[Slow Brew Series 2 of 2] [Completed]
Bea's dream was always to open a cozy, charming little book cafe. My dream-me, Jules, it's my story now, bitches-was to avoid unnecessary stress, talking about my own feelings, and James Hale. So naturally, the universe decided to shove all three onto my lap.
Now I'm thrust into managing Beaumont's Books & Brews-aka Bea's pride and joy (aka the haunted mess of a coffee shop we're scrubbing, gutting, and dragging into existence from the afterlife). Which would be great... if she didn't have to share the title of "co-owner" with a walking migraine in designer loafers.
James Hale. My archnemesis. My best friend's boyfriend's brother. Also, somehow, my boss.
We made out once. It was a mistake. A moment of weakness. A tragedy for the history books. And now he's here. Every day. Breathing my air, drinking sugary, over-creamed monstrosities he dares to call coffee, and always-always smirking at me.
I take my coffee black. No syrup. No foam art. No pulling out emotional baggage mid-espresso. The way coffee should be. Just pure, tasteful pleasure-with a bitter finish.
Welcome to Beaumont's. May the odds be ever in my favor.

Sorry, You're My Vice (And I'm Your Chaos)
Tasha Kwan runs on sarcasm, caffeine, and a toddler named Ollie who calls her "Tashie" like she's both his nanny and his sidekick. Ghost-Axel's right-hand man and the Iron Vultures MC Vice President-runs on silence, control, and loyalty. They're complete opposites. They don't even know each other yet. But when the worlds of bikes, betrayal, and blanket-fort "church" collide, the chaos is inevitable. From a carpark meet, to a storage closet, to a life none of them expected... this is the story of what happens when caffeine meets control, sarcasm meets silence, and a tiny toddler wingman accidentally engineers the greatest love story in MC history. ⚡ Part of the "Sorry" Universe (spin-off of Sorry, I'm an Idiot (And You're My Wife)) 💀 Dual POV (Tasha + Ghost) 😂 Heavy on sarcasm, comedy, chaos ❤️ Found family, MC drama, slow-burn romance, and five kids later... New title covers coming your way soon 👀 And yes, before anyone else decides to cry "AI!" - let's be real. If AI could procrastinate as well as me, forget its own plot twists mid-chapter, or type with biscuit crumbs in the keyboard while humming along to bad 2000s playlists... then sure, maybe it wrote this. But no. It's just me, a chaotic brain, too much caffeine, and Wattpad's draft button judging me silently. 😂Complete

"I bandaged everything the best I could. It will need stitches. However, I'm afraid that it is broken. Same as your leg. Broken and needs stitches. How's your head feeling? I haven't been able to get that sucker to stop bleeding." His voice sliced through the air. I stare at him, confused, looking around, wanting to be anywhere but here. He clears his throat once again. "Mate, did you hear me?" "How is your head feeling?" I close my eyes. What the fuck? What the fuck? I was angry, annoyed, and frightened. What, mate? What cruel world would make me mate with a wolf? No, no, no... My arm and leg were throbbing intensely. My head was screaming. I brought my fingers up to my head to try and rub the pain away. I needed to leave. Now. I told myself. My mind is still groggy, unable to swiftly move my body like I need to. I didn't even notice I was crying until his voice rang through my ears once again. His footsteps quickly, walking across the hardwood floor. The first book in the series Not very good lol 😆 Completed, still needs editing though let me know what you think!Complete

She refused in a low tone. "I said look at me," I repeated in an authoritative voice. Slowly, she lifted her head and stared deep inside my eyes. "Tell me the reason, Caramel. I want everything back to normal between us." I tried to persuade her again. "I will do anything to make everything back to normal like how we used to be. I promise." "You really will do anything?" "Yes, I will." "Let me move out from the house. I don't want to stay with you anymore." Her words strike me like a lightning. I narrowed my eyes, finding the truth in her request. "No, that won't do," I shook my head in disagreement. "You said you will do anything just now." She exclaimed. "Okay, if that's what you want." *The picture doesn't belong to me, credit to the original owner.Complete
Karma's Heart
Karma's Heart is a slow burn, emotionally charged love story between two opposites who clash, combust, and slowly come undone in each other's orbit. Pelo moved into the apartment complex for peace, not problems. Especially not ones like Karma-a shirtless, smug, maddening neighbour who insists on touching her boundaries and tipping her world off balance. She's prickly. He's persistent. But what begins as tension, irritation, and barbed banter evolves into something layered and tender: stolen glances, slow confessions, unspoken knowing. Through sickness and missteps, dreams and doorsteps, arguments and almosts, they learn what it means to choose each other. Over and over. To hold space. To rebuild trust. To stay soft in a world that made them hard. Because sometimes love doesn't arrive gently. Sometimes, it knocks like consequence- But stays like heart. --- OPENING LINES (Draft): Pelo didn't like people. She especially didn't like him. The first time Karma touched her, she recoiled like he'd passed a live wire to her skin. Germs, she told herself. But it wasn't just that. It was the way his hand lingered. The way he looked at her like he already knew how the story would go. And she hated that. Because she had moved here for peace. Not for a man with tattoos, trouble in his grin, and a voice that could talk her into bad decisions if she stood too close too long. Not for someone who made her say please in her head when she didn't want him to follow, and made her scream into pillows when he did. But Karma never asked for permission. And the worst part? A small, buried part of her didn't want him to. #1 poeticlove #1 steamymoments #1 blackwomenlead #3 touchstarved #1 softmasculinity #1 blackgirlmagic

Beside
''Tell me how it feels,'' he whispers. "Good," I gasp, my entire body trembling. Deeper. Harder. Perfect. Like we've been doing this for years. His hand finds my jaw, fingers firm as he tilts my head up, making me look at him. And that's it. Waves of heat zip to my toes as my nails scrape down his back. I don't think about what comes next -- him pulling his shirt on and leaving. I don't feel heartbroken when I imagine myself alone in here. It's casual, our intimacy. And it's too late to renegotiate. ***** When Fox hooks up with his new roommate at a masked club, he has no idea their fling is just the beginning. The woman he's living with is the same girl who shared candy with him under a playground slide. 𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙨 𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙨𝙩 𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙨 𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙨 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣 STANDALONE NOVEL *ANGSTY EMOTIONAL SLOW BURN *MEN YEARNING Copyright © 2024-present Laurel Montaze (immoralLaurel).
