He didn't recognize her. She never forgot him.
When Aaron Clarke joins a cutting-edge AR/VR firm in Sydney, the last thing he expects is a cold, distant team lead who seems to hate him for no reason. Jasmine Morgan is sharp, composed, and always professional-except when it comes to him.
But when a work trip forces them into close quarters, Aaron sees a different side of her. Kindness peeks through the cracks, and a shared past slowly begins to resurface-a past he doesn't remember, but one that changed her forever.
In a story woven with second chances, unspoken pain, and lost memories, Aaron must piece together the truth before it's too late. Because love doesn't always give you another shot... unless fate decides to intervene.

Ava & Liam: What it means to stay
Ava never expected her last year of high school to start with a stranger changing everything. Quiet, unpredictable, impossible to read, Liam walks into her life like a storm she didn't see coming. He hides behind sarcasm and long sleeves, drifting through school like he's just passing through. Ava tells herself not to care. But then he looks at her. And she sees it, the pain he tries to bury, the secrets he pretends don't exist, the loneliness he carries like a shadow. When they're forced to work together for a class project, Ava slowly discovers the truth he hides from everyone else: Liam doesn't let people close. Because the last time he did... it destroyed him. What begins as awkward teamwork turns into late-night conversations, shared moments, and quiet confessions neither of them meant to say out loud. They're not supposed to fall for each other. They're not even supposed to be friends. But some connections don't care about rules. As Ava gets pulled deeper into Liam's world and the complicated, fragile life he tries so hard to manage, she realizes there's more at stake than just her heart. Because Liam's past is darker than she ever imagined. And the truth waiting for him is something that might change everything. This is a story about two people learning to trust again... about staying when it's easier to run... and about finding light in the one person you never expected. A slow-burn, emotional romance about healing, secrets, and the kind of love that makes you brave.Complete

Between Love & Lies
Bria Smith's life collapsed the moment her father died. Her mother married her boss, and just like that, Bria was thrown into a life of privilege she never wanted-and a college she hadn't earned, courtesy of her new stepfather. She planned to keep her head down at Harvard Business University, but fate had other ideas... Elijah Park. Her step-uncle. Her professor. The man she's not allowed to want-but can't stop thinking about. He's older, sharper, dangerous in a way that feels like a warning and a promise all at once. And he sees right through her-her grief, her anger, her desire. One look and she's undone. One touch and she's his. This isn't just love. It's temptation, secrets, and a choice that could ruin them both. Because some lies keep you safe... and some loves are worth breaking every rule for. ~

Because some hearts bruise without breaking. Some goodbyes are never spoken. And some shadows shine brighter than diamonds.Complete
