Her heart is broken.
His is off-limits.
Sometimes love is a lesson in letting go.
University senior Tessa Givens shuffles through the day to day grind of existence as if it's an obligation rather than her chance to live her best life. While her fellow students embrace their freedom and youth, Tessa feels nothing but crushing guilt for the mistake that led to a tragedy she can't bring herself to speak of.
Jaxon Smith, lead singer of the local band, isn't afraid to pour his heart and soul into every performance, especially because it's what he needs. On the outside, he's a sexy, smart, charming rock god, but inside, and behind closed doors, he's fighting more than one battle.
As Tess stands among the admiring crowd, mesmerized by the man on stage who unknowingly started thawing her frozen heart, she starts to see what no one else can. And when fate conspires to push Jax into Tess's tiny, closed-off world, they discover they have more in common than their undeniable and dangerous attraction to each other.
It'd be so easy to love a man like Jax, flaws and all, but with what Tess has already been through, could she survive another fall? It'd be better, easier to keep him friend-zoned, right?
My Butterflies is a bittersweet story of desire, longing, and redemption, and the first novel in the "Butterflies" series.

My Controversial Secret
COMPLETED 💯 His eyes were serpent blue. Dark and poisonous. A meaning hid behind his gaze when he saw me for the first time. I've heard about sweet butterflies. I have even felt some but with him.

An only meal. How do I continue spending my summer in that house knowing he's in the same roof under me?

Venturously Yours,
Eliot Gerard has always found her visits to her twin sister Elixir's farm in the lush, sun-drenched countryside of Germany to be more of a duty than a joy. Their relationship has always been fraught with tension-two halves of the same whole who could never seem to click. Every visit was a reminder of the distance between them, both emotional and physical. She knew exactly what to expect... until she didn't. This time, something is different. A stranger. Octavius Weber. A tall, striking German man with a magnetic charm, someone she's never met on any of her previous visits. He seems to materialize out of thin air, his presence both a mystery and a magnet. And he's undeniably intrigued by her-something in his eyes burns with curiosity, and she can't help but wonder what's behind it. For Octavius, meeting Eliot is an unexpected shock. Elixir's enigmatic twin sister, the one he's heard about but never imagined existed, stands before him, stirring a mix of intrigue and something more dangerous. But there's a problem-he's always harbored feelings for Elixir, feelings that are unresolved and tangled with loyalty. He can't touch Eliot, can't cross that line, not when she's the mirror image of the woman he's tried to forget. Caught in a vortex of burning desire and temptation, both are trapped by forces they can't control. A pull so fierce, so undeniable, that it threatens to betray the very foundation of all their relationships. The question is no longer if they will fall-it's how deep the fall will be, and whether they can ever escape the tangled web they've woven before it consumes them both.
