Ivy Marks thought her study-abroad semester in England would be all about coursework, café-hopping, and chasing historical footnotes-not navigating the echoing halls of Castle Howard... or the magnetic pull of Theo, the guarded boy who lives there.
Between weekend train rides, candlelit archives, and whispered secrets behind ancient walls, Ivy finds herself caught in something far deeper than a cultural experience. Theo isn't just charming-he's part of a centuries-old legacy, and his family's estate holds more than marble staircases and oil portraits. It holds responsibility. Mystery. And maybe, a new beginning.
But just as Ivy starts to imagine a life beyond the pages of her beloved books, Brody Lennox-the ex who once knew her better than anyone-shows up in England with perfect timing and all the wrong intentions. He still calls her Ives. And he still gets under her skin.
Now Ivy has to decide what kind of story she wants to write for herself: one rooted in safety and memory, or one that asks her to leap headfirst into the unknown, all with the advice from her trusty best friend Hayley Ryan.

"That's done" I say after about an hour and a satisfied smile before capping my pen shut and taking my perfume and spraying it on my letter. "This is one heck of a love letter" "Love letter?" Dad asks from the entry way looking at me with a confused face "Who would give you one" he snorts out making me roll my eyes "You don't know dad" I say and get up and stretch my back "I'm very popular in school" "Yeah sure" dad says and starts laughing "Among like four girls" Started:- 4th March 2024 Ended:- 28th July 2024

Addicted (GxG)
Briar felt her world crumbling as her father was offered a job in the States, promising double the salary and benefits that would greatly help the family. But none of that changed the fact that Briar would be leaving her life in London behind-her friends, family, and all the memories. Briar was the typical teacher's pet-never had a detention, always turned in homework on time, and never talked back. But that didn't win her any popularity in high school, and now, she dreaded making new friends at a new school. Arden was the complete opposite-having dropped out of high school years ago, she had terrible attendance, was always late, and did sloppy work despite being fairly smart. She never put in the effort and was constantly causing trouble. If she hadn't left on her own, she likely would've been expelled. When their paths cross at a party one night, Briar, who's never had a drop of alcohol or met anyone as reckless as Arden, finds herself thrown into a world she's never known. Arden, with her wild, self-centered attitude, challenges everything Briar thought she knew about life, leaving her conflicted and unsure of what to do next.

Between Love & Lies
Bria Smith's life collapsed the moment her father died. Her mother married her boss, and just like that, Bria was thrown into a life of privilege she never wanted-and a college she hadn't earned, courtesy of her new stepfather. She planned to keep her head down at Harvard Business University, but fate had other ideas... Elijah Park. Her step-uncle. Her professor. The man she's not allowed to want-but can't stop thinking about. He's older, sharper, dangerous in a way that feels like a warning and a promise all at once. And he sees right through her-her grief, her anger, her desire. One look and she's undone. One touch and she's his. This isn't just love. It's temptation, secrets, and a choice that could ruin them both. Because some lies keep you safe... and some loves are worth breaking every rule for. ~
Crashing Into YOU
Brielle Stone (19) Freshman communications major at UCLA. A mix of chaos and charm. Streetwear, crop tops, hoodies, and heels. She works out religiously, the gym is her therapy, the one place she feels in control. Behind the confident smile and smoky eyeliner is a girl still learning how to breathe. Her parents have always decided everything for her : her grades, her friends, her image. The rebellion came late, but it came loud. Smoking. Parties. People she never texts back. Freedom is her quiet revenge. She wants to be a social media manager : something that's hers, something creative, something free. She's got confidence that fills a room; baggy cargos one day, tiny black dress the next. Hiphop playlists, lip gloss, and gym sessions are her therapy. She's not soft, not easy to impress, and not about to fall for a guy like Asher... or so she tells herself. Asher Kane (20) Second-year business major and UCLA's soccer star. He's the kind of guy who walks into a room and people notice, not because he tries, but because he just owns it. He's 6'1, athletic, with that casual designer look, chains, crisp shirts, and sneakers worth more than some cars. He vapes between classes, drinks to forget his father's expectations, and smokes when the pressure builds. Soccer is his escape, his one rebellion against the life planned for him: taking over the family's international business empire. Soccer is his life... until Brielle starts to mess with his focus in ways he didn't expect. Everyone thinks he's the confident, flirtatious bad boy. But he's just trying to hold himself together.
