Miguel has built his life around the land. Born of indigenous Costa Rican ancestry, he believes ownership is stewardship, not control. High in the mountains of Monteverde, he struggles to preserve his farms and a failing eco-lodge sustained by pristine mountain springs that carry life-giving water for the entire valley. Bobby, a kindergarten teacher from Ireland, arrives in Costa Rica carrying a private grief. A genetic diagnosis has ended her hopes of motherhood, and leaving Ireland for Costa Rica is the only way she knows to start a new life. Vulnerable and unmoored, she falls under the influence of Sean, a charismatic expatriate who offers work, protection, and belonging—while quietly binding her to his business interests. The springs beneath Cabinas Las Nubes become the fulcrum of their collision. To Miguel, it is sacred. To Sean, it is a commodity to be stripped and laundered through shell companies tied to South American narco networks. When Miguel refuses to legitimize the illegal extraction, intimidation escalates into violence, culminating in the kidnapping of a child—Christopher—to force his compliance. Bobby recognizes the danger too late but refuses to run again. Risking her life to save Christopher, she confronts the man who once controlled her and exposes the depth of her courage. Her choice strengthens Miguel’s resolve. Working from within, he dismantles Sean’s operation and reclaims the land before it is destroyed. Set against Costa Rica’s ancient waters and living terrain, the novel explores grief, integrity, and the quiet ferocity of love chosen under threat.

When your best friend/lover betrays you and rejects your sincere feelings to marry your sister, the only thing left to do is to run away and never see either of them ever again, right? Well, I don't know if that's the best idea, but that's what I did. Daniel Griffin used me, betrayed me and to make it all worse, he got me pregnant. Now, years later, I still hate Daniel, but with a child on the mix and plenty of family problems, I can't ignore him anymore. Not to mention that fate decided to make us compatible and I can't be around him without wanting to jump him.

“Jangan kasar-kasar sama calon suami” “Bapak tuh bisa nggak sih, mulutnya jangan asal mengklaim orang” “Kenapa sih kamu kesal banget saya bilang calon istri?” “Ya karena saya bukan calon istri bapak” Ayyana memberikan penekanan disetiap ucapannya “Nanti malam saya lamar kalau gitu” “Nggak usah aneh-aneh” Ayyana memijat pelipisnya, lama-lama ia bisa darah tinggi jika terus berhadapan dengan Fakhri “Sesuai kesepakatan, saya udah makan siang sama bapak. Urusan mobil, tinggal kirim nomor rekening, nanti saya transfer” Ucap Ayyana “So please, jangan ganggu saya lagi. Jangan recokin hidup saya lagi, jauh-jauh dari saya” Lanjutnya melangkah menjauh “Kalau Mami kangen pengen ketemu calon mantunya gimana?” Ucap Fakhri setengah berteriak namun Ayyana tak berniat lagi menanggapi Perempuan itu melajukan mobilnya meninggalkan halaman dengan raut wajah dongkol setengah mati, sementara Fakhri tersenyum geli memilih melakukan hal yang sama, beranjak kembali menuju kantor untuk menyelesaikan beberapa pekerjaan yang terpaksa harus ia tinggal demi memenuhi janji makan siangnya pada Ayyana yang malah menyita waktu lumayan panjang Tapi ia tak keberatan bahkan rasanya menyenangkan melihat Ayyana meleparkan tatapan tajam padanya setiap kali Fakhri berhasil membuatnya kesal Mungkin Maminya tidak salah mengenalkan mereka, karna nyatanya Ayyana memiliki daya tarik tersendiri bagi Fakhri. Entahlah, tapi ia bahkan meragukan sendiri ucapannya saat menyebut Ayyana sebagai calon istri Perempuan itu terlalu baik untuk ia jadikan tumbal untuk kembali bertemu Jihan. Fakhri masih waras untuk tidak menarik adik sahabatnya itu dalam kubangan lumpur yang ia diami selama ini

For as long as he can remember, Ashwin Lockwood has been haunted by dreams—dark waters, silver eyes, a whisper of something lurking just beneath the surface. But dreams are just dreams… until his boyfriend, Dr. Hayden Hayes, vanishes without a trace. Mount Haven is the kind of town where people don’t just disappear. And yet, they are. Then comes Ishaan Arthava—a stranger too mesmerizing to ignore who offers to help Ashwin search for Hayden. Ishaan always there, always watching. Too close. Too familiar. And when he says Ashwin’s name, it feels like a memory he can’t reach. And then the bodies start appearing. The deeper Ashwin is drawn into Ishaan’s orbit, the more his reality fractures. His world—his past, his future, his very identity—is slipping through his fingers like water. Sweet, steady Hayden. Deadly, intoxicating Ishaan. One is missing. One is inevitable. One holds his heart. The other holds his fate. But some bonds are too strong to break. And Ashwin’s destiny with Ishaan? It was never a choice. WARNING: 18+ , Hints of Omegaverse. THREAD CAREFULLY.

After working abroad for several years, I returned home, only to have my parents arrange a blind date for me. He was tall and strikingly handsome, honest in character, steady in demeanor, and came from an excellent family background. In short, the perfect candidate for a husband. I told myself that sooner or later, marriage was inevitable, so I settled on him. The day before the wedding, I went to the church—only to be stunned by the sight before me. The entire place had been transformed into something sinister and grotesque. The walls were plastered with terrifying photos of corpses, the floor littered with wax figures of severed arms and legs, and even the flowers had been dyed black, dripping with blood-red stains. But the most infuriating part was the image hanging right at the center of the church—an AI-generated picture of me, pinned beneath my fiancé, as he whipped me. My whole body trembled with fury. I stormed at the staff still working on the decorations, ordering them to stop immediately. Just then, his best friend, Nina Cullen, walked in. "Don't stop. Yves prefers this wedding style." I froze, staring at her in disbelief. "How is that possible? Who in their right mind would decorate something as joyous as a wedding with gore? This is insane!" Nina only gave a cold, arrogant laugh. "That's the theme. If you want to marry him, you'll have to accept it." Speechless, I immediately called Yves. "Yves, I'm not interested in getting married in a haunted house. You'd better restore the church to normal; otherwise, this wedding is off."
