The Walls Between Us
Mariah Carter has mastered the art of survival-walls built high, heart locked tight, and a sharp tongue ready to cut down anyone who dares to get too close. Love, for her, is a risk she refuses to take twice. Then there's Luke Anderson. Bold. Reckless. Unapologetically persistent. The boy who once sketched storms under a broken awning has grown into a man unafraid to chase what he wants-including Mariah, no matter how fiercely she pushes him away. They clash like fire and thunder, their connection impossible to ignore and even harder to define. For every wall Mariah builds, Luke finds a way to test it, break it, or simply barge through. But behind her defiance lies a fear she can't outrun: the terror of being vulnerable again, of losing herself in the very love she claims to hate. This is not a gentle love story. It's messy, chaotic, and loud. It's about storms and the people brave enough to stand in them. And maybe-just maybe-about a girl learning that sometimes, letting someone in doesn't mean losing yourself... it means finding who you were meant to be all along.
DIE WITH A SMILE
"Lena Carter's life is basically chaos - burnt pancakes, missed buses, and a best friend who's way too good at getting on her nerves. High school should be simple. Spoiler: it's not. Now she's stuck doing a project with Austin Ryder - the golden boy quarterback - while Jace, her best friend since forever, keeps looking at her like he knows something she doesn't. Between late-night laughter, secrets she's too scared to say out loud, and the way her heart has started acting... strange, Lena's beginning to realise life doesn't come with instructions. Because sometimes, the biggest smiles hide the deepest cracks."
Ribbons, Rumors, and Her ✔
[@TheAmbys 2025 Favorites (Top Pick)] Bullied and bruised, Adam has survived high school by keeping his head down. Those bothered by his quiet, eccentric nature? They are the 'pretty' ones. The ones with comfortable backgrounds. The ones at the top. When an attractive transfer becomes his seat neighbour for the rest of the semester, Adam is naturally wary - partly because of her brawny sibling in senior year, and partly because she checks every box on his list of people to avoid: pretty, rich, and popular. With an angelic smile, twinkling sapphire eyes and ribbons in her golden hair, her persona screams perfection. A level he won't be able to achieve even in his quirkiest of daydreams - not like he'd ever want to. After all, despite her odd choice of friends, her playful teasing, and her persistent efforts to win his trust, isn't she just another heartless bully? ••• Featured on: @humor - DiverseLit Humor (Sept 2025) @Ambassadors - Slice Of Life (Sept 2025) @humor - Ambassadors' Monthly Pick (Oct 2025) @humor - Ambassadors' Pick List (May 2026)Complete

The Weight of Us
Elena Morris has spent her entire life trying not to take up space. Quiet, bookish, and plus-size, she's mastered the art of invisibility at college-especially around guys like Jace Carter, the charming star athlete who leaves a wake of attention wherever he goes. So when Jace ends up in her creative writing class and-worse-asks her to tutor him, Elena braces herself for disaster. But Jace is nothing like she expected. He listens. He shows up. And beneath the swagger is someone surprisingly sincere... and maybe a little broken too. Over long nights in the library, shared stories, and too many vanilla lattes, something real begins to bloom-something that terrifies Elena even as it makes her feel more seen than ever before. One explosive kiss shatters the fragile line between them, and just as they begin to build something honest and beautiful, Elena discovers she's pregnant. What follows is a tender, raw, and deeply emotional journey-through fear, through love, through the ache of learning to believe she's enough. With Jace by her side, unwavering and all-in, Elena begins to find her voice not just in writing... but in life.Complete
