When Hana Takahashi returns to her hometown for summer break, she never expects to find her childhood best friend, Ren Sakamoto, running a cozy café. Once her protector and secret-keeper, Ren is now older, quieter, and entirely different-yet somehow still the same.
As she spends her mornings at Ever After Café, sipping lattes and teasing Ren like old times, buried feelings start to resurface. But with Hana set to leave at summer's end and Ren tied to his café, they must decide-will this be just a fleeting season, or is love worth brewing into something more?
A sweet, nostalgic childhood-friends-to-lovers romance filled with coffee, summer warmth, and the magic of rekindled love.

The words beneath our notes
He was the boy who knew her heart before she did. Now he might not live long enough to hold it again. Paisley Park has always kept her heart guarded - especially when it comes to Luca Miller. He was her best friend, her almost-everything... until he left without saying goodbye. Now he's back, but not with apologies. This time, it's with a diagnosis. And a countdown. Luca wasn't supposed to need saving. But with post-it notes tucked into lockers, midnight confessions, and the kind of love that still lingers between glances, Paisley finds herself pulled into something deeper - scarier - than she ever expected. High school halls echo with rumors. The rink becomes a battlefield of memories. And out on the quiet stretch of his family's ranch, where the stars seem just a little closer, everything starts to unravel - and rebuild. Loving him might be the bravest thing she's ever done. Losing him might be the end of everything. A stunning, emotional friends-to-lovers romance about first love, second chances, and finding hope in the middle of heartbreak. For fans of Twisted Lies, Icebreaker, and every girl who ever fell for the boy she thought she lost.

The Stillness Between Two Hearts
𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑆𝑡𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑛𝑒𝑠𝑠 𝐵𝑒𝑡𝑤𝑒𝑒𝑛 𝑇𝑤𝑜 𝐻𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑠 Kai lives like the world doesn't touch him-late nights, forgotten classes, and memories he doesn't talk about. When his mother forces him to start visiting his dying grandmother in the hospital every weekend, he doesn't expect much to change. Until he meets Mira. Room-bound and quietly brave, Mira is a girl who's lived more years inside hospital walls than out. She writes poems she never reads aloud and dreams of rooftops she might never reach. She's fighting a battle she rarely speaks of-and she stays, while everyone else leaves. In the stillness between IV drips and heart monitors, two strangers find a rhythm of their own. As Mira's condition worsens and Kai's grief deepens, they cling to starlit secrets, shared music, and the fragile beauty of a connection they never saw coming. Some love stories are built on forever. Theirs begins in borrowed time.Complete
