How do you navigate a world that has always seemed just out of grasp?

Isabela has always known how to navigate life without sight. Growing up in a small town on California's coast, she relied on her instincts, her unbreakable connection to the sea, and the guidance of her father, a world-renowned surfer. But when tragedy struck, she left the waves behind, trading the surf for the courtroom, determined to fight for the environment and carry on her father's legacy.

Now, at 22, Isabela is starting law school at Columbia University, with her best friend Julian by her side. Life in New York is fast and chaotic, and loud-especially when Julian drags her to a sold-out concert for one of the biggest rock bands in the world: Blind Reckless.

In a chance encounter, Isabela stumbles into the band's dressing room and directly into the path of Enzo DeLuca, the band's enigmatic and arrogant lead guitarist. Known for his raw talent and brooding persona, Enzo is living the dream at the top of the charts, but behind the fame lies a restless heart haunted by expectations he can't escape.
Their worlds couldn't be more different lives in silence and stillness, he thrives in sound and chaos-but a spark ignites between them, one that neither can ignore. As their lives intertwine, they'll both be forced to confront the echoes of their pasts and find the courage to move forward. But will love be enough to fight through every obstacle in their way?

My name is Delaney and this is my story. I feel compelled to give you fair warning before you embark on my journey. It's messy. It's chock-full of terrible choices and split-second decisions filled with bad judgment. It's rough, complicated and angsty-but, hey, isn't that what real life is? You live and learn through experience. You (hopefully) mature and don't make the same mistakes twice. These, however, are tough lessons to learn when you're trying to navigate through. Sure, dear reader, you will have ideas of how I could've handled it all better-I know I certainly do, in retrospect. But, I'm me. I'm human. And to err is human, right? Isn't that the popular quote people love to use as an excuse? Well-there it is. Read my life story, I dare you, but remember you've been warned. The divorce of her parents does not come as a surprise to Delaney, however her mother's swift decision to relocate to Florida throws her for a loop. After enrolling in classes at university, she makes fast friends with Shane, the quintessentially perfect guy. Jaded by her past experiences with relationships, Shane completely confounds her. He represents everything Delaney believed didn't exist in real life; stability, security and good old-fashioned kindness. It should be effortless. With Shane, it's exactly the type of happily-ever-after story she loves to read, as well as write. Enter Fin: the edgy, risk-taking artist that unrelentingly captivates her attention. Soon after becoming her partner in literature class, he becomes her one and only copyeditor and most trusted confidant. Torn between two different worlds, Delaney stumbles through a range of decisions that lead her on an unexpected journey. She finds herself left with an impossible choice: A life of contentedness filled with ease and love or a passion-filled wild ride that leaves her breathless. However, Delaney also discovers that sometimes the seemingly unimportant everyday decisions end up making the choices for you...

Mindful Beauty by ClearMint23

Damien Petrotti barricaded himself within his logical, black and white walls, believing there is no area for second chances, for grey areas, or messy emotions. When he first meets the quiet and soft-spoken Ella Cortesa, a Spanish, delicate girl, he can't help but dislike her naivety and ignorance of the world. He lives in the court, deciding between right and wrong, and she lives advising people, giving them psychological help. He's not as cold as she thinks, and she's not as naive as he thinks. A modern combination of mind over heart, or is it heart over mind? ••• Ch. 39 Excerpt "Thank you for having the patience with me." Damien broke the silence, almost inaudibly when he began to feel Ella's full body trust him enough to begin to fall unconscious over him. Thinking that Ella wouldn't respond, Damien was ready to close his eyes and also go to sleep, but then he felt Ella's cold hand give him the smallest and most adoring squeeze on his warm fingers, her hum of something incoherent before she stilled completely, her breathing falling deeply. Even in her sleep, she could sense Damien, she would respond even in unconsciousness, and that made Damien's heart skip a beat. "To say that you are my whole existence and life would be the biggest understatement, my Ella." Damien sighed, incredulous that he had been blessed with such a beautiful and extraordinary human.

He steps closer, the cool night air swirling around us. There's a dangerous edge to his smile, a challenge in the way he looks at me, but I'm not one to back down. "Shouldn't you be with your band?" I ask, trying to sound unaffected. His grin widens, and he tilts his head slightly. "I was, but then I saw you. And now I can't seem to look away." I raise an eyebrow, crossing my arms over my chest. "Flattery, huh? You must be used to it." He takes another step toward me, his eyes intense, searching. "Maybe. But with you, it feels different." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Beneath The Light is a captivating tale of love, fame, and sacrifice, following the journey of Samira, an independent and creative woman, who unexpectedly finds herself entangled with Kaizen, the charismatic lead singer of an alternative pop band on the brink of stardom, Eclipse. Their connection begins in the most unlikely of ways-amidst the chaos of a club after a concert, where Kaizen's infatuation with Samira quickly grows into something deeper. But with Kaizen's world tour pulling him away, their connection is tested by the pressures of fame, the judgment of the public eye, and the challenge of navigating a relationship in the midst of it all. As their bond deepens, both Samira and Kaizen must confront their own fears-Samira's struggle to keep her independence intact and Kaizen's desire to protect her from the harsh world of fame. When the press catches wind of their growing connection, the stakes rise, and they must decide if their love is worth the sacrifice of hiding it from the world.
