Prologue
Some bonds begin before memory takes root-silent promises formed in wounds, stolen glances, and shared secrets. For Eliza and Allen, it was always that way. From muddy playgrounds to sleepless exam nights, they had grown up side by side, stitched together by trust deeper than words. Eliza, now a dedicated medical student, carried those childhood memories like a locket tucked close to her heart.
But hearts are unpredictable.
When Theo entered her life-a whirlwind of warmth and wonder-Eliza felt something stir that even years of friendship with Allen had never awakened. For the first time, she found herself torn. Between the comfort of the known and the pull of the unknown. Between loyalty and love.
What happens when your heart chooses someone your soul never expected?
Can the past and present truly coexist without breaking the very bond that once felt unshakable?
Eliza never meant to hurt anyone. But life, love, and choices rarely come without consequence.

Broken Hearts (Fractured Hearts #1)
Brielle Sage: Every beat of my heart is a constant reminder of fragility and uncertainty. I never know if I have enough time to say what I truly feel, to live without hesitation. Elias is my world, but how do you give your heart to someone when you're terrified it might stop before they have the chance of even hold it? Loving him is effortless, but confessing it feels impossible. So, I let myself have these moments of laughing at his ridiculous jokes, feeling safe in his presence, holding onto the quiet spaces where I can pretend that forever is ours. Even if it never can. Elias Gray: Brielle is my best friend. My anchor. My everything. She's sunshine even when she's scared, even when the weight of the unknown presses against her. I see the way she hides her fears, the way she tries to live in the present without acknowledging how fragile her future might be. And I want more than anything to protect her, to keep her safe and to fix what I know I can't fix. But there's something else. A feeling I can't name, something deeper than friendship, something I'm afraid to say aloud. Because what if I realize I love her, only to lose her?Complete
Cross My Heart, Suture Yours: CODE RED (LingOrm)
Prologue "Not all heartbreaks come from betrayal. Some grow from choices made in silence." They were happy once. Truly. Stupidly. Brilliantly happy. After the rivalry, the tension, the guarded hearts-Lingling and Orm had found each other. Two doctors, one heart. They stood in the dawn light outside the hospital, palms pressed, quiet smiles blooming. And for years, they made it work. Lingling soared in internal medicine-panels, journals, awards. Orm, ever proud, filmed her behind the scenes, smitten and steady. They shared shift schedules, socks, even toothbrushes. Fans adored their chemistry-Orm's teasing, Lingling's glares that always ended in a blush. But slowly, life crept in. Lingling picked rounds over date nights, grant proposals over cuddles. She missed anniversaries. Ignored Orm's soft pleas to rest, to breathe, to be there. Not out of malice. Just... neglect. Lingling believed love would hold on its own. But Orm was tired of holding it alone. "I miss us," Orm said once while Lingling typed away. "You never look at me the way you look at your career." Lingling didn't flinch. "My work matters." "And I don't?" Orm whispered. She didn't say no. She said nothing. That silence became a wound. Orm stopped filming at home. Stopped asking. Stopped hoping for a space in a life Lingling was building without her. Until one night, suitcase in hand, Orm stood by the door. "Do you even see me anymore, Ling?" Lingling didn't look up. That was all she needed. She left-no slammed doors, no last plea. Just a note on the fridge: "You chose your calling. I just wish you made room for me in it. - O." Lingling came home late. Read the note under harsh fluorescent light. And for the first time in years, she realized- She'd won every award. But lost her heart. Cross My Heart, Suture Yours: CODE REDComplete
