At the end of her Senior year Claire's once neighbor, Lucas, returns. This would typically just be an interesting piece of dinner gossip - pass the salt? - and life goes on...right? It isn't so. Claire can't get him out of her head and quite frankly, the attraction between them is obvious. But why are they only seeing this now? 

Life won't wait for them as they are pulled in different directions. Claire will have to decide if she is willing to change the path she's headed towards for Lucas and if altering her plans to take a chance on love with someone she had once seen as no more than a neighbor and friend is the best thing to do. She'll have to ask herself if she can overcome her fears of falling hard and if she trusts him to be the one to catch her.

Because if it was not until the second time around that they realized these feelings, who's to say the risk is worth the shot in the dark?

How far would you go to protect the ones you love? A successful architect with a promising career in London, Brian's world spins out of control when the man he always saw as a second father betrays him in the most unexpected way. Left without closure, a year has passed and Brian is now more determined than ever to undo the harm done to the ones he loves most, his family. Even if that means riding the thin line between justice, revenge, and obsession... Immersed in his resolve, finding love again was the last thing on his mind. Until fate steps in and a chance encounter changes everything. Meeting Olivia again so unexpectedly, at his best friend's wedding, stirs up memories he had long ago put away. She'd been his first love, his kindred spirit - and the woman who left him without saying so much as a goodbye. Which doesn't make him want her less. He knows it, the moment she locks her deep green eyes on his. Even knowing it might be too late to repair what's been once broken, Brian refuses to lose her again and sets out to find a way back to her heart. But it's been more than ten years since their story was left unfinished. Will they get one last chance to make things right? Or will Brian learn that sometimes justice comes at too high a price? *** NOTE TO READERS: A full-length, standalone contemporary romance, Where the Stars Fall was previously published on Wattpad as Falling Home. This edition has been fully revised with added and edited content.

"I loved, and adored him back then. But maybe, second chances aren't meant for everyone in the world." She is type of a girl who is a kind of oversized one but, brainy she can do both or must say multi task, a debater who is very articulate, a journalist to their school paper and known as a genius student but one day, he met again a person from his past without her realizing that it's him and became the one reason of the changes to her physical appearance and inner soul. Then an unexpected thing will happen that someone will fall in love with her that she met in the world of RPW, who had a familiar vibe. How will she handle it? Is the first guy still the same guy? Are they still one person? Or the other way around. Is there a chance that, maybe, the silent opponent of who? Is the literal soulmate of her, the guy whom she knew deeply who was already there before he met those other people? Or, her literal weakness is the guy who admired her since they were in their first years, in high school. What if the two of them are her weakness and it is unexpected. But the worst thing is another person, or more people will confuse her again about what she feels towards the guy that he truly loves. Years will come, thousands of people will meet and encounter each other, cashes will continue to burn out, those bright colors will fade, leaves will fall down by the help of the frail or burly wind, small plants will finally grow, time will fly quickly, and then maturity will hit them. All of us will grow old, but her true weakness will still remain who? From a puppy love, back in high school until she became the heiress, will still be who? Who will be her unexpected weakness?
