Some scars are invisible-hidden behind a smile.
Lily Carter is the new girl at Hartley High, a quiet survivor with a perfect smile that hides everything she's desperate to forget. Haunted by a past that won't stay buried and trapped in a home that feels more like a prison, she's mastered the art of being unnoticed. Until Jace Rivera sees her.
He's the school's untouchable bad boy with sharp eyes, a sharper tongue, and a reputation for trouble. But beneath the danger is something else-something just as broken. He doesn't just notice Lily-he sees her. And he won't look away.
As their worlds collide, Lily finds herself pulled into a relationship she never expected-intense, magnetic, and terrifying in its intimacy. But the closer Jace gets, the harder it is for her to keep hiding the truth. About her past. About her pain. About what it means to finally be seen.
Dark, romantic, and deeply emotional, The Darkness Behind Her Eyes is a story of trauma, trust, and the kind of love that doesn't ask for permission.
In a world full of masks, he's the only one who dares to look beneath hers.

Lilly Of The Valley
He was the storm. She was the silence. But even storms bow to the flower that refuses to break. Lilly doesn't speak-not because she can't, but because silence is safer than trust. After surviving years of pain, betrayal, and a mother who chose cruelty over comfort, she's learned to hide in the shadows of her own mind. But when a stranger pulls her out of the darkness and into a world more dangerous than she imagined, Lilly finds herself face-to-face with Jayden Anderson. He's cold, commanding, and feared by everyone. The heir to the Anderson mafia empire-someone who's supposed to destroy people like her. But Jayden sees her. Not just the scars she carries or the quiet strength she wears like armor-but the girl buried underneath it all. When secrets from the past resurface, and betrayal cuts deeper than any blade, Lilly is forced to question everything-including the man she thought would never hurt her. Because in a world of blood and lies, even flowers can be used as weapons.Lengkap

The Weight of Us
Elena Morris has spent her entire life trying not to take up space. Quiet, bookish, and plus-size, she's mastered the art of invisibility at college-especially around guys like Jace Carter, the charming star athlete who leaves a wake of attention wherever he goes. So when Jace ends up in her creative writing class and-worse-asks her to tutor him, Elena braces herself for disaster. But Jace is nothing like she expected. He listens. He shows up. And beneath the swagger is someone surprisingly sincere... and maybe a little broken too. Over long nights in the library, shared stories, and too many vanilla lattes, something real begins to bloom-something that terrifies Elena even as it makes her feel more seen than ever before. One explosive kiss shatters the fragile line between them, and just as they begin to build something honest and beautiful, Elena discovers she's pregnant. What follows is a tender, raw, and deeply emotional journey-through fear, through love, through the ache of learning to believe she's enough. With Jace by her side, unwavering and all-in, Elena begins to find her voice not just in writing... but in life.Lengkap
