Alaya O’Connor is a piano prodigy. Arianna O’Connor is a
soccer star. With their futures relying on the care they take to
uphold their talents, these twins aren’t left with much else to
do.
But when the stress becomes too much, Arianna runs away from
home, and thus starts the first domino in a horrible sequence of
tragedies that leaves Alaya an orphan, and blind.
Struggling to pick up the pieces of her life, Alaya is moved to
live with her aunt. Only a new school, new life, and no
foreseeable future lies ahead. The accident that left her in a
world of darkness also manifested in her mind, and left her
fearful of the one thing that always brought her solace: her
piano.
After meeting Aiden and his sister, Danielle, Alaya begins to
see that there is more to life than the sense of sight. The
secrets that cripple them are nearly as appalling as her own, and
the more she learns about the siblings, the more she learns about
herself.
Meanwhile, Arianna has no idea the calamities that have
befallen her sister. But when the truth is revealed, so are
secrets that some would rather be kept away from prying eyes.

Fate's Design
After graduating high school, Y/N slips into a quiet, ordinary life-one without celebration, big plans, or the kind of friendships everyone else seemed to find so easily. She spends her days helping at her aunt's flower shop, where time moves slowly and everything feels safe, simple, and still. It's not exciting, but it's hers. Then one afternoon, Ryan walks in-an idol adored by millions, always in the spotlight, always being seen. He's known for his success, his presence, and the way people gravitate toward him without even trying. But behind the fame is someone who doesn't say much. Ryan is observant, soft-spoken, and quietly thoughtful-someone who listens more than he speaks and carries a warmth that doesn't need to be loud to be felt. In Y/N's quiet world, Ryan finds something he never expected: peace. And in Ryan's world, Y/N discovers the connection, laughter, and friendship she always longed for but never truly had. As their lives begin to gently intertwine, a quiet bond forms-something real, something slow, something that feels like home. Fate's Design is a tender love story about two people from very different worlds finding comfort in each other's presence, healing in the softest ways, and learning that sometimes, love isn't loud-it's felt in the stillness.Complete

Authors Note: Hey loves, please be gentle. This was my first attempt at writing a novel instead of my usual poetry. I know a lot of the content may be cringey and in desperate need of editing, however, I don't have that type of patience lol. So enjoy it for what it is...a little something from someone who knew nothing at the time.Complete

How To Fall In Love, Ruin Everything and Still End Up With Potatoes
How To Fall In Love, Ruin Everything and Still End Up With Potatoes: Three hearts. One sarcastic Girl. Zero chill. Love was never supposed to be this complicated -or this hilarious. __________ Riana didn't ask to be the star of a love triangle. She just wanted to survive high school with decent grades, her hoodie collection intact, and maybe only mild emotional damage. But fate (and her absurdly sarcastic personality) had other plans. Enter Skylar: hoodie-wearing, hair-flipping, secret-softie with a jealousy problem and a tragic habit of confessing his feelings on an impulse. And then there's Kaizen: her charming, childhood best friend with a smirk that could start a fire (literally-he once brought a flaming rose), who shows up out of nowhere and remembers everything she's forgotten. What follows is a whirlwind of accidental almost-kisses, sabotage-by-potato, dramatic slow-mo hallway showdowns, emotional mangoes, and a squirrel who might be more emotionally stable than everyone involved. Riana? She's just trying to survive Spirit Week, avoid being the human center of gravity in a rom-com plot, and maybe figure out which boy she's actually in love with before someone skydives off the gym roof with a banner. It's hilarious. It's chaotic. It's very low in chill. Because love? Yeah. Love is war. With snacks. ____________Complete![Hope Everlasting.
