A misdelivered love letter meant for the school's cheerleader lands in her twin brother's locker, sparking an unexpected friendship that forces Oliver to face family secrets, his identity, and his growing feelings for the one boy he was never supposed to love. *** Oliver Grant wasn't trying to fall for Max Ellis. He had one job: slip a love letter into locker 166 and finally confess to Kate Ellis - the cool, untouchable cheerleader of his teenage dreams. Instead, it ends up in locker 168. Which belongs to Max Ellis - Kate's twin brother. Broody. Quiet. Star football player. Definitely not the person Oliver was supposed to fall for. And the worst part? Since that day, Max Ellis has been way too interested in Oliver Grant - showing up, sitting too close, smiling like he knows exactly what he's doing. The more Oliver tries to avoid him... ...the harder Max makes it to walk away. Now Oliver's life is spiraling into awkward hallway run-ins, mixed signals, and a growing suspicion that maybe - just maybe - the wrong locker wasn't a mistake at all.

"I always thought I was the ocean, you know? Always reaching for things I can't have. Always crashing into people who don't want me back. The moon pulls. The ocean follows. Even when it hurts." "You don't have to, Noah. Why can't you stay? Why can't the ocean stay with the shore?" *** Noah Reed has spent years trying to outrun the boy he used to be- the one who froze under his father's fists, the one who kissed a stranger under the stars and watched him disappear. When Noah and his mother escape their violent home and move to Novacrest, he's prepared to rebuild quietly: new school, new friends, a job at a café, and maybe-finally-something like peace. Milo, the sweet, steady football player who keeps showing up for him, feels like exactly that. Until Noah sees him. Eli Blake. Quarterback. Golden boy. Untouchable. And the first boy Noah ever kissed. Eli acts like he doesn't remember him at all. But his eyes say something else-fear, anger, longing, something sharp enough to cut. Thrown together for a biology project, their old summer-camp secret forces its way back, tearing open every wound Noah has tried to bury. And just when Noah's heart begins leaning toward Milo, Eli breaks through his defenses... and kisses him again. Now the past is unraveling, the truth is clawing its way out, and Noah has to choose between the boy who makes him feel safe and the boy who makes him feel seen. Because oceans don't choose what pulls them. But Noah has to- before he breaks apart for good. Book One in the Ocean & Moon series.

In a tiny off-campus apartment in Osaka, three young men found themselves drawn together by a desire to experience genuine connection and belonging in a world that often felt too confined by expectations. Kenta, an aspiring botanist with a reflective soul. Johan, an aquaculture student who looked calm on the outside. Chandresh, an extrovert whose humor and princely persona masked his longing for unconditional acceptance. What began as a practical housing arrangement quickly evolved into an interdependent attachment built on shared meals, late-night study sessions, and the quiet promise that they didn't have to navigate the complexities of adulthood alone. But their friendship wasn't without its hardship. When Johan's family conflict threatened to pull him back into a life of parental abuse, and when Chandresh's past came back to haunt him, and Kenta got caught in the middle of all the chaos, their commitment to each other was challenged. It was up to them to let circumstances tear them apart or to use the hurdles as an opportunity to deepen their bonds.

Step one: graduate. Step two: accidentally sleep with your best friend. Step three: get trapped working summer camp together because your other best friend has no sense of boundaries. Now Enya and Maddie are sharing a cabin, pretending nothing happened, and doing a terrible job at it. It's hot. It's messy.

One small problem: They may or may not have ACCIDENTALLY hooked up after graduation. And Maddie is convinced Enya planned the whole thing. Between canoe races gone wrong, s'mores that end in arguments, and bunkhouse confessions they swore would never happen again, both girls are about to learn that feelings aren't something you can logic your way out of-or yell your way past. Because sometimes the person who drives you craziest... is the one who feels like home.

Morgan planned to survive high school under the radar-no drama, no stages, and definitely no co-leads with the school's reigning theater goddess. But thanks to a rogue vocal moment and a drama teacher with no boundaries, she's suddenly cast opposite Skylar Chase: infuriatingly talented, dangerously hot, and very unimpressed. The tension onstage is electric. Offstage? Even worse. Or better. Depending on how much kissing you're into. Lines blur. Tempers flare. And if they don't kill each other first... they might just burn the whole script.
