Abby (Aubrey) has always believed in happy endings, even when life gave her every reason not to. Diagnosed with Huntington's disease at 17, she's spent years fighting a battle she knows has no guaranteed cure. Now, as her symptoms begin to progress, hope becomes harder to hold onto, until she meets Kai (Lance), a young doctor reluctantly involved in a clinical drug trial that could change everything.
For Kai, the trial was never about saving lives-it was a stepping stone. His chief promised to sign off his resignation if he participated, giving him the freedom to finally leave the country. But Abby wasn't part of the plan. With every hospital visit, every quiet conversation, and every glimpse into her unshakable spirit, something in him starts to shift.
Can a trial that began out of obligation... become her only lifeline?
Can love bloom... between two people standing on opposite sides of fate?

rebound | Aubrey Griffin
Jayla Rivers was a rising star in high school basketball-strong, fast, and sharp with a court vision beyond her years. When UConn offered her a scholarship, it was everything she'd dreamed of. But the timing wasn't kind. Just a week after her acceptance, her father-her biggest supporter and her first coach-took his own life. Now, Jayla steps onto UConn's campus not only with the weight of expectations but with a grief she doesn't know how to carry. She hides behind her game, pouring herself into training and burying the pain. The coaches notice her potential, the media watches her rise, but no one sees how close she is to falling apart. Then there's Aubrey Griffin-UConn's junior wing, explosive on the court, calm off it, and someone who's no stranger to injury, pressure, and the quiet battles players fight in silence. What starts as a few moments of shared court time and awkward conversations turns into late-night shooting drills, unspoken support, and something softer growing in the cracks of Jayla's grief. As the season intensifies, so does Jayla's struggle to cope. But with Aubrey's quiet strength beside her and the team slowly becoming a second family, she begins to understand that healing isn't linear-and love, like basketball, is about trust, timing, and never giving up after a hard fall. Rebound is a story about grief, growth, and the unexpected ways love can find you-even when you think you're too broken to receive it.Complete
