Painting Stories

She was never meant to stand out. He was never meant to look her way. Nova lives in the background-quiet, sharp, and armed with enough sarcasm to keep the world at a safe distance. After a past she refuses to revisit and a body that doesn't always cooperate, staying invisible is easier. Colton lives in the spotlight-college quarterback, sarcastic, infuriating, and everything she's learned to avoid. They clash. Constantly. Banter turns into arguments, arguments into tension, and tension into something neither of them is ready to name. Because for Nova, football players don't get second chances. And for Colton, Nova was never supposed to matter this much. But when lines blur, walls crack, and secrets surface. What happens when the one person you can't stand becomes the only one you can't lose? This book is a part of a series but can be read as a standalone Tropes Contemporary romance Rivals to Lovers (Personality Clash) Quaterback x nerd Equal Energy Couple Chronic illness Banter-Heavy Romance Mutual Annoyance → Mutual Obsession Verbal Sparring as Foreplay Hidden Vulnerability Push-Pull Dynamic

Faeloria is a term used to describe the beauty that grows from the wounds that you thought would destroy you. Florence Tanner had a hard upbringing, but she does everything she can to not let it affect her; that's why she paints. She has always been artistic, but she now uses it as an outlet for her pain. When she becomes infatuated with a mysterious man, she can't tell whether or not it will be her demise. Grayson Hart, his last name might be Hart, but to everyone around him, he seems not to have one. He is not artistic in the slightest, but when his best friend Noah drags him to an art class, he suddenly becomes interested in it, or should I say, interested in her. He is scared to get too close to her because he doesn't want to corrupt her, but she knows that she is already corrupt. She knows that this is dangerous, but she can't stay away from him. Will they help each other, or will they fall deeper together?

Some wounds never truly heal. They just learn how to stay quiet. Pond has spent years drowning himself in work, while Phuwin has spent years running from a past he refuses to speak about. They were never supposed to matter to each other-just two strangers crossing paths in a city too busy to notice broken people. Until something begins pulling them back together again. A forgotten sketch. A name no one has heard in years. And a connection that feels far too painful to be coincidence. Sometimes, loving someone means facing the parts of yourself you thought were already gone.

Book 2 of In The Margins Series! Claire Whitman doesn't do attachments. She doesn't stay, doesn't fall, doesn't let anyone matter long enough to leave a mark. Until one night - six years ago - when she did. It was supposed to be nothing. A mistake, something easy to forget. Except she never did. Because no matter how many people came after, no one ever felt like her. ❁ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ˋˏ༻❁༺ˎˊ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ❁ Mae Rivera has spent years pretending that night never happened. She built the life she was supposed to want - her art, her boyfriend, her carefully controlled world where everything makes sense and nothing crosses the line. Because what happened with Claire did. It crossed every line Mae was raised to never even look at. And worse... it felt right. ❁ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ˋˏ༻❁༺ˎˊ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ❁ Now Claire's back, and six years of denial begins to crack. Because no matter how hard Mae tries to bury it, her body remembers. The way Claire touched her. The way she wanted her. The way she still does. But some things aren't just complicated - they're dangerous. Because wanting Claire doesn't just mean risking her relationship, or her reputation. It means unraveling everything Mae thought she knew about herself. And Claire? Claire has nothing left to lose, except the one person she's never been able to forget. Some mistakes are meant to be buried. Others are the kind that ruin you... or set you free.

In a world saturated with art, not a relic of the past but the very fabric of the present, Pedro Lorenzo finds himself trapped. He is a pawn in a three-way Cold War, a conflict waged not with bullets or blood, but with perception. Drowning in a sea of curated realities, all he needs is one solid hand to pull him back to the shore of the tangible world.
