They had been the best of friends since childhood. She knew that he secretly wore spectacles. He knew that she had once stolen all the wine for the Eucharist from the parish church and blamed it on the town drunkard. There was very little that Amy Griffiths did not know about Lord Oliver Hollingsworth, the only friend she had ever had growing up in a tiny village where everybody knew everything about anybody. She was quite happy to rush headlong into spinsterhood while she tended to her mother and worked the small bookshop, and Lord Hollingsworth did not seem inclined to wed anytime soon having ensured no mother in her right mind would allow her daughter to consort with the likes of him after the whole debacle with his once intended, Miss Augusta Fleetwood, a few seasons ago. When Amy is convinced to visit London, little did the both of them realise how meddling some of his friends would be, and how adept at matchmaking the troublesome lot are. Soon, the delicate line between friendship and true love become harder to distinguish. Bit of a slow burn, sweet romance with MATURE content and a lot of humour.

Morgan Davis came to college hoping for a fresh start - not to fall apart. Quiet, bright, and carrying scars no one sees, Morgan just wants to survive her freshman year and maybe, finally, feel like she belongs. But everything unravels when the boy she thought she wanted betrays her in the worst possible way... and her so-called friend is the one holding the knife. Enter Crew Larson - a brooding senior with a temper, a protective streak a mile wide, and a secret soft spot that only Morgan seems to reach. He's everything she's not supposed to want - possessive, obsessive, dangerous - and he doesn't care who he has to burn to keep her safe. As their worlds collide, Crew becomes her anchor. Her storm. Her addiction. He teaches her how to fight back, how to feel again, how to take control of her own pleasure - and he makes sure no one ever lays a hand on her again. But Morgan has demons that don't die quietly. And Crew's rage burns hot enough to destroy everything. What begins as a slow burn turns into an all-consuming fire - and once the line between love and obsession blurs, there's no going back. He'd kill for her. She just has to decide if she'll let him.

Alex Harper loves Dylan West ever since she can remember. Too bad he never noticed her. Not even with the countless dinners at each other's houses and vacations spent together, thanks to their parents' long friendship. Well, that's about to change! Now that she's a Senior, Alex decided it was time for a makeover. She looks different and feels more confident. Sometimes at least... Considering Dylan is going to college close to home, hopefully, he will finally see her as more than the girl he grew up with. A girl can dream, right? When summer is over and Dylan lays eyes on her new version, that dream might just come true. That is if Bennett West doesn't get in the way. Meet Dylan, your typical jock, popular, adored by many and Keithton High School's golden boy. No wonder why Alex loves him so much, just like almost every other girl in school. Now, Bennett couldn't be more opposite from his brother. He sure has the good looks too, but that's all they have in common. He's obsessed with science, doesn't like sports or parties, straight A student and adored by his teachers. People call him weirdo to say the least. In a whirlwind of events and deep conversations, Alex finds herself getting closer to Bennett and a renewed friendship starts to surface, just to remind her that maybe he's not so weird as people say. Still quiet, but not weird. When Dylan starts paying attention to Alex, Bennett is worried that she might get her heart broken as he know his brother's ways with girls. It's not because they are closer now that he has the right to judge her relationship with his brother. Why on earth does he care anyway? It can only be envy of his brother for all the attention he gets, right? It's not her fault Bennett doesn't have Dylan's charisma. Maybe Alex will figure it his reasons when it's too late. Join Alex on her road to dreams coming true, just to realize that maybe she has been dreaming about the wrong person all along.
