Jessica Smith arrived in Toronto for college with her best friend Isabella and her brother Adam by her side. She craved a simple life, filled with quiet moments and small joys. With a love for fashion and a heart rooted in calm, Jessica expected a peaceful journey.
But love had other plans.
What began as a soft friendship with a boy she never expected slowly grew into something deeper. Their connection was quiet, unfolding through glances, shared silences, and gentle understanding. Over three years, college became more than books and lectures. It became the backdrop for a love that was tender, uncertain, and unforgettable.
This is a story of two hearts finding each other in the stillness. A story of growth, warmth, and the kind of love that takes its time.
Because from the beginning, this was never nothing.

FORBIDDEN TIES {My brother's best friend}
Selena stood at the edge of the crowded room, her gaze fixed on Ezra and Cyrus, laughing together as if the world revolved around them. Ezra was magnetic, always the center of attention, but it wasn't her brother who captivated her tonight. Cyrus. His rugged charm and effortless presence pulled at her, like a secret she could no longer suppress. The bond between him and Ezra was unshakable-a brotherhood built over years of loyalty and trust. But as she watched Cyrus, something stirred inside her. A deep, forbidden desire she knew she shouldn't have. Her heart raced, her mind swimming with dangerous thoughts. Could he ever see her as more than Ezra's little sister? She felt the invisible wall between them, one built by blood and loyalty, yet she couldn't help but wonder-what if? She glanced away, guilt and longing mixing in her chest. The four brothers who'd always protected her loomed in the back of her mind, their shadows casting doubt over any chance she might have with Cyrus. But when she caught his gaze, lingering just a second too long, a dangerous spark lit within her. Some secrets, she realized, might be impossible to keep buried forever. The question was-would Cyrus feel it too? Selena has four brothers after all!Complete

She hated the spotlight. He lived in it. She was just the quiet girl with perfect grades. He was power wrapped in charm. Rich beyond belief. An heir to a name powerful enough to open any door and shut any mouth. Nobody knew her secrets, hidden behind glass smiles and a shine so bright. Nobody knew his darkness, worn like a crown. That was bowed before. He didn't shine, he burned. Selena didn't know what she was getting into. It was her sister's friend. It was a harmless crush. A fantasy. A look. But then, he looked back. Now he wants her. To claim. To possess. To destroy and rebuild until there's nothing left of her that isn't his. He'd bleed, hurt -- burn down the world to have her. She wanted to belong. He wanted her to belong to him.
Steal my Heart
It all started with a rumour-the kind that everyone insists is true. Andrea Quinn, a nineteen-year-old college student, has always been surrounded by one rumour everywhere she goes. When she hears whispers that her male friend has feelings for her. It's nothing new to her, but she denies it and convinces herself it's nothing. But what happens when the rumours surrounding them soon start to prove true? They both feel it. They both want it, but neither is willing to risk 15 years of friendship for something unstable. Andrea struggles with her own feelings as she navigates mixed signals and fears losing what she already has. ~~~~~ By the time I slid into the passenger seat of his car, I was buzzing with excitement like a kid who'd just been told they were going to Disneyland. The window was down, the sun was spilling gold onto the dashboard, and Xander looked unfairly good in the driver's seat. The moment he started the engine, I grabbed his hand and plopped it on my lap. He blinked at me. "What are you doing?" "Keeping your hand safe," I said simply, tracing circles on his palm with the tip of my finger. "From what exactly?" "Loneliness." He stiffened but didn't pull away. If anything, his thumb twitched a little, like he wanted to hold back but couldn't. I grinned to myself and started drawing random shapes on his skin: hearts, stars, a very questionable flower. He didn't pull away. In fact, after a few seconds, his thumb brushed against my knuckles. Just barely. But it was enough to make my chest do this stupid warm things that I was going to blame on the sun. Then, without really thinking about it, I laced our fingers together. He cleared his throat. "...Andrea." "Yes?" "You're... dangerous." I grinned wider. "I've been told." I turned to look at him. He was staring ahead, but his jaw was a little tight and his ears had gone pink. Cute. So, so cute.
