Beck, a beautiful and privileged young woman, reflects on her past with a mix of self-awareness, entitlement, and vulnerability. She's always known how to play roles-whether it's the dutiful daughter, the high school queen bee, or the object of desire for classmates and admirers. Her beauty has always been her currency, and she's wielded it to secure attention, favors, and even academic support.
In college, though, Beck meets her match in Jackson-a brilliant, awkward, and socially unaware freshman who doesn't fall at her feet like the others. He's kind, intelligent, and emotionally sincere, which both intrigues and confuses her. Used to being worshipped, Beck finds herself thrown off by Jackson's emotional intelligence, his refusal to be manipulated, and the way he sees through her confident facade.
Their connection unfolds with complexity. Beck is initially drawn to Jackson because of the intrigue surrounding his rumored sexual prowess (shared between girls in her social circle). What she finds instead is something much deeper-someone who treats her like a human being rather than an icon. Jackson isn't the typical college guy; he's nerdy, direct, and wildly intelligent, often using metaphors and logic to explain everything from accounting to emotional dynamics.
Their budding romance is filled with awkward starts, miscommunications, and moments of surprising emotional intimacy. Beck, for the first time, begins to experience love and connection not based on status or seduction, but on respect and vulnerability. As she drops her performative layers, she discovers what it means to be truly seen.

A Beautiful Catastrophe - Book 1
If you're given a chance to live once more, will you take it? Even if... it comes at a cost? A dying woman reminisces on her short life and comes to regret not doing the things she likes - always sacrificing her own happiness for her family. On her deathbed, she whispers her wishes to a friend. "If only I could go back in time, I'll make sure to live my life for my sake and not somebody else's." Little did she know that her impossible wish would come true with the help of a mysterious woman. And in her second chance at life, she meets a certain problematic person... "Kaiden Ma" - a young and handsome genius who is also the richest heir in the East - has a little problem. One - he is way too grumpy; and two - he is mysophobic. With his family pushing him in a relationship, the problem escalated. For how can he possibly be in a relationship if he can't even touch anyone? Due to this, he is forced to look for a suitable "pretend" partner. "Senara Lee. I'd like to offer you a deal." "Hm? A deal? What deal?" "I need a fake girlfriend and you're the only one who's trustworthy enough to assume the position. Be my girlfriend for a year and I'll make one of your books into a movie." "For real?! You bet I'm in! Anything for my babies!" (babies - she's referring to her books, yes, she calls them her babies). And so, their hilarious and catastrophic game begins. Well, at least until the "Guardians of Fate" comes in. What will they do with this romance that wasn't supposed to be? And what is the cost of this new life she was given? 🌸 𝘼 𝘽𝙚𝙖𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙛𝙪𝙡 𝘾𝙖𝙩𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙥𝙝𝙚 𝙎𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨 🌸 ✅ A Beautiful Catastrophe - Book 1 🟨 A Beautiful Catastrophe - Book 2 🟥 A Beautiful Catastrophe - Book 3 - 4Complete
Before You Replied
Digi's summer plan was simple: work at her family's restaurant, hang out with friends, and stay out of trouble before senior year. Then Beck showed up. She didn't know he existed a month ago, and now - after accidentally texting the wrong number - he was everywhere. On the beach she's claimed as her own. In her parent's restaurant. At family events he had no reason to be at. And every time they cross paths, he managed to pull a little more of her world into his. What started as an accidental encounter turns into late-night conversations, shared secrets, and a connection Digi can't explain - or shake, despite how hard she tries. But Beck has his own past, and the closer they get, the more she realises that some people don't just walk into your life. Sometimes, they crash into it and leave nothing the same. This a story of chance meetings, cultural expectations, healing, and the kind of love they never saw coming - but couldn't walk away from. Hi guys, I hope you fall in love with Before You Replied, as much as I did while writing it. If you're into slow burns, men who are soft for their women, badass ladies, forbidden love, culture clashes, and characters who feel a little like people you know and love - then this one's for you.
Somebody Wrote Me This Way
Enemies to lovers (possibly?) Addison has one rule: avoid the main characters. She's perfectly fine being the background extra in her own high school story - hoodie up, chocolate milk in hand, garlic bread as emotional support. No drama. No clichés. Definitely no "mysterious transfer student with tragic eyes" sitting next to her. But then Hikaru Nakamura shows up. And Avery - perfect hair, perfect laugh - joins the same class. And Jackson, the school's resident chaos magnet, suddenly notices her after one clumsy accident in the hallway. Now Addison's worst nightmare is happening: She's being dragged into a love triangle she never auditioned for. Armed only with sarcasm, self-awareness, and a strong refusal to participate in this rom-com nonsense... Addison might just have to survive being the unwilling heroine of a story she never wanted. All she's ever wanted is to be invisible.
