When the ringing stops, she's there.
Artemis Kelley's world ended with a car crash and a flatline.
Since her mother's death, silence doesn't exist anymore.
There's always a high-pitched ringing in her ears, a reminder of the moment everything broke. She's barely holding herself together - balancing grief, a volatile home life, and the slow collapse of the only place she ever felt safe.
Then she meets Ryan.
Silver hair. Sea-glass eyes. Too calm. Too observant.
And for the first time in over a year... the ringing stops.
Ryan makes the world feel quiet again. Safe. Manageable.
But girls like Ryan don't appear out of nowhere without a reason.
And Artemis is starting to realize that the peace she feels around her might come with a price.
Ryan is hiding something.
Something dangerous.
Something that could ruin everything - or save her.
Some connections heal you.
Others pull you deeper into the dark.
And once Artemis steps into Ryan's world...
there's no turning back.

SKINTIGHT (Part 1)
Violet Ferrari is at breaking point. Moving out of home was supposed to fix her problems, not exacerbate them. All the shit she tried to escape, came right along with her - the grief, the guy, the pain. It won't go away. She's spiralling. One misstep, and it's over for her. Rio Valenti has fought his whole life to make it to this point. The start of his professional basketball career is just around the corner. He can't lose focus now, not with his criminal ties hanging over his head. He's on the edge. One misstep, and it's over for him. The rainy college town should have been their safe haven - the wetlands surrounding it a moat separating them from their pasts. The two meet in their freshmen year, with little in common but their social circles. Violet spends her days numb - hiding from the pain in any way she can. Rio runs from his. He's out from dawn to dusk, if not on the court, then scrounging up money for food or finding somewhere to sleep other than his car. What divides them most... is hope. Rio has it. Violet doesn't.Complete

The river
Nova is nineteen, in love, and quietly unraveling. On the outside, she's starting a new chapter of her life: college, independence, and a small apartment she shares with Hazel - the girl who makes her feel seen, safe, and loved. But inside, Nova's mind is a violent tide. Manic highs swallow her in electric energy she can't control. Psychotic breaks pull her into shadowed corners of reality. And the constant, crushing weight of mental illness threatens to drag her under before she ever gets the chance to breathe. Haunted by memories she can't outrun and emotions she can't always trust, Nova tries to keep her footing in a world that often feels like it's moving without her. Therapy sessions chip at the walls she's built. Creative sparks give her brief moments of clarity and purpose. Hazel's gentle steadiness becomes an anchor she wants to hold onto - even when she fears she's too broken to deserve it. But recovery is not linear, and the currents of Nova's mind are unpredictable. Some days she feels unstoppable, full of light and possibility. Other days she sinks so deep she can barely remember the surface exists. As school pressures build, old wounds reopen, and the past begins to seep into the present, Nova must confront the truth she's been avoiding: healing is messy, survival is brutal, and loving someone while fighting your own mind is its own kind of battle. Raw, intimate, and profoundly emotional, The River is a modern coming-of-age story about navigating mental illness, queer love, trauma, and the quiet bravery it takes to keep choosing life - even on the days when it feels impossible. Through lyrical prose and unflinching honesty, this novel invites readers into the aching beauty of Nova's journey as she learns that even when the water rises, there is still strength in reaching for the shore.
