Since she was a child, Luna knew that surviving the world was never going to be easy. She grew up on the shore, surrounded by sand, waves, and the warmth of three boys she foolishly believed would be by her side forever. But the sea is a cruel teacher-it pulls, it shifts, and it takes away the things we hold dearest.
As time passed, the three boys of her youth grew into men who would ruin her in completely different ways. Soon, she is forced to face a heartbreaking choice: which one she will have to survive with... and which one she will have to survive after.
In the wake of a devastating tragedy and a crumbling shore, Luna must find a way to rebuild herself on a distant coast. A deeply moving story of trauma, grief, and the quiet power of healing, Things We Left on the Shore is a poignant tale of survival. It is a reminder that even the smallest, weakest turtles can learn how to swim through the fiercest currents-as long as they have the warmth of the sun keeping them alive.

The Contract of Us (bxb) [Under Editing]
Everyone sees Zane Castillo as the perfect guy. He's rich, handsome, popular, and untouchable-the kind of student everyone admires... or fears. At school, he's the king who always gets what he wants, and no one dares stand in his way. No one except Luna Garcia. Quiet, withdrawn, and living with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Luna has spent years surviving in silence. Every school day feels like a battle as he becomes the favorite target of Zane's cruel games. He never fights back. He never asks for help. He simply endures, hoping tomorrow might hurt a little less. Then everything changes. A business deal between their powerful families leads to one shocking condition: Zane and Luna must get married. The bully is suddenly forced to live with the very person he's spent years destroying. For Zane, it's the worst punishment imaginable. For Luna, it's a nightmare that never ends. What begins as a contract built on resentment, fear, and painful memories slowly turns into something neither of them expected. As hidden truths come to light and old wounds are forced into the open, both boys are pushed to confront the people they've become-and the people they still have a chance to be. Can someone who caused so much pain truly change? Can a heart that's been broken over and over learn to trust again? Or are some scars simply too deep to heal?

Her childhood sweetheart. Not until he stopped saving her. Not until he stopped caring. Not until he got fed up of everything. Sky Edison used to be full of compassion. But that was before something terrible happened within their family. His perception had changed. He now finds it ridiculous that people let themselves get treated badly. However, the downside is that for some significant circumstances, these two have to share a condo as they enter senior high school. What could possibly happen given their situation? How would it feel like living under the same roof not with your bully but your former superhero who's now just a witness of your despair?
