When the world you thought you knew was not what it seemed and a world completely alien was the only place you could call home.
Lin couldn't believe that her entire life had changed with a single phone call. Before the call, she had been gainfully employed and living a comfortable life free from most worries. She spent most of her time with friends, since she had next to no family. She enjoyed taking care of the house her mother had left her, even if the upkeep was becoming increasingly expensive. She was happy.
If only she had ignored that call... if only she had chosen to mind her own business... if only she had buried her head in the sand just this once... if only.

Dear Scott
"Growing up around fairytales, Disney princesses and teen films, we are raised to believe that happy endings are always in store for us. But more often than not, reality sinks in, and the happy ending doesn't occur. Especially in high school. The main reason I liked this book so much was because it was so real. It was a love that was destined to crumble from the start, and yet, you kept pushing your luck. We've all been there. The late night texts from your crush waking you up to talk about nothing, the unexpected butterflies when you see him, the gross flaws he possess that you don't seem to notice, or the small things he does that turn you on. Most importantly, we learn that love truly is blind. We're unobservant to the world around us when our teenage love obsession is staring down at us with those big, brown, adorable eyes of theirs. And then when we wake up from this dream-like state that is a first love, we realize that he's not this perfect, older, mature man... but this boy."Abgeschlossene Geschichte
The Quiet Between Us
It's not a love story. It's the ache of wanting someone you were never meant to want. She didn't plan to feel anything. He wasn't even supposed to be the doctor. What was meant to be a routine appointment stirred something deeper-a quiet ache, a forbidden pull. In the space between silence and small talk, her world shifted. This is a true story of unexpected emotional connection, of chemistry that whispered instead of shouted, and of the blurred lines between care and curiosity. It's not a love story. It's a story of awareness. Of reflection. Of the quiet ache of wanting- someone you were never supposed to want anything from.
Her Smile, My Secret
Introduction Some stories are loud - full of declarations shouted across crowded rooms, kisses stolen under stadium lights, fireworks exploding in the night sky. This isn't one of those stories. This is a story made of half-smiles and almosts. Of words that stayed trapped behind teeth. Of secrets folded carefully between the pages of notebooks. This is the story of how I loved my best friend. Quietly. Desperately. Endlessly. It's a story about the things I couldn't say - and what happened when the things I hid finally found their way into the light. Because sometimes the biggest feelings don't need fireworks. Sometimes they only need a smile - and the courage to finally say what's been burning inside you all along.Abgeschlossene Geschichte
"The Sky We Once Dreamed"
Noah dreamed of touching the skies - not knowing he'd lose the one person who taught him how to reach them. He was the quiet boy no one noticed, with eyes full of dreams and pockets full of nothing. She was the girl who had everything - beauty, fame, and a heart too fragile to be seen. Their story began with a school project, and ended with a goodbye that tore the world apart. Years later, fate brings them back - two hearts scarred by time, two souls pretending they've forgotten. But love has a strange way of finding its way home. Until tragedy strikes... and Noah wakes up - in the same classroom, on the same first day, with Sarah's laughter echoing beside him. Was it all just a dream? Or did love bend time itself to give them one more chance? Because sometimes, the universe breaks your heart - just to teach you how to love with everything that's left of it.
Almost Love
They say your first love is never really your last. It's the one that teaches you how much your heart can hold-and how easily it can break. It's the feeling you never expect but somehow always remember. It doesn't come wrapped in perfection. In fact, it's often messy. Loud. Complicated. Full of silent stares across classrooms and text messages that say "goodnight" when you really mean "don't leave." This is not a love story with a fairytale ending. This is a story about two teenagers who didn't know how to love yet-but tried anyway. About a girl who had just transferred to a new school, carrying quiet sadness in her eyes. About a boy who joked too much, talked too loud, and hid his softness under layers of laughter and chaos. It's about the teasing. The almosts. The missed chances. The apologies that came too late. The good days that felt like forever-and the bad ones that felt like drowning. Most of all, it's about that stage in your life when you love with everything, even when you don't know what love is yet. This is the story of Adriana and Liam. Of how they found each other. How they lost each other. And how sometimes, loving someone first... doesn't mean loving them forever.Abgeschlossene Geschichte
