ᴇɴʀᴀᴘᴛᴜʀᴇᴅ
𝐈𝐫𝐢𝐬 She's quiet. Not mysteriously quiet-hurt quiet. Iris transfers from her all girl boarding school to Éire Preparatory Boarding School. An elite co-ed school tucked behind the gated estate outside of Dublin. It's full of kids with billionaire status parents. All Irish wants to do is finish school and continue doing her passion, art. Iris listens more than she speaks. People gossip about her background behind her back, she's not quiet because she's shy. She's quiet because she's scared of what will happen when she speaks. But then he appears in her life, 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐚𝐧 The golden bad boy, when he wants something he gets it. Everyone knows him and wants him. The local rugby star. But he's got pressure, his older brother was a national champion before the scandal. And not his family expects him to 'fix' the family name. But Cassians not perfect, he gets panic attacks before his games, he doesn't sleep well, and he's most of all, tired. So when he notices the new girl - Iris - sitting alone in the rain at 10 pm, soaked to the bone and not moving, something in him shifts. She's not trying to be seen. She's trying to disappear. But loving her means risking everything. His team. His future. His image. And loving him means Iris has to face the truth she's been forced to hide.
The Bad Boy and Me
Meet Violet Summers. She's the sarcastic girl who doesn't really ever get noticed by anyone. She blends into any crowd because of how "normal" she is. And she loves it. She wouldn't be able to stand the attention of everyone around her. That's why she won't tell Ryan Bloore, her crush for three years, that she practically worships the ground he walks on. Ryan is the captain of the basketball team at their school, so guys see him like he's a god and girls act like he walks on water. If they were to date, all eyes would be on her- she would be under everyone's scrutiny. So she's kept her feelings a secret, and she's done her best to suppress her emotions these past years, but she's realized that she's been so caught up in making people not notice her that she didn't realize how lonely she would be when no one was watching. Now meet Ryder Knight. School bad boy. Quarterback captain and heartthrob. The kind that wears a leather jacket and has tattoos all over his arms. The one who shows up to school riding a motorcycle. Just your average run of the mill "if you get involved with this guy, you will meet some serious trouble" kind of male. Well, too bad for Violet, she's stuck with him now. After all of the years of pushing away her feelings for Ryan because of her fear of being seen, she is now all anyone can look at- because of Ryder. Because of him, she can feel their stares, and she hates him for it. The longer they spend time together, the more Ryder starts to realize he actually enjoys being around her-despite her snarky comments about how much she despises him. And if Violet is being completely honest with herself, she's also starting to realize she might not actually hate the fact that people are noticing her now, but hate the way Ryder makes her feel.Complete

Almost, Always 🍁🥀
"Almost, Always" 🍁🌹 Some people enter your life like whispers...soft, sudden, and gone before you can hold on. She didn't expect to see him again. Not after years, not like this. Not when she had finally learned how to forget the boy who never truly left her mind. But fate isn't loud..it's quiet, casual... cruel. In a classroom filled with noise, their glances screamed stories. A slow-burn connection, unsaid words, and almosts that could've been everything. This is not a fairytale. This is a memory rewritten..with the ending she deserved.
