Elena Morris has spent her entire life trying not to take up space. Quiet, bookish, and plus-size, she's mastered the art of invisibility at college-especially around guys like Jace Carter, the charming star athlete who leaves a wake of attention wherever he goes. So when Jace ends up in her creative writing class and-worse-asks her to tutor him, Elena braces herself for disaster. But Jace is nothing like she expected. He listens. He shows up. And beneath the swagger is someone surprisingly sincere... and maybe a little broken too. Over long nights in the library, shared stories, and too many vanilla lattes, something real begins to bloom-something that terrifies Elena even as it makes her feel more seen than ever before. One explosive kiss shatters the fragile line between them, and just as they begin to build something honest and beautiful, Elena discovers she's pregnant. What follows is a tender, raw, and deeply emotional journey-through fear, through love, through the ache of learning to believe she's enough. With Jace by her side, unwavering and all-in, Elena begins to find her voice not just in writing... but in life.

They built a life together. A family. A company. A future. But somewhere between boardroom meetings and bedtime stories, the spark faded. Sienna Brooks thought the life she worked so hard to build was enough. Until the husband she trusted found new excitement in someone younger, someone new-someone who wasn't her. Betrayed but not broken, Sienna won't fall apart. She'll rise. And when Miles Bennett, a quiet force from her past, reappears with eyes that never stopped seeing her, Sienna learns that sometimes, love doesn't shout-it waits. This is a story about heartbreak, healing, and falling in love again-this time, with someone who's been ready all along. (POV switches ahead-because both sides of the story matter, even if one's being a dumbass. You'll see.)

Chris flipped us, throwing me onto the bed only to pin me down, his hands gripping my wrists, keeping them at the sides of my head, his right leg in between my thighs. I smiled innocently when his green eyes fixed on my browns, even though my heart was racing like a fool. He was so close, only a few inches more and he could have easily bent down to claim those lips that have always been and always will be his. If only he knew. 💫💫💫 Disclaimer: this is not the cute story you expect, also it needs editing

"If you asked me three months ago what heartbreak was, I would tell you it's losing somebody close to you due to unspeakable circumstances. But right now, in this moment, I would say it's you. I would say it's the feeling I got in my chest when I realized I was out of time. When I stood in the rain and yelled for you to stay, but all I saw was your back. I would say heartbreak is lying in bed at two in the morning, watching my ceiling fan go around and around, wondering why you couldn't stop to listen. Two seconds. All I needed was two seconds to say the words. All I needed was to seconds for me to tell you I was in love with you. With everything about you. With the way you move, and the feeling of your arms around me. With the feeling of your chest vibrating as you laugh. Heartbreak is falling in love with everything about you, but having the words permanently stuck in my throat." _____ Gracelyn Levinsky grew up with Daniel Grey. She has always looked to him as a brother, but when she escapes from her abusive Mom and moves to the same town Danny moved to when he was ten, she finds out that he's in love with her. After countless attempts to get her to feel the same, Danny gives up. But when Grace realizes just how much she does love Danny, words can't help her because he shut her out of his life completely. How do you tell somebody who you can't talk to that you're in love with them? Simple. You force them to listen.
