Rewritten Hearts
By @john1208
Harper Quinn, a bestselling romance author celebrated for her magically immersive stories, lives a life of vibrant fiction, ironically never having experienced real love. Her world, typically a whirlwind of book tours from glamorous L.A. to serene Malibu beach houses, takes a dark turn when death threats from an obsessed fan force her to hire protection. Enter Asher Vance, a brooding, emotionally unavailable bodyguard whose stoic silence is the antithesis of Harper's bubbly, perpetually optimistic nature. Confined within the tense bubble of forced proximity, Harper, who usually hides her insecurities behind humor and fictional worlds, finds herself unwittingly falling for the very man her stories would never conceive. As she navigates the growing suspense and the unexpected intimacy, Harper must confront the thrilling, messy reality of a love story unfolding beyond the pages, challenging everything she thought she knew about happily ever afters.

I Bought My Killer's Empire
By @john1208
The cold marble of the gala floor was still vibrating from the murmurs of the crowd when my husband, Brevin, took the microphone to publicly brand me a hysterical burden. I didn't cry. Not this time. I still felt the phantom wind of falling from our penthouse balcony, pushed to my death by Brevin and his smirking mistress, Olenka. But as I stand here humiliated in my second life, a strange notification vibrates on my phone. It’s an encrypted transfer of billions, alongside a voice note recorded by me, moments before I was pushed. My murdered self knew she was going to die - and she successfully sent her shadow-empire's access codes back in time. I have always been painfully shy, but when it comes to protecting my little brother Timo, I am unmovable. With my future self’s war chest, I approach the one man Brevin fears: Zaren Ilves, my fiercely loyal childhood bodyguard who mysteriously returned as a self-made billionaire. Together, we’ll orchestrate a hostile takeover to fire Brevin on a global broadcast, while Olenka’s obsession with perfection ends on a cheap surgeon’s table. But will Zaren’s fierce devotion shatter the walls around my heavily guarded heart before the final hammer falls?
