Colors of the Heart
Mia Harper has always preferred the quiet. While the halls of Brookfield High buzz with life, she stays on the edges, content with her sketchbook and the silent beauty of the world around her. Art is her escape, her way of expressing emotions she can't put into words. She's never needed attention-until James Carter walks into her life. James is everything Mia isn't-confident, charismatic, and effortlessly admired.

He's spent his whole life trying to be perfect, but when he stumbles upon Mia in the art room, he sees something different. Something real. What begins as quiet curiosity turns into an unexpected connection. James is drawn to Mia's world of color and imagination, and Mia finds herself stepping outside her comfort zone in ways she never imagined. But letting someone in isn't easy, and both must face their fears-Mia's fear of being seen and James's fear of not living up to who he's supposed to be. Colors of the Heart is a story of contrasts, connection, and the beauty of seeing the world through someone else's eyes.Complete

Twisted Deception
[Book #1 of Twisted Deception] "You people don't know a damn thing about us, don't even speak." **** Everyone knows that high school is always something to dread. GPA, friends, enemies, prom, graduation, everything that you think would make high school good and bad for the future. Now scratch off friends, GPA, prom, and graduation. Why would you scratch them off? Because everything else will be the only thing that's important when you get to this high school. Saint Johnathan Pier is the one high school in the city where everything happens and normally, stuff you wish you didn't see. Everyone warned people about the dangers of the students going there but did they ever mention the people already broken by it? They were dubbed "the rainbow colors of society" just because they were different from other students in this school. But there's a slight differential between them: four of these students are popular while the other four are normal. While the four populars are seen as "superior, hot, and intimidating", the four normals are seen as "weirdos, weaklings, and irreverent bystanders". Being different from the other kids has always been a struggle for all of them since grade school, but they try to keep that out of mind. But with their dark history following them at every corner, making new friends can't be on their list. Matter of fact, it isn't an option. Especially when their attitudes are what drive people away rather than in. Not like they're complaining though. When these eight students get paired up for an end of the year assignment, they encounter a lot of drama that will test their relationships to the max. What will happen to them? Can they grow comfortable with each other? Can these troubled teens even be friends in the first place? Come along on the journey as these eight try to survive their last year of high school. ⚠️TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️: This contains strong language, mentions of rape, bullying, etc.Complete

A Beautiful Mess.
We never notice something is missing until it's gone. We never know about the void until we know what was supposed to fill it. We never know the magnitude of the impact until it's felt. We never have regrets until we make mistakes. We never see rainbows unless there was a storm. We can never make peace without there being a conflict first. It might all sound bad at first but keep in mind that there's always good where there's bad. There's always truth where there's lies. Theres always life where there's death. And theres always love where there's hate. Put this all together and you have A Beautiful Mess...Complete
