deep, his hand covering my mouth to muffle my moans. Now at nights I'm to be reading.. his mouth between my thighs until I’m shaking, urgent encounters against bookshelves, and the constant thrill of almost getting caught. His marks on my papers in red ink. His marks on my skin in the dark. He’s my professor. I’m his student. He’s off-limits. I’m supposed to know better. Neither of us can stop.
