Noelle Brooks has always been the girl on the sidelines watching others fall in love, waiting for her "time to come," all while battling her own insecurities and craving a connection that feels real. When she decides to break her quiet pattern by sitting next to Elijah Monroe in bio class, she's surprised to find a gentle giant beneath his cool, distant exterior.
---
Elijah Monroe is the embodiment of calm strength - confident, a little guarded, and fiercely protective of the small circle he lets in. Wrestling with anxiety and OCD, he's mastered hiding his vulnerability behind a wall of sarcasm and quiet humor. But when Noelle starts slipping into his carefully ordered world, his defenses begin to crumble in ways neither of them expect.
From awkward first conversations and stolen glances to late-night walks and shared secrets, their friendship unfolds slowly, messy, and imperfect.
Can Noelle and Elijah learn to breathe into each other?

But the purity of that love couldn't withstand the pressure of Ethan's own darkness. Beneath the surface of their perfect union, jealousy and agonizing insecurity curdled every promise. Ethan didn't just love Brooklyn; he tried to possess her. He built their world on manipulation, empty promises, and a suffocating need for control, until the foundations of their fierce love finally gave way. Years later, Ethan is tormented by the ghost of the man he was and the indelible scars he left on the only person who ever truly saw him. He knows there is no forgiveness for the way he drove Brooklyn away, yet he is bound by the desperate, futile hope that he could somehow go back to that snow filled night. The Love That Haunts is a raw, emotional reckoning with the consequences of self-sabotage.
