He left Hollow Creek chasing the spotlight. She stayed-and survived the dark. When Nathan West, a rising Hollywood star, returns to his small Pennsylvania hometown just days after Christmas, everyone assumes he's home for the holidays. No one knows the truth: fame cost him everything he loved. Hannah Collins never planned to see him again. Now twenty-six, living with her parents, and raising her one-year-old daughter, she's rebuilding a life shattered by a past no one knows about. Not the town. Not her friends. And definitely not the boy who once promised her forever. As snow falls and old memories resurface, Nathan is forced to face the life he missed-and the woman who became stronger without him. But some wounds run deeper than regret, and love doesn't erase the scars of survival. © 2025 V. Noire. All rights reserved. This is a work of fiction created by the author.

Rule #1 of lying low at Kingsmore University: Don't flirt with the hockey captain. Don't make eye contact. And definitely don't get into a fake relationship with him. Honestly, just avoid him entirely. Too bad Aaron Varenko doesn't do subtle. And for the record, I don't do relationships. But the moment our eyes locked that first day on campus, the plot twist started writing itself. I was hoping to be a side character, preferably one who stays out of trouble and off-page. Too late. But, when a certain psycho from my past turns up, Aaron makes me an offer I couldn't refuse: "Let him think you're mine and he won't touch you." Totally logical right?🙄 The problem? He's a little too good at pretending. And I'm a little too good at forgetting it's not real. Now the lines are blurring and the secrets I worked so hard to bury are coming back to life. And Aaron might be the only person who can save me...or completely break me.
