Evie Hart has spent years convincing herself she's fine on her own. After losing the family she once had, she found something unexpected in the Donovans: a place at their dinner table, a standing invitation to every holiday, and a best friend who somehow became the person she trusts more than anyone else. Charlie Donovan has been her favorite person for as long as she can remember. Her hiking partner. Her emergency contact. Her home away from home. Which is exactly why he's completely off-limits. When Charlie's older brother, Will, returns from months of fieldwork abroad, Evie finds herself seeing him differently. Intelligent, adventurous, and effortlessly charming, Will seems like the kind of man she could finally risk opening her heart to. As feelings begin to grow and relationships shift, Evie is forced to confront questions she's spent years avoiding. About family. About belonging. And about whether the people who know us best are sometimes the hardest to truly see. Set against mountain trails, national parks, and breathtaking overlooks, *All Along* is a heartfelt contemporary romance about friendship, found family, and discovering that the path you've been searching for may have been right beneath your feet the entire time. Note: This is not an overly spicy story and you'll have to wait until the end for anything to come up. But I hope you enjoy anyway!

But everything changes when a seemingly innocent charity calendar photo goes viral, capturing her in a provocative pose with Jaxon Reyes, the university's infamous rugby star and notorious womanizer.

With Ava's reputation on the line and Jaxon's careless charm threatening to pull her deeper into his chaotic world, the two are forced to team up to manage the fallout. As they navigate the media frenzy, they uncover more than just the truth behind the scandal-they find an undeniable attraction that neither can ignore.

Asha Camari Hill has already lost enough to drugs-her past, her sense of self, nearly her life. Now sober and fighting for stability, she keeps her world small and controlled. Recovery is fragile, and she knows better than to tempt the darkness she barely escaped. She keeps her head down, clinging to routine, convincing herself the past can't find her if she doesn't look back. But the past never forgets. Before rehab, Asha made a mistake that left her in debt to a man who doesn't believe in mercy or clean slates. He remembers everything-especially what's owed. When he learns she's resurfaced, he doesn't collect right away. He watches from the edges of her new life, drawn to the woman she's becoming and the one she used to be. He is danger wrapped in control. She is healing held together by sheer will. What grows between them is unwanted and unspoken, a slow-burning tension neither of them is willing to name. He is the kind of man she should run from. She is the kind of woman he never meant to care about. And the closer the past presses in, the harder it becomes to tell whether walking away will save her-or cost her everything she's fought to rebuild.

"You look wonderful tonight." She finally looked at him. "Thanks, Chase." She grabs her cup. We touched. A spark-I ignore it. "Sit, Anna." "Are you happy now?" "Very." "How does it taste?" Her lips are so pink right now. I can't help it. "Come here," I motioned for her. "Who picked out this outfit?" I whisper. "I did. I mean, go out with a bang." She pops her lips together. I instantly move closer, rubbing her leg. "You smell so good. What is that?" "Oh, umm, cotton candy." "Let me smell," I tilted her head. "So intoxicating," she giggles. "Oh." I laugh too. I never want to be away from Anna again; I know that now.
