The Space Between The Stars
At an elite boarding school where secrets bloom like wildflowers and love never follows the rules, 17-year-old Kivi is caught between the past she can't let go of and the boy who just might be her future.
Haunted by the quiet ache of her childhood-her father's death, the boy who became her home, and the friend who always made her feel safe-Kivi arrives carrying more than just a suitcase. She's holding onto heartbreak, unspoken longing, and the kind of love that was never supposed to happen.
Then there's Rowan.
Tattooed, guarded, and beautiful in all the wrong ways, Rowan collides into her world like a storm. Together, they write a secret friendship contract-honesty, boundaries, no lies. But rules blur. Nights get warmer. And suddenly, he's not just her friend, he's her fire.
With a stepbrother who still holds her heart, a golden boy next door who made her feel safe, and a new love that makes her feel seen, Kivi must navigate love, identity, and everything in between.
Because the line between "right" and "real" is never as clear as it seems.

DESIRE AFTER THE RAIN
Two hearts that never sought love somehow found themselves in its crossfire. Desire had always been hungry not for a hand to hold, not for whispered promises, but for success that would make her name matter. Every choice she made, every risk she took, was fueled by that relentless fire burning inside her. Love was a luxury she couldn't afford. Rowan, meanwhile, lived tethered to a ghost. His heart belonged to someone who had walked out of his life but never left his memory. He wasn't looking for another; he was only surviving, counting the days in quiet solitude, haunted by what once was. And then Desire appeared a spark he didn't expect, a force he didn't know he needed. They collided, brushed against each other's edges, and for a moment, it seemed like something could bloom. But they both knew better. Desire could not pause for love, and Rowan could not unchain his past. while Rowan thought he had lost Desire to ambition, and Desire believed Rowan was lost to memory, neither realized that in their fleeting connection, they had already changed each other. Desire's fire had awakened a part of Rowan he thought was buried forever, and Rowan's quiet depth had given Desire a glimpse of something more than hunger. Did Desire ever find a reason to love, or was success always enough to fill the emptiness inside her? Did Rowan finally let go of the ghost of his past, or did it follow him quietly, like a shadow he could never shake?
Goodbye Heartbreak (Book 4 Goodbye Series)
This isn't your average meet-cute. In fact, it's not cute at all. Rowan Ward is a tattooed florist with a soft heart and a sharp tongue. He likes his solitude, craves his routines, and absolutely panics when his roommate announces he's moving to California. Past trauma makes change feel like a threat, and Rowan doesn't do well with being left behind. Piper Kerrigan is fresh off a fallout with her sorority sister, a college scandal that scorched her family ties, and a sudden eviction that leaves her scrambling for a new place to live. She's just trying to stay afloat while working for event-planning royalty Savannah Monroe Remington and pretending everything's fine. So when Rowan offers up his spare bedroom, Piper is... hesitant. Because it's Rowan. Mysterious. Moody. Tattooed in ways that should not be legal. But also Rowan is safe, gay (probably), and weirdly comforting. Two single roommates. One shared space. Zero romantic expectations. They bond over caffeine, sarcasm, and their mutual hatred of Valentine's Day. But when Piper misreads a key piece of Rowan's identity, what started as a safe arrangement quickly starts feeling like a threat, to her comfort, her rules, and her no-dating-roommates policy. Because this isn't a love story built on fate or convenience. This is an anti-meet-cute. And things are about to get very, very complicated.Complete
