In the tranquil waters of Hawai'i, Hokulani and Nikau wonder if it's possible for a song to go on forever. ***** For as long as Hokulani can remember, she's always felt like she's treading water. Everything she loves becomes a means to escape from what's happening around her or, worse, the unsteadiness of her mind. She even finds her passion for music slipping through her grasp, though she tries her best not to completely let that go. And even though the arrival of an up-and-coming musician from Aotearoa causes waves, she's unable to fully enjoy her life. Unable to release that breath she feels like she's been holding onto ever since her father passed away. When her family is hit with complicated news, the Kahananui woman must make difficult decisions for themselves, including one Hokulani isn't sure she fully understands. But even when their choices are made, they bring up memories they've all been trying their best to forget, forcing them to face the reality deep inside the family's hearts. Hokulani takes refuge in the comfort her shared feelings with Nikau bring, but just because she wants something, doesn't mean it's enough. She knows she has a lot to work through on her own, and with the understanding that his year on the island will eventually come to an end, the two of them spend endless nights wondering if they can somehow make a song go on forever. » featured on @wattpad @romance @ContemporaryLit and @Ambassadors « All rights reserved © Stephanie Midorii, smidorii

THIS BOOK HAS HARDCORE, HEAVY AND SOMETIMES BRUTAL SMUT.

You are the epitome of everything Kylo Ren hates: a wild, superficial, and very tempting party girl. And Kylo Ren is the epitome of everything that scares you: a cold, rich, and successful powerhouse of an author. When Professor Ren moves in next door and you become one of his students, the two of you can't ignore the pull you have to each other. It becomes very clear that you are both much more than your first impressions implied. You are everything the other person needs. "Because you're young, you're wild, you're free You're dancing circles around me You're fucking crazy Oh, you're crazy for me" ------ This is an Alternate Universe fan fiction in which Kylo Ren is your professor and sugar daddy. If those power imbalances make you uncomfortable, then this is not the fic for you. Kylo is not very nice in the beginning but he turns very soft eventually. This is a slow burn with plenty of angst and spicy-ness. [Read introduction for more info/warnings].
