Ruby| ✓
In the bitter winter of 1942 Saskatchewan, Ruby MacInnes and her husband Richard live on the edge of town, of acceptance, of survival. She's a Black woman from Halifax, disavowed for marrying a white man. He's a WWI veteran, quiet and scarred, clinging to the love that gives his life meaning. Together, they've built a fragile sanctuary in a place that barely tolerates their existence. But when a local soldier goes missing, the town's simmering prejudice erupts. Ruby becomes the target of suspicion, and the truth she carries-about what Caleb Hartley did to her-threatens to destroy everything. As Richard stands by her, the couple faces escalating threats, isolation, and the brutal weight of injustice. Their home is vandalized. Their names smeared. And the sheriff, led by Caleb's powerful father Elias, refuses to believe them. What follows is a devastating reckoning, one that costs Ruby everything and leaves the town forever changed, though never truly repentant.Complete

SEE RIGHT THROUGH ME
" 'Cause if I know you see me falling, You'll be right there to pick me up" Liyah never meant to fall this fast. She's the shy-but-outgoing type - the kind of girl who laughs things off, bites her tongue, and lets stuff slide just to keep the peace. Communication isn't her strong suit, and standing up for herself never came easy. But when Kayzon walks into her life, everything she thought she knew about protecting her heart gets complicated. Kayzon's got his own story - one written in pain, loss, and walls too high for most people to climb. His past made him hard, quiet, and guarded, but somehow, Liyah gets past the surface. She makes him feel seen again. Safe, even. What starts as late-night conversations and lazy afternoons in her dorm turns into something deeper, something neither of them expected. But when two people carrying their own kind of hurt collide, love doesn't always heal - sometimes, it exposes. Did they move too fast, or did they just find each other at the wrong time?
