Living with guilt is hard, sure.
But living with that guilt while juggling guardianship of your little sister, navigating high school, pulling off nefarious, yet fairly tame illegal activities and being forced into friendships with random boys by your conniving teacher is even harder. For Natasha Taylor though, it's an everyday occurrence.
Which sucks for everyone that has to interact with her. She's mean, closed off, and overall has the emotional equivalence of a stab wound, add on that she's basically an artistic hermit, and she is the exact opposite of a summer evening around a campfire.
For Ethan Evans, life is a breeze. He's honest and upfront while always maintaining an air of friendliness and approach-ability. He's a little on the quiet side, but his sharp observance skills and his artwork often make up for what he doesn't say out loud. Ethan is genuine and balanced, and he might just be the Band-Aid that Tasha's gaping wounds need to finally mend.

Tiny Sparks
She's small, stubborn, and sarcastic. He's tall, insufferable, and always there when she least wants him to be. From neighborhood run-ins to endless teasing battles, their lives keep colliding in the most inconvenient ways. What begins as a war of sarcasm-mocking remarks at the bookstore, clashes at the coffee shop, stolen soccer balls, and late-night banter-slowly turns into something neither of them expected. When an accident leaves her with an injured leg, she finds herself forced into relying on the one person she swore she couldn't stand: Ethan. Between his relentless teasing and his frustratingly careful way of taking care of her, she discovers that maybe his mocking isn't just mockery-it's attention. And maybe his presence isn't just annoying-it's comforting. But just when closeness begins to sneak in, life throws new challenges: vulnerability, pride, and even the painful reality of being misunderstood. In the middle of all the laughter, arguments, and reluctant care, tiny sparks begin to burn between them-sparks neither of them can ignore, no matter how much they pretend to. "Tiny Sparks" is a heartfelt enemies-to-lovers story filled with humor, stubbornness, and tender moments hidden behind sarcasm-a tale about how sometimes the person who drives you crazy ends up being the one you can't imagine life without.
