LOVE ON THE BACK BURNER
Romance ~ Enemies to Lovers
For fifteen years, Nia Walker has poured her heart, soul, and life savings into making her Washington, D.C., soul food restaurant a neighborhood institution. At thirty-eight, she's fiercely independent, successful, and convinced that the only man she needs in her life is the one who delivers her produce on time. But when Elijah James, a handsome, arrogant celebrity chef, opens an upscale Southern fusion restaurant right next door, Nia finds herself in a full-blown culinary war. From stolen customers and parking disputes to dueling menus and social media shade, neither is willing to back down. And while the neighborhood picks sides, the undeniable chemistry between the two rivals is becoming harder to ignore.
When a city inspection reveals serious structural damage threatening both restaurants, Nia and Elijah are forced into an arrangement neither would have agreed to willingly: sharing one kitchen to keep their businesses alive. Suddenly, their days are filled with clashing personalities, competing recipes, meddling employees, and late nights working shoulder to shoulder. But somewhere between heated arguments and unexpected moments of vulnerability, their rivalry begins turning into romance. Just as Nia starts believing Elijah might be the one man worth making room for, a shocking business opportunity threatens everything they've built, forcing them to decide whether winning means protecting their individual dreams or taking a chance on something neither saw coming. Because in a kitchen this hot, somebody's bound to get burned.

HOW TO REMAIN
Romance - Sci-Fi
Ellis King is a 39-year-old line cook in New Orleans who's been "slipping" his entire life. Every few months, without warning, he shifts into a parallel version of his own timeline, a world almost identical to the one he left but with small, unsettling differences. A childhood friend he doesn't recognize. A scar that wasn't there before. A mother who says she never had a brother. Ellis has learned to adapt, to pretend he belongs, to never mention the slipping. But after his latest shift, he realizes he's landed in a timeline where he's married to Ava, a woman he loved and lost in his original world, and they have a seven-year-old son named Sunday. In this life, Ellis is a better man: present, sober, beloved. He has the family he always wanted but never fought for.
The problem? He can feel another slip coming. He has exactly seven days before it happens, and when it does, he'll lose them forever. Ellis tries everything to stop it: rituals, medication, prayer, desperation. But the slips aren't random. There are consequences. Every time Ellis ran from responsibility, from conflict, from love, he slipped into a life where those choices didn't exist. Now, for the first time, he wants to stay. Ellis has to figure out how to anchor himself to this reality, which means confronting the man he was in every other timeline and proving he's finally ready to stop running. The slip comes anyway. But this time, Ellis doesn't let go.
