Rowen Grey

She has a strict rule about one-night stands: one night, and done. He has a strict rule about her: forever.

Jacinta Hernandez doesn't do relationships. She does strategic avoidance, Sunday laundry, and keeping her heart safely behind a wall of sarcasm and red lipstick.

So when she wakes up in a stranger's impossibly tidy apartment after her best friend's wedding, she has a plan: coffee, escape, never look back.

Steve Horn has other ideas.

He brings her coffee in bed. He remembers how she takes it. He takes her to the museum she's always wanted to visit, holds her hand through the Impressionists, and looks at her like she's the only exhibit worth seeing.

It's just casual, she tells herself. Just a one-time thing.

Then he shows up at her apartment with donuts and does her laundry while she reads on the couch.

Still casual.

The problem is, Steve doesn't have a casual setting. He has “acquaintance” and “all in.” And he's been all in since the engagement party — months before she even noticed him.

Now Jacinta has a choice: keep running from what she wants, or let herself be loved by a man who's been patiently waiting for her to catch up.

One Night to Forever is a cozy, witty contemporary romance novella featuring a plus-size heroine who's the last to know she's already found her person, and a devoted hero who shows love through coffee, acts of service, and those soft brown eyes.

Standalone. Fade-to-black. No third act breakup. HEA guaranteed.

Tropes: One-night stand to forever, he fell first, grumpy/sunshine, plus-size heroine, acts of service, possessive-supportive hero, HEA.

For readers who want their romance smart, warm, and drama-free.

Content warnings: intermittent profanity, pregnancy, brief mention of family history of alcoholism/depression, brief mention of off-page pet death (past). Fade to black, but with brief intimate touching prior.

Available on Amazon: One Night to Forever: A Cozy Fade-to-Black Romance Novella.

Three years. Three hundred cups of coffee. One oblivious woman.

Three years of shared office space. Three years of Tuesday morning coffee, exactly how she likes it. Three years of donuts, soft eyes, and a hand on her lower back that she definitely doesn't think about.

Brooklyn is not catching feelings for her officemate. She's not.

Richard is patient. Practical. Infuriatingly calm. He has spreadsheets for everything — including, apparently, waiting for her to notice that he's been hers all along.

When a slip of the tongue (okay, two slips) changes everything, Brooklyn has to face the truth: they've been dating for years. She was just the last to know.

Now Richard's done waiting. And Brooklyn's about to discover exactly what happens when a man who plans everything finally gets the green light.

Turns out, patience has its rewards.

The Colleague Conundrum is a steamy contemporary romance novella featuring a plus-size heroine with a sharp tongue, a hero who earns every “Sir,” and enough heat to fog up the office windows. Low drama, high devotion, and a guaranteed happily ever after.

No third-act breakup. No cliffhanger. Just two adults who finally stop pretending. Standalone.

Tropes: friends to lovers, he fell first, forced proximity, grumpy/sunshine, praise kink, alpha hero, D/s dynamics, babymaking kink, dating all along, plus-size heroine, no third act breakup, HEA guaranteed.

The Colleague Conundrum: A Steamy Friends-to-Lovers Office Romance.

He's loved her for ten years. She has no idea. Now they're buying a house together — as friends. Then his bed breaks. Cozy, witty friends-to-lovers. No third act breakup. Fade-to-black. HEA. Available in Kindle Unlimited.

Full blurb:

He's been in love with her for ten years. She has no idea. Now they're buying a house together — as friends.

Leah is fine. She has her anxiety meds, her therapist, her remote job, and the novel she's definitely going to finish someday. She paints her nails black (artistically) and rations her smiles. Romance isn't on her radar. She's too busy grieving her mother and chasing literary greatness to notice that her best friend has been looking at her with soft eyes since college.

Ryan has been patient. He brings her coffee. He cooks her dinner. He talks her off ledges and calls out her negative self-talk. He's been waiting for her to be ready — and he'll wait as long as it takes.

When their lease ends, buying a house together makes perfect financial sense. Roommates. Separate bedrooms. Clear rules: no touching, no kissing, no cuddling.

Then his bed breaks.

Now they're sharing her bed, sharing a mortgage, and Leah is starting to notice things. Like how Ryan's eyes go soft when he looks at her. Like how his hand fits perfectly on her lower back. Like how everyone else figured this out years ago. She might be the last to know. But she's finally ready.

A cozy friends-to-lovers romance with humor, heart, and a patient hero who fell first; a plus-size, sarcastic writer heroine finding her way back to joy; one bed; forced proximity; no third act breakup; and an HEA worth waiting for. Witty banter. Low angst. High warmth. Fade-to-black. First-person POV. Standalone.

Available in Kindle Unlimited. Note: will be free to buy from Jan 8-Jan 11, 2026.

The Best Friend Arrangement: Claire's best friend Blake suggests they buy a house together for the tax benefits — but he's been in love with her for ten years, and living together changes everything. Tropes: Friends to lovers, forced proximity, he falls first, curvy heroine, possessive alpha hero, praise kink.

A closed-door breeding romance novella: Knocked Up By My Boss, now available in Kindle Unlimited. Blurb: He bought me panties. By week four, he asked me to throw away my birth control.

Eva Davis needed a job. What she got was Isaac Ross—her intense, bearded, possessive boss who looks at her like she's his entire future. And maybe she is.

This isn't enemies-to-lovers. This isn't even a slow burn. This is instant combustion with a fade-to-black door.

Isaac doesn't do anything halfway. He wants to claim her curves, worship her sass, and put his ring on her finger. Then fill her with his babies. In that order. Mostly.

Eva's never had a man who saw ALL of her—her competence, her body, her bratty streak—and wanted to keep her forever. But Isaac's not like other men. He gives his entire company raises. He takes her dress shopping. He holds her purse at the doctor's office.

And when he says he wants everything? He means everything.

A fast-burn, fade-to-black office romance with zero drama, zero breakup, just possessive devotion, pregnancy negotiations over sushi, and a man who'll burn down the world before he lets anyone make his woman feel less than perfect.

Plus-size representation. Breeding elements. Happy endings only. #books #romance #novella #breeding #closeddoor

A straight up romance. Speed Dating the Doctor: A Romance Novella.

“I'm looking for a wife.” The 40-year-old doctor's blunt proposal at speed dating should have sent me running. Instead, his promise to worship me—curves and all—while taking control in the bedroom has me calling him “sir” and craving more.*

Emma's a 23-year-old education major who's tired of boys who ghost her. Jake's a workaholic doctor who lists his requirements for a wife like a job posting. But when their banter turns to sailing trips, breakfast in bed, and a whirlwind proposal, these two romantics discover that sometimes love doesn't follow any timeline but its own.
