Kylie teaches deaf children, finding peace in a world without sound. Her past relationships have always been fleeting, built on fragile connections that never lasted. ASL became her refuge after meeting a girl no one else could understand, and it's shaped the way she lives and loves ever since. Malia, a sweet girl who's deaf in both ears, has a daughter who was born deaf in her left and finding someone willing to teach her has been impossible. Between long hours at work and a difficult home life, Malia's hope begins to fade-until she meets Kylie, a patient, hearing teacher fluent in ASL. Watching her with Autumn sparks something Malia can't quite name. As Malia begins helping in Kylie's class, the two grow closer. But with Bryce still in her life and control tightening around her, Malia finds herself torn between the stability she knows and the quiet strength she's found beside Kylie.

Malia and Kylie are in love - or at least they're trying to be. After years of heartbreak, Malia finally finds herself in the arms of someone who truly cares for her. Kylie is gentle, patient, and willing to love Malia through all the broken pieces. But no matter how close they grow, Malia's mind keeps drifting back to the one person who broke her - her ex. Her past relationship wasn't love. It was manipulation, control, and emotional scars she still carries. Every touch with Kylie feels like it carries the weight of those old wounds. Malia wants to give Kylie her whole heart, but she's terrified of opening herself up again, scared of fully undressing emotionally - afraid that vulnerability will only lead to pain, like it did before. As Kylie tries to break through the walls Malia has carefully built, Malia must confront the painful question: Can you truly love someone new when your heart is still learning how to trust again?

Kylie Cantrall and Malia Baker are two young mothers with big dreams, big hearts, and a determination to show their children that anything is possible. Kylie, a UCLA graduate and rising star in the music world, is about to make her childhood dream come true-performing at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City. Alongside her, her five-year-old daughter Chloe, who has been her biggest supporter since day one, is ready to embark on the adventure of a lifetime. Malia, a 22-year-old actress and single mom, has also made it to a turning point in her life. After years of hard work and sacrifices, she's beginning a new career project, and when her family books a spontaneous trip to New York, she decides to bring her three-year-old son Maddox along for a whirlwind Thanksgiving adventure. As Kylie and Malia's worlds collide, both women find themselves on the cusp of new beginnings-personal and professional. In the chaos of rehearsals, the magic of the parade, and the wonder of New York City, Kylie and Malia will discover that life's greatest rewards come when you're willing to take risks, lean on those you love, and embrace the unexpected.

Kylie is the best cop in the game - fearless behind the wheel, lethal in a fight, and known for chasing down anyone who breaks the rules. But when her latest mission puts her up against Malia, a cocky, unpredictable hacker with a need for speed, everything changes. Malia doesn't play by the book. She hacks, she runs, she burns rubber through the city like it's her playground. The world's most dangerous syndicate wants her for her skills - and Kylie's the only one fast enough to keep her alive. Every mission pulls them closer. Every escape blurs the line between duty and desire. What started as protection turns into obsession, and soon, they're not just running from enemies - they're running from everything they were supposed to be. In a world full of fast cars, high stakes, and deadly secrets... some lines are meant to be crossed.

Malia is a junior in high school, she is definitely a more quiet reserved person but she has her outgoing best friend Angelo to help her come out of her shell. Kylie is a senior in high school, she is extremely outgoing alike her little brother, she is an aspiring talented musician who is unsure what to do with her life.

Kylie never asked to leave. New York is loud, chaotic, and full of strangers-but it isn't Malia. Back home, she had everything she wanted: her bike, her freedom, and the girl who stole her heart. Now all she has is the scrapbook of their memories and the ache of distance growing heavier every day. Malia is trying to be strong. With Ruby, Momona, Dior, and Sharlize at her side, she keeps up the smirk everyone knows her for-but when the music fades and her phone is silent, the emptiness is harder to ignore. Two cities. Two lives. One love stretched thin across the miles. But when new people enter the picture, jealousy sparks, trust wavers, and the pressure of long-distance threatens to pull them apart. Can Kylie and Malia's connection survive the miles between them-or will distance turn their first love into just another memory?

Sequel to 'Echoes across the field' Kylie and Malia are living the dream as co-captains of UCLA's Division 1 soccer team, partners on and off the field, and stronger than ever. After years of triumphs, heartbreaks, and healing, their love and game have never looked better. With graduation looming and the biggest match of the season ahead, everything they've worked for is within reach. Pro scouts are watching. The future is calling. But when the offers finally come, they're not what the girls expected: rival pro teams, strict contracts, and a shocking clause that forbids relationships between players on opposing teams. Suddenly, the dream threatens to rip them apart. Torn between love and legacy, Kylie and Malia must decide. Accept the contracts but hide their relationship and risk it all to stay together, or sacrifice their relationship for the careers they've always wanted. As pressure mounts and secrets start to form cracks in their bond, one thing becomes clear, the hardest choice isn't on the field. It's off it.

Kylie has always lived in the shadows of her own secret, keeping her intersex identity hidden from everyone except Ruby, her fiercely loyal best friend. When Malia enters her life, sparks fly in ways Kylie never expected, but fear and self-doubt hold her back. Despite her attempts to suppress her growing feelings, her body and heart seem to have other plans. As the two navigate the delicate line between strangers and lovers, Kylie must decide whether to let Malia into her world or keep her at arm's length forever.
