She thought her life was perfect. Until someone showed her what real felt like.
Clementine Waller is the girl with the perfect life-or so it seems. At twenty, she's checking all the right boxes: a steady relationship, a bright academic future, a reputation for being calm, kind, and dependable. Her boyfriend, Oscar, is everything people say she should want - charming, devoted, and sweet... when he wants to be.
But the night she catches a glimpse of a person, who seems to beam from the crowd, curiosity sparks in her.
Sol is everything Clementine isn't: spontaneous, bold, and full of quiet rebellion. Their connection is immediate. Instantly knowing they'd become best friends, texting every day, talking every day, shopping every day, basic innocent friend stuff...right?

Heart Lessons (WlW)
Sometimes the best lessons aren't learned in class, they're felt in the heart. Riley Hale's life runs on caffeine, chaos, and cupcake batter. At twenty-eight, she's mastered the art of single motherhood, sarcasm, and pretending she's totally fine that her love life has been replaced by late-night cleaning montages and her eight-year-old's existential questions. Then one morning, a frosty stranger in a perfect beige coat walks into The Sweet Spot bakery and straight into Riley's list of "people I will never impress." After one spilled coffee and a mortifying apology later, Riley is convinced she'll never see the woman again. Until the next day, when she meets her daughter's new fifth-grade teacher... Miss Emerson Miller. What follows is a year of accidental flirtations, school-event disasters, and late-night bake-offs that blur the line between enemies, friends, and something sweeter. Because sometimes love doesn't show up when you plan it - it spills all over your shoes and dares you to start over. A slow-burn, small-town romantic comedy about second chances, messy mornings, and discovering that the best lessons aren't always taught in classrooms.Complete

A Hidden Picture
Annalise sees the world as though she is looking at it from afar. As if it's just a meaningless painting in a museum that she is observing. Admiring the beautiful strokes and the imperfections that somehow manage to make it even more intriguing. The last thing she would ever expect is someone reaching out from the painting and pulling her inside. The colors feeling as though she can practically taste them on her tongue. Suddenly being indulged by something she once saw as so two dimensional. Something that she once thought had no soul, no form of beauty beneath the surface. Only being able to see a pretty frame and gorgeous yet seemingly meaningless brush strokes. A life hidden in plain sight.

Almost Mine.
Ava Westwood never wanted a stepmother. Especially not one like Lucien Sinclair. At just eighteen, Ava's world is already complicated, college pressure, a strained relationship with her father, and now the arrival of Lucien, a cold, intimidating CEO with perfect posture and a mysterious past shatters what little stability she had left. Lucien is sharp, distant, and beautiful in a way that feels dangerous. Ava's always hated how calm she is. How perfect. How untouchable. But hatred is a strange thing. It lingers. Twists. Deepens. And somewhere between the silence, the glances, and the tension that builds every day in that house, something begins to shift. A forbidden slow-burn romance between an 18-year-old girl and the one woman she was never supposed to want.
