The Weather of Us
He met her in a storm. He found her hair tie on the ground. He returned it the next day like it meant something. After getting dumped in the middle of a train station downpour, Elara Hayes is officially done with romance, heartbreak, and boys who fold at the first sign of feelings. What she doesn't expect is the stranger watching her from across the platform - or the fact that he finds the pink hair tie she dropped and keeps it like it matters. Kade Vance wasn't planning on following her to a café the next morning. He wasn't planning on crossing the room, handing back the hair tie, and asking if she's okay in that rough, quiet voice that sounds like thunder about to break. But storms have a way of pulling people toward each other. She's soft and chaotic - raised between divorced parents who treat feelings like ammunition. He's calm and dangerous - the boy everyone warns her about, the one who watches the world like he's always waiting for it to hit first. They weren't supposed to collide again. They definitely weren't supposed to fall this fast. But when her family dinner explodes and Kade texts her at the exact moment she breaks, everything shifts. Too fast. Too intense. Too much. Exactly like the weather. Now Elara's trying to figure out why a stranger feels safer than her own family, and Kade's trying to hide how hard he's already fallen. Because the truth is simple: She's the calm after his storm. He's the storm she's been waiting for. And some people don't just meet - they collide.

The Wrong Kind of Love
Some loves are whispered. Some are hidden. Some can tear a family apart. Maya never meant for it to happen. She was supposed to be Ellie's best friend-the constant, the confidante, the one person Ellie could always trust. But then there was Leo: strong, steady, scarred by loss. A man who should have been untouchable. One glance too long. One laugh that lingered. One moment too close-and the boundaries they swore to protect began to crack. Now, every lie feels heavier. Every silence burns hotter. And as desire grows in the shadows, so does the risk: of betrayal, of heartbreak, of losing everything they thought was unshakable. What begins as a spark becomes a storm. And when the truth finally breaks through, love may not be enough to save them.
