(Previously known as The Lost) Betrayal is nothing new to the Łabanowski siblings. Neither is abandonment. So when the eldest two disappear on the triplets' tenth birthday, it really shouldn't take them by surprise. Five years later: the remaining eight are all grown up and trying to move on with their lives when, suddenly, it is announced that the family will be reuniting. No one will be welcoming the brothers home with open arms, that's for sure, but when threats become reality and lives are at stake, they will be forced to put aside their differences once and for all.

"He definitely wants to sleep with you," he taunts. "Excuse me?" I look at him weirdly, "What are you even talking about." "The way he touched your arm. That's what people do when they wanna fuck someone." He looks down at his paper and continues to sketch his patterns. I get an idea and scoot my chair closer to his. I lean forward and bring my lips up to his ear, very gently. "Well, that's what you do." He snaps his head towards me like he knows what I'm going to say next. "Do you wanna fuck me?" I whisper, making sure to look at him in awe. I hope it has an even better effect since our faces are closer. He opens his mouth to say something but hesitates. His eyes are everywhere but mine. When he finally catches my stare, he pushes my chair back to where it was before with his foot. "You are such a smart-ass. Would it hurt to swallow your ego for two seconds? Not everything's about you," he argues. "Maybe. I mean- I've swallowed worse," I shrug with a petty smile. *** Lavender Quinn has always struggled with her mental health but somehow managed to always stay at the top of her class... until her senior year.

When they were twelve, Michael built a tree house-a quiet sanctuary where he could escape the world. Then came Elise. What started with an accidental meeting soon turned the little tree house into their haven place and made a promise that would change everything. Whoever got married first gets the tree house. It was a ridiculous promise. A childish one. Years later, Michael is chasing the biggest dream of his life, building a career that leaves little room for anything permanent, except a long list of women who never seem to stay. Elise, on the other hand, is ready to settle down. She's dating a man who's only one ring away from making the promise come true. What begins as a harmless competition, slowly unravels years of unspoken feelings, almost-confessions, and the terrifying realization that maybe the person they've been searching for has been standing beside them all along. Because sometimes, your one true love isn't about finding someone new. It's about finally seeing the one who's been there since the beginning.

Hopper McCollum thought he'd escaped his past when he crossed the ocean to St. Gloriana. He was wrong. Because the moment Darjeeling calls his name, he's pulled into a world of quiet power, old traditions, and secrets that were waiting for him long before he arrived. Now Hopper must decide what he really is - a boy shaped by California's shadows, or the young man Gloriana has chosen to stand among its heirs. No battles. No tanks. Just the most dangerous challenge he's ever faced: becoming himself. Readers will follow Hopper into candlelit halls, whispered rites, and the elegant storm of identity he can't outrun. Hopper stops surviving... and starts becoming unforgettable.

Or at least that's what Emma thought up until meeting Bobby-a boy she never expected to meet, let alone fall for. But you know what they say-the heart wants what it wants, and sometimes that involves challenging everything you thought you knew about the world, especially when Emma believes that her world should be golden. She's got goals-Grammy winning kind of goals, that don't involve the kind of complications Bobby brings. And falling for Bobby was never part of the plan. Emma's weekends at her cousins' neighborhood was supposed to be carefree and simple. Not lying to sneak off elsewhere. What starts as something unexpected quickly becomes something she can't ignore... even when the secret slips. Because when feelings get involved, so do opinions, expectations, and the people who aren't afraid to make theirs known. Suddenly, growing up isn't as simple as it seems... especially when you're fifteen. « 𝑰 𝒔𝒏𝒖𝒄𝒌 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒈𝒂𝒓𝒅𝒆𝒏 𝒈𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝒏𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒔𝒖𝒎𝒎𝒆𝒓 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒆𝒂𝒍 𝒎𝒚 𝒇𝒂𝒕𝒆.
