"Some love stories begin in silence. Some get buried in floorboards. Some wait patiently to be read by someone who will believe them."
It's summer break and seventeen year old Elena White is at her recently late aunt's beach house in Beaufort, Carteret County, North Carolina. While cleaning out the attic, she finds a hidden tin box stored beneath the floorboards that are dated 1984, signed off by just the letter, "M" to a mysterious girl named Odette. Elena becomes obsessed with this story that never got an ending and gets help from a soft-spoken girl named Ivy, a local girl who volunteers at the city library and is obsessed with anything vintage and is Elena's old childhood friend.
As they retrace the clues to find out what happened to the girls from the letters, Elena and Ivy form their own delicate bond. The more they uncover the past, the more it mirrors their present, especially when Elena realizes her family might have played a part in keeping that old love story hidden.

Halfway Home
Francesca Grey thought she'd finally escaped the perfect little town that never really knew her. Three years in Los Angeles taught her how to breathe again - how to be invisible, free, and entirely her own. But when an invitation arrives for her father's wedding - to a twenty-one-year-old woman she's never met - Frankie finds herself driving back toward the life she swore she'd left behind. What she doesn't expect is for the return to stir everything she thought she'd buried - memories of her mother, the weight of who she used to be, and the quiet ache of belonging she's never quite found. And then there's her. Someone unexpected. Someone who sees her in the way the town never could - not as who she was, but who she might still become. In a town where every face remembers her past, Frankie must decide whether home is a place she escaped... or a person she's just beginning to know.
Ms Chambers
A slow-burn WLW dark romance exploring the blurred lines between power, desire, and identity. When Naomi Bennett returns from a year abroad, she's ready to start fresh - new course, new friends, new version of herself. Psychology was never part of the plan, but it's hers now... even if her parents still wish she'd studied law instead. Then comes Ms Chambers. Beautiful. Unreadable. Dangerous in ways Naomi can't quite put into words. A woman who owns every room she walks into - including the lecture hall. Naomi doesn't like her. She's too confident. Too composed. Too... something. But for someone she supposedly can't stand, Ms Chambers is increasingly hard to ignore. The tension is quiet, precise - threaded through loaded glances and careful silences. It's just in Naomi's head. Isn't it? As boundaries blur and obsession simmers beneath the surface, Naomi begins to question everything - what she wants, what she knows, and who she really is beneath the version of herself she's always performed. Because some lessons don't stay in the classroom. ⚠️ Content / Trigger Warnings: (Please avoid reading if any of the following may affect you.)

Saying Goodbye
Seventeen-year-old Elena knows she's running out of time. With a brain tumor stealing her strength and her future, her parents move her to a quiet farmhouse in the woods, hoping for peace in her final months. But Elena doesn't expect the house to hold a secret-one that will change everything. In the attic, among boxes of forgotten records and dust, Elena discovers Ethan: a boy her age, with messy blonde hair, a crooked smile, and eyes that see right through her. Ethan is a ghost, bound to the house where his own life ended years ago. At first, Elena wonders if he's only a hallucination-a cruel trick of her dying brain. But Ethan is real, as real as the warmth of his hand on hers, the sound of his laughter, and the way her heart stirs when he looks at her. As her body weakens, Elena finds herself spending her days with Ethan, hiding from her grieving parents to linger in the attic with the boy who makes her feel alive again. Together, they share music, laughter, secrets, and the fragile beauty of a love that shouldn't exist. But time is different now. Elena's life as she knew it is gone, and what waits ahead is uncertain. As she slips further from the world she once belonged to, she begins to accept that her journey isn't ending-it's changing. And maybe, just maybe, she and Ethan aren't as lost as they thought.Complete

Every Time You Looked Away
Scarlet Rogers never believed in second chances... not for love, and certainly not for the man who once broke her heart like it meant nothing. When her ex returns to their friend circle with a new girl on his arm and that same smirk on his face, Scarlet does the unthinkable. She kisses Asher Ellesmere. Quiet, unreadable Asher. The man who sketches the world in silence, speaks in shadows, and watches everything like it's a story worth telling. Their lips meet under the salty breeze of a beach bonfire, and just like that, a lie is born. They'll pretend. For a month-long holiday soaked in sun and wine, laughter and late-night swims, they'll hold hands, share blankets, and trade glances meant to burn. But somewhere between pretending to smile and actually meaning it, between stolen kisses meant for show and the soft way his fingers brush hers when no one's looking, Scarlet begins to wonder... What if this lie feels more like home than the truth ever did? As the days stretch and the waves keep time, hearts tangle in quiet moments. And by the time the ex starts to notice... Scarlet's not sure she even cares. Because Asher...soft-spoken Asher, who never asked her to fake anything...is starting to feel like the one thing she never knew she needed.Complete
