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.

Love, Aria
Long-distance relationships are often met with rolling of the eyes and the sympathetic "Hope it works out!" response. Yet after seeing her older brother Connor make it work with his long-time girlfriend, Aria Hall thought that she too could make it. Brenden Sarth didn't understand what Aria did. He didn't know how to make it work. And he screwed it up. For both of them. Now, he'll do everything he can to win Aria back, but he might not be enough. And when you live 3,000 miles apart, it's hard to force someone to talk to you. Written completely in text messages, social media posts, and letters between two ex-lovers, "Love, Aria" takes the dynamic of a long-distance relationship from "Dear Sydney" and brings it to a new level of depth and intrigue. Using screenshots and emotional letters, this story, set two years after the end of "Dear Sydney", spins a tale of heartbreak, denial, and ultimately, love. **Although "Love, Aria" is a spin-off from my multimedia novel "Dear Sydney", it can easily be read as a stand-alone book, so don't let the fact that a book came before it deter you from reading!** First chapter uploaded on September 4th, 2016 Highest Rank: #100 in Romance on 4/15/17Complete

"Keefe. Even if I hadn't been unmatchable, even if Fitz and I had been on each other's match lists, I need you to know that eventually, it still would have been you." -Excerpt from "Triumphant" All she knew was that this time, she and Keefe were scared and broken together. This time, it wasn't just one comforting the other. This time, they had to draw strength from each other and simply be glad they weren't going through it alone. -Excerpt from "Ro(part 2)" And then, he was kissing her. And everything that had happened between them, all of the near misses, all of the heartache, every memory they shared--the good and the bad--was replaying in both of their minds as they shared this one perfect kiss. -Excerpt from "Ro(part 5)" "I learned that day that Fitz may have filled your head, but I was in your heart... I didn't know if you'd ever make the connection, but knowing I was in your heart kept me going. Because Sophie, for me-even back then-it was all you. You filled my head and my heart. You still do. And you always will." -Excerpt from "Head vs Heart" All headcanon. All characters and settings belong to Shannon Messenger.Complete
