Under Different Stars
by Tazz McGregor
Aislyn Hart has spent twenty-three years being ordinary; just finished her residency with her general practitioner diploma in hand, she comes home to assist as camp nurse, daughter of the woman who built this place from nothing, the tall, dark-haired anomaly in a family she's never quite matched. Then the dreams start: two moons, silver water, a war she's never seen and can't forget. Then the fire she can't explain. Between the boy who charms her without trying and the one who can't stand to look at her... and can't stop. Aislyn learns the truth her parents never could tell her. She isn't from here. She was carried through a dying portal as a newborn, the last gift of a mother who died to save her from a war that followed her anyway. Now that war has found camp. Michael wants what her blood carries. Jaxon has wanted her... bond-deep since the day they met, even if his pride wouldn't let her see it. She was told once that some things aren't built to blend in. They're built to stand out, stand tall, and find the ones who stand with them. She's about to find out exactly what she's built for.
What happens in Vegas (Finished)
by Tazz McGregor
Kenna wasn't supposed to fall in love in Las Vegas. She was there to celebrate her 21st birthday, keep a promise to her late mother, and go home. Instead, a handsome stranger stole her table. His best friend married her best friend by morning. And before she had time to catch her breath, a letter she had been too afraid to open shattered everything she thought she knew about who she was and where she came from. Matt is everything Kenna didn't plan for: infuriating, warm, and completely unwilling to let her walk away. He carries his own complications: a scheming ex-fiancee who will stop at nothing, a father more interested in power than people, and a family that treats love like a business transaction. Kenna has complications of her own. Hidden in the bottom of her handbag is a letter from her mother, her last words, that ties Kenna to the very world Matt has been trying to escape. What starts as one reckless night in the city that never sleeps quickly becomes something neither of them expected: a chance at the kind of love that only works when you are willing to fight for it. What Happens in Vegas... is a story about the family you are given, the family you choose, and the ones you find when you least expect to. About secrets that protect and secrets that wound. About a mother's love that reaches further than she ever knew. And about two people who walked into Las Vegas looking for one thing and walked out with everything.
A Cage Called Destiny
by vielwords
Anaya never believed in marriage. To escape every proposal, she created a simple game—three impossible wishes, one café, and a list of conditions no man had ever accepted. Until Reyansh. Instead of walking away, he challenged every rule she had built around herself, forcing her into a marriage neither of them could have imagined. What begins as a clash of two stubborn strangers slowly turns into something far more complicated, where trust is fragile, emotions are dangerous, and every answer only seems to raise more questions. But not every story begins where it appears to. Some truths are buried beneath silence. Some promises were made long before they ever met. And sometimes, the greatest betrayal isn't the one you see coming—it's the one that has been waiting from the very beginning.
About Contemporary Romance
Contemporary romance is romance with both feet in the present-day real world. No dragons, no dukes, no time travel — just recognizable people in recognizable places: the coffee shop, the open-plan office, the small town everyone swore they'd leave. The lack of a fantastical hook puts all the weight on what the genre does best — chemistry, banter, emotional honesty, and the specific ache of two modern people figuring out whether they fit.
It's the largest and most consistent slice of the romance market, the home of the tropes readers search for by name — small-town romance, workplace romance, single parent, grumpy-sunshine, second-chance. On serial platforms it thrives because the slow-burn structure rewards the weekly-update rhythm: every chapter is another beat of the relationship earning its way forward.
