Summary
Palmer has spent her whole life packing up and starting over.
With an alcoholic mother, eviction notices taped to doors, and a childhood split between trailers and cars, she's learned not to trust stability-or people who promise it. Music is the only thing that's ever felt like home. Her voice, her guitar, and the songs she writes in the dark are the reasons she keeps going.
When Palmer's life implodes again and she's dragged across borders and broken promises, she collides with Joey Vale-an angry, reckless guitarist with a self-destructive streak and a past he refuses to heal from. Joey is used to being invisible unless he's wanted in secret. Palmer is used to being left behind. Together, they make sense in a way neither of them is ready to admit.
As music pulls them closer-through bands, late nights, and stages that feel like salvation-old wounds resurface. Toxic exes, addiction, jealousy, and the fear of being someone's mistake threaten everything they're building. Loving each other might be the best thing that's ever happened to them... or the thing that finally breaks them both.- Language:

The Way Everything Changed: Seeing Him Made Me Whole by ElegantAngelWriter
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)

Summary
Karen Childress has always known who she is.
She understands discipline, boundaries, and the quiet authority of self-possession. Attention has never been rare for her—but meaning has. In the late 1950s, amid rehearsals, hallways, and the careful choreography of high school life, Karen is not looking for love. She is looking for alignment.
Ted Wheeler enters her world not as a spectacle, but as a presence—steady, attentive, unassuming. He watches without claiming. He listens without urgency. And slowly, deliberately, Karen begins to see him seeing her.
Set during their senior year and anchored by the Oklahoma! stage production, this story traces Karen’s inner life before and after meeting Ted: how attraction sharpens into recognition, how restraint deepens desire, and how love reveals itself not as an event, but as orientation.
This is not the story of being chosen.
It is the story of choosing—again and again—quietly, without fear.Series

Summary
Hermione sabe o quanto ela está pateticamente sedenta, mas não consegue se controlar. Ela fará qualquer coisa para acabar na cama com Draco Malfoy. E, uma vez que ela o tenha, será apenas uma questão de admitir ao mundo que a Garota de Ouro está transando com um ex-Comensal da Morte.
Com sua vida cheia de Voldemort reencarnado como secretário, suas duas melhores amigas psicopatas turbulentas, elfos domésticos apostando em seu relacionamento, tentativas de assassinato contra sua vida e seu parceiro odiando profundamente seu gato, admitir isso é um pouco mais fácil dizer do que fazer, como se vê.
Leia pelos orgasmos, fique pelo Valentino.
**
Com o dedo imóvel dentro dela, ele escreveu uma nota e deslizou o pergaminho entre eles. “Acha que consegue ter um orgasmo sem que eles percebam?”
Oh, merda. Oh, merda. Malfoy ia fazê-la ter um orgasmo no meio de uma reunião. Draco Malfoy, o homem pelo qual ela era obcecada... quer dizer, interessada. E não havia a menor chance de Hermione ir impedi-lo.

Summary
Harry learned Louis’s schedule without ever meaning to.
It had started with patterns—the way Tuesdays and Thursdays always seemed to bend around the same hour, the same bench outside the humanities building where the afternoon light fell soft and gold. Louis was always there, laughing too loudly, leaning back on his hands like the world had never once asked anything hard of him.
And she was always with him.

Summary
“Look, this might sound a little strange… but could you hear me out for a moment?” Phainon asks, his tone hopeful.
Mydei supposes he signed himself to it. He gives a short nod. Phainon fidgets with the bandage between his fingers.
“I wanted today to be special.” He pauses, his shoulders dropping slightly. “There’s someone I’ve wanted to ask out for a long time.”
Oh, by Nikador balls. Mydei was really going to have to sit here and listen to Phainon gush about his undying crush on Cyrene, wasn’t he? He clenches his fists inside the costume, a wave of discomfort washing over him.
Mydei is working part-time as a mascot at the recently opened Chimera Park. While wearing his Fig Stew costume, he unexpectedly befriends a cheerful teenager, who happens to be both his classmate and his long-time secret crush for over two years, Phainon.
What could possibly go wrong?

Summary
Corinium Television, a once-prestigious production company tucked away in the English countryside, is in crisis. To salvage its public image, Tony Baddingham calls in a specialist: Alexandra Thorne: a glacial redhead, divorced from a powerful politician, a single mother, and a ruthless strategist.
Reluctantly, she returns to the Cotswolds, surrounded by rumors, former friends, old enemies, and a workplace unsure whether to fear her or admire her. Amid budget cuts, sabotaged costumes, and crumbling scripts, Alexandra must lead the charge to modernize Corinium… and stop Venturer from claiming victory.
What she didn’t expect? Declan O’Hara: a rugged, serious, mildly infuriating Irish journalist with an inconvenient history of accidental charm.
Between dangerous flirtations, whispered exchanges in crowded rooms, behind-the-scenes cold wars, and nights where there’s only one bed… what happens when she begins to suspect she may have chosen the wrong side of the story?
Too late to run. And Alexandra Thorne has never been one to back down from a fight.
