But even the strongest piece on the board can be moved.

Synopsis **Lina Marchesi doesn’t remember the night her fiancé died. She only knows he drowned near their private beach house on the Amalfi Coast—and that she was found barefoot, bloodied, and unresponsive in a boat nearby. There were no signs of foul play, and Lina, an American expat novelist, hasn't been able to write since. A year later, under the weight of trauma, gaps in her memory, and public suspicion, she returns to the same village—not to heal, but to hide. But the quiet isn’t quiet for long. Whispers trail her in the market, her old neighbors keep their distance, and someone keeps leaving pages from her *unfinished manuscript* on her doorstep—pages she doesn't remember writing. Enter **Milo Caruso**, a former war photographer turned reclusive innkeeper with his own ghosts. He’s disfigured from an explosion, hiding out in the crumbling hills above the sea. Their paths cross when Lina takes up residence at his isolated property, and tension builds—first in silence, then in sharp, probing conversations over wine and cigarettes. Their connection is messy, magnetic, and deeply flawed. Milo is blunt and emotionally unavailable; Lina is unraveling but seductive, using charm as armor. They orbit each other—drawn, repelled, resisting. But both know what it’s like to live with something unspeakable. As Lina pieces together her fractured memory, it becomes clear that her fiancé’s death wasn’t as accidental as the police claimed. And someone in the village wants the truth buried. And as she and Milo fall into a love that’s as brutal as it is tender, Lina begins to ask herself the scariest question of all: **What if she killed him?**

---- Synopsis: Rea Jones has always felt like a ghost in crowded rooms. Suffering from enclophobia—the fear of crowds—she dreads her first day at a new school, where the hallways are a maze of unfamiliar faces and suffocating noise. She’s convinced she’ll be invisible, just as she’s always been. But then she meets Milo Carter, the easygoing artist who sees past her silence, and Elena Vasquez, the fierce and loyal girl who refuses to let Rea hide forever. Slowly, they draw her out of her shell, showing her that friendships aren’t as terrifying as she thought. Just when Rea starts to believe she belongs, she makes the one mistake she swore she never would—falling for Aster Westwood, the school’s golden boy with a rebellious streak and a secret of his own. He’s everything she should avoid, tangled in drama she wants no part of, but something about him makes her feel alive in a way she never has before. As Rea learns to navigate love, fear, and the overwhelming world around her, she must face the question she’s been running from all her life—will she let fear define her, or will she finally step out of the shadows?

When the cameras stop rolling, who are you really? Rae Morgan isn’t just the girl next door—she’s the face on every screen, the name on every trending list. A rising teen actress with a dazzling smile and a schedule packed with interviews, premieres, and rehearsals. But behind the flawless image is a girl craving normalcy, tired of being scripted and seen but never truly known. Enter Milo Reyes—quiet, grounded, and the kind of guy who prefers sketching in the margins of his notebook over chasing anyone’s spotlight. He’s not impressed by celebrity status or staged smiles. And he definitely never planned on talking to Rae Morgan… let alone liking her. Thrown together in the hallways of Halston High, their worlds shouldn’t make sense. But slowly—through sarcasm, secrets, late-night talks, and unexpected honesty—they begin to unravel each other’s carefully guarded layers. This isn’t a fairy tale. There’s no perfect moment, no instant chemistry, no neat and tidy ending. Just two people finding something real in a world that expects them to fake everything. Unscripted is a slow-burn high school romance about fame, identity, complicated friendships, and the unexpected love that changes everything—on screen and off.

TRAP ACADEMY: THE DEMON PRINCE’S PLAYGROUND (Working title, maybe... whatever, you’ll see) In a world wrecked by endless war, humanity’s been pushed deep underground, hiding out in crumbling colonies while mythical creatures rule the surface above. Their last shot at survival? An elite—and honestly kind of messed up—institution called Trap Academy, where they train “duel cultivators”: warriors who tap into elemental magic through the fusion of Yin and Yang energy. But this ain’t your typical magic school. The road to power here runs through forbidden rituals, taboo intimacy, and dangerously tight bonds between students. Becoming a hero means more than just slinging spells—it means giving up parts of yourself you didn’t even know were negotiable. Milo, a reluctant lottery pick from one of the poorer colonies, is thrown into this world with nothing but hope and a promise to protect the people he left behind—especially his best friend Zana, a goblinoid girl he grew up with. But the second he steps into the academy, it’s clear things are twisted. After a cryptic induction ceremony, Milo and the rest of the new students start changing—submitting, obeying, and feeling things they shouldn’t. Unbeknownst to them, the academy is under the influence of an ancient force: the Demon Prince of Lust. He feeds off their desires, their sins, and their pain. And the more they lose themselves in pleasure and power, the stronger he becomes. This is a dark fantasy smut novel for those who love the messy stuff—power struggles, forbidden romance, corrupted innocence, and yeah… a lot of freaky, experimental smut. Poly ideals, no gender boundaries, mystery, magic, and secrets that go deeper than the academy’s roots. Fair warning: This story contains explicit content—graphic sex scenes, violence, dark themes, and emotionally chaotic relationships. If that’s not your vibe, it’s cool. Just drop it and move on. No need to be a dick about it. But if you are into weird, wild stories with mystery, multiple lovers (both gay and straight), and scenes that get real freaky—from orgies to sex-offs to kink discovery and emotional rollercoasters—then welcome aboard. I gotchu. Everything in this story has a reason... I’m just not telling you what it is yet. That’s for later. So if you’re curious, confused, or just here for the chaos, you’re in the right place. No offense to anyone, any group, or whatever. This story came from a late-night dare, and now I’m stuck writing it instead of my zombie evolution novel because I lost a bet. If I don’t finish this, I owe my friend $100—and as a broke-ass college student? Hell nah. I’m making this work. Any tips, ideas, or help are more than welcome. Otherwise, thanks for checking it out, and if you’re just here to enjoy the ride—love you, stay chill, and let’s get weird.

Milo Cooper, a 27‐year-old disciplined soldier towering at 6’6”, returns after nine years to marry the girl his late father had betrothed to him.

Overcome with rage, he shoots Chloe. In a shocking reversal, as Milo rushes to her side, Hallelujah reveals her lethal resolve by shooting him. Rushed to the hospital, Milo survives long enough to confess his love for her, a revelation that forces Hallelujah to confront the tragic truth: her long-held vendetta was built on a lie. Her real father was, in fact, a criminal psychopath whom Milo’s father had killed to protect his family—a truth that shatters everything she believed.

Years later, at her best friend’s wedding, Milo reappears and asks her to be his wife once again, hinting at a possible redemption and a second chance at love despite the irreversible tragedies of their past.
