Whispers of Velaria
When Aria Linton, a 28-year-old travel writer, lands in Velaria for what's supposed to be a three-week assignment, she's secretly trying to outrun her own heartbreak and burnout. Her job: write a glowing feature about Velaria's culture and revival after years of isolation. There she meets Luca Moreau, 32, a local architect restoring the island's old quarters. Luca is charming but distant, with a past tied to the very secrets Velaria hides, and a reason to keep people, especially outsiders, at arm's length. Aria's curiosity pulls her closer to both Luca and the city's mysterious history. The more she learns about Velaria's unspoken past, a fire, a forbidden love, and a vanished chapel, the more she realizes her assignment is far more personal than she imagined. What begins as a story about a place becomes a story about healing, love, and the courage to stay when leaving feels safer.
Her Secret Admirer
She was pretty and kind-the quiet girl who never dated, never even cared to try. Relationships meant nothing to her, because her heart already belonged to one person: Alex. She had never met him. Never seen his face. Yet his presence haunted her dreams, his words etched themselves into her soul. He was a mystery... and her obsession. But then everything changed. A new student arrived. Striking. Magnetic. Dangerous in ways she couldn't put into words. For the first time, her heart raced for someone real-someone who wasn't just a shadow in her mind. Now she's caught between two worlds: the faceless Alex who has claimed her heart for years, and the boy who stands before her, awakening something she can't control. But nothing is as it seems. Alex isn't just a dream. And this new boy isn't who he appears to be. To find the truth, she must confront the impossible, uncover secrets buried in darkness, and face a choice that could destroy her. Because love can be a lie. And sometimes... it's deadly.
Sheishin High: Echoes of the Past
For ten years, the Detective Club of Sheishin High has been buried under a shroud of tragedy. Once celebrated as the Silent Six, its members were discredited after trying to expose a string of suspicious deaths. Three were killed. Two vanished. One was expelled. The club was dissolved-and the school was left cursed by silence. Leo Vance, whose family was destroyed by the incident, is determined to resurrect the club and clear their name. But no one dares to join, until Aria Thorne, a transfer student and self-proclaimed mystery fanatic, hears the rumor of the Detective Club and signs up, eager for a real-life case-unaware of the bloodstained legacy she's walking into. Their revival is soon met with a murder that perfectly mirrors one of the Silent Six's unsolved cases. As Leo and Aria pursue the truth, all evidence points toward the traumatized sole survivor of the original club, seemingly enacting a twisted revenge. But Aria begins to suspect this is only the first layer of deception. To uncover the truth behind the tragedy, they must dig into the foundations of Sheishin High itself-where the true killer, the unseen architect of the first massacre, waits to finish the job they started ten years ago.

Season 1 of My Brother's Best Friend ********* Maddie Davis has been in love with her brother's best friend, Cameron Holden, since she was in the sixth grade.

The Unknown Princess
Seventeen-year-old Aria Castellano thought she knew who she was - a scholarship student, a good daughter, a girl with simple dreams and a mother who made the world feel safe. But when her mother dies in a car accident, the life Aria knew unravels overnight. A letter. A name. A father she's never met. Now she's flying across the country to New York - to a mansion with guards at every gate, brothers who don't know what to make of her, and a father still struggling to accept the daughter he didn't know existed. Her stepmother is kind, her new home beautiful... but nothing about it feels right. At St. Augustine's Academy, power hums beneath every smile and secret. The students there were born into legacies - families bound by alliances older than the school itself, until betrayal tore them apart. Those old rivalries still live on in the halls she walks now, and Aria's arrival is stirring them all back to life. One boy in particular seems to hate her most. He's untouchable, cruel in that effortless way only someone raised in power can be. But behind the sharp words and colder eyes is something else - something that pulls her closer even when she knows she shouldn't look twice. As Aria begins to uncover the truth her mother died protecting, she learns that some secrets were buried for a reason... and that even in a world built on bloodlines and betrayal, the most dangerous thing of all might be the way he looks at her.
