He was chaos. She was sarcasm. Neither of them expected to care.
Fréya "Réya" Thompson is a sharp-tongued music journalist with a grunge aesthetic and zero patience for fame-chasing artists. Joost Klein is a Dutch musician who thrives on chaos and controversy. When her latest article about him goes unexpectedly viral, Joost slides into her DMs - and refuses to leave.
What starts as a hate-fueled professional exchange slowly spirals into something dangerously personal.
Long-distance. Late-night messages. Too much honesty.
This wasn't supposed to feel real.
Written from Réya's POV.
Slow burn. Enemies-ish to something else.

He didn't believe him. Joong disappeared that night and came back as someone else- Colder. Smarter. Unreachable.

Sixteen-year-old Freya Skye has everything the world thinks she wants-fame, fortune, and millions of fans who know every lyric she's ever written.

But after a messy, very public breakup with her longtime boyfriend in Miami, Freya's family makes a fresh start in Los Angeles. To her, it's a chance to hide the cracks behind the perfect image. To everyone else at her new school, she's untouchable. Everyone, except Malachi Barton. Malachi has grown up in LA, surrounded by basketball, family legacy, and his close-knit group of friends. He doesn't have time for celebrity drama-he doesn't even know who Freya is when she shows up in her sleek Range Rover and sends the whole school into a frenzy. To him, she's just the new girl who looks like she's carrying secrets too heavy for someone her age. Freya is used to people loving the idea of her, not the real her. But with Malachi-and his friends, protective Kamri, hilarious MK, fangirl Dara, artistic Malia, stylish Kylie, and theatrical Joshua-she finds something she's never had before: a chance at being normal. A chance to laugh without cameras watching. A chance to be herself. But the past doesn't stay buried for long. Between paparazzi headlines, whispers at school, and the shadow of her ex, Freya has to decide if letting someone in is worth the risk. And Malachi must face what it means to fall for a girl whose world could pull him into the spotlight whether he wants it or not. A love story about healing, trust, and the courage to be seen-not as the world sees you, but as you truly are.Complete

Isabella Rossi isn't looking for anyone. Her life is already full-early mornings at her family's café, late nights lost in paint, and a city that's always too loud, too fast. Then he walks in.
