Summary
Cullen Rutherford fell in love with Inquisitor Lavellan, even though such selfish and undisciplined lapses in judgement go against everything he thought he knew about himself. That was bad enough. After the Inquisitor and Solas spent two straight nights together in an all-too-public tryst in Skyhold, Cullen knew that he and Lavellan were just not meant to be. Now, there is nothing left to do but cope.
His work is his safe haven, but reminders of the Inquisitor and Solas mock him everywhere he looks. In his beat up old journal, Cullen tries to escape his heartbreak by going to the first and last real home he ever had.

Summary
“His life had always orbited Oscar’s, like the smaller moon that never quite got far enough away to be anything else. Now, he could feel the orbit tightening, gravity pulling them both toward the same center. He reached the Lexus, curled his fingers into the edge of the tarp, and took a breath. This was the line. He crossed it.”
Nico moves between worlds that should never touch. Private school uniforms and strip mall parking lots. Fluorescent classrooms and salvage yards. The fragile promise of escape and the older, fiercer pull of survival. At Woodlawn Preparatory Academy, there are quizzes and scholarship expectations and the slow, bewildering possibility of being seen. In Oscar’s orbit, there’s loyalty, danger, and the kind of love that has teeth in it.
When one world begins to bleed into the other, Nico finds himself caught between the life he’s always known and one he doesn’t know how to want.

Summary
Xie Lian was banished from the Heavens a long time ago. He is not a god anymore. He does not have any believers left. He is nothing more than an old tale– or the punchline of a twisted joke.
That's how it should be anyway.
But the world could never be so clear cut. From the ashes, life will bloom. From the sad ending of the first story, another begins. A new tale, a new title, a new sort of faith. Others may not notice the kind man showing up left and right, but those beneath it all do.
If the people say you are a god, then that is what you are. Even if you do not realize it yourself.Or: Xie Lian seeks to help others whenever he can for 800 years. 800 years is more than enough time for said others to notice.

Summary
Aria Ai-Hua Huang is everything the tabloids love to write about: the twenty-five-year-old Chinese-American heiress who runs her father’s luxury empire with flawless grace. With her sharp wit, striking beauty, and unapologetic confidence, she commands boardrooms as easily as she dazzles at galas. But beneath the glittering façade, Aria hides an ache she can’t shake. Every man she meets sees the heiress, not the woman. Every relationship has been shallow, transactional, and exhausting. She doesn’t want diamonds or adoration—she wants someone who can strip her down to her most vulnerable self and still choose to stay.
Yoo Hyesung. Soft and the kind of hopeless romantic Aria has never taken seriously. A scholarship student from Seoul with his own scars, Hyesung isn’t dazzled by her wealth or reputation. He sees her in a way no one else does—messy, human. Their chemistry is undeniable. What begins as an indulgence for Aria becomes something deeper, something that terrifies her more than her father’s looming expectations: real love.
Together, they must decide whether their differences make them combustible—or if the sin they’ve found in each other is the one thing they can’t live without…

Summary
A mining accident leaves Orm stranded on a mountain temple, she does everything in her power to get away from this place and back on flat ground.
But the dawnsingers that inhabit the temple are hesitant to let her go. Her release could mean the end of everything they fought to preserve for centuries.
To mitigate the risk, they try negotiation. Lingling Kwong, one of the youngest dawnsingers, is tasked with the “assimilation” of the newcomer. She must befriend her, grow close to her, and, in the end, either convince her to stay forever—or be silenced.
The assignment is simple enough. But as the days fly by, conflicting feelings surface that blur the lines between duty and infatuation.
As love threatens to sweep them off their feet, Orm and Ling must decide where their loyalties lie—tethered to the earth and sky, respectively, or bound, irrevocably, to each other.

Summary
Lucio Corsi is twenty-two, broke, and stubbornly chasing a dream nobody else seems able to see. Between tiny gigs, overdue rent, and late-night doubts, he's barely keeping himself afloat.
Then there's the girl who keeps appearing.
Obviously younger despite pretending she's not, sharp-tongued, perpetually exhausted, and carrying enough secrets to fill a lifetime. She drifts from couch to couch, works jobs that don't ask questions, disappears without warning, and always somehow finds her way back.
Neither of them is looking for love.
But somewhere between sleepless nights, borrowed sweaters, train rides and all the times they almost lose each other, friendship becomes dependence, dependence becomes devotion, and the line between being someone's shelter and being their ruin grows harder and harder to see.
A story about lonely people, beautiful mistakes, and the dangerous things we mistake for love.

Summary
If Olve changed for the better, promising a real commitment and not just empty words, then Harald couldn't give up on him this time, could he?
But in reality, things couldn't be that pure and convenient. Not when beyond the veil of illusions and the time lapse that they had growing from adolescents into young adults was just an excuse to gain credibility that they could make something work. Not when they knew what they were dealing with before they could even start.

Summary
The apartment was smaller than the word apartment deserved.
Calling it a box would have been more honest. Four walls, a ceiling low enough that Peter felt like he’d bang his head trying to stand up from unpacking, and a window that technically opened but jammed half the time. The place smelled faintly of mildew, maybe because of the carpet - or maybe because this whole building had given up on life a few decades ago and was just waiting for someone merciful to bulldoze it.
He told himself it was fine. He told himself worse things had happened. Which, technically, was true.
That didn’t make him feel any better.
