Main Characters: Haley ♥, Sam, and Alex!
Margot Miller has always believed life is like a recipe: plan every step, measure every risk, and strive for perfection. But when her grandfather passes unexpectedly, leaving her a jam empire and a larger-than-life legacy to uphold, she is forced to face the flaws in her carefully constructed mindset. With a missing secret ingredient, hundreds of failed jam-making attempts, and the looming pressure of the Stardew Valley Fair drawing closer, Lewis instructs Margot to collaborate with her childhood friend turned high school nemesis, Haley -- a partnership that turns out to be anything but by the book.
As they work to figure out the last ingredient, they begin to uncover cryptic clues and life-changing, long-buried Miller family secrets. Together, they must face the truth that some recipes -- like life, love, and, of course, world-famous jam -- require a little mess to get just right. A story that explores unraveling resentment, suppressed sexuality, and the boundaries of love, "Where the Grape Vines Meet" captures the gut-wrenching coming-of-age experience through all its bitter -- and equally as sweet -- moments.

Main characters: Seb ♥, Sam, and Abigail!
When Callista Kennedy's farm renovation is interrupted by a late-season hurricane, she is given no choice but to stay with Robin while the storm runs its course. It quickly becomes evident that she is not the only one to resent this arrangement; Sebastian - who was exiled from his room to accommodate her stay - finds her just as unbearable as she finds him. Battling both the elements and his cynicism, Callie finds herself having to confront both the past and her history with Sebastian while trying to internally cope with her own struggles. A story that explores a childhood friendships' fallout, proximity, spite, and foolish lust, Liminal Space bridges the gap between too much and not enough to tell a story of pure humanity - and the inevitable connections we make along the way.
