Before You Replied
Digi's summer plan was simple: work at her family's restaurant, hang out with friends, and stay out of trouble before senior year. Then Beck showed up. She didn't know he existed a month ago, and now - after accidentally texting the wrong number - he was everywhere. On the beach she's claimed as her own. In her parent's restaurant. At family events he had no reason to be at. And every time they cross paths, he managed to pull a little more of her world into his. What started as an accidental encounter turns into late-night conversations, shared secrets, and a connection Digi can't explain - or shake, despite how hard she tries. But Beck has his own past, and the closer they get, the more she realises that some people don't just walk into your life. Sometimes, they crash into it and leave nothing the same. This a story of chance meetings, cultural expectations, healing, and the kind of love they never saw coming - but couldn't walk away from. Hi guys, I hope you fall in love with Before You Replied, as much as I did while writing it. If you're into slow burns, men who are soft for their women, badass ladies, forbidden love, culture clashes, and characters who feel a little like people you know and love - then this one's for you.

Flashes
Robbyn O'Conner has always played by her own rules. She works hard, loves fiercely, and keeps her walls high-especially when it comes to Kooks. Rule number one? Never fall for one. But Rafe Cameron has never been one to follow the rules. Arrogant, reckless, and dangerously charming, he's the last person Robbyn should want. And yet, against her better judgment, she finds herself drawn to the boy who's nothing but trouble wrapped in privilege. What starts as stolen glances and sharp-edged banter quickly spirals into something far more intoxicating-something forbidden. But Robbyn isn't just fighting against her own desires. She has ghosts in her past, demons in the form of a toxic ex who refuses to let go, and a world that's never made space for a Pogue and a Kook to be anything but enemies. When lines blur and tensions rise, Robbyn must decide: does she let Rafe in, risking everything she's ever believed in, or does she walk away before their fire burns them both alive? A story of love, danger, and defying expectations, No Rules in Love is a gripping, enemies-to-lovers romance where loyalty is tested, desire is undeniable, and sometimes the person you shouldn't want is the only one who truly sees you.
