Summer Vacation

In a summer of creative stagnation, polar-opposite writers Augustus and January strike a deal: he’ll try his hand at romance while she tackles literary fiction. As they exchange field trips and genres, they discover unexpected truths about themselves and their beliefs, challenging their notions of love and happily ever afters. But amidst the writing challenges, they adamantly declare: no falling in love allowed.


New Life

Viv, a battle-weary orc, seeks to trade her sword for a new life by opening Thune’s first coffee shop. Yet, success is hindered by rivals and the city’s unfamiliarity with coffee. To achieve her dream, Viv must forge unexpected alliances and navigate uncharted territory, discovering that the greatest rewards lie in the connections formed along the way.


Wanderlust

Zachary Ezra Rawlins stumbles upon a mysterious book containing stories eerily connected to his own life, leading him on a journey through hidden clues and underground libraries. Alongside Mirabel, a fierce protector, and Dorian, a charming ally, Zachary explores a magical realm of lost cities and whispered tales, discovering his true purpose amidst the secrets of the ancient archive.


Business Trip

Eva Mercy, a single mom and erotica writer, crosses paths with Shane Hall, an award-winning novelist, reigniting a passion they shared fifteen years ago. As they navigate their rekindled connection amidst a steamy Brooklyn summer, Eva grapples with old wounds. She desires answers from Shane before he disappears from her life again. With humor and heart, “Seven Days in June” explores second chances at love and the complexities of creative life, motherhood, and relationships.


Regency Holiday

In Regency London, Oliver Bennet struggles with the suffocating expectations of society, forced to live as a girl named Elizabeth. Secretly exploring the city as a young gentleman, Oliver finds unexpected companionship with Darcy, a boy who sees him for who he truly is. As their connection deepens, Oliver faces a daunting choice: conform to societal norms or embrace his true identity and pursue love and freedom at great risk.
