Valentine's death leaves her daughters Sabrina and Maria with unanswered questions - why had she kept them separated their whole lives? If not for fate's intervention, they might not have ever found each other. For Maria, a heavy burden is lifted with her mother's passing. Then there's that nagging suspicion that maybe Valentine "found" her because she had been ill. Why had she come looking for Maria when the one she had kept by her side was Sabrina? There were far too many questions that the dead refused to answer. That is until she came upon her mother's journals.
They were the only possessions she had when she voluntarily entered the long-term care facility. She had asked them to be put into storage. Yet another secret she had kept from Maria, this long-term care facility where she lived and not the apartment they shared. If she hadn't lied, maybe she wouldn't have been desperate to find a roommate. And she never would have met Sabrina or Tony.
Valentine's journal sends Sabrina back to the Davenport brothers as she desperately searches for the truth behind her daughter's death. Maria finally has the answer to why Valentine abandoned her and then came back. Except the truth is uglier than she could have imagined. It startles and frightens her. Then she comes face to face with her niece, Sabrina's daughter, and starts to understand that some secrets and lies are born out of a desperate need to protect the ones we love.

Tomorrow's Blues
~"You don't- you don't need me." I stared in shock. This was the first shred of emotion he'd shown since he started avoiding me, and I had no idea how to respond. What was I supposed to say to something like that? So I let myself be honest, and I told him exactly how I felt. "But I do." I almost choked on my words. "I do need you. I can't talk to anybody else. I can't eat. I can't sleep. And I know you know what that's like."~ Liliana is now an orphan. Just 17 years old, she lost her parents in a boating accident and now she must live with her best friend, her best friend's parents and her best friend's brother, Joseph. She struggles through her grief as well as dealing with the mysterious but obnoxious Joseph, and it soon comes to light that he isn't the only one around her keeping secrets. Living under the same roof, tensions arise, and Liliana begins to discover that a perfect family may not be so perfect after all." If you like a good old slowburn, enemies (ish) to lovers, bonding over tragic backstories type beat then this story is for you, I promise :) #1 in #bestfriendsbrother (didn't note the exact date - some time in January 2021) #1 in #dealing with death (11/04/21) amazing cover by @sixty6ix !!Complet

"My mother had warned me about strangers." I looked at her in confusion. "Okay, so?" "So what's your name?" She asked as if a stranger won't be able to say a fake name at all. Smart little kid. "Levi." She nodded. "Levi, hmm." "Now, can we get going, stranger kid?" "Okay," she said and got on my bike. It seemed like she didn't hear what I had called her. I started the bike and rode off.

It does have around 40 chapters so it might not seem like it. But trust me that it is.] ||Full Disclosure|| I started the book in the end of 8th grade so it needs MAJOR editing. It also does have Sexual Chapters, as well as people of the same sex being together, murder, brutally torture talk of rape and sexual harassment. So if you do not wish to read things like that then this unfortunately isn't the book for you. ||You Have Been Warned|| First book in the Heart series. •Do Not Copy This Book In Anyway•Complet

But the world's twisted, right? What if...I say, she has to relive all her past memories--that nasty first kiss, to be labelled a troublemaker, to be accused of things she could never imagine ever doing? Sadly, this is not her decision to make. A day after her graduation, she wakes up to face her senior year again. She knows that she had completed her education, she spends hours yelling about it on everyone's face. But at the end, she has to go to college again with one question--how does she even return back in time? But this time, all she has to do is grapple with a recurring dream, try to eliminate all the dark spots in her senior year and find out the reason of this travel back in time. Yet one thing's for sure, she hasn't travelled back in time. I give you my word. I know. There are numerous black-outs, sudden falls, chills, drama and a whole different system of cheating, drugs, revenge and a famous Queen sister, who is, mysteriously, now not famous at all.
