What What We Do In The Shadows

WHAT A TWIST!

*Prologue* The Korean air enveloped Sarah James like a foreign shroud. An 18-year-old Nigerian, she had never imagined herself in this world. The strict norms and expectations threatened to suffocate her, but her love for K-dramas and K-pop sparked a curiosity that refused to be extinguished. Her heart, once full of hope, had been shattered by Yong Jo-sang's betrayal. The memories still lingered; he broke her heart even before she gave it to him. But fate, it seemed, had other plans. In the library, Sarah's eyes met Hyun Min's, and her world shifted. The brooding introvert's piercing gaze drew her in, and she found herself captivated by his quiet strength. Their awkward encounter belied the depth of his character; he was being a jerk, he had swooped the book she wanted and was even cold about it. Sarah soon discovered a hidden charm that left her breathless. Yet, Hyun Min's life was a complex web of obligations and expectations. His parents had bound him to Na Yeon, a girl chosen for him. They were to get married when they reached their second year of college. But Na Yeon's reputation was about to take a devastating hit. Chuchu's jealousy had unleashed a scandal that would change everything.

But in the aftermath of Na Yeon's tragic demise, a sinister plot unfolded. The woman who is claimed to be Hyun Min's mother, driven by a deep-seated hatred of Sarah, would stop at nothing to keep them apart. But as the truth began to unravel, a shocking revelation turned everything upside down: the woman was not Hyun Min's real mother, And Sarah's own life was about to get even more complicated - her friend, Racy, was revealed to be a spy, tasked with keeping tabs on her and reporting back to Hyun Min's fake mother. racy was also interested in hyun min,and to get him..she had to do all that dirty work as hyun min fake mother had promised.

What the Gods Forbid

Raelith Vale was once Rayan Vale—a brilliant but lonely surgeon from Earth who met his end in a fatal car crash. But death was not the end. He awoke in a world of swords and sorcery, reborn into a prestigious mage family blessed with powerful elemental bloodlines. Gifted and intelligent even in this new life, Raelith seemed destined for greatness. That is, until the day of his awakening ceremony. At the age of fifteen, when all are expected to bond with the elemental forces of the world, Raelith failed. No element. No magic. A soul closed to the world’s aether. Shamed by his clan and marked as a disgrace, he was cast aside. Only his sister—Seraphine, a gifted fire mage—stood by him. But love makes enemies, and loyalty demands sacrifice. When the clan moves to silence Raelith permanently, Seraphine gives her life to save him. Broken, hunted, and exiled, Raelith flees into Death Valley—a cursed land where even gods fear to tread. There, against all reason, he survives. And deep within its forgotten ruins, he meets a mad and ancient mage who reveals the hidden truth: The gods of this world—both holy and vile—conspired to imprison humanity at the peak of power. True ascension lies not in divine favor, but in the forbidden knowledge of the Outer Gods. Given a choice, Raelith accepts a drop of Nyarlathotep blood to awaken his soul… and in doing so, becomes the first vampire in a world that has never known such a being. Now armed with powers outside the laws of nature and a soul bound to secrets man was never meant to hold, Raelith vows to do the impossible: Defy the gods. Unearth the truth. And bring his sister back from the dead… Even if it means becoming the very monster the world was never meant to know.

What we never said

Fourteen was supposed to be an in-between year — too old for dolls, too young for love. But for Cara, it became the year everything changed. When her brother’s best friend, Callum Adler, starts spending more time at their house, Cara notices things most adults ignore. The bruises. The quiet. The way their mother starts folding extra laundry like it’s second nature. Callum's broken home becomes a secret the whole family carries, and Cara — wide-eyed, overlooked, and quietly growing — starts to fall for him in all the ways she shouldn’t. But Callum is four years older. Eighteen. Off-limits. Almost a man. And despite their quiet moments — the almosts, the shared glances, the night she asked to kiss him — he walks away without a goodbye, leaving her in the silence he helped create. Years pass. Cara grows. Builds a life. Finds herself. By eighteen, she’s no longer just Kaden’s little sister. She’s her own person — confident, loved, maybe even happy. But everything tilts when she runs into Callum again at a skating rink. Older, composed, and entirely unexpected. He’s not the same boy who used to sleep on her couch with bruises on his ribs — and she’s not the girl who watched him leave. But unfinished things have a way of circling back. Told in alternating perspectives of Cara and Callum, What We Never Said explores the slow burn of first love, the ache of timing, and what it really means to grow up — and grow apart — before finding your way back.

The Spaces Between What We Said.

When transfer student Haruki Sakamoto accidentally walks into Professor Akizuki's "Psychology of Human Attachment" class, he expects to quietly slip out unnoticed. Instead, he finds himself captivated by both the subject matter and Noa Hoshizaki, a brilliant psychology major whose analytical approach to relationships challenges everything he thought he knew about love. Haruki has spent years analyzing emotions in literature while remaining clueless about his own feelings. Noa excels at academic theory but struggles with the practical application of healthy relationship patterns. Together, they embark on what begins as an intellectual exploration of attachment theory and evolves into something much more profound—learning how to love each other intentionally and well. Under Professor Akizuki's mentorship, they discover that relationships don't have to be mysterious or dramatic to be meaningful. Instead, they learn to apply psychological research to their own connection, developing communication skills, supporting each other's individual growth, and choosing conscious partnership over unconscious patterns inherited from childhood. As their romance deepens, so does their academic collaboration. Haruki's research on attachment pattern development complements Noa's thesis on therapeutic interventions, leading to discoveries that could influence how people understand and develop healthier relationships. Their work attracts attention from graduate programs across the country, forcing them to choose between geographic proximity and pursuing the academic opportunities that align with their individual goals. They decide to trust their relationship enough to support each other's dreams, even when it means separation. Noa accepts an early research position at the University of Chicago while Haruki prepares for graduate school at Northwestern. Their love survives the transition from campus romance to long-distance partnership, proving that relationships built on mutual support and intentional communication can thrive despite challenges. By graduation, they've not only learned how to love each other well, but their collaborative research has begun producing findings that could revolutionize relationship psychology. When their independent studies reveal what appears to be a critical period for attachment pattern development in young adults—a window where conscious relationship work produces dramatically accelerated results—they realize they may have discovered something that could help millions of people develop healthier connections. Volume 1 concludes as their research attracts national attention, with publication opportunities and conference presentations that could launch their academic careers. But Noa hints at another discovery that could change everything they think they know about their findings. This is a story about two people who learn that the best relationships aren't accidents of chemistry, but conscious collaborations between partners committed to each other's growth. It's about love that makes people better, research that matters, and the discovery that understanding attachment theory isn't just academic—it's the foundation for building lasting partnership. A romance for readers who believe love can be both analytical and passionate, practical and profound. More volume will be out soon!
