High school senior Emerson Vermont is counting down the days until graduation, desperate to leave behind her small town and its tangled past. But when her mother is seriously injured in a car accident, Emerson's carefully laid plans are thrown into chaos. Now, she's forced to move in with her ex-boyfriend's family, dragging old wounds and unresolved feelings right back to the surface.
As she adjusts to this unexpected reality, Emerson finds comfort in a familiar face, forming a connection that begins to blur the line between solace and true affection. Torn between the past she thought she'd outgrown and a future that feels increasingly out of reach, she must confront her emotions and the unintended consequences of her choices..
Will Emerson find the strength to move forward, or will she stay stuck in the version of herself she's trying so hard to leave behind?

When Souls Fall in Love

Despite this, her life is not rainbows and happiness. How could it with all the secrets in her family, her hauntingly dark past, and having lost the one person that meant the world to her. After getting her heart broken by her cheating ex -Daniel, she's determined to forget the word boys and focus on nothing but school. And she would have gotten her way had she not met her new neighbor. Enter Aiden Rodriguez, typical player..well used to be. He's determined to leave that behind and start over.

His plans are simple: survive senior year and never see this town again afterwards.

Except Emerson's big idea never said anything about love...and their lonely hearts start falling fast.Completa
The boy who hurt me first
Tessa Young is everything an eighteen-year-old girl is supposed to be-brilliant, driven, and ambitious enough to dream of a university far from her small town. She loves quiet moments, books, and the feeling of being in control of her future. But there is one thing she cannot control: Hardin Scott. He is the boy she built sandcastles with at the beach, who held her hand on her first day of school, and who once swore he would never hurt her. Since his mother's death, Hardin has been shattered-hard, distant, and angry-and Tessa has become the perfect target for his storm. The words that once brought her safety now cut like blades, and the eyes that once held warmth are now colder than steel. Everyone sees Hardin as the fearless boy who smokes, drinks, and fights, but Tessa sees something else entirely. She sees a pain that no one recognizes, a void that never found words, and a past that tied them together only to rip them apart. Her feelings refuse to listen to logic, and against every principle she lives by, she falls for the boy who hurts her every single day. She hates herself for loving him and cannot understand it, but every time he shoves her into the lockers, she sees the boy who used to catch her when she fell. And every time he insults her, something in his eyes breaks along with her heart. When Tessa's feelings can no longer stay hidden, Hardin is forced to face a choice he has never had the courage to make. Will he become the boy who once protected her, or remain the boy who pushes her away to avoid losing himself? The question that could destroy them both remains unanswered: can love grow out of pain, or will it be the final crack that breaks them for good? ~~~~~~~ Currently rewritingCompleta

You Are the Shell to My Tortoise | ✓
Nolan, an unapproachable guy who ignores the existence of all his schoolmates, sleeps in all of his classes. Normally, this wouldn't be Chelsea Arnold's problem-she does her best to pay attention in class and attends gym like a good, normal student. Unfortunately, she just so happens to be his assigned desk partner in many classes. She's frequently forced to wake him in English class and ends up earning the unofficial title of Nolan's Wake-up Alarm-a title that nobody in the entire school covets. The last thing she wants is to interact with him more than she absolutely has to. One day, their gym teacher sends her to bring him back to class, which he always skips for some reason. When she accidentally shines her flashlight in his sleeping face, it triggers a chain of events that gradually intertwines their lives together. It's hard to be a normal student when you start befriending the school oddball. It doesn't help that he has more secrets than the Big Ben has stairs. ----- Complete.
