The orange hue of the flames lick away my tears
They do nothing, however, to wipe away the pain
Here I am, nothing more than a fading ember
Glowing just bright enough for you to think that I can be fixed
But I am shattered beyond repair
I am just a dying ember, dwindling away in the flames
***
Ember Lillis has yearned for a normal childhood for as long as she can remember; longing to forget her dreadful woes of the past. At nearly 18 years of age, Emmie's just about to break. That is, until her 18th birthday hits - the anniversary that her life fell apart- and she meets the owner of a mysterious pair of forest green eyes. When this green-eyed devil, Roe Eaton, steps into Ember's life, he just about flips her world upside down. Roe, the mysterious dark-haired boy, who Emmie just can't seem to figure out, just might have a secret too. One that could explain everything. Can these two lost souls put each other back together, or are there just too many missing pieces for either to ever be a complete whole again?

What Could This Be, Between You & Me?
Some love stories are meant to be simple, but theirs was anything but. Sol never imagined that love could be something he would dread-until he crossed paths with Ember. She embodied warmth and fire, a sanctuary and a tempest, and he found himself captivated by her like a melody he never wanted to end. However, love was a concept Ember had long abandoned. The scars of her past had left her too wary to trust, too hesitant to hope. As their lives intertwine, they discover comfort in one another, yet the very bond that unites them also threatens to tear them apart. Friendships fracture, fears emerge, and the silence of unspoken words becomes a heavy burden of regret. When the shadows of the past finally close in, they must confront a question neither is prepared to answer: What could this be, between you and me? A profoundly emotional and strikingly honest journey of love, loss, and self-discovery, What Could This Be, Between You and Me? is not merely a tale of falling in love-it's about learning to fight for it.
