Athena "Anya" Manalili, a librarian cloaked in the silence of a thousand stories, has built a fortress around her heart. Haunted by a past filled with broken love, she's convinced that happiness is a myth, a whisper lost in the dusty pages of forgotten tales. But when Professor Adrian "Adie" Cruz, a man whose smile holds the warmth of a thousand suns, enters her life, the walls she's built begin to crumble. Adie's kindness and genuine affection challenge her guarded world, forcing her to confront the ghosts of her past and to consider the possibility of love, even if it means risking the pain of a lifetime. Can Adie help Anya break free from the chains of her trauma and find hope in the embrace of a love that dares to defy the whispers of her past?

In which... At the University of Sydney, sparks fly in the lecture halls when Isadora Rodriguez, a sharp-tongued, charismatic overachiever with a wild streak, collides with Simon Seville, the uptight, bespectacled academic perfectionist known for his cold logic and killer grades. What begins as a war of words and one-upmanship-sabotaged presentations, snide remarks, and brainy brawls-quickly spirals into late-night study sessions full of tension, quiet admiration masked as competition, and stolen glances they refuse to admit mean anything. As the year unfolds, the walls come down: Isadora sees past Simon's stoic exterior to the boy who's been pushing himself to exhaustion, desperate for recognition and security. Simon discovers the vulnerability behind Isadora's bold front, the insecurities she hides behind her sarcasm and chaos. There's jealousy. There's denial. There's a moment in the library that almost turns into a kiss. There are rainy nights, blanket forts, drunken confessions, and the quiet realization that they've stopped wanting to win against each other... and started wanting each other. The tension breaks somewhere-with one impulsive, heated kiss that turns into a full emotional unraveling. By the time they admit their feelings, it's messy, beautiful, and absolutely worth every insult hurled. From rivals to reluctant partners, to lovers who now know every version of each other-this is a story of growth, vulnerability, chaos, intimacy, and undeniable love between two people who never expected to fall for the one person who challenged them the most. Enemies to lovers Slow-burn with explosive payoff Fluff hidden under layers of angst and tension Smart people being absolute idiots about their feelings Longing. Pining. Banter. Chaos.Complete
Where Silence Sings
She hasn't spoken a word in years. He's got a reputation that screams trouble. Anya Thorne's voice was stolen by a past she can't escape. Kidnapped, abused, and left for dead, she survived, but her words died with the trauma. Now, her only solace is the college music room, where, after hours and utterly alone, her unique, hauntingly beautiful voice can finally sing, a raw whisper of who she truly is. Jasper Knox is the campus bad boy. Tattoos, piercings, and a rebellious streak a mile wide. He's constantly butting heads with his strict father and has no plans beyond dodging expectations. But late one night, leaving detention, a melody drifts from the music room-a voice that stops him cold. He hears her. Really hears her. Drawn by the secret beauty of her song, Jasper finds himself obsessed with the silent girl. As he slowly, patiently, chips away at Anya's deep-seated trauma and fierce paranoia, a tentative trust begins to bloom. He shows her his own hidden world-a raw, emotional talent for the piano, a passion he's always concealed. But their fragile connection is threatened by every side: Anya's overprotective parents who fear Jasper is too dangerous, his demanding father who sees Anya as a distraction, Jasper's manipulative "bad girl" girlfriend, Cassidy, who's determined to tear them apart, and the whispers and rumors that follow them across campus. And for Anya, the shadows of her past are always lurking, threatening to pull her back into the silence. Can the bad boy and the broken songbird find a harmony together, or will their combined scars leave them more shattered than before?Complete

The Weight of Silence-- A spin-off of Keeping Promises(COMPLETED)
Some stories begin with fireworks. This one begins with silence. Not the kind that comforts. The kind that echoes through the spaces people leave behind- through empty hallways, unread messages, unanswered calls, and the quiet ache of things unsaid. Rohan Kapoor was a man shaped by that silence. A tenured Stanford professor of ethics and behavioral economics, he believed in rationality, discipline, precision. He lived behind walls built brick by brick from heartbreaks he never let the world see. Grief turned him clinical. Abandonment made him orderly. And love- he left that behind long ago. Lyra Wang never asked for softness. Raised in a small, chaotic immigrant household where love meant sacrifice and ambition meant survival, she learned early that emotion was a luxury. And vulnerability? A danger. A prodigy in statistical economics, Lyra believed in the logic of markets, not the mess of hearts. But life doesn't always follow theory. When Lyra arrives at Stanford for her postdoctoral fellowship, their worlds collide-fierce minds, opposing ideologies, guarded souls bound by buried wounds. What begins as friction shifts into tension-then something neither of them expected. In the hush between words, in late-night coffee and quiet glances, in anger and comfort, longing and restraint- they begin to unravel. The Weight of Silence is a story of two people who speak different languages of pain but somehow understand each other anyway. It's about loss. And healing. About holding on. And letting go. And how, sometimes, the most beautiful things bloom in the silence we've been running from all our lives.Complete
