Stephanie Rivers has always been invisible. At school, she is the quiet girl in the corner-the one no one notices, no one sits with, no one truly knows. She has learned to live in her silence, hiding behind books and empty hallways, convinced that belonging is for everyone else but her. Then there's Tavion Cole. Steady, confident, the kind of boy everyone seems to know. He's not the loudest in the room, but he's always seen. And for reasons Stephanie can't explain, he starts to notice her-the girl who has spent years trying not to exist. A casual "hey." A seat taken at her lonely table. Small ripples that begin to change everything. But the closer Tavion gets, the more Stephanie's walls begin to crack. And with attention comes whispers, with friendship comes vulnerability, and with love comes the terrifying possibility of being hurt. In a world where she's always been overlooked, Stephanie must decide: can she trust someone enough to finally be seen, or will she let fear keep her invisible forever?

As their lives become entwined, secrets unravel, emotions flare, and the line between love and pain becomes impossible to ignore. But in a world of broken promises, can they both heal-or will their hearts remain shattered?Complete

A tough-love story, built by insecurities, gets stronger and more passionate in the midst of the ocean. Two different hearts, two different lives, but the same pain. --- Cher McBroom is a young woman with insecurities that goes over her own will. Life has crushed her bad, very bad. She was sadly a victim of a 'natural disaster', as she names it, and this disaster has led to other disasters in her life, creating a rift between her and her future. After years of torture, sadness, and being rejected by all who she thought were her 'friends', she decides to seize her baggage and her pain and embark on an adventure she has never experienced before She wants one thing, loneliness, but a first frail encounter with a young man makes her feel things differently. The mysterious man who wears sunglasses every time is what might be able to allow Cher to live a bit, at least, a tiny bit. Sether, on the other hand, is a young man who has his future in the fog. He doesn't care much about the world, he doesn't care about the women who approach him all the times, he doesn't care about the mockeries he receives regularly because of his hideous sunglasses, he doesn't mind, because he knows the pain, he knows it deeply. Both are solitary birds seeking a shoulder to lean on without even knowing it. They will meet, they will feel the same, they will probably fall passionately in love, but the secrets within them have the keys to their future together. --- Started: 14/11/19 Completed: 5/07/20 Hope you'll love this!
