Elizabeth Young. Jesus, even saying her name in my head feels like I'm doing something I shouldn't. She walks into a room and it's like-everyone just... shifts. Not in an obvious way, not like in films or anything stupid like that, but you can feel it. Like the air goes tighter. Like people sit up straighter without meaning to. And she doesn't even try, which is the worst part. If she was arrogant, if she was loud about it, I could hate her properly. But she's not. She's just... like that. She's his ex. But she doesn't feel like an ex. Not really. Not the way he still says her name sometimes without noticing. Not the way he goes a bit softer when someone mentions her. Not the way I catch him looking at her when he thinks no one's paying attention. And I hate that I notice. I hate that I compare. Because she's everything I'm not. Everything I wish I was, if I'm being honest, which I don't like being. And then there's the worst part. The part I'd never say out loud. Sometimes, when she tucks her hair behind her ear, or when she laughs-quiet, like she doesn't want to make a scene-I feel something twist in my chest that isn't just jealousy. And I hate that even more. Because I shouldn't. Because that's not... right. Because God doesn't- I don't even finish the thought. I just swallow it down and tell myself it's just admiration. It has to be. *** Kathryn Aideen Horgan-Wilmot. Ugh. Even thinking it makes me want to scream into a pillow. Who names their child something like that and then has her turn out like... that? I hate her. I do. I mean it. She's the kind of girl that walks around like the world was made a bit softer for her. Not in a spoiled way-no, that'd be easier. It's more like... everything just fits her. Her life, her friends, the way people look at her. Even the way she laughs-it's all... right. And now she has him. My him. I hate her for being easy to love. I hate her for making it look easy. I hate her- ...yes. Yes, I do.

When world class tennis player Flynn Cooper's injury puts his future on the line, the last woman he expects to save his career is Sky Hart, the ex who married his rival. Working together again means facing everything they lost...and everything they still want. *** Physiotherapist Sky Hart knows better than to let the past interfere with her work-until her newest patient makes that impossible.

He's also the ex she never got over, the boy she loved, the man she lost, and the one person she never expected to see again after she shattered his heart by marrying his rival. Their reunion reignites everything: the tension, the electric chemistry, and the unthinkable hurt they buried years ago. Every session feels like a collision with a past neither of them has truly moved on from. With Flynn's comeback resting in Sky's hands, staying professional is the one rule they can't afford to break. But love doesn't follow the rules, and this time, the real match isn't on the court-it's against their own hearts.

Blurb: Joey Lynch has never known softness. With his older brother gone, an abusive father looming, and the weight of four siblings on his back, Joey's learned to survive by shutting the world out - with fists, fire, and heroin. But just when the darkness feels permanent, a quiet voice begins to pull him out. Keira Kavanagh is known for her kind smile, her gentle presence, and her last name - sister to Johnny, Tommen's golden boy. No one sees the secrets she carries. No one knows that behind her perfect mask lives a memory she's buried deep, one that still haunts her every breath. He's chaos. She's calm. He's breaking. So is she. And yet, when they collide - it's not perfect. It's not pretty. But it's honest. It's healing. And maybe, just maybe, it's enough. Set in the world of The Boys of Tommen, this is the untold story of two souls surviving what they never should have had to - and holding on to the kind of love that demands to be fought for.

He's sober, going to a good school, and finally starting to feel like a person again or is he? After seeing his ex at a party he finds himself needing something to quiet his mind, quiet that specific voice. What he didn't need was to find a girl clutching a bottle of vodka as she sat on the very bridge he once had. He knows her. How could he forget a girl like her? A promise for a promise. Secret for a secret. He just wants her to come down and she wants him to go away. Two 6s find one another after many years of pain and find a form of peace in each other's darkness. The question is: Who will break their promise first?

𝐁𝐎𝐎𝐊 𝟐 𝐎𝐅 𝐀𝐉 & 𝐂𝐀𝐓𝐇 AJ Lynch. The boy I fell in love with when I was barely old enough to understand what love really was-and somehow, impossibly, the man I'm still in love with now. Everything with him feels like a fairytale most days. But there's one thing. One very shiny, very specific thing he hasn't done yet. He hasn't asked. And I'd be lying if I said I don't notice. I do. I notice every pause, every almost-moment, every time his hand lingers in his pocket like he's checking something's still there. I tell myself not to rush him, not after everything we've survived. Because old shadows have a way of resurfacing when you least expect them-quiet, heavy, unresolved. And when they creep back into view, even fairytales hold their breath. *** Catherine Biggs. The most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my entire life. Strong. Sharp. Soft where it matters. The python herself, coiled confidence and quiet fire. I know she's waiting. I know she deserves the question. The ring. The promise spoken out loud. And it is coming. Soon. But old shadows don't disappear just because you're happy now. They linger at the edges, reminding you of what you almost lost, what you barely survived. And when they step back into view, even the bravest man needs a moment to steady himself-because when I ask her, I want nothing standing between us. Not fear. Not ghosts. Not the past.
