Not All Bridges Burn
Wren Calloway and Dakota Ashby have grown up in each other's lives whether they liked it or not. Their parents have been best friends since college. Somewhere along the way, the friendship between Wren and Dakota splintered into something tense and unspoken, with sharp remarks and practiced indifference hiding whatever used to be there. Wren isn't an outcast - she's smart, kind, a kind of lowkey student at Willowridge High - but she keeps most people at a distance. Her real world lives in her songwriting notebook and late-night piano sessions, where she can safely say all the things she won't out loud. She's good at hiding how out of control she sometimes feels. Dakota is the school's golden boy - charismatic, athletic, always in control - or at least that's what everyone thinks. But behind the perfect image is a guy under pressure to live up to expectations he's not sure he wants. And the one person who never bought into his perfect act? Wren Taylor. When a group project at school - followed by an unexpected family arrangement - forces Dakota and Wren to spend real time together again, the walls they've both carefully built start to crack. Through late-night conversations, old jokes that still land, and the quiet pull of two people who've known each other forever, something new begins to take shape. Something real. But just as they start to unravel the truth of who they are - and who they might be to each other - the past resurfaces, and old wounds threaten to break them before they really begin. Set against the backdrop of senior year, this is a story about letting your guard down, rewriting what you thought you knew, and falling in love with the person who saw through you all along. *** TW - This book contains depictions of eating disorder behaviours such as body dysmorphia and purging.

Blossom
A scandal. A stranger. A slow-burn game neither of them is ready to lose. Sienna Parker built a life out of being perfect. Picture-perfect, camera-perfect, brand-perfect. But after her glamorous engagement implodes in the most public way imaginable, she escapes to the English countryside to lick her wounds alone. At least, that was the plan. What she finds instead is Julian Livingston: a modern-day Duke with old-money manners, devastating restraint, and a stare sharp enough to see straight through her curated world. He's infuriatingly unreadable. Ridiculously attractive. And absolutely not part of her recovery plan. But when two people who refuse to be vulnerable keep circling the same emotional battlefield, tension becomes its own kind of intimacy. With every encounter, the line between sparring and seduction begins to blur. Behind the barbed words and stolen glances, something deeper brews, something neither of them is ready for. She's all chaos and deflection. He's all composure. Together, they're a slow unravel waiting to happen. If you love emotionally charged banter, aching tension, and two fiercely guarded hearts trying not to fall, Bloom will consume you. ***Content Warning*** This story contains mature themes including sexual content, emotional manipulation, morally complex relationships, cheating, and adult language.
