My Colors Are You
Rory doesn't believe in second chances-especially not the kind that come wrapped in late-night stares and the echo of unsaid things. After a year away from campus, she returns quieter, a little more hollow around the edges, and nowhere near ready to face what she left behind. She's good at pretending everything's fine. Until Harley-the boy who sees through everyone-starts unraveling the lie. He's all edges and shadows, more bruised heart than bad boy. And when their paths crash again, it's anything but gentle. Between secret glances, late-night confessions, and the chaos of people who pretend they're okay, Rory starts to realize that healing isn't about going back. It's about being seen-messy, uncertain, and real. And maybe, just maybe, finding the one person whose colors match your own. Currently under editing as of June 27, 2025 Book 2 coming soon: My Blues, Greys, and GoldsComplete
