After leaving Forks to begin a new life in Canada, the Cullens make a decision that changes everything: they want to adopt a child. In a Vancouver orphanage, they meet Claire - a quiet, sharp-minded teenager who has learned to rely on no one but herself. To her, closeness feels dangerous; independence is her safest refuge. But in the still warmth of the Cullen family, something begins to shift. Claire's guarded strength meets their unwavering tenderness, and for the first time, she allows her softer, imaginative self to breathe. Yet one question remains - is that enough for them to choose her... and for her to choose them back?

Loneliness has been your only companion for as long as you can remember, a quiet, muddy existence hidden away from the noisy, unpredictable world of people. The days pass with the rise and fall of the sun, and your only comfort is found in the warmth of small creatures you protect in the shelter of the woods. But when your fragile world begins to crumble-when even the tiny rabbit in your arms grows too weak to survive-you're forced to seek help from a man unlike any you've ever known.

Miguel Hernandez has known a few things well: the cushion of an older brother rising to stardom, basketball and sex. His reputation's whispered from the luxury corners of the Upper East Side, spanning over New York City. Debauchery's come to be his middle name. Girls are rarely pictured leaving his side. A comfortable, familiar routine that he doesn't stray from, nor does anyone expect him to. Until her. Eyes that harbour secrets, a tongue sharp enough to cut, passions she's given up and a darkness bearing on her shoulders, Malibu Adams knows nothing but survival. Unapologetic about the trail of messes she leaves behind or the anger festering within her that will only set her on one ruinous path, love had never been on her radar. Nobody knows her enough to understand her nor the pain seeping from wounds she disregards. Until he becomes desperate to. She breaks everything she touches, they say - he isn't afraid to bleed.

Blurb: Diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder at six, Evie Finnegan has spent her life being too much for everyone - especially the people meant to stay. Now in fifth year and starting over at Tommen, she's trying her best to disappear. Johnny Kavanagh isn't looking for anyone. Rugby is everything - until she arrives. Quiet. Fragile. Familiar. He shouldn't care. But he does. And when she starts to fall apart, Johnny finds himself doing the one thing he swore he'd never do again - reaching out. Because sometimes, love doesn't shout. Sometimes, it just stays. Right where it hurts. In your veins.

Cleo Winters has learned to survive by staying quiet. At school, she's invisible, bullied and ignored. At home, she tiptoes around her mother's sharp moods and cruel words, never knowing when kindness will turn into punishment. But when her mother announces a sudden move to London to marry a wealthy businessman named Eric Westwood, Cleo's silent life is shattered. Thrown into a family she's never met, surrounded by strangers who live in luxury while she carries scars no one can see, Cleo must navigate a new house, a new country, and a new set of rules.

Mia didn't come to Seoul to fall in love. Landing a job as a stylist assistant at HYBE felt like a miracle, a golden ticket into the world she'd only watched through screens. But reality is entirely different. ENHYPEN was her comfort once. But the boys she thought she knew are idols who barely notice the workers behind their image. Some are standoffish. Some don't speak to her at all. And some - like Ni-Ki - just stare. When her anonymous art account starts gaining traction online, it feels like validation . One of her designs, posted under a pseudonym, ends up on a member during a high-profile shoot. It's surreal, thrilling... but she can't claim it. Not without risking everything. No one knows it was hers - except Ni-Ki. And now he's looking at her differently. Because in a world built on performance, falling in love in plain sight might just be the most dangerous act of all.

Yami never wanted luxury, only survival. When her scholarship falls through and she's forced to take a last minute job as a live-in maid at the secluded, ice glass Moon estate, she's just trying to stay afloat. The estate is cold, the rules colder and none more untouchable than Jungwon Yang, the heir to one of Korea's most powerful families. Elegant. Detached. Impossibly composed. Until the night she hears something she shouldn't have-something dangerous enough to ruin him. Instead of firing her, Jungwon makes her a deal. 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘺 𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘦𝘵. 𝘗𝘭𝘢𝘺 𝘣𝘺 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘳𝘶𝘭𝘦𝘴.
