Alanna did everything in her power to gain her parents' approval: wore the right clothes, dated the right men, attended the right parties, and made enough money to get them through the doors of high society that had long been out of their reach. Instead of a thank you for all she had done, she was blamed for reacting the wrong way to finding out her husband had been cheating on her with her younger sister-and her family wanted her to accept it because it was "true love." When Alanna decided she was done vying for her parents' approval and started feeling isolated, an old classmate came to her with an offer she couldn't refuse: marry him and join one of the most powerful families in town. The catch? Intimacy was off the table. Any plans for future children would be done through surrogacy or artificial insemination. Deciding this was the only way to regain her dignity, she agreed. But her growing attraction to her new husband made the no-intimacy rule all the more unwelcome.

Gabriella showed up for him when it mattered most, believing she knew exactly where her life was going, until everything unraveled in a single moment she couldn't unsee. Walking away wasn't something she had planned, but it became the only choice she could live with. With nowhere else to turn, she leaves behind everything familiar and starts over in a quiet town that doesn't quite feel like home, trying to hold on to the part of herself that still feels like her. She tells herself it was the right decision, that some things can't be undone and are better left behind. But distance doesn't always bring clarity, and no matter how far she goes, the past has a way of following. Because some choices don't stay in the past, and some stories don't end just because you walk away. Updates weekly ✦

She came home early. She shouldn't have. Noa Reevse is a therapist. She spends her days sitting across from people in the worst moments of their lives, holding their pain with both hands, and sending them home better. She is very good at it. She is also, it turns out, very good at not looking too closely at her own. Until the afternoon, she opens a door she was never supposed to open. Fifteen seconds. That's all she records. That's all she needs. And then, a week later, she puts on a burgundy dress, walks into her husband's televised political forum, and raises her hand. She has the video. She never has to play it. His silence does the work for her. "Hurricane Season" is about what happens after the worst imaginable betrayal, after the divorce papers are filed, after the woman who taught everyone else how to survive the unsurvivable has to figure out how to do it herself. For readers who need their protagonist to be the storm.

Some boys want an audience. The right one learns to listen. When Eliana Cassabria-Prescott moves to Seabright Cove, she plans to disappear-just a girl, a guitar, and a bench with a view. Then quarterback Kason Barnes smiles like a promise, and suddenly senior year tastes like kettle corn, bonfires, and firsts you don't admit out loud. College at Ravenwell University should make everything bigger and brighter. Instead it makes the gaps louder: fundraisers, fraternities, "optics," and a best-friend cheer captain (Savannah) who treats history like a claim. One broken promise becomes two, then ten, and Eliana does the unthinkable-she stops translating apologies into love. Enter Hendrix McBride: smoky-voiced composer, two years ahead, boots and bad habits, the kind of steady that makes a room go quiet. He offers time instead of a spotlight, truth instead of performance, and a simple rule for music and everything else-leave air; the right notes will hold. Now Kason is chasing Eliana. Savannah is chasing Kason. And Eliana is done running-for anyone. Between a stadium that wants her on his arm and a practice room that wants her whole, she'll choose the life that hears her.
