Love had never been in the equation for Nora Sayafi.
That is, until her sixteenth year, when she falls in love with the quiet boy on the piano, Elliot.
Suddenly, Nora finds herself faced with emotions she can hardly comprehend, let alone act upon. After all, if there was one thing her crumbling family had taught her about love, it was to stay the hell away from it.
She's safer that way, anyway. Love ran on the currency of trust, and she had very little of that to offer- what with a lifetime's worth of secrets on her shoulders.
But secrets always come back to you.
As she finds herself drawn to Elliot, Nora struggles to keep her painful past buried. Every day, a new relic comes to surface- with it, the risk of losing it all.
And when a familiar stranger arrives on her doorstep- that's when the trouble, really, really begins.

The Choices I've Made (By the Bay #1)
Twelve years ago, he drove away with my heart in his hands. I've moved on since then. Or so I thought. Growing up in a small town, there weren't too many options when it came to friends. But, even in a sea of a million, I'd always choose Jake Jameson. I felt safe with him. Safe with my secrets, my dreams and eventually - my heart. I thought we'd have forever together. That was a long time ago. I thought I'd forgotten those piercing blue eyes and the sound of his laugh. I tried to obliterate the memory of his touch from my mind. But, one single glance, as he stands at my door, twelve years later, and I'm suddenly transported back to a simpler time when love was easy, and my heart was whole. The problem? I'm marrying his best friend.Complete

🖤✨THE LAST SPELLBOUND✨🖤
Lucien's voice dropped to an intimate whisper beside his ear."Now tell me..what is the problem, Ezekiel? We're both men are we not? My state of undress shouldn't matter unless.."he moved to Zeke's other ear,"of course, it stirs something in you that feels..utterly inappropriate" ***** "I'm scared of the guilt you must carry,"Wren whispered."Knowing that inside you is a..a power so fierce. Knowing that at any moment, you could lose control and hurt the people around you. Or worse..yourself."Her thumb brushed gently over his knuckles."I can't possibly imagine what that weight feels like."Her gaze was unwavering, fierce in its compassion."Let me help you Zeke. Let me." 🖤✨ Dear reader, Zeke Aldren's magic has a body count. Sent off to Blackthorn Academy to control his magic that almost wiped out his entire village, he plans to be invisible.All he wants is control, and maybe, to feel human again. He finds that humanity in Wren, a banshee whose quiet love feels like a sanctuary. She is his ideal first love-the exact replica of what he'd always been taught to want. With her, he can almost believe in the simple, safe story he was given. But everything changes when he meets Lucien. Centuries old, utterly shameless, and whose beauty is as haunting and magnetically terrifying as his reputation, the vampire ignites a different kind of fire within Zeke-one that has nothing to do with magic and everything to do with a desire he never knew he could feel, one that could devour them both. Drawn to Lucien's dangerous allure, Zeke is forced to question everything: his power, his purpose, and the very foundation of who he is allowed to love. Wren felt safe, an anchor for his humanity but Lucien was a challenge against everything Zeke thought he knew about love and himself. In my book, love isn't just a choice..it's a weapon. *Love or loyalty? Light or dark? The wrong choice could doom them all..but the right one might destroy Zeke's heart.* Enjoy : )
