The Accidental Matchmaker's Guide to Not Falling in Love

Meet Chloe, a cynical, perpetually single baker whose only true loves are sourdough starters and the quiet solitude of her cat, Muffin. Her life takes an unexpected, hilarious turn when a well-meaning (and slightly meddling) elderly customer, Mrs. Henderson, mistakes Chloe's accidental delivery of a love poem to the wrong address as a sign of her hidden talent for matchmaking. Before Chloe can protest, she's roped into becoming the unofficial "Cupid of Maple Street," tasked with orchestrating the romantic lives of her quirky small-town neighbors. Armed with a disastrous understanding of romance novels and an even worse track record with her own dating life, Chloe bumbles through a series of increasingly absurd setups. There's the shy librarian who needs to be coaxed out of her shell with interpretive dance, the grumpy hardware store owner who secretly writes sonnets, and the perpetually confused tourist who thinks "blind date" means wearing a literal blindfold. Just when Chloe thinks she's mastered the art of not getting involved, a charming, infuriatingly handsome new resident, Liam, moves in next door. He's a travel writer who finds Chloe's matchmaking antics endlessly amusing and seems determined to prove that even the most love-averse baker can't escape destiny. As Chloe tries to set everyone else up, she finds herself accidentally falling for the one person she swore she'd never get involved with – a man who sees through her cynical facade and finds her chaotic attempts at love endearing. "The Accidental Matchmaker's Guide to Not Falling in Love" is a heartwarming and laugh-out-loud tale about finding love when you least expect it, proving that sometimes, the best way to find your own happy ending is to trip headfirst into someone else's.

Reborn To Be His Obsession: Miss Nobody Strikes Back

Head over heels in love, Ayla Caddel marries Silas Locke, a wealthy entrepreneur in Maple County, believing she’s secured her happily ever after. Eight years later, she’s living a nightmare, but still refuses to see it. Despite being constantly mistreated by her in-laws and repeatedly cheated on by her husband, Ayla forgives him, believing it’s simply in a ‘man’s nature.’ Even when Silas infects her with an STD that leaves her infertile, she still forgives him. She sacrifices a high-paying job to ease his insecurities, cooks, cleans, and contributes to household expenses… all while enduring daily humiliation. One night, Silas brings home his pregnant mistress, Elena Simmons along with a major business partner and serves Ayla divorce papers like she’s yesterday’s trash. Shattered, she runs to the rooftop to catch her breath, but that’s when it happens. She overhears a cruel phone call Elena makes and confronts her about it only to be shoved off the roof. As she falls, she locks eyes with Elena’s cold, smiling face. Tears slide down her cheeks and she unwillingly embraces death, full of regret. As her skull hits the pavement, the last flickers of life flashes before her eyes. And with searing clarity, she realizes: she was never the problem. If only she could turn back time… she would do everything differently. But then… Ayla Caddel wakes up the next morning, not in a hospital, but seven years before her death. This time, she plans to burn her fairy tale to the ground, starting with divorcing her ‘perfect’ husband. She vows never to get entangled with a man until a certain man suddenly clings to her hips, refusing to leave. . . . Ezra Hale, the man Silas relied on for business, was never interested in Silas. He was rather drawn to Ayla, but never approached her and patiently waited for the scales to fall off her eyes. That was until he hears of her sudden death while driving to work. Heartbroken and guilt-ridden, he crashes into a truck and dies instantly. Only to open his eyes seven years earlier. On this day back then, Ayla had brought Silas lunch at work, only to be embarrassed and shouted at to leave. But this time, as Ezra walks by… he doesn’t care that his entire staff is watching and directly pulls the woman he never thought he’d see again into his arms.

Seine Augen öffneten sich und er sah eine umwerfend aussehende Frau mit blonden Haaren und goldenen Augen. Sie war 1,70 Meter groß und ihr Körper besaß sündige Kurven.

The Ink of Forgotten Stars

In a world where memories are carved into constellations and the dead linger as starlit echoes, Elara Vey is a scribe tasked with erasing the past. Her duty: redact painful memories from the sky under the watch of the Archivists, tyrannical scholars who control history to “purify” humanity’s future. But Elara harbors a treasonous secret—she’s addicted to the echo of her dead sister, a constellation she illegally preserves, clinging to the ghost of a voice that whispers warnings no one else can hear. When Elara discovers a forbidden star-map hidden in the Archives, she learns the truth: the Shattered Atrium, her labyrinthine city beneath a fractured celestial dome, is not a sanctuary but a cage. The gods imprisoned humanity here to protect the universe from their ancestors’ hubris—a primordial civilization that defied death and nearly devoured the stars. To expose the Archivists’ lies, Elara must wield lumen-ink, a liquid starlight that rewrites reality but dissolves her mind with every stroke. Aided by a sentient bone quill that hungers for forbidden truths and haunted by a nomadic star-cartographer, Arian, whose prosthetic arm glows with the light of a fallen god, Elara races to piece together humanity’s buried sins. But the ink’s power comes at a cost: every memory she erases resurrects fragments of the ancients inside her, their voices clawing at her sanity. Meanwhile, the Archivists’ ruthless master, Kaelis, offers her a chance to rewrite the past and resurrect her sister—if she condemns the world to eternal ignorance. As the Atrium’s dome cracks and primordial shadows seep through, Elara must confront the cruelest truth of all: some stars are better left unread.
