Rory Kavanagh has lived in his father's shadow for as long as he can remember. A rugby legend, his father's name is known in every corner of the sport, and the weight of those expectations has always been suffocating for Rory. The pressure to be as great, if not greater, is relentless. But deep down, Rory doesn't want to be defined by his father's legacy. He just wants to play the game for himself, to be free of comparisons.
Bethany Gibson, his childhood friend, has always been there by his side. Growing up together, their parents best friends, they've known each other forever. While Rory's world is filled with pressure and expectations, Bethany's is hidden behind a perfect smile and a bubbly personality. Outwardly, she's confident and the life of the party. But underneath it all, she's struggling with a past she can't seem to escape. A secret she's kept buried from everyone, even Rory.
Their long-standing friendship has always been easy, but lately, something has changed. Spending more time together, Rory begins to realize that Bethany is the only person who truly makes him feel free. With her, he's not the son of a rugby icon. He's just Rory-the boy she's known since childhood. But as their connection deepens, Rory has to face the reality that he's been running from his own fears of living up to his father's legacy. Bethany, too, starts seeing Rory in a new light. Their friendship, born out of years of shared history, slowly transforms into something more. But the closer they get, the more Bethany feels the weight of her own struggles. She's terrified of letting Rory in too far, afraid that once he sees the truth about her, he won't be able to handle it. The last thing she wants is to lose the one person who's always been there for her.

Description of "After Goodbye": In the intricate web of life, some connections are too strong to ever truly fade. Avyaja and Aarav were once inseparable childhood friends, sharing laughter, secrets, and dreams. But something came between them, pulling them apart in ways they couldn't understand. Years passed, and life carried them in different directions. Now, after eight long years, their paths cross once more. Aarav, once the boy she knew, is now an international tennis star, adored by fans and caught in a world far removed from the quiet streets of their childhood. Avyaja, however, has carried a secret within her for a decade-a love that never truly disappeared, even as time and distance worked to erase it. But there's more to Aarav's return than meets the eye. Behind his success and the fame, lies a truth he's hidden, one that could change everything they thought they knew about each other. As they reconnect, both are forced to confront the past they thought they'd left behind. The love Avyaja holds for Aarav has always been undeniable, but is it enough to navigate the dark secrets that threaten to unravel everything? And in the end, can they find their way back to each other, or is this another goodbye they'll never escape? In After Goodbye, the lines between love, regret, and destiny blur, leaving readers questioning: Can time really heal all wounds, or does it simply make the heartache linger longer?
Finding Obsidian
He brushed his lips against my jaw, his dark hair falling over his brow. "Open your eyes," he commanded. "Look at me." I followed his orders and looked into the raven-black depths before me. I saw my entranced gaze reflected in his glaring one. "Tell me what you see." I kept on looking at him, searching for something, anything, that remained of the person he used to be. They say the eyes are the windows to the soul. But his eyes were so dark, so empty . . . "Nothing. I see nothing," I whispered. He smirked, his gaze still on me. He pulled away, leaving me feeling cold. "Exactly. You see nothing - that's because there's nothing there." ** How much can a person change in just three years? Short and full of fiery spirit, Hanna Jordan is a gifted college student who is enrolled in one of the most prestigious culinary programs in the country. She's just returned from three years of study in France and is anxious to reconnect with her longtime friend, Rian Aronhalt. However, when she does finally see him, she's startled to find that he's become an entirely different person. Cold, ill-tempered, and exceptionally attractive, Rian is absolutely nothing like his old self. Worst of all, he claims he doesn't even remember her. Despite their differences, both are haunted by dark memories of the past, which form a poisonous bond between Hanna and Rian that neither can escape from. Can they both heal from the scars time left behind, and find love in the process?Lengkap

But Monica McCaslin didn't think she would ever be one of those people, would ever have one of those moments. Brought up in a small suburb, with everything she could ever ask for, there wasn't much left for her to want. Monica's ordinary life was to go as such- follow her high school sweetheart to college, graduate, get married, have two kids; the cookie cutter life. White picket fence included. What she did not expect was to meet a dark-haired stranger sitting all alone on a park bench, at that very same school she was to attend with said future husband. After a brief conversation, just a handful of words between them, Monica decides to go on a cross-country road trip with him; putting her faith and future in the hands of a stranger. Thinking she'd soon regret her decision and the life she left behind, she realizes she doesn't at all. Free of expectation and a future that she thought was set in stone, she begins to find the woman she was truly meant to be. State by state, with each border they cross, Monica liberates her true self. πΉπ π π β π π β - βπ ππ‘πππ₯π - β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ This is a work of fiction.
