The Daisy Effect
Essa Harmony Argana's senior year plan was supposed to be simple: survive algebra without crying, dodge her mom's daily TED Talks about straight A+ grades, and make sure her childhood best friend Raymar didn't blow up the TLE canteen. That was it. Clean. Manageable. Foolproof. Nowhere on that list: falling for a fourteen-year-old sophomore who kept ambushing her with daisies and handwritten letters that smelled faintly of cologne and trouble. Tyron Sanchez is a disaster for her GPA-a charming, relentless sophomore who seems to have made it his mission to prove that age is just a number. And then there's Raymar Bastian, who knows her better than she knows herself... and is starting to look at her like he's finally realized she's not just one of the guys. Now Essa has to choose between the safe, familiar heart she's always known, and the reckless, thrilling one that makes her forget every carefully laid plan. And if she's not careful, she might lose both her future and her oldest friend in the process.Complete

Edison
Fourteen-year-old Edison Green may be a genius, but he doesn't have a clue about what to do on his first day of high school. After being homeschooled until age 9 and then starting college courses, Edison doesn't have any experience with kids his own age. His parents believe he has a rare gift and they don't want him to be distracted by the menial problems of teenagers; instead, they want him to focus on his research project, which could be the next big breakthrough in physics. Edison loves physics more than anything, but loneliness and curiosity about life outside his world cause him to rebel. He goes on strike, refusing to continue his studies until his parents agree to let him go to high school for one year. Edison isn't worried about high school being hard--after all, he's been invited to join Mensa International--an exclusive club for the top 2% of the world's smartest people. But he finds out quickly that it takes more than a high IQ to traverse the social events and activities at Southton High School. During an unfortunate encounter with the school's most popular athlete, Edison meets Christina Blakely, who saves him from getting pummeled on his first day of school. She is the exact opposite of him in every way. Christina is a soccer phenom who doesn't have time to be friends with lowly freshmen. She's got problems of her own, including a low GPA, which could prevent her from getting a college scholarship. Can Christina achieve the impossible-the highest GPA she's ever had--and earn her scholarship? And can Edison prove to his parents and everyone else-including Ashley Murray, the most beautiful girl he's ever seen-that he can do more than solve difficult math problems? Can he really change the world with his research project, win Ashley's heart and survive high school?Complete

Falling Without Landing
Everyone knew him - intelligent, admired, the face of his department. But she never looked his way. Ethan Lao had it all: top of his class, famous among engineering students, and effortlessly charming. Most girls noticed. Lila Santos didn't. Loud, passionate, and laser-focused on her accounting board exam, Lila was the kind of girl who spoke her mind, filled rooms with her energy, and had no time for college crushes. Their worlds crossed through mutual friends, campus visits, and fleeting moments - but she never even knew his name. He sent her Facebook friend requests. Twice. She didn't respond. Then came the pandemic. Life slowed down. Screens lit up. And one day, Ethan saw her again - in a Facebook story. Still vibrant. Still unaware. "Do you think she'd mind if I sent a wave?" he asked. This isn't a story about love that bloomed. It's about admiration left unread. About falling for someone... who never even saw you coming. This is "Falling Without Landing."Complete
