She's broken. He's determined to save her. Celeste Hudson is a hopeless romantic, but underneath her bubbly, shy personality is a girl whose pain is deeply hidden from the world. She's spent years building walls around her heart, careful to not let anyone get attached-afraid that they'll see how damaged she really is. But that all fades away when she sees him. Her best friend's older brother. And maybe, just maybe, Celeste will let her walls down and let him in. Zain Chase is University of North Carolina Wolves' star left defenseman, who's a shameless flirt. But behind his flirty personality, he's damaged-suffering from a shoulder dislocation, and the depression and anxiety that follows it. He's spent months hiding it from his teammates and Coach. But only one person really sees the real him-and the pain he carries. His younger sister's best friend, Celeste-who he's always loved from afar. But he'd never admit that, because she's always seen him as a friend. Nothing more. But Zain's focus isn't on healing from his injury-it's on his younger sister's best friend, and her bubbly personality that seems to burst from her, lighting the darkness that plagues his mind, and it's on when he'll be able to skate again-without being in pain. But, secrets don't mix with feelings, and they're both desperate for a second chance.

Five years. One mission. A past that refuses to die. Major Zeyneb Beauchamps knows danger, but nothing could prepare her for ghosts of betrayal - her father's shadow, a lost fiancé, and a sister with secrets of her own. Sergeant Jack Luver may be the only man she trusts... or the one hiding the deadliest truth. In a world where loyalty is tested and love weaponized, every choice has a price.

They were perfect. Untouchable. Inseparable. Lavish parties, lake houses, effortless wealth, but behind closed doors, the illusion crumbles. Secrets fester, addiction hides in plain sight, mania spirals dangerously, and love strikes when it's least expected. In a world obsessed with reputation and appearances, perfection is a trap. Sometimes the only way forward is to let the glass break, and hope the light can get in. // Callum Hayes was always the quiet type, never speaking unless necessary. Instead he watches, calculating, controlled, carrying a legacy that was chosen for him long before he could say no. He wore his silence like armour, his shadow as a second skin. But when it came to her, the weight of it all softened, the darkness easing just enough to let the light she carried reach him. Isla Mercer was raised to be perfect. To be kind, to be composed. She was careful, feeling too deeply and thinking too much, carrying other people's expectations like they were her own. She learned how to hold herself together even when everything around her felt fragile. Until he showed her that some people don't want perfection from her, only honesty. // Isla let out a slow breath, her gaze fixed somewhere past him. "Maybe this is how it was always going to go," she muttered. "Maybe I'm just not meant for good things, maybe it's just fate." "I don't believe in fate," he whispered, "I believe in you." // Tropes: -Friends to lovers -Found family -Coming of age -Rich society -He fell first -Quiet yearning -One bed -Slow burn -"It's always been you" -Miscommunication -Absent parents (And so much more) // #1 in friendship goals 11-1-26 #3 in selfdestruction 3-1-26 #4 in ya 9-1-26
