❝Love is an illusion of a hopeless heart.❞
Life for Colby Bennett has been an endless roller coaster ride of emotions. In the eyes of many Colby has a picture perfect life, being raised in a well-kept home, an amazing All-American boyfriend, and a wild-heart best friend. You wouldn’t expect Colby to be struggling with his emotions. What the normal eye doesn’t see is the everyday struggle Colby has to go through; his boyfriend isn’t as perfect as he makes himself to be, being a homophobic homosexual. And his family has a tendency to shun and treat him differently then before he came out.
The only steady thing in Colby’s life is his best friend, keeping him intact and on his feet, but what if that isn’t enough anymore? What if Colby needs more than just a best friend to make his day just a smidge brighter but someone to love him unconditionally? Well, needn’t look too far, Colby finds someone who will help him control all his emotion and possibly teach him the true meaning of love.
Could Elle Levitt be the one to lead Colby’s life back on track or will this very mysterious, charming student take him on a trip of expected turns, hardship, and quite possibly new love?
(straight up suck at these but trust me, it's definitely worth the read!!)

My Colors Are You
Rory doesn't believe in second chances-especially not the kind that come wrapped in late-night stares and the echo of unsaid things. After a year away from campus, she returns quieter, a little more hollow around the edges, and nowhere near ready to face what she left behind. She's good at pretending everything's fine. Until Harley-the boy who sees through everyone-starts unraveling the lie. He's all edges and shadows, more bruised heart than bad boy. And when their paths crash again, it's anything but gentle. Between secret glances, late-night confessions, and the chaos of people who pretend they're okay, Rory starts to realize that healing isn't about going back. It's about being seen-messy, uncertain, and real. And maybe, just maybe, finding the one person whose colors match your own. Currently under editing as of June 27, 2025 Book 2 coming soon: My Blues, Greys, and GoldsComplete

Finding Obsidian
He brushed his lips against my jaw, his dark hair falling over his brow. "Open your eyes," he commanded. "Look at me." I followed his orders and looked into the raven-black depths before me.

They say the eyes are the windows to the soul. But his eyes were so dark, so empty . . . "Nothing. I see nothing," I whispered. He smirked, his gaze still on me.
