Story Description:
She lost her diary.
He found it.
Cassy never expected her quiet high school life to spiral into chaos with one small mistake-a broken bag and a diary lost in a sea of students. That red notebook held her deepest secrets, her awkward doodles, and worst of all... pages filled with her hopeless crush on Josh Valencia, the campus heartthrob and journalism prodigy two grades above her.
Josh is everything she's not: confident, talented, and always seen with a camera slung around his neck. Cassy? She's just the invisible Grade 10 girl sneaking glances from afar.
But when Josh finds her diary and returns it-with a cryptic sticky note that hints he read it-Cassy's once predictable world suddenly begins to shift.
Did he read about her feelings?
With a mix of awkward encounters, heart-fluttering moments, and kilig-filled chaos, this is the story of a girl who thought she'd only admire from a distance... until fate handed her heart straight to the boy she never dreamed would look back.

In His Eyes
What if the boy you left behind became the man you couldn't resist? Cara Lawson never forgot her childhood best friend, Leo Hart-the sweet, chubby boy with a heart of gold and laughter that lit up her darkest days. They shared everything: late-night talks, secret hideouts, and silent feelings neither of them dared to confess. But when Cara's world turned upside down at fifteen, a sudden move tore them apart without warning... and without goodbye. Years later, Cara walks onto the campus of Ridgewell University, ready for a fresh start-new goals, new friends, and a clean slate. What she doesn't expect is the tall, broad-shouldered stranger with stormy eyes and a grin that makes her heart stumble. He knows her name. He knows her favorite color. He knows how she liked her peanut butter sandwiches in fifth grade. Because he's Leo. But this isn't the boy she left behind. This Leo is confident, charming, and impossibly attractive-no trace of the shy, round-faced kid from her memories. And while Cara struggles to reconcile the past with the present, Leo hasn't forgotten a thing. Not the way she smiled when she was nervous. Not the way it broke him when she left. And certainly not the feelings he buried deep the day she disappeared. As they navigate the twists of university life, old sparks flicker-and new ones ignite. But with past wounds, unspoken truths, and lingering questions between them, can Cara and Leo find their way back to what was never truly lost? Or will fear keep them from saying the words that could change everything? In His Eyes is a heartwarming, slow-burn romance about second chances, rediscovery, and the kind of love that never really fades.Complete
ACE
I looked at her possessively before grabbing her by the nape of her neck and pulling her closer to me, our lips a breath away. "You are mine. Only mine. Understand?" I gritted out and she nodded slowly. "Good. Because I'll fucking kill any man who lays his hand on you. On what's mine." I said and crashed my lips onto hers. I kissed her roughly and possessively, I made her know who she belonged to. And if anyone said otherwise, they'd have to deal with a bullet in their head. * * * Nicholas 'Ace' King - Don of the Italian Mafia and the most feared person around.
