Ava & Liam: What it means to stay
Ava never expected her last year of high school to start with a stranger changing everything. Quiet, unpredictable, impossible to read, Liam walks into her life like a storm she didn't see coming. He hides behind sarcasm and long sleeves, drifting through school like he's just passing through. Ava tells herself not to care. But then he looks at her. And she sees it, the pain he tries to bury, the secrets he pretends don't exist, the loneliness he carries like a shadow. When they're forced to work together for a class project, Ava slowly discovers the truth he hides from everyone else: Liam doesn't let people close. Because the last time he did... it destroyed him. What begins as awkward teamwork turns into late-night conversations, shared moments, and quiet confessions neither of them meant to say out loud. They're not supposed to fall for each other. They're not even supposed to be friends. But some connections don't care about rules. As Ava gets pulled deeper into Liam's world and the complicated, fragile life he tries so hard to manage, she realizes there's more at stake than just her heart. Because Liam's past is darker than she ever imagined. And the truth waiting for him is something that might change everything. This is a story about two people learning to trust again... about staying when it's easier to run... and about finding light in the one person you never expected. A slow-burn, emotional romance about healing, secrets, and the kind of love that makes you brave.Complete

Mia James always knew the rules-her brother Jordan's best friend, Enzo, was completely off-limits. But rules were never meant to be easy.

He keeps his distance from everyone... except Jordan. But when Mia, Jordan, and Enzo all end up at the same college, the lines between them start to blur.

And Mia can't ignore the way he looks at her when he thinks no one is watching.
