Whispers in the Iron
Olivia Grace has always found comfort in the quiet. At eighteen, the library is her refuge, a world of soft pages and steady rhythms that keep the grief of losing her parents-and the sting of failed romances-at bay. Shy, guarded, and still untouched in more ways than one, she's spent years protecting herself from a world that asks too much too fast. With her older brother finally off to chase his dream of becoming an Army Ranger, Olivia is determined to start fresh in the fall-new college, new chapter, maybe even a new Olivia. But some shadows don't leave so easily. Liam Donovan, her brother's best friend and the boy who was never supposed to notice her, has quietly stepped into Kyle's place-dropping by unannounced, fixing things she didn't ask him to, looking at her like he sees far more than he should. He's two years older, rough where she's soft, dangerous in ways she can't quite name. And he's the one man she should never want. When a party ends in disaster and a call for help leads Liam straight to her, everything shifts. The tension between them snaps. Protective instincts give way to something possessive. And Olivia is no longer the quiet girl hiding behind her books-she's the one Liam can't stay away from. What begins as a slow burn ignites into something deeper, darker, and far more consuming than either of them expected. She's spent her life avoiding messy emotions. Now she's tangled in the most forbidden one of all.

The Luckiest Boy
After embracing the rush of life beyond college graduation, gently avoiding the summers that whispered of what could've been. Iris Madden returns to Oak Island, where the salt air still carries echoes of warmth, belonging, and the boy who once unraveled her heart-Ethan Cohen. She tells herself it's just one last summer before she leaves for Spain, a brief pause to pack up the past by healing and prepare for what's next. But Oak Island has a way of pulling you under. It always has for Iris. When Iris runs into Paxton Cohen-her best friend's little brother, now grown and impossibly familiar-she's caught off guard by the quiet confidence in his smile and the way he's changed into a young man and not the same 13 year old kid she left behind 6 years ago. As old haunts stir up buried grief and long-lost memories, Iris finds herself tangled in the bittersweet tension of what was and what could be. With the tide rising and time slipping, Iris must decide: is this summer just a farewell to the Cohens and Oak Island, or the beginning of something she never saw coming? [[WORK IN PROGRESS...NEW PARTS UPLOADED REGULARLY]] "That house, those boys, the rhythm of our shared seasons... they were the one constant I could count on. The one place where life felt simple, safe, and real. Oak Island wasn't just a destination. It was tradition. It was ours."
