Ardelle Everhart was never the type to cause trouble-well, not the kind that gets caught. At Merlyn Academy, the prestigious girls-only school wrapped in ivy and tradition, she's known as a bright student with a kind heart, a rebellious streak, and a close circle of friends who'd follow her anywhere.
But one night, curiosity pulls her to the abandoned clocktower-a place sealed off for years, swallowed by silence and shadow.
What she finds inside isn't just a piece of the school's buried past...
It's someone-a man who shouldn't exist within Merlyn's walls.
He's wounded, hiding, and clearly carrying secrets darker than the halls of the academy. And against every rule she's ever known, Ardelle helps him. Protects him. Falls for him.
But the deeper she digs, the more dangerous things become.
Because the clocktower holds more than forgotten memories-it holds a secret someone is willing to kill for.
Now, Ardelle has placed herself, her best friends, and the boy who's stolen her heart in the middle of something far bigger than they understand.
And one mistake may cost them everything.

Find A Way To My Heart - Book 1 ✔️
It has been two years since Cassalia Anderson and Ben Mills' worlds first collided-two years since Ben stepped into her life, effortless and unforgettable, woven into her world through Paul, the one person who has always been more brother than best friend. Two years of stolen glances. Almost-moments. Unspoken feelings. For two years, Cassy has fought it. Buried it. Denied it. She has convinced herself, again and again-that it means nothing. That it has to mean nothing. She clings to that belief like a rule she refuses to break. Because she has never been one to gamble with her heart, not after everything she has lost, not after the scars that were carved into her. But no matter how deeply she buries it, the truth linger, quiet, relentless...a slow-burning ache she can never quite extinguish. And then, just as Ben finally confesses his feelings for her, everything she has spent two years holding back begins to unravel. For the first time, she allows herself to believe...maybe... maybe he has always felt it too. And then-everything changes. Because Ben isn't the only one who can unravel her world. Blake Handerson arrives like a storm she never sees coming, intense, complicated, and impossible to ignore. Where Ben feels like history, something steady and unfinished, Blake feels like chaos...like risk...like everything she has sworn to avoid. Now, caught between the love she has spent years denying and the one she never expects, Cassy is forced to confront the one thing she has tried so hard to control: Her heart. Because love is never simple. Trust is never guaranteed. And betrayal...never comes from where you expect. And this time-choosing wrong might cost her everything. 🤍 "Once you turn the first page, there's no turning back."Lengkap
Echoes of Rejection: Learning to Love Again
Fifty-one rejections. Fifty-one times my heart was broken, including the girl I thought I'd never stop loving. After that, I swore I'd never fall for anyone again. Love became a game I refused to play - every smile, every kind gesture from a girl felt like a trap. Years passed. College came. I buried myself in studies, friends, and distractions, building walls so high no one could reach me. Until she appeared. Aya. Gentle, patient, and fearless in ways I hadn't known existed. She didn't chase me, didn't push. She simply stayed - quietly, persistently, until I realized the walls I'd built were trembling. But trust doesn't come easy. Fear lingers. Past heartbreaks echo. Can I let myself be vulnerable again? Or will my own walls keep me from the love I've always wanted? A slow-burn story of heartbreak, self-discovery, and the courage it takes to let someone in - even when you've sworn you never will.
Secretly Falling (Interracial)
Ella built her life out of control and caution- every late night study session, every perfectly planned move was a brick in the wall protecting her heart. Love was never part of the equation. It was chaos, and chaos was the one thing she refused to let in. Then came Elias- quiet confidence, steady hands, and a gaze that saw straight through her defenses. He didn't just walk into her life; he unraveled it, one heartbeat at a time. Behind her ambition, Ella carried secrets- the kind that still haunted her when the world went silent. A broken home. A heart that learned to flinch before it ever learned to trust. Now Elias is offering her something terrifyingly beautiful- a chance at love that feels too real to be safe. But to take it, she'll have to do the one thing she hasn't done in a long time: let someone in. And that might be the bravest- or the most dangerous- decision of her life.

Almost Love
They say your first love is never really your last. It's the one that teaches you how much your heart can hold-and how easily it can break. It's the feeling you never expect but somehow always remember. It doesn't come wrapped in perfection. In fact, it's often messy. Loud. Complicated. Full of silent stares across classrooms and text messages that say "goodnight" when you really mean "don't leave." This is not a love story with a fairytale ending. This is a story about two teenagers who didn't know how to love yet-but tried anyway. About a girl who had just transferred to a new school, carrying quiet sadness in her eyes. About a boy who joked too much, talked too loud, and hid his softness under layers of laughter and chaos. It's about the teasing. The almosts. The missed chances. The apologies that came too late. The good days that felt like forever-and the bad ones that felt like drowning. Most of all, it's about that stage in your life when you love with everything, even when you don't know what love is yet. This is the story of Adriana and Liam. Of how they found each other. How they lost each other. And how sometimes, loving someone first... doesn't mean loving them forever.Lengkap
