"Not just a flavour, but a way of life." When seventeen-year-old Flo Kennedy is forced to up sticks and trade her life in London for a sleepy seaside town on the south coast, she's anything but excited. Walden-on-Sea could win awards for being Britain's dullest town, and with a population consisting almost entirely of over sixties, teenagers are an endangered species. Silently struggling with her parents' death and separation from her sister, Flo's convinced she's in for the worst summer of her life. But when she meets the guy in the ice cream shop, things start to change. It's not long before she lands herself a job, a new set of friends and maybe even the beginnings of first romance. For the first time in several years, she's happy. But Flo knows all too well that things can't stay perfect forever, and after all, being on top of the world only gives you further to fall.

When a girl gets a complete makeover, the hot guy is supposed to start liking her. Not Forrest Stephens. He merely gave me a once-over, said "nice outfit", and walked right past me. Maybe being his friend was the problem. But now that other guys started noticing me, he's gotten protective-demanding I don't date them without his permission, and touching me in ways that makes everyone think I'm off-limits. · · ─ ·✶· ─ · · "Spencer," his caress over my name brought the smallest blush, the events of last night flashing through my mind like a movie. His knuckles brushed my cheek. Angling his head, he studied me, eyes narrowing in a way that was uncomfortably critical. "You're blushing," he noted. He was so close I caught a whiff of his wintergreen gum. In that moment I wanted to disappear. "I'm not," I denied. "You are," he countered, leaning in. "Your cheeks are pink. You're not into me-are you?" 𝚃𝚘𝚙 𝚁𝚊𝚗𝚔𝚒𝚗𝚐𝚜: #1 𝚓𝚎𝚊𝚕𝚘𝚞𝚜𝚢 #1 𝚙𝚕𝚊𝚢𝚎𝚛 **WARNING: I WROTE THIS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL. ONLY REVISED FOR READABILITY.** [Originally written 2008]

❝If I were a zombie, I'd never eat your brain. I'd just want your heart.❞ ☠ ☠ ☠ Eren is what you could consider a zombie. Or, as some people refer to them, Titan. The only hitch? He's still got human emotions, feelings, and an actual thought process. He can still speak instead of just gurgling out moans. At first, other Titans didn't like him much. He got bit four times. The last time, he died. Only . . . His flesh did not rot or decay, and though his heart no longer beat, he still seemed alive. Because of this, he considered himself immune, or something close to it. He's still relatively human, only . . . He's a bit undead, is all. No big deal, right? Right . . . When he meets a survivor named Levi Ackerman, things take a sharp turn. Eren saves Levi's life, and gradually a bond forms between the alleged zombie and the human. [ LEVI X EREN RIREN/ERERI AU. INSPIRED BY ❛the zombie song❜ SANG BY STEPHANIE MABEY. ]

Sixteen-year-old Danica has always flown under the radar-quiet, observant, with her head buried in romance novels and her heart tucked safely behind well-built walls. After transferring to a new school, she's relieved to finally escape the judgmental stares and mocking whispers of her old one. She's not here to stand out-just to survive. But then she meets him. Xavier Moreau is everything she's not-charming, magnetic, and universally adored. The golden boy of the school. The one who makes her laugh in English Lit, steals glances when he thinks she isn't looking, and somehow knows she likes apple juice and purple highlighters. She tells herself it's nothing. That he treats everyone like this. That a guy like Xavier doesn't fall for girls like her. Except... maybe he does. As whispered rumors swirl and lines blur between friendship and something more, Danica must decide if she's willing to risk her carefully guarded heart-or let it slip away in the name of playing it safe. Because sometimes love finds you when you least expect it. And sometimes... it writes a story all its own. A slow-burn, coming-of-age romance full of bookish banter, unlikely friendships, and that aching question: What if he actually means it?

Maya Johnson is a bold, ambitious 24-year-old Black woman determined to make her mark in the elite graduate literature program at Marlowe University. Fiercely intelligent and unapologetically driven, she's used to being underestimated-but never outmatched. Dr. Charles Whitmore is a brilliant but emotionally guarded professor of modernist literature. At 47, he's twice her age, haunted by a failed marriage, and perfectly content with the predictable solitude of academia-until Maya walks into his lecture hall. Their connection begins with a spark-intellectual, intense, and charged with something deeper. Office hours become a ritual, debates turn personal, and the line between professional and private begins to blur. But in a world of strict rules, whispered gossip, and institutional power, a love like theirs could cost them everything. As desire simmers beneath the surface, both must confront their fears: Maya, about what it means to love someone who sees past her ambition to her vulnerability-and Charles, about the price of rediscovering passion in a woman half his age but twice his fire.

When stickball champion, Slade Locklear, is denied financial help from his college to take his team to the World Series Stickball Games, he must ask his reluctant ex-best friend, Makaiyah Henderson, to help him fundraise enough money to go to the championship. *** Slade Locklear is Oklahoma's reigning stickball champion, and his team is closer than ever to competing in the World Series Stickball Games. There's just one problem-without funding, they're not going anywhere. After his college dean turns him down, Slade is forced to seek help from the one person he never thought he'd have to face again. Makaiyah Henderson. His childhood best friend. Makaiyah has always carried the weight of the world on her shoulders. Brilliant, driven, and fiercely protective of her Afro-Indigenous roots, she's dedicated her life to uplifting her community and fighting for representation in a world that never allowed for it. Helping a former stickball star who once broke her trust was never part of the plan. But when the opportunity arises to raise funds for the stickball team after her college denies them, Makaiyah agrees. Reluctantly. Through three fundraising events, Slade and Makaiyah are forced back into each other's lives. Working side by side reignites more than old memories, but unresolved wounds don't disappear just because feelings resurface. As the championship draws closer and the pressure mounts, they'll have to decide whether they can rebuild what was broken between them, or let the truth about their past cost them everything they've worked for.
