The Space Between Us
Some distances aren't measured in miles - they're measured in betrayal, silence and the lies we thought were love.
Daniela Carter-Vargas has lived always under someone else's shadow, shaped by her mother's past, her father's silence and a childhood of broken promises. When she finally escapes, though, she isn't just running from home, but also from the ache that taught her that love always has a price.
At her new school, she's invisible - until Silvan Graves, the last person she expects, begins pulling her into the light with shameless flirting, relentless teasing, and a kindness she doesn't quite trust. Their relationship is unlikely, visceral and slightly terrifying.
But just as Daniela is starting to breathe again, old wounds reopen. Elin, the cruel queen, is unprepared to let her have peace, and Colby - the first person who ever made her feel wanted - comes back with a betrayal so sharp it could unravel her all over again."
In a world where loyalty is a fragile band to hold, and people leave, the question is whether Daniela has the courage to stay for herself, and for the boy who never stopped choosing her.
Stephanie Cruz swore she was done with first loves - especially the kind that leave scars you can't see.
Years ago, Kevin Alverez was her best friend, her favorite person, and the boy who taught her how to skate.
Until fame, hockey, and one heartbreak later... he wasn't hers anymore.
Now, he's back - older, colder, and still the same boy who can make her heart race just by saying her name.
But Stephanie's not the same girl he left behind.
She's learned to build walls. He's learned how to play to the crowd.
And just when she starts to let him back in, his past - in the form of his ex, Amber Lee - comes crashing into their present.
Between family pressures, old wounds, and a love that refuses to die, Stephanie must decide:
Should she protect her heart again... or risk it all for the boy who's always been her forever?
Because sometimes, the hardest battles aren't on the ice - they're the ones you fight for love.
