ON-Court
At Victoria High School, where basketball is a religion and the elite rule the courts, seventeen-year-old Cherry is a ghost in the hallways. For five years, her entire existence has been a drug-fueled daydream centered on one person: Green, the school's golden boy and star athlete. Cherry is convinced that a single moment of intimacy with him is the key to her salvation. When she is handpicked to cover the championship season for the school editorial, her fantasy finally maneuvers into reality. But the dream she chased for half a decade doesn't just crumble-it explodes. What follows is a devastating cycle of heartbreak, public humiliation, and a life-altering crash that strips Cherry of everything, forcing her into the grueling climb toward sobriety and a seat in therapy. Now, Cherry is starting over. With a high-stakes internship at Alfred Magazine and her past in the rearview, she is finally writing a story where she is the protagonist. That is, until Travis walks into her classroom. He's the boy who saved her life when she hit rock bottom, yet he looks at her with the cold eyes of a stranger. Haunted by a past he refuses to share and armed with a "jerk" persona designed to keep everyone at bay, Travis is a mystery Cherry can't afford to solve. As the pressure of second-term exams looms and her career at the magazine takes off, Cherry must decide: Will she fight to uncover the man behind Travis's mask, or is she destined to lose herself in another boy's shadow?Complete

Heart Lessons (WlW)
Sometimes the best lessons aren't learned in class, they're felt in the heart. Riley Hale's life runs on caffeine, chaos, and cupcake batter. At twenty-eight, she's mastered the art of single motherhood, sarcasm, and pretending she's totally fine that her love life has been replaced by late-night cleaning montages and her eight-year-old's existential questions. Then one morning, a frosty stranger in a perfect beige coat walks into The Sweet Spot bakery and straight into Riley's list of "people I will never impress." After one spilled coffee and a mortifying apology later, Riley is convinced she'll never see the woman again. Until the next day, when she meets her daughter's new fifth-grade teacher... Miss Emerson Miller. What follows is a year of accidental flirtations, school-event disasters, and late-night bake-offs that blur the line between enemies, friends, and something sweeter. Because sometimes love doesn't show up when you plan it - it spills all over your shoes and dares you to start over.

The Equation Of Us
Let's be real-school isn't easy for everyone. Some people are born for it; they breeze through exams, ace every subject, and seem to have a secret code to surviving quizzes without breaking a sweat. But for the rest of us? We study 'til our eyes hurt, only to get red marks in return. We try, we fail, and we wonder why it's so hard to keep up while others make it look so easy. Gianna Rye Medina lives that struggle every single day. With her average IQ, Math feels like a never-ending nightmare she can't escape. Failing grades? Already part of her routine. Pasang-awa scores in other subjects? That's her definition of "victory." But just when she's ready to stop trying, here comes Zion Blaze Zamora-their class's golden boy. A Math major. The school's academic archiver. The guy who probably dreams in numbers and wakes up with formulas in his head. They couldn't be more different-she's always lost in class, and he's always on top. But when fate (and maybe a few group projects) start pulling them together, Gianna wonders: is Zion there to remind her of how far behind she is... or could he be the unexpected answer to the equation she's been failing all along? A story about falling, failing, and finding the kind of connection that no grade or formula could ever predict.
