When Liora reconnects with her childhood crush during lockdown, she never expects their late-night chats and shared melodies to grow into the kind of love she always dreamed of-only to later become the heartbreak she never saw coming.
For years, Liora quietly admired Kaelen from afar-her tall, mysterious classmate with a voice like music and eyes that seemed to see everything but her. But when the pandemic hits in Grade 9, an unexpected message changes everything. What begins as casual conversation turns into deep connection, as Kaelen begins to share his music, his secrets, and eventually... his heart.
By Grade 10, their friendship turns into something more. He holds her hand near the canteen. Gives her a nickname. Makes her laugh when her world is falling apart. And when her family breaks-when her mom leaves and her brother is taken away-Kaelen is the one person who stays. Through trauma, distance, and cultural divides, their love only deepens.
But not every love story ends with a forever.
When pressure from Kaelen's parents forces them apart, Liora is left to pick up the pieces of her already fragile world. And even when he returns, changed and wanting her back, she must decide if love is enough when the past still lingers and their beliefs stand in the way.
A story of broken homes, healing hearts, and the bittersweet ache of the one that got away-with an unfinished love that once felt eternal.

Untimely Love (Book 3)
♤VOL 1: Book III in the FORBIDDEN series♤ ♠♤ "Have you ever been in love?" I didn't know what to say to that. My skin heated with an embarrassed, uncomfortable blush that even attacked my skull. I should've been more prepared for the question, I guess. Still, it felt like a punch in the gut. Who says I'm not, is what I wanted to say-it's the worse thing I could possibly say. The worst thing to admit to myself now. "By that look," she gestured to my face, sitting back in her chair, "I'd say you have." ♠♤ He hadn't been prepared for the past year. In the beginning, he only saw it as his first and last year of freedom. He dropped out of honors classes and quit the track team to focus on more academic studies and getting into college. A girl hadn't been in his plans. Heartbreak hadn't either. But it happened anyway because life could be a bitch like that. And now he had to start college and a new life with the pain and memories burning in the back of his head and chest for however long it took to be okay after a heart had been broken. He'd been denying the one thing everyone's been throwing at him; 'college will change you'. And now he's seeing that there was a chance he would change. But it wouldn't be because of college. ♠♤ ♤ Sequel to 'Forbidden Attraction' ♤ Will officially start publishing in September 2020

"The Quiet Madness Of Loving You "
He was her first love. Her first everything. Her last mistake. Back in high school, Rivan was the boy who teased her, tormented her, then vanished without a trace. But he never stopped watching. Never stopped waiting. And never stopped desiring. She waited for him - patiently, foolishly, believing he would return for her. She never saw the truth: He never left. Now, eight years later, she's with someone else. Someone who doesn't see her the way he does. Someone who can't have her the way he does. Rivan can't stand it. He can't let her go. And this time, no amount of distance, no new relationship, no well-meaning fiancé will stop him. He'll tear apart her world. **He will make her remember who she truly belongs to. He will make her see the truth that was always there: She was never meant to love anyone else. He was her first. And he will be her last.** "He'll break her heart, but it will be his hands that put it back together." "She was always his... and she'll never escape again." "No one else could ever take her place. He won't let them." "She thought she moved on. He'll make her regret that."
Was it meant to be!?
Was It Ever Ours? It was their first love, and neither of them knew what to do with it. He was quiet, unsure, always wondering if he could ever be enough. She was bold, full of questions, but hiding just as much. They didn't mean for it to happen. It started with little moments - a shared smile, an accidental touch, the way his heart raced when she laughed. No one told them what to expect when love is new - the joy, the fear, the way everything can feel like too much and yet not enough. It wasn't a perfect story. It was messy, with secrets, doubts, and too many things left unsaid. But it was theirs, for a moment. And sometimes, that's all you can hold onto.Complete
