New Adult Stories

Genre: New Adult / Contemporary Romance Five years after her first heartbreak, Emilia Hart still sleeps in her ex-boyfriend's white tee. It's worn thin, impossibly soft, and holds memories she never learned how to let go of. She tells herself it's harmless-until she realizes the man she never stopped loving has moved on... with her best friend. When the truth finally comes out, everything unravels. Secrets spill. Hearts break. And one brave, selfless decision sets unfinished love back in motion. As Emilia and Lucas circle each other again, they're forced to confront what never truly disappeared-late-night memories, a gold locket from their first anniversary, words left unsaid, and a love that quietly endured five years of silence. What begins as cautious *baby steps* turns into something deeper, messier, and far more real than before. "The White Tee" is a tender, second-chance romance about first love, emotional honesty, and the milestones that shape a life-moving back in, rebuilding trust, parenthood, marriage, and the beautiful chaos of choosing each other again. Soft, heartfelt, and deeply romantic, this is a story about love that never really ends-just waits.

Before the first chapter of The Spider's Truth ever begins, whispers are already spreading through the kingdom of Celestria. Whispers of unease. Of doubt. Of people beginning to notice cracks in the foundation of faith that has ruled their lives for generations. This series gathers those whispers, letting you, the reader, decide what is fact and what is fabricated. Anonymous letters, some are confessions, others desperate pleas. Notes tucked under temple doors, nailed to market stalls, passed hand-to-hand in quiet terror. Each letter comes from an ordinary citizen living under a holy tithe they cannot escape and a crown that demands more every season. None of the writers know the whole truth, only that something is wrong, and that getting caught speaking of it means death. A NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR: These letters take place in the world of my upcoming fantasy novel, The Spider's Truth, but you do not need to know the story to read them. They stand on their own, small windows into a kingdom built on fear, debt, and secrets no one dares speak aloud. These letters do not spoil the events of my novel. Instead, they explore the world around it: the fear, the tension, the questioning, and the small acts of defiance that begin the bubbling of rebellion in the shadows long before a story truly begins. Thank you for reading! -Ann

Aria is the beautiful, smart, and beloved daughter-praised by everyone and trusted with their father's company. But her twin sister, Alina, lives constantly in her shadow-unseen, uncelebrated, and forced to work under Aria's command. When Aria causes a major financial loss to a powerful, mysterious company owned by an unknown billionaire, their father is forced to pay a large sum in compensation. But it's not enough. In return, the company demands an unusual form of settlement: the CEO responsible must marry their CEO until the debt is cleared. To protect Aria, their parents make a secret decision. Alina is forced to marry the unknown CEO in Aria's place. She's terrified-of the marriage, the man, and the new life ahead. No one knows what he looks like, and he's never appeared in the media. He's a complete enigma. Alina's first night in the mansion is unsettling-she's kissed from behind by a stranger while humming a song known only to her and a long-lost love. The kiss stirs something in her, something painfully familiar. And when she finally meets her husband, Darren Blackwood, she's stunned. He looks familiar-too familiar-but she can't place him. As days pass, memories from eight years ago start surfacing. Clues hidden in the house, songs, and gestures slowly unravel the truth: Darren is the man who once loved her and vanished from her life. The heartbreak returns-but so does the spark. Their love story reignites, beginning with slow trust and deep emotion. But Aria, full of jealousy and rage, isn't done. She wages a subtle war to tear them apart, using lies and manipulation to destroy Alina's newfound happiness. Yet, against the odds, and despite the pain of the past, Darren and Alina prove that love-true, hard-earned love-can conquer even the deepest wounds and fiercest enemies.

In this digital world, she is a powerful chieftain, leading her tribe of savages to build a new civilization. But when the game's "NPCs" start to bleed and cry, when they rise up in bloody rebellion and tear down the false safety of civilization, Sofia realizes in terror that this is not a game at all. It's a real, brutal, and terrifying new world. In this world, hunger is the ultimate enemy and morality is a luxury she can no longer afford. After witnessing a neighboring tribe's gruesome revolt and suffering a catastrophic defeat in her own self-styled "Hunger Games," Sofia's mind shatters. She is no longer a player, but a prisoner caught between two realities. She switches between worlds, witnessing blood and death again and again. Can Sofia survive this desperate fight for existence? How will she face the lives she once treated as nothing more than game data? And when the game is no longer a game, what becomes of her? Welcome to the Savage Age.

The city doesn't notice the darkness at first. It settles in slowly-between unanswered questions, unlit streets, and the uneasy feeling that someone is always watching. Bodies begin to surface with no clear connection and no mercy. The police chase theories that go nowhere, while fear quietly reshapes daily life. Doors lock earlier. Lights stay on longer. People listen for footsteps that never come. The story follows a woman moving through this growing unease, navigating nights filled with silence and thoughts she can't escape. She is observant, reflective, and disturbingly calm in the presence of violence. Certain details hold her attention longer than they should. Certain places feel wrong once the lights go out...
