Edge of Desire
Eliana has one goal for the summer: a few months of sunbathing, art, and absolutely no drama. She's determined to make the most of her freedom before college and before her unsupportive father decides her fate. But that plan shatters the moment her older brother's sharp-witted, effortlessly cocky best friend, Mateo Lorenzo, returns to town. Mateo has been Ellie's biggest, most inconvenient crush for nearly a decade. An unspoken boundary she's convinced herself to accept. Yet, the air crackles with unspoken tension, and his intensely possessive nature betrays his true feelings. A secret deal and a life of guarded secrets pull them together, leading to stolen moments and explosive chemistry. Eliana must decide if she's willing to risk her family, her future, and her heart for a man who lives in the shadows. Someone who might just be her downfall. A summer romance this forbidden can only end one way: in fire or in ash.Complete

Do we truly know those we consider as our family? This is the last year before the beginning of the rest of Cara and Mia lives!

The only problem is that she has to hold on without murdering her nemesis: Austin Coopler. At least, that's what she thought before Cara suddenly vanishes on the evening of the first day of school. No news, no leads, and even stranger, neither the police nor her family seem to care. But Mia is convinced that this disappearance is not a simple runaway case. Caught up in an investigation that goes beyond a mere disappearance, she has no choice but to cooperate with her archenemy and a group of friends who have known each other since childhood. TW - sensitive topics This story contains a lot of references to addiction (alcohol and drugs), and as the chapters progress, they will become more serious. Furthermore, the main character (Mia) suffers from diagnosed chronic anxiety, which I have portrayed to the best of my own experience. All characters, places, and events are fictional (products of my imagination only). Protected story.Complete
