Caelus never expected much from the world-just the usual: disappointment, neglect, and a roof that didn't leak too much. But when Trovi arrived at St. Maclaire orphanage, fierce and quiet with a heart full of secrets, everything changed. Suddenly, the boy they called unlovable had a bedroom of his own, and a reason to care.
Alan, eleven, is all soft silences and trembling hands-rescued from a past that still lingers in his bones. He doesn't speak much, but his eyes cling to safety like a lifeline. And somehow, in Trovi's quiet strength and Caelus's growing warmth, he finds something he never had: belonging.
But even the strongest trees have cracked roots. When Trovi's own past comes roaring back, threatening to tear down the fragile sanctuary she's built, Caelus and Alan must decide-do they run again, or hold fast to the family they've finally found?
Welcome to the House of Roots.

What If I Was Nothing?
Hannah and Ryan once believed love meant being everything to each other. But somewhere between unanswered calls, quiet dinners, and promises that became too heavy to carry, their relationship began to change. Ryan has spent years trying to protect Hannah from every fear, every mistake, and every moment of pain. Hannah has spent just as long pretending she is fine so he will stop trying to save her. They still love each other, but love has become tangled with guilt, dependence, and the fear of who they might be apart. When one broken promise brings everything they have avoided to the surface, they are forced to confront the question neither of them is ready to answer: What if losing the person you love does not make you nothing? A bittersweet story about love, identity, letting go, and learning that sometimes two people must fall apart before they can become whole.Complete
Bed of Lies
They broke her trust. They broke his mind. Now the past is back-and this time, it wants blood. Victoria learned early how to survive in silence. Grief became her shadow. Guilt, her constant companion. Because if she had died that night instead of her mother... maybe everything would have been different. But the past doesn't stay buried, and when it drags her back into a world she barely escaped, silence won't save her anymore. Xavier learned how to disappear behind scars, rage, and the monster his past made him. A man shaped by violence, and driven by retribution. Victoria was everything he should avoid- soft yet unyielding, broken but still standing. She had the kind of pain that mirrored his own. She saw too much, pushed too far and worst of all, she made him remember something he buried a long time ago. He hated it. Hated her. Because she made him feel. What exists between them isn't gentle. It isn't safe or healing. It destroys. And when the truth comes for them both, they'll have to decide: Run. Burn. Or destroy everything in their path.Complete
