"This is not a story about healing.
It's a story about the girl who didn't."
Eli was only fourteen when she gave her whole heart to someone who promised not to break it.
In a world full of judgment, whispers, and cruel comparisons, she stayed - even when the pain begged her to let go.
He was her first love. Her safe space. The one who made her believe that love could be gentle.
But when the world started talking, he stopped listening.
And when a prettier girl walked in, he walked away.
Torn between forgiveness and the aching weight of betrayal, Eli begins to question her worth, her beauty, and her place in a world that never seemed to choose her.
She tries to hold on, even as everything falls apart - her friendships, her self-esteem, and the boy who promised forever.
Back to December is a raw, emotional, and deeply personal novel about the kind of heartbreak that doesn't fade.
It's about staying quiet in a world that never listened, and loving someone who never truly saw you.
For every girl who was once the second choice,
For every heart that still hurts months later,
This is your story too.

Love me, Then Leave me
Love Me, Then Leave Me is the story I've poured my heart into, and it's raw, messy, and real, the kind of story that doesn't shy away from the parts of love that hurt the most. It follows Ivy Monroe, a seventeen-year-old girl who's quiet, guarded, and trying to navigate a world that often feels bigger than her. She's careful with her heart, but when Jace Carter walks into her life, charming, irresistible, and seemingly untouchable, everything shifts. He's everything she didn't know she wanted, and nothing she can hold onto. Writing this book, I wanted to explore the intensity of first love, the confusion of emotions when someone makes you feel seen yet unreachable, and the heartbreak that comes from being left wondering what went wrong. Ivy isn't perfect, she makes mistakes, she overthinks, and she feels deeply, but that's exactly what makes her real. And Jace? He's complicated, infuriating, and unforgettable. The tension between them builds, the chemistry sparks, and every interaction is charged with vulnerability, desire, and fear. But this story isn't just about love, it's about identity, growth, and the messy process of learning to protect your heart without closing it completely. Through Ivy's perspective, I wanted to capture the exhilaration of falling for someone who seems out of reach, the sting of betrayal, and the bittersweet lessons that come with letting go. There's laughter, heartbreak, hope, and pain, all woven together to tell a story that stays with you long after the last page. When I wrote Love Me, Then Leave Me, I wanted readers to feel Ivy's highs and lows, to walk in her shoes, and to remember that love is never simple, but it's always worth the risk. This is a story for anyone who's ever loved too deeply, questioned too much, and dared to hope again, even when their heart is telling them to run.Complete
Where Softness Goes To Die
> Moremi Wilson was made of softness-of skin too tender, of words too careful, of a heart that bruised every time someone said "I love you" and didn't mean it. Half British, half Yoruba, and wholly misplaced, she's spent her life trying to belong somewhere-anywhere. But love never let her settle. Then he came. The boy with the crooked smile and venom in his voice. The one who touched her like she was art and ruined her like she was his canvas. In the city where cultures clash and hearts don't heal, Moremi learns that softness is a luxury... And girls like her don't get to keep it for long. This isn't a story about healing. It's about the unimaginable twists and turns of life.Complete
Limitless Conversations
Two people. One bench. A thousand memories between them. What began as simple laughter and late-night calls turned into distance, silence, and unspoken words. They loved each other once - deeply, painfully - but life had other plans. Between miscommunication, loss, and time, they drifted apart... leaving only echoes of what they used to be. Years later, fate brings them back to the same place where everything began - the bench beneath the streetlight. Only this time, they're not the same people who once fell in love. She's learned to rebuild herself from the quiet, to find meaning through her writing and the ghosts of her past. He's learned to stop running, to sit with his emotions, and to rediscover the parts of himself he once gave away. What follows isn't a love story in the traditional sense - it's a story about understanding. About heartbreak that transforms instead of destroys. About growth that doesn't erase what came before but gives it purpose. Because sometimes, love doesn't vanish. It just changes shape. And sometimes, the most powerful conversations are the ones that never really end - they simply wait for you to come back.Complete

It begins with pain and loneliness-Lily, a quiet girl battling a life-threatening brain tumor, has learned to live each day like it might be her last. She's strong, but weary.

But he sees her-not her illness, not her sadness, but her. And that small act of compassion turns into friendship... and something slowly, deeply more. Their story is not just about romance-it's about Lily learning to open herself up again, to let someone in even when she doesn't know how long she'll have. And it's about Xavier choosing her over what's easy or popular, choosing love that's raw and real. When Lily receives news that her tumor is shrinking, it becomes a turning point-not just for her health, but got her heart. The countdown she's lived by begins to fade, and she starts to believe in a future. With Xavier beside her, she begins to dream again. Together, they build something quiet, steady, and powerful.

Coachella • Billie Eilish
They were best friends. Until one night at Coachella changed everything. Dahlia never meant to fall for Billie Eilish. It started as late-night calls, inside jokes, and the kind of closeness that made everyone else feel like background noise. But at Coachella-under neon skies and a heartbeat of music-Billie kissed her. And Dahlia kissed her back. It should've meant something. But Billie still had a girlfriend. And Dahlia? She was left with questions Billie wouldn't answer. This book has moonlit concerts, stolen glances, and the ache of loving someone who can't love you back-until they finally do. ‼️There is NO SMUT‼️ (This is my first story- and it sucks. I'm writing more stories that are WAY better. But this story is still kinda good- just wonky. There is no smut in this story but I've got other stories that do- so follow me to read those)Complete

Fulfilled or Forgotten
In a near-future society, every person wears a Cast - a sleek device that displays their inner fulfillment for all to see. Fulfillment is everything. It's currency. It's status. It's safety. The more fulfilled you are, the longer you live, the more respected you become. And if your Cast falls too low for too long? You're taken to The Verge, a place no one talks about... and few return from. Kai Renner has it all. Fame, wealth, admiration. He's the face of success - glowing with fake fulfillment thanks to an illegal implant. But during a massive celebration in his honor, the system malfunctions... and reveals the truth. He's exposed, labeled as "critically unfulfilled," and chosen for transport. But Kai isn't alone. At The Verge, he finds a hidden world - a community of the "unfulfilled" who've all been cast out by the same rigged system. As Kai navigates this strange, stripped-down environment, each chapter uncovers a lie society sold as truth - and teaches a lesson on real fulfillment. Not the kind that glows. The kind that heals. This is not a story of rising back to the top. This is a story of breaking free from the idea that worth comes from winning. Through love, pain, confrontation, erotic healing, and spiritual truth - Kai and the others begin to uncover something deeper than success: peace. But the system doesn't like peace. It wants obedience. And the final chapters will force Kai to choose: Expose the system for what it is, or lose everything - again.
Petals in the Rain
*Chapter One: The Sound of Empty Rooms* The rain had a rhythm that matched the echo in her chest-quiet, repetitive, and endlessly hollow. Elira sat by the window of her grandmother's wooden house, where the walls creaked like ghosts remembering things she tried so hard to forget. Her breath fogged up the glass as she watched the street below-quiet, gray, and soaked. She didn't mind the rain. It was the one thing that stayed. At twenty-two, Elira had never been kissed. Not truly. Not with the kind of kiss that silences thoughts and stirs old wounds into healing. She had known touches-cold, demanding ones from men who mistook her loneliness for permission. She had known eyes-watching, judging, leaving. But love? Real love? That had been the whisper in fairy tales and the ache between the pages of books she'd hide under her pillow. Her mother had left when she was ten. A note on the fridge, a half-packed suitcase, and a phone number that never answered. Her father drowned his grief in silence and whisky until his liver gave up when she was sixteen. After that, silence wasn't just emotional-it was literal. Elira grew up learning that people left. Always. Her greatest fear wasn't being alone-it was being almost loved. Almost chosen. Almost enough. Then she met him. She closed the book on her lap-*entwined in chaos*. Of course it was. She clung to the idea that love should hurt a little, that maybe if she bled enough, someone would see the red and realize she had a heart worth holding. That night, she wrote in her journal: *"If love exists, let it find me. Even if it breaks me."* And it would. So deeply, so completely, that even time would pause to grieve.Complete

She shows little emotion because it makes her weak. She feels like the world is out to destroy her and the only way to prevent that is to shutdown completely.
