****Trigger Warnings******* Mental Health***** Vulgar language***** Bloody Scenes**** Jayden Sterling never planned to leave Boston. She never planned to start her senior year three thousand miles from home. And she definitely never planned to live in a world where Luca Rivera - her best friend, her first love, the girl who made music out of ordinary days - is gone. Now Jayden writes letters she'll never send, each one guided by the playlist Luca made for her on their last night together. Every song is a memory. Every memory is a promise she's terrified to break. In sun-soaked San Diego, Jayden is surrounded by people who want to pull her back into the world - a chaotic new friend, a quiet musician, a mother trying her best. But healing isn't easy when guilt feels heavier than grief, and loving again feels like betrayal. As the tide shifts and the months pass, Jayden must face the truth she's been running from: Some loves don't disappear. They echo. And sometimes, the only way forward is to let their light remain. The Playlist is a story about music, memory, first love, and finding the courage to keep walking even when the world breaks. https://open.spotify.com/album/5SGtrmYbIo0Dsg4kJ4qjM6?si=uYRFOryYRi-fXv-xHd53Wg

Eliza Hart doesn't let anyone close. At thirty-one, she's a rising star in the English department-sharp-tongued, fiercely intelligent, and always in control. Her lectures are legendary. Her boundaries? Unbreakable. She commands respect with every word, and no one dares question her authority. Until Lena Rowe walks into her classroom. Bold. Brilliant. Unapologetically defiant. Lena doesn't bow to Eliza's reputation-or her gaze. She challenges every word, every theory, every boundary Eliza has spent years building. And Eliza knows she should shut it down, ignore the undeniable spark between them, just like she's done before. But this time, ignoring the tension isn't so simple. In the space between literature and longing, defiance and desire, one question echoes louder than the rest: How do you resist someone who doesn't follow the rules but still makes you question everything you thought you knew? A slow-burn, forbidden romance of daring rebellion, buried truths, and the boundaries we never thought we'd cross. Until we do.

If you're in for some good old romance in a Christmassy setting look no further. It's a wholesome story taking place in the office of a department store. Olive, the interior designer loves Christmas and doesn't hold back when it comes to decorating the store. Not all her creative idea's are equally appreciated by her workaholic boss, Ali, but she has a way of convincing her;)
