But just as something begins to grow between them, Mia comes back. She says she wants to be a mother again. Maybe more. Noah never expected it. He never asked for it.

Eden: Griffin has been the quiet complication in my life since high school-steady, serious, and always a little too aware of me in ways no one else noticed. There were moments back then, quick and charged, that nudged me toward him, but nothing ever happened. He left for the military before I could face how much I didn't want him to go, and when he came back, everything between us shifted. He had a future without me, and I taught myself to fit around the edges of it. I pretended it didn't hurt. Leaving felt like the only way to escape what I'd never said. Now I'm home again, and Griff is a father to a little boy who attaches himself to me instantly. Griffin looks at me like he remembers every unspoken moment we left behind-and I'm realizing time didn't erase anything; it only made it heavier. Griffin: Eden was always someone I felt before I saw-my sister's best friend, too sharp and soft in ways I shouldn't reach for. Before I enlisted, there were stretched-out seconds and weighted silences we never named, and walking away was harder than I admitted. Life happened. Responsibility. A future I didn't plan. Eden stayed like a steady pulse I tried to ignore-until she left, and I told myself that was cleaner. But she's back now, and nothing feels settled. My son gravitates to her immediately, and I understand why. When I look at her, I feel every moment we never let ourselves want. But my past isn't finished with me... and I'm not sure how many pieces of her I can afford to lose again.

Everyone warned me about the man next door. Scarred knuckles. Haunted eyes. A past wrapped in blood and secrets. Cassian Vale is fifteen years older, freshly out of prison, and so quiet the whole town pretends he doesn't exist. So, of course, I knocked on his door. I didn't expect him to open it. I didn't expect to see the sketch of me pinned to his wall. And I definitely didn't expect to want the monster everyone else was terrified of. But there are rules with Cassian. Rule One: Don't ask about the basement. Rule Two: Stay out of his past. Rule Three: If he tells you to run-run. I broke all three. Now I know his secrets. Now he knows mine. And the scariest part? I think I love him for the very things that should make me run.

Olive wanted something to happen, but she didn't really know what. One of Kit's hands released its grip on her hair, sliding instead to cup her face, his thumb resting on her chin just below her lips. "You've never kissed anyone, have you?" he asked lowly, and his voice sounded different. Gravelly. Darker, almost. She shook her head as much as she could in his grip, which wasn't much, but didn't dare look away from him. "No, but I..." she trailed off, feeling like saying 'but I want to' would make her sound too eager, too desperate. ** Olive is still grappling with the recent loss of her father, while also trying to navigate re-learning how to live after her brother was arrested for murder. Lacking a social life, self-confidence, and any semblance of normalcy, she returns to college. She hopes to keep her head down and stay under the radar, but soon discovers that getting noticed by the group of friends she always sits behind at lunch may not be a bad thing after all. Especially when one of them is tall, tattooed, and keeping secrets... Cover by @fuzziwrites
