Allie lives in silence. May lives in laughter. They were never meant to collide, until a tutoring job binds them together in a secret neither of them can control. What begins as late-night lessons and whispered promises soon twists into something far more dangerous. Rumors spread, truths are hidden, and one careless sentence threatens to shatter everything between them. But when silence falls, and one of them disappears, Allie is left chasing shadows. Was it her fault? Was it ever real? Or were there forces pulling them apart long before either dared to speak the truth? Hidden Between Us is a story of secrecy, longing, and the fragile line between love and ruin. Some things are too dangerous to be spoken aloud, and some bonds are too strong to stay hidden.

Marosika "Marzi" grew up thinking she was just another girl in Duskhaven-a city of dazzling lights and whispered shadows, where secrets and crime thrived. In the Uppercity, for a while, she had a family: a father, mother, and older brother, flawed but meant to love her. Then, at five years old, everything changed. A bite from a star-spider infused her with cosmic energy, rewriting her very being. Stardust coursed through her veins-wild, uncontrollable, and dangerous. One careless spark injured her brother. Months later, another flare ignited a fire that claimed her father's life. Blame replaced love. Her mother's grief twisted into rage, her brother's pain hardened into rejection. Cast out, branded a monster, Marzi fled into the streets-alone, unwanted, and afraid. Then she met Caleb Prime, a ruthless crime lord who saw not a child, but a weapon. Under him, Marzi was forged in darkness-obedient, violent, and unrecognizable. Raised in the Undercity of Duskheaven, Marzi's innocence was shattered, her life forged in shadows. Now she moves between Duskhaven's glittering Uppercity and its ruthless Undercity-a girl caught between two worlds; the Uppercity she no longer belongs to, and the Undercity that claimed her soul. Her stardust powers are both her greatest strength and deepest curse. Haunted by loss and betrayal, she is one of the city's most dangerous-and most broken-antiheroes. This is the story of a girl betrayed and molded by cruelty, reborn in chaos-where every spark of stardust carries pain, power, and the threat of what she might become.

Teo Hallberg returned to Gothenburg chasing a comeback that no longer felt like his. Once the NHL's golden boy, now he's fighting through injuries, bad press, and the quiet weight of depression he won't admit to anyone. Liv has built her career on control, hiding her battle with Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension behind professionalism and strict boundaries. The last thing she needs is to get involved with a hockey player, especially one whose life is already a media circus. But Teo isn't what she expected. He's quiet where she imagined arrogance and careful where she thought she'd find ego. And against her better judgment, their routine check-ups turn into late-night walks, playful texts, and a pull she can't ignore. But life off the ice is harder than any game. Nova Källström's media-perfect appearances, Anton Vahlgren's easy charm, and Liv's own health struggles threaten to pull them apart before they ever fully get a chance. To stay together, Teo has to stop chasing who he was and fight for who he wants to be and Liv has to trust that letting someone in doesn't mean losing herself. Set against the backdrop of Gothenburg's hockey scene, Life Playbook is a slow-burn, emotional sports romance about second chances, choosing love over fear, and finding home where you least expect it.
