Threadless When memory doesn’t fade — it rearranges. In a quiet town where nothing ever seems to change, two students — Rin and Aro — begin to notice the seams of reality pulling apart. It starts with a thread. A memory that doesn’t belong. A face seen once in a dream, then recognized in daylight. As familiar places begin to shift — rain that doesn’t fall, mirrors that blink first, classmates that no one remembers enrolling — the two are drawn into something older than their lives: a forgotten architecture of rewritten memories, unfinished stories, and a hidden system that watches back. Together, they begin to unravel the layers of their world, discovering abandoned workshops where time is forged, truth is mined, and forgotten selves echo like song fragments. But the deeper they go, the more the story starts writing itself — and the line between who they are and who they once were begins to blur. Now, with their names etched into a book they haven’t written yet, Rin and Aro must decide: Are they here to remember the past? Or to finish what someone never dared to start?

"The Novel That Rewrites Itself" In a world that feels almost too real, a novel begins to write itself. The narrator, a struggling writer trying to rebuild his life, discovers that the pages of his novel don't respond to his pen; instead, they precede him, knowing more about him than he knows himself. Each morning, a new page appears on his desk, recounting something from his past, revealing an unspoken secret, or foretelling a mistake yet to occur. As time passes, he realizes the novel isn't just writing about him; it's reshaping his life, altering his decisions, and resurrecting mistakes he thought he had buried. But the worst is yet to come. The novel begins to write chapters he hasn't reached, leaping through time and introducing characters who were supposed to be dead or forgotten. Slowly, the line between writer and writing, between truth and script, blurs. A single question begins to echo within him: Is what I'm writing... me, or what wrote me?

Sometimes the biggest prize is the heart you never meant to win. Callie Monroe had never planned to leave Bandera, Texas. Her roots ran deep in the dusty trails of her family's ranch, where she grew up wrangling horses and chasing sunsets. But when her mother was critically injured in a farming accident, the hospital bills stacked higher than hay bales. Her father—desperate and proud—demanded a sacrifice Callie couldn't make: marry the well-off widower next door, a man twice her age with a cold smile and controlling ways. With the help of a childhood friend who'd made it to the city, she packed up her boots, dreams, and barely enough cash to get by…and moved to New York. There, she found work behind the bar at a dive in Brooklyn, pouring drinks, dodging creeps, and sending every spare dollar back home. She wasn't looking for love, but when she heard of a game show that paid winners handsomely, she couldn't resist. But she sure as hell didn't expect a game show to change everything. Grayson Wolfe was a tech genius with the instincts of a wolf. He turned a teenage startup into a billion-dollar enterprise long before he was legally old enough to drink the whiskey he now sold in bulk. But when his father passed away, the old man's will came with a cruel twist: Grayson had to marry—and stay married for one full year—before he could legally inherit full control of the Wolfe fortune and family conglomerate. He didn't need love. He needed a name on paper. A bride. A loophole. In a move that shocked his board and delighted reality TV producers, Grayson entered a high-stakes televised dating show, ironically seeking a convenient partner. The premise? Win the game, win a partner…and a hefty cash prize. He didn't care about the money. He just needed someone willing to sign the damn papers. Armed with charm, wealth, and arrogance, Grayson assumed every woman would be throwing herself at him. Until the redhead in the red dress rejected him. Callie Monroe wasn't dazzled. She wasn't impressed. She hated 'controlling,' and that's what the man was; she couldn't understand why everyone wanted him. Yes, she wanted the money, but not when her pride and dignity were on the line. Grayson had never been humiliated, and so publicly; Callie intrigued and annoyed him, and somehow, he knew that their paths were still going to cross, and he would make her pay for her insolence. What happens when Grayson turns out to be Callie's boss at her new office? Their connection soon spirals into a dangerous game of desire, denial, and a deal that might cost him everything…especially his heart. He had everything… until her.
