Violet Is a girl In the late 1600s (around the Salem witch trials) who reconnects with her old grammar school friend, Joanne. Despite judgement from their village, the two quickly hit it off. Are the times in their favor or will something tragic happen instead?

Blurb Helena Pires has everything: Beauty, quiet confidence, a dancer's grace, and a magnetic charm that pulls people in without trying. But love? Real, vulnerable, terrifying love? She's never let herself go there. Courtney Reyes is her opposite-soft, anxious, stubborn, and hopelessly in love with a girl who pretends not to notice. When jealousy, rumors, and heartbreak push Courtney to the edge, Helena becomes the one who pulls her back... and the one who crosses the line into a friends-with-benefits arrangement neither of them is ready to admit feels like more. What begins as casual spirals into something neither girl can name. Feelings slip out through kisses. Confessions hide in the quiet moments after. But when distance, college, and the army tear them apart, their almost-love becomes a long-distance ache neither can shake. From FWB to forbidden feelings, from messy breakups to army graduations, from slow-burn pining to tearful reunions-Helena and Courtney fight, fall apart, grow up, and find their way back to each other again and again. Because some people aren't just chapters. They're home. And Helena and Courtney? They were always meant to take the long way to forever.

Blurb Liam Rivera has spent years building walls no one can see through-until Myles Carter, the school's star athlete with a talent for getting under his skin, starts slipping past every one of them. What begins as irritation and accidental closeness turns into late-night confessions, unexpected jealousy, and a slow-burn connection neither boy knows how to handle. But when old rumors resurface and Liam's past returns to haunt him, Myles becomes the one person he can't push away. Through parties, panic attacks, Paris, and a summer that changes everything, their bond deepens from guarded friendship to something neither can ignore. As the line between enemies, friends, and something more blurs, Liam and Myles must finally face the truth: some people aren't meant to stay on the edges of your life-they're meant to change it.
