Born into a world of wealth, privilege, and expectations, there's Eira Thorsen, a talented ballerina with dreams of securing a place at one of the world's top dance companies. Her life is a carefully curated performance-perfect hair, impeccable posture, and her unspoken drive to succeed. Her passion is her poison and it is only a matter of time before it kills her and behind that polished and impeccably orchestrated veneer of hers, lies a yearning for something real, something unfiltered.

Smoking, the only way he knows how to cope, his home away from home, the only way he can deal with his life crumbling before his eyes.

His rough edges and turbulent life seem worlds away from Eira's poised existence but somehow, they make do. 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮, 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬. Later... 𝐒𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐝𝐨.

BOOK 1 OF THE BRUISED HEARTS SERIES "Help, I have done it again, I have been here many times before."- Breathe me by Sia Some loves hurt. Some loves scar. Aurora never imagined trusting anyone again-least of all Theo. He's infuriating. He's impossible. And yet, he sees the parts of her no one else does. Every fight, every stolen moment, every heartbeat threatens to break them both. But when the past won't let go, sometimes the only way to move forward... is to set yourself on fire. "I think you're going to have to ask me again," I murmured, tilting my chin up. "But like, really nicely this time." Theo blinked. "You're serious?" "Deadly." A second passed. Then another. I watched the way his tongue ran along the inside of his cheek, watched his hand flex like he was trying not to grab me too fast, too rough. And then, softer now-different-he said, "Rory." Just my name, but it held more weight than anything else. "Please, baby. Let me kiss you." his storm, her shelter.

BOOK 2 OF THE BRUISED HEARTS SERIES "I'm staring at the mirror, Wondering who that is, I don't like what I see, But I can't look away." "All these voices in my head, Telling me I'm not enough." "I wish I could believe, What I see isn't what I need to be."- Sigrid Tilly has always been careful. Enzo has always been in control. But when their worlds collide, sparks fly, boundaries blur, and everything they thought they knew about each other is tested. Can they risk it all for a love worth holding onto, or will fear make them walk away? I hate how small I sound when I ask, "Did I do something wrong?" Enzo flinches. Visibly. Then shakes his head. "No. God, no. It's not you." He runs a hand through his hair, breath steaming in the late afternoon chill. For a second, I think he might just leave. But then he turns back to me, jaw tight, voice low. "I just... I needed space." "From me?" His gaze falters. And that's all the answer I need. "But why?" "I can't-" he starts, then stops, exhaling like the words hurt. "I can't do this anymore. Us." My heart stutters. "What do you mean 'us'? There is no us. We're just-" "Friends," he finishes flatly. My mouth dries. He looks away, jaw clenched so hard I can see the muscle twitch. "That's the problem, isn't it?" I blink, confused. "What are you trying to say?" "I'm saying..." He breathes in, fists curling. "I feel things, Tilly. Things I shouldn't." her light, his anchor

"Something 'bout you makes me feel like a dangerous woman"- Dangerous woman by Ariana Grande Elena Radcliffe hides behind perfection, guarding secrets that could destroy her. Kai Murphy is reckless, dangerous... and irresistible. When their worlds collide, hate sparks desire, temptation flares, and boundaries shatter. Every secret threatens to unravel, every glance pulls them closer, and some fires aren't meant to be tamed. In a game of lies, obsession, and forbidden attraction, one thing is certain: nothing-and no one-will ever be the same. "What the hell are you doing?" I snapped, too shocked to be anything but loud. He looked up, completely unapologetic, holding a delicate black bra like it was some kind of prize. "Didn't know you wore stuff like this, Princess," he said with that maddening smirk. My face flushed hot. "Put that down." He held it up higher, twirling it on his finger like a toy. "Cute. Lacy. Didn't think you had it in you." "Put. It. Down." I stepped forward and snatched it out of his hand, tossing it back in the drawer and slamming it shut. Kai leaned back against the inside of the wardrobe, watching me with a maddening glint in his eye. "You're fun when you're flustered." I crossed my arms. "You're dead if you ever mention this again." He grinned. "Cross my heart." Set in England, 2005

Charming, popular, and always just a little behind, Jack's life looks effortless. But under the surface, there's pressure he doesn't talk about, a father who expects perfection, and a grade point average that's about to cost him everything She's the quiet girl he barely noticed. He's the boy she never thought she'd talk to. But when tutoring sessions turn into something more, neither of them is prepared for the way their worlds begin to change- slowly, unexpectedly, and all at once.
