"There's no such thing as perfect," he says while softly brushing a strand of loose hair out of her ridiculously perfect face, smiling at the irony of his own words. "But if there was, you'd be pretty close."

I had the perfect life. Until he destroyed it in one beat of my angry heart. I never thought the ending of perfection would be the beginning of a reality that tasted so much sweeter than the synthetics they fed me all my life. Until I destroyed it. In one beat of his broken heart. 

When Scarlett's ideal boyfriend embarrasses her in front of the whole Upper East Side society, she finds one night of solace in the strong arms of a stranger. Unfortunately he doesn't stay a mystery for too long but turns up, where she never expected to end up herself: Prescott Hall - a boarding school she is bound to visit for her senior year.

how far would you go . . . for someone you love? ♔ Levi steps forward, placing himself between me and Jack. Like he's protecting me from him. But I don't need protecting, certainly not from Jack. "Who do you think you are, dude?" Levi spits, getting in Jack's face. "Look, Scarlett was just helping me out with a proj-" "I'm not your dude," Jack bites, and I want to tear my hair out of my head. This is going downhill very fast. Jack turns to me. "Scar, we need to talk," he says lowly. Then loud enough for Levi to hear, "So can you please get this kid to leave." "Hey, you don't get to come in here and start ordering her around," Levi says harshly. "You don't control her." "And you think that you do?" Jack spits. ♔ When Scarlett moved off to college, she hoped to start anew and find her way in this world alone. Two problems. One: her older brother goes to the same college, and it seems like he's everywhere, keeping her from doing everything she hoped to do as a college freshman. Two: her brother's devastatingly handsome best friend also seems hell-bent on ruining her college experience . . . but in a different way. Their paths keep crossing, and Scarlett is reminded of the powerful attraction that they've both ignored for far too long. Not to mention, a new face begins to occupy everyday Scarlett's thoughts. When Scarlett is paired with an allusive, darkly handsome stranger for a film project, her world begins to open in ways she never thought possible. But as his mystery unravels into dark secrets, she wonders if she's falling a bit too hard. Before long, Scarlett is forced to realize that balancing the hearts of two boys at once just might result in the breaking of her own.

Unspoken Love (Behind Closed Doors)

32 parts Ongoing

Loving Mark was never supposed to be easy. What started as annoyance quickly turned into something deeper-something forbidden. Clara knew from the beginning that their love had to stay hidden, that secrecy would be the price of wanting him. But the deeper she falls, the more unbearable it becomes. How do you love someone who won't even say the words out loud? Mark has always been careful, always in control. Until Clara. She shakes the ground beneath him, makes him want things he shouldn't, makes him reckless in ways that could ruin them both. He wants to keep her, protect her, but the only way to do that is to keep their love in the dark. And in doing so, he might just lose her. A relationship built on stolen moments and whispered promises-how long before it all comes crashing down? A story about passion, restraint, and the unbearable weight of love left unspoken.
