You will discover countless surprises within its pages.
Beyond a hilarious yet heart-wrenching love triangle, this novel also presents stories of friendship, family, emotional wounds, and long-buried secrets from the past that slowly come to light. All of it blends into a story that is exciting, adorable, frustrating, emotionally stirring, and—before you even realize it—completely turns your feelings upside down.
Chapter 1
Have you ever thought that couples in this world sometimes feel unfair to some people?
Handsome guys end up with beautiful girls. The strong with the sexy. The rich with the rich. Or a handsome but poor guy with a girl who isn’t physically attractive but wealthy. It can also be the other way around—a beautiful but poor girl with an unattractive yet rich guy.
Strange, isn’t it?
Up to this point, have you noticed something quite odd about the picture of couples I just described?
If not, try paying attention to a place that clearly shows this phenomenon.
Shopping malls. Yes, malls.
In malls, you can see hundreds of couples walking side by side, holding hands. Among all of them, try to notice—who looks the most confident?
Alright, since everyone sees things differently, let me answer that. My answer is: those who are rich and physically close to perfect.
I don’t say that without reason. I have personal experience to back it up.
During a long school holiday, I once worked several times at a shopping mall as a clothing store attendant. Of course, the shop belonged to my friend’s parents. Otherwise, there was no way a student like me could pass the selection process so easily.
There, I often saw couples who made me feel jealous, annoyed, and miserable all at once. The guy was incredibly handsome, and the girl was just as beautiful and sexy. They walked together, hand in hand, chatting and laughing freely with high confidence, not caring about the people around them.
Just from the way they talked and behaved, I could tell they intentionally wanted to be the center of attention.
Alright, I get it. You’re a perfect couple. No need to overdo it. No need to make others feel inferior. But if that was your goal, then I have to admit—you succeeded. Because at that moment, I truly felt jealous, even though I couldn’t do anything about it.
Now, let’s refocus.
I also once saw another couple who was just as eye-catching. Not because of harmony, but because of the striking contrast.
The guy was skinny, tall, dark-skinned, with curly hair and very noticeable teeth. Behind him, several bodyguards followed wherever he went. Meanwhile, the girl beside him was completely different. Her skin was fair, her hair long and straight, her body slim, and her face beautiful.
Extremely contrasting. Yet the girl clung closely to the guy, as if she didn’t want even the slightest distance between them. Maybe because there was something she expected from him.
“Babe, I want this one.”
“Babe, do I look pretty in this dress?”
“Can we add one more?”
With just a single wink, followed by a quick peck on his cheek, the guy immediately replied, “Of course, babe. Anything you want.”
From those examples, a simple question arises. If the beautiful end up with the handsome, or the beautiful with the rich even if he’s not physically attractive, then what about those who have neither? Who are they supposed to be with? And what about the poor—who should they date?
Should it be like this: the unattractive with the unattractive, and the poor only with fellow poor people? Would you accept a fate like that?
As for me, clearly not.
Because tomorrow is my first day attending student orientation at Bakti Airlangga Senior High School, I have to prepare myself starting now. I want to prove that it’s not only beautiful and rich girls who can have handsome and popular boyfriends.
Who else can change our fate if not ourselves? Including our fate in love.
I have to fight. I have to be brave. Let’s go!

Underwater: The Silent Luna
It sounded like fate. Like rescue. Like the moment the universe finally chose her.

But the truth comes fast, and cruel.
The Alpha never asked for her. Never wanted her. Luna Amber arranged everything without his consent, driven by selfish motives Meadow couldn’t see until it was too late. What should have been tender and sacred becomes a cage, and Meadow is trapped in a nightmare she can’t wake from.
Falling for my boyfriend's Navy brother
"What is wrong with me?
Why does being near him make my skin feel too tight, like I’m wearing a sweater two sizes too small?
It’s just newness, I tell myself firmly.
He’s my boyfirend’s brother.
This is Tyler’s family.
I’m not going to let one cold stare undo that.
**

When My ankle injury forces her to recover at the family lake house, I‘m stuck with both brothers. What starts as mutual hatred slowly turns into something forbidden.
I'm falling for my boyfriend's brother.
**
I hate girls like her.
Entitled.
Delicate.
And still—
Still.
The image of her standing in the doorway, clutching her cardigan tighter around her narrow shoulders, trying to smile through the awkwardness, won’t leave me.
Neither does the memory of Tyler. Leaving her here without a second thought.
I shouldn’t care.
I don’t care.
It’s not my problem if Tyler’s an idiot.
It’s not my business if some spoiled little princess has to walk home in the dark.
I’m not here to rescue anyone.
Especially not her.
Especially not someone like her.
She’s not my problem.
And I’ll make damn sure she never becomes one.
But when my eyes fell on her lips, I wanted her to be mine.
BROKEN TRUST
Neither of them knew she was carrying his child.
Emily’s affair didn’t just end her marriage—it erased the life she thought was guaranteed. Ryan left without looking back, carrying his anger like armor and leaving Emily alone with regret she would never outrun. Three years later, fate drags them back into each other’s world, along with a little girl who has Ryan’s eyes and a truth that shatters everything he thought he knew.
Old wounds reopen, grief masquerades as rage, and love refuses to stay buried. As parenthood binds them together and the past demands accountability, Emily and Ryan must face the question neither of them is ready to answer: is broken trust the end of their story… or the beginning of a love forged through loss, forgiveness, and brutal honesty?
From Substitute To Queen
Heartbroken, Sable discovered Darrell having sex with his ex in their bed, while secretly transferring hundreds of thousands to support that woman.
Even worse was overhearing Darrell laugh to his friends: "She's useful—obedient, doesn't cause trouble, handles housework, and I can fuck her whenever I need relief. She's basically a live-in maid with benefits." He made crude thrusting gestures, sending his friends into laughter.
In despair, Sable left, reclaimed her true identity, and married her childhood neighbor—Lycan King Caelan, nine years her senior and her fated mate. Now Darrell desperately tries to win her back. How will her revenge unfold?
From substitute to queen—her revenge has just begun!
Death By Breathing
Females are claimed. Controlled. Bred.
Alex swore she would die before becoming any man’s possession.
Fiercely independent and determined to escape the fate forced on women like her, Alex has spent years surviving under the radar. But everything changes when the powerful Vandicoff brothers—three ruthless Alpha rulers—discover she is their true mate.
The moment they claim her, war ignites.
Alex refuses to submit to their bond, their authority, or the dangerous pull between them. She fights every command, every touch, every instinct threatening to drag her under. But the more she resists, the more obsessed the brothers become.
What begins as a battle for control soon sends shockwaves through the entire Alpha world, threatening the Vandicoff empire itself.
Can Alex survive three possessive Alphas without losing herself in the process?
Or will the one thing she craves most—love—become the very thing that destroys her?
This is a very dark romance with many levels. The things that happen to the FMC are horrific no matter how the men in her life attempt to label it. What happens to her is SA no if ands or buts. I don’t romanticize it, I call it what it is. Other characters, including the men, try to reframe it into something else, but she always calls it what it is. There’s no hearts and flowers between the main characters in the first half of this book despite the attempts of her men to change that, so please don’t think it is that type of romance book. Alex is tough, but she is put through a lot, and comes out the other side a stronger woman. If you can handle the darkness and emerge with her on the other side to a new life with the happiness she deserves, then please read her story.
Trigger warning. This is a dark romance, and it contains scenes of SA on page throughout the book. There is also kidnapping, trafficking, and depictions of torture. So, please be aware.
To protect what’s mine

Until Eric Thompson appeared.

He offered her a hand when no one else would. Then, he offered her a deal:
A marriage in name only. A shield against her past. A chance to rebuild.
Elena accepted, expecting a cold arrangement between strangers. But behind closed doors, Eric’s carefully guarded control unraveled—and so did hers. Their chemistry was explosive, their nights intense, and the lines between business and pleasure blurred beyond recognition.
He was the one man she could never have… and the only one she couldn’t resist.
