Madison wants to become a pharmacist, and her college experience proves to be everything it's supposed to be. A lot of good times, tons of friends, lots of studying and cramming, and plenty of fun to balance things out.
Priya is her roommate and best friend, the one who keeps the party going. Together, they attend class, study hard, and hit the New York City scene when they can. That is, until life intervenes and love blooms.
Now, Priya is entrusted to keep Madison's secret, even if she's not quite onboard and concerned about her new relationship.
Years later, Madison's secret can no longer stay buried and will blossom as a memoir of a brief moment in time when everything synced, a fleeting moment that disappeared as soon as it appeared.
If you feel nostalgic about your college years and enjoy a heartfelt passage down memory lane, then A Glimpse of Color is for you.

I stare at Matt's face as he looks down, concentrating on the game. I can tell he's so angry. He's holding it in his jaw, he's clenching his teeth. He's up in his head and I don't know what's going on up there but I just know it's not good. Even if I get him back out now, I know that he's going to overthink everything later tonight. "Matty, it's ok." I whisper. He immediately looks up and finds my eyes. His blue eyes are bluer than normal. Impossibly blue. Not even a gray blue. But a pure, brilliant blue. "It's not ok, Rach. I fucking hate him." His swear catches me off guard a bit. But my eye contact doesn't waver. "Thank you." "You're welcome." My favorite color immediately changes to blue. --------------- Two childhood friends have spent a lifetime battling demons. Will life ever give them a break?

Finding Obsidian
He brushed his lips against my jaw, his dark hair falling over his brow. "Open your eyes," he commanded. "Look at me." I followed his orders and looked into the raven-black depths before me. I saw my entranced gaze reflected in his glaring one. "Tell me what you see." I kept on looking at him, searching for something, anything, that remained of the person he used to be. They say the eyes are the windows to the soul. But his eyes were so dark, so empty . . . "Nothing. I see nothing," I whispered. He smirked, his gaze still on me. He pulled away, leaving me feeling cold. "Exactly. You see nothing - that's because there's nothing there." ** How much can a person change in just three years?

Can they both heal from the scars time left behind, and find love in the process?Complete

Everything she once cherished slipped away in the blink of an eye. After a mugging gone wrong, Hannah is left with brain damage. Years later, she's still trying to come to terms with the fact that her old life is one she'll never get back. Not her ability to write out a sentence or read a good book.

Desperate for change, Hannah takes her former best friend from high school up on an offer to move in with her across the country and start a new life.

This part of the city doesn't fit someone like her and she's ready to turn around before her bags are even out of the car. Until she meets Meggie's boss.

But the brooding bar owner seems to have a soft spot for Hannah and is determined to show her that the choice she made to move here wasn't the wrong one and will do whatever it takes to get her to stay. Her second chance at life is becoming more than she imagined and as Hannah gets to know David, she begins to wonder if that second chance at life comes with a second chance at love.Complete
