What It Could Have Been
I've been waiting for this moment for over a year now. Hoping, dreaming, holding onto the picture in my mind what life could be like. I always thought this would never come. Thinking it's impossible for me to have a new start. Go to a new place, see new faces, meet new people. It always felt like walking through a desert with a map drawn in water. But even then, I never let go of my dream. I would close my eyes and imagine everything. How different I would feel waking up in the morning, how light my chest would feel, how more confident and comfortable I would feel. I was kind of writing my own little story in my head. And now, I'm just one zip of my suitcase away and my story will be coming to life. ------------------------------- Venus Jennings didn't just leave Harbor Ridge, she escaped it. Haunted by loss and chased by memories she can't outrun. Venus builds a quiet new life in a new town where no one knows her name or the pain she carries. She wants a fresh start in hopes to finding something she's never truly had: Peace, freedom, and maybe even love. Lucas Solace is the last person Venus thought she would ever cross paths with. He's kind, sincere, incredibly handsome and impossible to ignore. He's everything Venus believes she doesn't deserve. With his charm and persistence she slowly catches herself falling for him. She doesn't want to because trust and love doesn't come easy to her when the past she's running from still haunts her in ways she can't explain . But she wonders if letting him in might not be so dangerous after all. As Venus begins to open up to new possibilities, shadows of her past resurface forcing her to confront the reality she's been avoiding instead of just accepting to be free.Complete

Hide Your Fires
"Stars, hide your fires; Let not light see my black and deep desires. The eye wink at the hand, yet let that be Which the eye fears, when it is done, to see." - Shakespeare People make mistakes. People break rules. People even break the law. Sure, we aren’t perfect creatures but the thing about people is that we usually have pretty good reasons behind those bad decisions. And another thing about people is that they tend not to care about reasons as much as actions. Hallie Rhodes has found this out the hard way. No, she’s not proud of the decisions that she’s made that may have put her at odds with the law, but she had her reasons. Not that anybody cares about reasons. The way Hallie saw it, she had no choice except to forge the documents to get herself and her two younger brothers out of an abusive foster home. She has had a lot of tough breaks in her life. She’s only eighteen but she already has custody of her two younger brothers and to make ends meet, she’s taken on a full-time job along with balancing her senior year of high school. Strong, determined, and mature- Hallie is ready for whatever life throws at her. Except for Tate Conner, who is the exact opposite of Hallie. Lazy, entitled, immature, and cocky. Fresh out of reform school and on parole, he is the epitome of a bad influence, which is why Hallie is outraged when she notices that her younger brother is starting to befriend Tate. As they continuously but heads, Hallie starts to wonder just how put-together she really is.Complete
Even Then You Looked At Me
Even Then, You Looked at Me by Carrie ♡ He left. She stayed. And neither of them has truly moved on. Two years ago, Luka Mikhailov a Russian- German disappeared without warning. No goodbyes. No closure. Just silence. He left behind unanswered texts, a worn-out hoodie, and a girl who never stopped wondering what went wrong. Now he's back. Older. Quieter. Sharper around the edges. Wearing a storm-grey coat, stepping out of a polished Rolls Royce, and holding a bouquet he's too afraid to give. Irina Moreau a Ukrainian-Italian girl has spent those years trying to forget. She built a routine, stayed soft, and quietly studied a language she swore she'd never need-his. She never expected him to come back. She never expected to feel everything again the moment he looked at her. But this isn't just a reunion. This is about the things left unsaid. The wounds they pretended had healed. The slow forgiveness that comes not with grand gestures-but with honesty, eye contact, and a quiet apology whispered in Russian. "Thank you. Because even then... you looked at me." A deeply emotional story of growing up, breaking down, and finding your way back to someone-not because they changed, but because they finally told the truth. For anyone who's ever loved softly. For anyone who stayed. This story is for you. Some love doesn't announce itself. Some love just waits. And hopes you're still looking. Even then.Complete
