"I can't remember what happened that night. I'm not talking slippery details or fuzzy-edged visions; I mean a complete and utter blackout. Like I wasn't even there. Except... I know I was."
Since the death of her boyfriend six months ago, Morgan Cain's life is spiralling out of control. She didn't mean to stay away from college all this time. She didn't mean to ghost her best friend, who was only trying to look out for her. But most of all, she didn't mean to keep it to herself that she was with Josh the night he died-and doesn't have a single memory of what happened.
It's hard enough returning to campus, but things get even worse when a shocking exposé in the student magazine reveals a sinister truth about Davidson University's golden boy. Amidst twisted allegations of abuse and sexual assault, Morgan is set to discover that the more she remembers about Josh... the more she may want to forget.

Find A Way To My Heart - Book 1 ✔️
It has been two years since Cassalia Anderson and Ben Mills' worlds first collided-two years since Ben stepped into her life, effortless and unforgettable, woven into her world through Paul, the one person who has always been more brother than best friend. Two years of stolen glances. Almost-moments. Unspoken feelings. For two years, Cassy has fought it. Buried it. Denied it. She has convinced herself, again and again-that it means nothing. That it has to mean nothing. She clings to that belief like a rule she refuses to break. Because she has never been one to gamble with her heart, not after everything she has lost, not after the scars that were carved into her. But no matter how deeply she buries it, the truth linger, quiet, relentless...a slow-burning ache she can never quite extinguish. And then, just as Ben finally confesses his feelings for her, everything she has spent two years holding back begins to unravel. For the first time, she allows herself to believe...maybe... maybe he has always felt it too. And then-everything changes. Because Ben isn't the only one who can unravel her world. Blake Handerson arrives like a storm she never sees coming, intense, complicated, and impossible to ignore. Where Ben feels like history, something steady and unfinished, Blake feels like chaos...like risk...like everything she has sworn to avoid. Now, caught between the love she has spent years denying and the one she never expects, Cassy is forced to confront the one thing she has tried so hard to control: Her heart. Because love is never simple. Trust is never guaranteed. And betrayal...never comes from where you expect.

Bruised
"Memories have the ability of unlocking new emotions. They allow you to relive moments with surfacing feelings you were unable to experience then. It's your choice to let these feelings live and take hold or tragically, or in this case, delightfully die." Makenna Adams can remember the first and last time she's ever been frightened of anything. That moment had turned her life into a daily nightmare. She would've never guessed that an English boy, Atlas, would be the second. The same boy who can't seem to stop thinking about what had unfolded the last time they were in the same room. He had certainly left her bruised. UPDATE: Wednesdays & SaturdaysComplete
