"She lives quietly, hidden from the world, a timid soul who has only known fear and solitude. He stands before her as a wall of ice-cold words, hard eyes, a man feared by all. To her, he is cruel. To himself, he is a shield. For beneath his ruthless exterior lies a love so fierce it could burn through the coldest winter. She is the last petal of warmth in his frozen world... but can a fragile bloom survive when spring is forbidden to come?"

---------------------------- Alex never thought she could love anybody. Her family left her to foster care, and she hasn't been able to ever make any real friends. She plans to live a simple boring life, possibly until death comes for her, but is that what she really wants. No, perhaps she just needs someone... someone she never realized was just around the corner from her life. Shirley has had a great life up until now, at least she likes to think so. She does prefer looking at things through a more positive lens, so things like her debilitating health conditions seem to slip her by. Eating less food could only be a good thing right? Well, soon she would learn, not only to take better care of herself, but also to love. An experience she has yet to discover, until her lingering eyes fall far too long on one particular girl. ~~~~~ Wendy was the sweetest girl alive, with simply no one to share the overwhelming stream of love she had to share. When a storm hits her town, she's locked inside, desperate and alone for what seems to be an eternity. But unbeknownst to her, this would bring her closer to love than ever before. Marissa was getting over her past trauma, and only games could ever do that for her. During yet another month of locking herself up in her room, she found someone who was different, a light through the darkness that was her life, an angel, to save her tortured soul from damnation. At least, that's how she might phrase it. ---------------------------- The title was chosen years ago, so I decided to leave it be and combine these two stories. This will be a moderate length mini story for the two couples, exploring their journeys which happen at completely separate times. These are the untold stories of our side characters from my other book's shared universe, but reading those two books are not exactly necessary to enjoy this one. Either way, this is made for those who want to know more about these characters, so please enjoy.

[REKINDLING LOVE TROPE] Hopeless romantic and poet Nora Murphy has just gotten out of a terrible relationship. All she wants to do is fix her writer's block and move on with her life. To her luck, the first step to moving on starts ten years in the past, when she has to go to her ten year high school reunion. Luca Brince is content with his teaching job as psychology professor, and meaningless one night stands. After seeing his parents marriage fall apart, he doesn't think there's any point to it. Yet he can't seem to shake his friends and family off his back to settle down. She said she'd never go back to the man who broke her heart ten years ago, but when they get locked in the janitors closet together at their 10 year high school reunion, they strike up a deal. Nora will be Luca's date to a wedding to get his friends off his back about settling down, and Luca will let her pick his brain about the psychology behind love for her new book. She wanted a fresh start, but is her fresh start with her ex high school sweetheart? Quote from the book: "He looked nothing short of beautiful, his features sharp and strong-willed, but when he broke out into a grin his features softened into feminine beauty. Two completely opposite sides of a sword, yet both struck me somewhere in the same place that hadn't forgotten about him all these years." ***still undergoing edits!!!*** ***trigger warning: domestic violence, strong language, sexual contents***

Marcus never meant to touch her. But the moment he did, something ancient and volatile took root. Reece is disciplined. She's powerful, both as a mage and as a mogul of the wine industry. Marcus is a *decommissioned* sentient weapon. He's emotionally guarded and barely holding himself together after being chewed up and spit out by the military and high magic commission. He isn't even supposed to feel magic, let alone siphon it from Reece and wield it like it's his own. In fact, he was carefully designed to avoid such a scenario. But when an accidental surge binds him and Reece together, it triggers something unprecedented, intimate, and dangerous. *Addictive* even. The government discarded Marcus, but now that he and Reece outclass even the most seasoned of mages and defy the current scientific understanding of how magic works - the feds want their weapon back. It started with an intoxicating spark. It ended with a sobering realization: the new pair can't be apart without unraveling. But being together might be worse. Because Marcus would do anything to safeguard her. War crimes included. And Reece might just let him.

As a certified golden retriever, he barrels through life with laughter, charm, and zero chill. He's the exact type Hailey swore off--persistent, ridiculous, too handsome for his own good... and annoyingly hard to ignore. After one unforgettable kiss cut short, fate throws them back together.

But behind his sunshine smile is a man with secrets of his own. She doesn't do love. He doesn't do serious. But the chemistry between them? That might just take off-whether Hailey's ready to fly or not.

(The full version of this book is available on Webnovel!) "Do you see this?" I held up a card between my fingers. Jason looked at the card, then back at me, confusion clear as day in his eyes. "What is this?" "A wild card, obviously," he shrugged, looking like he was about to tell me to get to the point. All in due time. "Obviously," my smile probably looked sarcastic, like I was making fun of him. Jason had no business being fussy with the position he was in. "Take a look at your surroundings, my love. The situation you find yourself in is less than ideal, and I'm the only one who can save you," I was done being the hurt one. The one who was always left behind. "Now tell me again. What is this?" "A wild card." "This is what I am to you right now," I put the card down on the table and slid it towards him. "And whether it wins or loses the game for you is your move." ~°~°~°~°~°~ An accidental marriage. A drunken mistake, or a premeditated plan for revenge? Amaria doesn't know what to make of her new situation, and due to unforeseen circumstances, she is trapped. Forced to accept her fate until the time is right, a typically reserved executive finds herself at a crossroad between following logic, and giving in to her bleeding heart. The man she calls her husband does not make it easy for her either, but however she decides to look at it, she reaches the same conclusion. You can't change a player. As for him? Well, it's up to him to decide what he'll do with this new mess he's stuck in.
