He left it all just like he said he would. He left her behind just like he promised to never do. Quinn has nothing left of Cassius except for the memories of him-of them-left behind.
What once were two teenagers who blurred the lines between romance and friendship now live on as strangers, until their paths intertwine once again. Pent up emotions and truths of the past reveal hidden feelings and evokes change within them.

Nothings Ever As Perfect As It Seems
Jack Reid thought he had all the time in the world to figure things out like how to win over Mia Sinclair, the girl he's been hopelessly in love with since freshman year. But senior year is flying by, and Mia still looks at him like he's nothing more than a punchline. All his grand gestures, cheesy jokes, and late-night confessions have gotten him nowhere. It's fine, though. Jack's always had Quinn Stephens, his best friend since forever. She's the one who knows him better than anyone, the one who calls him out on his ridiculous plans, and the one who's always there to pick up the pieces when things with Mia inevitably fall apart. But lately, Jack's started to notice things about Quinn he never did before the way her laughter lingers in his head, how her eyes catch the light just right, and the way her voice feels like home. For the first time, Jack begins to question everything he thought he wanted. Maybe Mia isn't the girl of his dreams. Maybe it's Quinn. Maybe she's been the one all along. But just as Jack starts to imagine what life could be like if he took the risk, time seems to run out faster than he ever expected. Because some moments can't be undone. Some chances only come once. And some love stories don't get the ending you think they will. Nothings Ever As Perfect As It Seems is a bittersweet, unforgettable tale about love, loss, and realizing what matters most before it's too late. For readers who believe in love stories that break your heart and put it back together in the most unexpected ways.

Into the Velvet
*EDITORS' CHOICE 2021*After falling for her senior year teacher, Louise learns a harsh lesson on what adulthood isn't. Louise has some trauma to unpack. Heartbreak's a bitch, and her first relationship had been anything but normal. Thinking herself mature for her age, her affair with Mr. Cain started swooningly well. Except things ended quite abruptly. It's a lot for a seventeen year old to handle. But who's really at fault for what happened? Who even is Mr. Cain, and what is he hiding? From the wreckage of her naivety and self-esteem, can Louise save her friendships and rebuild herself? Our love songs aren't telling the whole truth. How can this be? In this tale of vulnerability, adolescence and painful reckoning, the arrogance of youth demands a price. * "'You're what, Louise?' he asked. 'You're sorry? What am I supposed to do here? How can I turn this around? How can I tell you that everything you want and feel is reciprocated, when I have to go back to work and pretend none of it happened?' 'I don't know the answer!' I cried. 'Neither of us do.' I threw my hands up in defeat. He caught them before they could fall. 'But how do I go back to living without your words?' His voice became a whisper. He squeezed my fingers tightly, closing his eyes and bringing them to his chest. 'I need how you make me feel, Luiza. I need it to feel alive. I won't stay away. No one's made me feel this good before. And I can't stand myself for wanting what I want. What do I do?' I was a violin bow on the verge of splintering. Every inch of me pulsed with an ache that began from the marrow of my bones. Fate had brought us here. At this crossroads of ours, there were a hundred different choices to make. A thousand different lifetimes to choose from, stemming from and decided entirely by my next choice. And in the end, I chose incorrectly. I held his face between my hands, feeling the echoing pulse of his skin. I brought his face to mine. I kissed him."Complete
Once in a Lifetime {BxB English}
IMPORTANT: Once in a Lifetime: Part 1 is now officially published on Amazon! Please read the "READ THIS FIRST" chapter for more information and future updates. They say some loves only happen once. For Ody and Mano, that once changes everything. Mano doesn't do vulnerability. Aggressive, tattooed, cold, and impossible to like, he plays the villain on purpose, because being hated is safer than being seen. And losing someone again isn't a risk he's willing to take. Ody is the opposite. Bright, extroverted, charming, and painfully sincere, he notices when you're hurting, even when you pretend you're not. He remembers your birthday, offers you the last slice, and apologizes even when it's not his fault. For someone like Mano, that kind of softness is dangerous. When their lives collide, nothing about them makes sense, except the way they keep gravitating toward each other. What starts as tension becomes something neither of them can name, and soon, something they can't stop. But between secrets, buried trauma, and a world that won't let them exist without consequences, wanting each other comes at a cost. One keeps pushing him away. The other keeps reaching past every warning sign. Together, they burn. But when everything catches fire, love may not be enough to save them.Complete
