Bailee Arden has always been fast-but when it comes to speaking up, standing out, or falling in love, she's still learning to find her stride. Quiet, talented, and fiercely determined, Bailee's world changes the day she meets Keefe Taylor: the confident, funny runner who sees past her silence and straight into her heart.
As Bailee chases victory through district races, secret hallway meetings, and stolen moments on the track, a powerful bond grows between her and Keefe-one they keep hidden from their curious friends. But when a new coach pushes Bailee beyond her limits and her world starts to unravel, she must find the strength to rise-not just for the sport, but for herself.
From whispered promises under stadium lights to a life built on resilience, love, and running shoes, Running Hearts is a powerful story about finding your voice, holding on to your dreams, and never running alone.

Amber Coleman seems to have it all-popularity, beauty and a promising ballet career-but there's one thing she's hiding: her dream of becoming an author. After her father's passing, she's put her focus on making her mother happy, no matter the cost to herself. When a missed project threatens to ruin all she's worked for, she turns to the last person she wants to ask for help-Noah Rhodes.
Noah has his own struggles, from dealing with his family's high standards to a crumbling reputation as an anti-social student body president. He should be thinking about how to regain the school's approval. Instead, he agrees to tutor the girl he's been inexplicably drawn to from the first day they met.
As they work together, they begin to discover who they are under their facades and uncover a surprising connection. Noah understands her more than anyone ever has. Amber accepts him for who he is. It's a love story in the making. One that inspires Amber to write a story of her own. But with a looming ballet performance, parental expectations, and a mysterious adversary, will their newfound love survive?
