Unintended Touch
Keia didn't move to Miami by accident. She came for a clean break from her past, from the weight of what happened, and from the version of herself she no longer wanted to be. Her best friend is the only familiar thing here, and somehow, that feels like exactly what she needed. She keeps her guard up. She doesn't trust easily. And she definitely doesn't let people get close. So when she meets Landon-confident, sharp, and clearly used to getting reactions, she shuts him out from the start. She keeps her distance-mentally, at least. And the feeling's mutual. They clash. Constantly. But with shared friends and unavoidable plans, avoiding each other isn't really an option. And every time they're forced into the same space, something shifts. It's not romantic. It's not even friendly. But it's getting harder to ignore. And for someone who's spent a long time in survival mode, this might be the first time something actually feels safe.

Enemies to Lovers - Kylia story
Kylie Cantrall and Malia Baker were once inseparable - childhood best friends with matching bracelets and late-night video calls that never ended in goodbyes. But everything changed the day Malia disappeared without a word. No texts. No explanations. Just silence. Two years later, Malia's back - colder, sharper, and with a mysterious edge that Kylie doesn't recognize... or trust. The betrayal still burns in Kylie's chest, and it doesn't help that Malia acts like she never cared in the first place. Tension sparks the moment they reunite. The hallway stares. The biting remarks. The undeniable chemistry. What neither of them wants to admit is that under the bitterness lies something unspoken. Something real. But with old wounds, buried secrets, and their tight-knit friend group caught in the crossfire, Kylie and Malia must decide: will they let the past define them, or risk everything for what might still be burning between them? Enemies by fate. Lovers by choice... if they can survive each other first.Complete

Eventually (kylia)
Kylie's always been the kind of girl who falls too fast and feels too deeply, though ever since a brutal breakup left her traumatized, she's never been the same. Before the breakup, she was all in, a hopeless romantic, loyal to a fault, and crazy in love. She gave everything to someone who promised forever, only to be betrayed. It felt like being kissed on the forehead while a knife was sliding between her ribs. Tender, calculated, and devastatingly personal. The pain wasn't just emotional; it was identity-shattering. This new Kylie's known for two things: wild nights and a heart locked behind sarcasm and tequila. Feelings? Overrated. But everything changes the night her best friend throws a college party and she meets Malia. Malia's a quiet, soft-spoken, clever girl with curly brown hair and eyes that seem to ask all the right questions. That night, they hit it off right away. Maybe it was their chemistry, or maybe it was just the tequila. Though the day after the party goes a bit differently. Kylie does what she always does: flirts, charms, and makes her move. But Malia isn't like the others. She turns Kylie down, gently but firmly, explaining she's not interested in meaningless flings. She wants something real. And the for first time in years, Kylie finds herself wanting to slow down, to dig deeper, and maybe, revert to the old, lover-girl version of herself, or possibly, be the kind of person someone like Malia could fall for. Little does she know, love really does make you crazy. TW: mature language, alcohol, substance abuse, murder, and some other sensitive subjects.Complete
