Her Portrait
Jay has spent years perfecting her craft in the solitude of her art studio, where the hum of creativity drowns out everything else. The only thing that truly captivates her is the art she creates, until the enigmatic Calista Clarke enters her world. Answering an ad for a model, Calista brings more than just a striking face to Jay's canvas-she brings a magnetic energy that unsettles and ignites a desire Jay can't ignore. As Jay paints Calista, something begins to shift between them. The lines of the portrait blur, becoming less about capturing a likeness and more about capturing the emotion, the unspoken connection that seems to spark between them every time their eyes meet. But with every brushstroke, Jay finds herself drawn deeper into something far more complex than art: a bond she never anticipated, a truth she's afraid to face. Calista's presence stirs emotions Jay has spent a lifetime avoiding-vulnerability, longing, and the fear of opening her heart. And as the days pass, both women find themselves standing on the edge of something they can't control. The studio becomes their battleground, their sanctuary, and the place where every moment spent together threatens to shatter the walls they've carefully built around themselves. As passion simmers beneath the surface, Jay must confront what it means to truly let someone in, and whether her art-and her heart-can survive the unraveling of everything she thought she knew. Her Portrait is a beautifully intimate journey that blends the power of art with the raw vulnerability of love, exploring the thin line between creation and destruction, connection and fear, and the courage it takes to step into the unknown. A story about two people who must learn that sometimes the most powerful masterpieces are the ones we never expect-and that love, like art, can be both freeing and terrifying.Complete

To Capture A Heart ✔
*She wasn't looking for love - just snacks and a nap. But then he smiled...* ~True love? Unexpected. Emotional growth? Unwanted. Drama? Inevitable.~ Veronica D'Costa isn't exactly the main character type just - a regular teen: emotionally avoidant, chronically sarcastic, and fully committed to winging her way through life, with her loyal (and mildly chaotic) friend group. One night. One betrayal. That changed everything. Now Veronica's pretending, deflecting, and power-napping her way through emotions. But when a certain boy - golden-eyed, infuriatingly kind, and way too observant - starts asking the right questions, she'll have to do the one thing she's avoided all year: feel. Because surviving senior year means more than just acing math or mastering beer pong - it means facing what broke her, before she lets it define her. She's growing up. She's falling in love. And she might just be the main character after all. Messy, meaningful, and mildly chaotic - this is the year everything changes. Even her. P.S.- This isn't a fairy tale. It's a slightly sarcastic coming-of-age crisis.Complete
