[ONC 2025] Two college roommates search the city looking for a hidden Taylor Swift concert while using a glitchy Spotify playlist as their guide.
•••
Draya, a struggling college student, is desperate to pay her tuition before the final deadline. With no other options, she and her best friend, Emily--her outspoken, culturally aware roommate who shares her love for Taylor Swift--head to a pawn shop to sell Draya's rare Taylor Swift collectible, worth over a thousand dollars. But their hopes are crushed when the shop owner offers little to nothing.
Just as disappointment sets in, a radio announcement reveals a secret Taylor Swift concert hidden somewhere in Washington, D.C. At that moment, Jae-won, a cute guy from their college, walks in and accidentally leaves his phone behind. Draya notices too late, but when she picks it up, she finds an open Spotify playlist filled with a Taylor Swift song.
As Draya and Emily listen, they realize the playlist might be more than just music--it could be a guide to the hidden concert. With no tickets, little money, and only song lyrics as their clues, they go on a thrilling race across the city, chasing one lyric after another. But will following the music lead them to Taylor Swift, the cute guy-and the chance to change Draya's future?

Keeping Secrets
Peyton has always been the girl who flies under the radar-ordinary, average, never one to stand out. But that all changes on her first day of college when she's struck by a football and knocked to the ground in front of the football team, and even worse-her over-the-top, dramatic mother. The one good thing to come from the humiliating event: she meets Max, the campus' charming and popular football star. Their unlikely friendship pulls her into a world she's never known, giving her all-access to exclusive parties and the popular crowd. But it also sparks jealousy and draws the kind of attention she never asked for. Things get even more complicated when Peyton falls for Beau, the irresistible guitarist of Trudge Lite, the up-and-coming band everyone's talking about. She knows he's the ultimate heartbreaker and tries to keep things casual. Caught between wanting what she shouldn't, navigating shifting friendships, and keeping secrets that grow heavier by the day, Peyton soon realizes that some lines aren't so easy to draw, let alone keep. Trying to balance it all, Peyton and Max keep up careful charades, not only from those around them but also from each other. Soon they'll learn that secrets have a way of unraveling, no matter how carefully they're guarded. Peyton will have to decide what and who she's willing to risk it all for.Complete

Every Second [COMPLETED]
"Honestly one of the best books I've read" - mywayforme "I'll take it from here," Sebastian said. "Ms. Dawson, I re-watched your interlude performance from Saturday and I was impressed with your drumming ability. I'm about to start work on my next album. I'm putting together a creative team to develop how the album will sound and I want to extend an invitation to you." Startled by the offer, Amelia's mind went blank. All words slipped from her brain, her thoughts becoming a jumbled mess pooled at her feet. "Ms. Dawson?" Sebastian prompted. Amelia blinked. Amelia didn't realize when she said yes to a once in a life time opportunity that it would jump start her career and help her find the one thing she hadn't been looking for. "Seriously, this book is not at all a cliche. It is very mature and fun to read and no teenage drama which was a huge plus. This book is amazing and was definitely worth reading!!" - LiveYourMoment "I honestly love your book.. It was such a. Great story!!!!" - vanshika_pgt "One word AMAZING!" - mortelinstruments "I LOVED THIS STORY. I read it almost in a day and don't regret it a single moment.

DAYLIGHT - A Tayvis-inspired love story
In a billionaire superstar's world, where genuine connections must be untangled from the brightness of spotlights and the shadows of fame, Taylor's heart was guarded stronger than ever, yet brimming with light and kindness, but also quiet sadness -like a summer meadow under a sky full of stars, like midnight rain drenching the earth. Meanwhile, Travis' heart was open and steady - like a quiet ocean of warmth, unshaken by storms, like sunshine reflecting on a clear, blue ocean. It was the kind of love she hadn't dared to trust, until now. Their first connection - a bold, slightly silly gesture involving a friendship bracelet with his phone number woven into the beads - was sweeter than fiction, charming and just a little awkward. Though it never reached her that night, his attempt to get her attention marked the start of something extraordinary, neither of them would have expected. Like ever. Fate's invisible strings pulled them closer, unraveling the barriers between their worlds. Love bloomed softly at first, like the golden rays of dawn peeking through the night, until it shone with the golden promise of something lasting - like daylight -, and suddenly everything had changed. But the road to daylight wasn't without its shadows. Fame, fear, and the weight of two very different worlds stood between them. Yet with every step, love found its way, glowing brighter than they'd ever dreamed. But in a world of spotlighted chaos and hidden fears, will this love be enough to light up their way? ***** WARNING: My stories are cheesy, dramatic, and made out of romance. I love exploring how people get to know each other and fall in love (and this will take a while!), I adore the shipping, the journey to connection, and the way characters interact, including all the nuances of their relationships and the smut - everything about it! If that's not your cup of tea, then "DAYLIGHT" might not be for you.
