Some ghosts never really leave. Some promises refuse to stay buried.
In 1995, Dani Whitmore spent a summer that changed everything - friendship, first love, rebellion, and something far darker hidden deep in the forests of Velvet Cove.
Now, 27 years later, she's back.
Haunted by fragments of a pact they were never meant to remember, pulled in by a mysterious package, faded memories, and a silence she's carried too long.
Dani must piece together the truth about that summer - and face the one thing she never truly let go of: Kat Mikaelsen.
A story about love, grief, and the memories we bury.
"We made a promise. We broke it."

TWO SOULS
In the vast, indifferent expanse of the universe, two souls drift-lost, searching, incomplete. Though separated by silence and space, they remain tethered by a single heart-a heart that once pulsed with unshakable love, searing regret, quiet joy, and unspeakable pain. A heart that has known hope and fear in equal measure. A heart that has been shattered, its pieces hidden behind walls of stone and silence, guarded by the ruins of betrayal and time. These souls, kindred yet distant, yearn to find their way back-not just to each other, but to the heart that binds them. But the path is treacherous. Shadows of a long-buried conspiracy rise again, threatening to erase their very essence and scatter them further into the cosmic dark. Will their longing be strong enough to break through the walls that pain has built? Will the heart dare to open once more? Or will fate, cruel and calculating, let them vanish once again-two souls forever lost, just out of reach? STORY CONTAIN THREE PARTS:- PART 1:- The Broken Heart PART 2:- The Lost Soul PART 3:- Lost againComplete

As old feelings ignite and buried secrets come to light, Iris finds herself caught between the life she's worked so hard to build and the man who could tear down every wall around her heart.

The Wrong Kind of Love
Some loves are whispered. Some are hidden. Some can tear a family apart. Maya never meant for it to happen. She was supposed to be Ellie's best friend-the constant, the confidante, the one person Ellie could always trust. But then there was Leo: strong, steady, scarred by loss. A man who should have been untouchable. One glance too long. One laugh that lingered. One moment too close-and the boundaries they swore to protect began to crack. Now, every lie feels heavier. Every silence burns hotter. And as desire grows in the shadows, so does the risk: of betrayal, of heartbreak, of losing everything they thought was unshakable. What begins as a spark becomes a storm. And when the truth finally breaks through, love may not be enough to save them.
