Whispered Name
They say opposites attract - but what happens when the opposite of your world starts to quietly change it? Astrid Leigh Rodriguez was born with everything: wealth, name, beauty, and a laugh loud enough to fill a room. Keion Lucas Alvarez, on the other hand, grew up with almost nothing but discipline, silence, and a dream he could barely afford. They never should've crossed paths. But they did. And somehow, amidst deadlines, laughter, cheap coffee, and shared bus rides, they found something real - something that made the world slow down, if only for a while. She taught him how to live a little louder. He taught her how to listen to the quiet. And somewhere between the teasing and the tenderness, they began to fall. But life has its way of reminding people that not everything beautiful is meant to last forever. Sometimes, it's the fleeting moments - the laughter, the shared music, the way he says her name - that linger the longest. Because maybe some stories aren't about forever. Maybe they're about the brief time the universe lets two souls meet.Complete

Not All Bridges Burn
Wren Calloway and Dakota Ashby have grown up in each other's lives whether they liked it or not. Their parents have been best friends since college. Somewhere along the way, the friendship between Wren and Dakota splintered into something tense and unspoken, with sharp remarks and practiced indifference hiding whatever used to be there. Wren isn't an outcast - she's smart, kind, a kind of lowkey student at Willowridge High - but she keeps most people at a distance. Her real world lives in her songwriting notebook and late-night piano sessions, where she can safely say all the things she won't out loud. She's good at hiding how out of control she sometimes feels. Dakota is the school's golden boy - charismatic, athletic, always in control - or at least that's what everyone thinks. But behind the perfect image is a guy under pressure to live up to expectations he's not sure he wants. And the one person who never bought into his perfect act? Wren Taylor. When a group project at school - followed by an unexpected family arrangement - forces Dakota and Wren to spend real time together again, the walls they've both carefully built start to crack. Through late-night conversations, old jokes that still land, and the quiet pull of two people who've known each other forever, something new begins to take shape. Something real. But just as they start to unravel the truth of who they are - and who they might be to each other - the past resurfaces, and old wounds threaten to break them before they really begin. Set against the backdrop of senior year, this is a story about letting your guard down, rewriting what you thought you knew, and falling in love with the person who saw through you all along. *** TW - This book contains depictions of eating disorder behaviours such as body dysmorphia and purging.

GRAY'S GRACE
"I didn't realize you were keeping count." "You make it hard not to." He didn't miss a beat. She finally looked up at him then, for a split second, before turning back to the work at hand. "You make it seem like it bothers you." He took a slow step forward. Then another. The passing wood creaked beneath his polished black shoes- not from weight, but rather, intention. And when he did reach her, the air changed. Thickened. He didn't say a word. Just crouched, until their faces were level. His eyes raked over her- slow, invasive, wicked. He reached out, fingers catching her chin in a motion neither tender nor tedious- just possessive in its certainty. Like she was his to tilt- nothing more than something placed where he wanted it. She didn't flinch, didn't pull away, yet her spine straightened- a quiet rebellion he didn't miss. His thumb skimmed the edge of her jaw, tracing the line of it, the motion maddeningly slow. "You should know by now," he murmured, voice lower than before- rough silk, meant for her alone, "I don't waste my time on things," a pause, "not unless they crawl under my skin." He leaned closer, so close the scent of rain on wool and expensive cologne curled around her. "And you, Adair..." His tone sharpened. One breath more and those lips would certainly brush the shell of her ear. "You don't just crawl... no." A pause- sharp, surgical. "You spread, like a fucking disease." --Gray's Grace is a haunting tale of love caught in the gray - where nothing is certain, and everything is at risk.--
