It's the 1860s. As the American Civil War rages on, two teenagers find unexpected refuge in their budding friendship-one that blossoms into something more.

In a small Maryland town balanced on the edge of loyalty and rebellion, they find themselves irrevocably drawn together. One is a free spirit, sharp-tongued, and unconventional young lady. The other, a charming outsider raised among aristocrats, jaded by the frivolous life of high society.

She's lost someone to the war. He knows it's the wrong time to fall in love. But the heart rarely waits for permission.

This slow-burning romance explores the courage it takes to hope-especially when everything around you says not to. With letters tucked under pillows, glances that linger too long, and a town that watches too closely, their story is one of stolen moments and hard decisions.

Featuring beloved tropes like friends to lovers, and the yearning ache of uncertain affection, this sweeping historical drama captures the uncertain beauty of first love in a world where trust is a radical act-and loving someone may be the bravest choice of all.

And what happens when he finds himself longing for her? Cressida goes to a completely different place, one she has only heard in stories and read in books, with hopes of finding what her heart has always longed for.

Nirvana by mellxhoney

Torn between what's real and what's not, Lucy struggles to decide whether her memories of a particular childhood friend are real, fabricated by her imagination, or perhaps something else entirely, like an apparition. Following the death of her mother at only five years old, Lucy had no choice but to live alone with her father, who handled his grief poorly. By being unable to move on, he affected her life adversely in many ways. The only source of solace in her life at that time was a friendship she formed with a mysterious boy of the same town where she lived, which eventually evolved into a crush. Now, as time passed and Lucy grew older, she wanted to make sense of her earlier recollections of that boy, only to find out that he was nowhere to be found, leaving her questioning everything she once believed.
