The Quiet Beginning (BOOK ONE)
When Taylor James, twenty-one and a little bit broken, transfers to a small-town university, she tells herself it's just another move - another place to start over, another chance to disappear into a crowd. But the truth is, she's tired of running from the pieces of her past she never learned how to fix. Then there's Mason Hale - twenty-two, reserved, and most at peace when he's behind his guitar. To everyone else, he's the easygoing guy who always has a song for every mood. But underneath that calm exterior, Mason's carrying his own quiet chaos - and music is the only way he knows how to breathe through it. When Taylor and Mason are paired together for a class project, neither expects much more than polite conversation and late-night study sessions. But what begins as friendship slowly turns into something deeper - shared smiles that last too long, laughter that feels like home, and the kind of silence that says everything words can't. As the months pass, their connection becomes the one constant in a world that keeps shifting beneath them. Mason finds himself writing songs that sound like her laughter, and Taylor begins to see that maybe healing isn't about forgetting, but about finding someone who makes it safe to remember. But the closer they get, the more fragile it all feels - like a melody too beautiful to last. Because love, especially the kind that starts quietly, asks for courage neither of them is sure they have yet. "The Quiet Beginning" is a tender, slow-burn romance about two people learning how to be seen - and the quiet, breathtaking way love can grow between the spaces of who they were and who they're still becoming.Complete

And when a new love interest steps into the picture, everything Lily and Finn thought they were building starts to fall apart.

The Line Drive
"'Bye.' I say after Edwin's kiss. He gives me a small smile that honestly looks more like a grimace. It makes me a little uncomfortable having him kiss me in the library. Edwin walks away, and someone standing in the corner of my vision makes me turn in my seat. A tall, muscular man is standing there, his arms crossed, staring at me. He's got dark brown hair, perfect eyebrows, and soft brown eyes. Honestly, he's gorgeous. And since I've read, and edited, about five articles about him, I recognize him immediately. Dane Sawyer. He's the best pitcher on our baseball team. He's hoping to go pro, although I'm not totally sure what the process is surrounding that, since I don't retain much of the information from the articles that I read about him. I know that he's also a junior, and that his girlfriend is hot as fuck. I've seen them together on campus. They're hard to miss because they are easily one of the most attractive couples that I've ever seen. I'm convinced that I must be hallucinating, because he makes eye contact and walks towards me. 'That was awkward.'" ~~~ Junior year is starting off chaotic for Mackenzie Brooks as she steps into her role as the editor-in-chief of the college's newspaper.

But when Dane convinces Mackenzie to be his tutor, both of their lives begin to change.Complete
