Hallmark A Novel Romance Novels & Stories

Alex said and we started walking away. "Seems like someone's becoming a celebrity" I said. "You are just noticing?" He asked and I laughed. We got to our suite and I went to my room with my clothes. I arranged everything and slumped on the bed. I am so tired and it's already getting dark. I should change and get some sleep. We ordered breakfast and ate in the sitting room. "We'll be having a meeting today at The HSBC hall" Alex said. "The HSBC hall?" I asked.

Shadow raised her head to smell it, her big brown eyes curious, but upon finding it to be nothing other than frustrating ideas, she resettled. It had seemed so easy at first glance. Audrey and Ray had fallen in love once; I knew they could do it again. I had buzzed through my shift, sprinted home, and hopped on the computer for research. Fast forward two hours and I had no results. Everything I found was either too complex or too reminiscent of “The Parent Trap”. I had no idea how to get these two people to fall in love, let alone how to get them in the same room. My balloon of hope and excitement was quickly deflating, reality a slow leak sinking it. My phone chimed, and the noise startled

I did not reply to Jeremy Steward's message. I just stared at that photo. I knew the car interior all too well. After all, it was the promotional gift I had given him. Hanging from the glove compartment on the passenger side was the safety charm I had woven by hand. I tapped into that unfamiliar account again and opened her playlist. The pinned playlist was titled 'A Love That Came Late.' Its description read, 'You are the joy that came too late and the one I'll love for the rest of my life.'

my tone dripped with confusion. “Sarah’s loyalty has always been to money, when her husband got imprisoned, and harl’s wife died, I guess she saw it as the right time to step in,” she said. Harl was married. What in the world of an alternate universe have I stepped into? She shook her head, “Don’t mind me my love, look at me boring you with stories that have been long forgotten,” she laughed. But it didn’t feel like they were forgotten, in fact it felt like there was more to it than she was willing to share.

Harlow laughed, not catching the sting, but I swallowed it down the way I always did. The rest of the drive was filled with their gossip, they share a story about a mutual friend’s vacation. I stared out the window, counting the passing traffic lights, reminding myself that I’d survive this. Just a few hours of sitting still and pretending to be the daughter my mother kept sculpting in her head. The concert hall was all glass and gold trim, it was the kind of building that made you feel underdressed no matter what you wore. Inside, everything smelled faintly of varnished wood and perfume, and the air buzzed with that hushed chatter of people waiting for something Important to begin.

“Your husband is celebrating his first love’s anniversary tonight. If you want to know, come to the Grand Aurora Hotel, Main Ballroom.” Rosemary’s chest pounded wildly. Her fingers trembled as she read the mysterious message. “No… this must be some cheap joke,” she whispered. But the more she tried to ignore it, the tighter the knot of curiosity strangled her heart. With hurried steps, she grabbed her coat, clutched her bag, and rushed to the hotel mentioned in the message. A light drizzle dampened the streets, the city lights glowing faintly through the mist.

“That’s what you call it?” Rhian sat opposite him, resting her chin on her hand as she studied him playfully. “What else should I call it? You practically turned the living room into a scene from a romance movie. Roses, candles, velvet box…” Her lips twitched into a grin. “I half-expected a violinist to jump out of the closet.” Damon’s smirk deepened. “I’ll keep that in mind for next time.” She rolled her eyes, laughing softly. “Next time? So you’re planning to outdo yourself?”

Yes, Juliet was bubbly, but we barely spoke, and then there's Hailey, who bounced a few days after she came by and was keeping me company. I swung my legs off the bed, the bracelet cold against my wrist. A knock came at the door before I could move further. “Jasmine?” Hailey stepped in without waiting for an answer. She looked… happy. “I see you got it,” she said, nodding toward the table. “Yes,” I replied flatly. "I don't know when but I think I know who." I gave her a pointed look. She shrugged, walking further into the room. “It’s stunning. He has good taste.”

He was about to pull away when things were getting pretty intense but she pleaded. “Don’t stop Ronald, I want you....” Raina pulled away from the kiss and let go of her robe. Ronald’s jaw was literally on the carpet. He couldn’t believe what he was looking at. Raina was in red sexy lingerie which enhanced her well-defined bump. Ronald could feel himself getting hard, he was sure a cold shower couldn’t cure his erection this time around. He wanted her so bad. “This is the best birthday gift, my love, I promise to be as gentle as I can.” He lifted her in a bridal style, ready to make love to the Queen of his Heart. The End.........

The maids in the previous castle were helpful towards and that is the reason why I could learn to read. Currently, I was reading a novel, and from what Cassandra had told me--It was a romance novel. I still was new learning about it, but all I knew about was that a hug and a kiss on the forehead were a sign of intimacy. I couldn't understand much, but in the books, it stated that sensing that bubbling feeling in the abdomen and the warmth in the chest was something related to a close connection between two people. A bond. As I put the book down on the nightstand and leaned the headboard of the bed, a few minutes passed before there was a knock at the door. As I told the person behind the doo
