Noah Kim, a second-year engineering student, has little time for distractions. His world is filled with late-night study sessions, caffeine-fueled deadlines, and the constant pressure of excelling in his rigorous program. But everything changes when he stumbles—literally—into The Roasted Haven, a cozy coffee shop near his university, and meets its enigmatic owner, Elias Carter. Elias, a 30-year-old former corporate worker turned café owner, is everything Noah isn’t—calm, composed, and hiding a mysterious past behind his charming smirk. Drawn into Elias's world of rich espresso, rainy evenings, and stolen glances, Noah finds himself coming back to the café for reasons beyond coffee. As their flirtation deepens into a passionate affair, Noah struggles with his growing emotions and the looming question of what Elias is hiding. When secrets from Elias’s past threaten to tear them apart, Noah must decide—will he walk away, or will he risk everything for the man who has become his greatest temptation? -------------- Excerpt: Noah didn’t know how he ended up in Elias’s apartment above the café, but the heat between them was undeniable. The scent of roasted coffee lingered in the air, mixing with the musk of Elias’s cologne as he pressed Noah against the wooden counter. "You keep coming back," Elias murmured, his fingers tracing Noah’s jaw. Noah swallowed, his heart hammering. "Maybe I like the coffee." Elias chuckled, his breath warm against Noah’s lips. "Liar." And then their mouths crashed together—hot, needy, desperate. Noah gasped as Elias’s hands slid under his hoodie, fingertips skimming the bare skin beneath. Every nerve in his body ignited as Elias lifted him onto the counter, positioning himself between Noah’s legs. "Tell me what you want," Elias whispered, voice low and teasing. Noah shivered. "You." Elias smirked. "Then hold on tight, baby." ------

"I'm actually an alien," says the little girl. I have no idea how to take this, Lachlan thinks. His training as a security guard didn't cover it, nor did it cover how to deal with running into a hot guy from a past he's trying to hide from, or avoid alien conspiracies when they come knocking. Wait, what? That last one must be wrong, aliens aren't real. ...Right?

I'm not sure exactly where this story will go, but if you want a story that isn't one of those harem, power fantasy type stories, then you've come to the right place. The only hope I have is to bring a story to life; not just about fireballs and whatnot, but also about the life, scenery, and people of a fantasy world. Idk if that sounds cliche, but that's the general idea I have for this story. I'll modify that statement to better explain this whole shebang as we move along. I'll also be developing the world, too; it'd be pretty awesome to have something on the side, like a bestiary type list of creatures and plants and materials, people, cultures, and whatnot--something along the lines of a fictional 'The Travels' by Marco Polo. My minimum word count per chapter is around 1,200 words. Of course, word count will vary between chapters, but 1,200 is just the minimum I've created for myself. That number will probably grow as my writing skills develop and I find my 'writing voice'. This is a complete passion project I've started again in the midst of a very busy time of my life; I can't promise any scheduling, but nonetheless, I think it'll be a fun ride for all of us, if a bit bumpy lol. Thank you for taking the time to check out my book! I hope you enjoy it :)
