Two worlds. Two dreams. One truth that could change everything. Emily Chen lives her life in careful strokes, painting dreams she's not supposed to want. When Lucas Rivera - star basketball player with a hidden camera and secrets of his own - crashes into her art studio, an accidental spill becomes the masterpiece that changes everything. Their connection is instant. Electric. Forbidden. Because Lucas has a championship title to defend and a single mom counting on his sports scholarship. And Emily has a father who's already chosen her future - one that doesn't include art school or falling for the wrong boy. But in the sanctuary of the dark room where Lucas develops his photographs, and in the quiet moments when Emily's brush dances across canvas, they discover a truth more beautiful than either imagined: Sometimes the most perfect art comes from falling. As their secret relationship deepens, Emily and Lucas must decide what matters more - the dreams their families planned, or the dreams they're only beginning to imagine. With graduation approaching and pressure mounting from all sides, can their love survive when their two worlds collide? A story about art, authenticity, and the courage to choose love over expectations. Because sometimes the scariest falls become the most beautiful flights. "Some accidents become destiny.

BENEATH THE SURFACE by Vermontwritter

"Beneath the Surface" follows the evolving relationship between Indie and Eli, two young adults navigating the complexities of love, trust, and vulnerability. Indie, a fiercely independent woman who has always relied on herself, is slowly learning to embrace the idea of leaning on someone else-specifically Eli. Eli, a steady and calm presence in her life, has been her anchor, but his own insecurities and fears about abandonment and being "enough" for her create subtle tension between them. As they move through the highs and lows of their relationship, both are forced to confront their individual struggles with trust, self-worth, and the fear of losing themselves in the process of being with someone else. Set against the backdrop of their transition from college to adulthood, the story explores themes of emotional growth, the delicate balance between independence and interdependence, and the vulnerability that comes with love. As they move in together, build their careers, and experience the ups and downs of life, Indie begins to shed the armor she's built around herself, allowing Eli to truly see her-fragile and strong in equal measure. In turn, Eli learns how to embrace his masculinity in a way that doesn't overwhelm her, but rather gives her the space to be soft, nurturing, and open. "Beneath the Surface" is a raw, intimate look at how love can transform us, revealing hidden depths of our emotions and fears. It's a journey of letting go and learning to trust-both the person you love and yourself. Through tender moments, playful banter, and moments of intense passion, Indie and Eli discover that the truest love is one that allows both people to grow while being fully seen and accepted.
