And thanks to her brother, she's been dragged to a cozy Virginia town where the people are warm but wary-like they're throwing seasonal festivals to distract from something darker. Cyrus is steady. Charming. Protective. The boy who helps her navigate the life she never asked for. But when she starts slipping at home, and at school, the person who shows up isn't Cyrus. It's Nicholas. Cyrus's older cousin and best friend's emotionally unavailable brother. The one they all warned her about. Nick tells her the town isn't what it seems. That if she wants the truth, she'll have to stop trusting the system, and start trusting him instead. As the pressure builds, Jenna is forced to choose between two versions of safety: The boy who pulls her closer as she breaks, but won't speak the truth aloud... Or the boy who betrayed the people he loves-but trusts her with a secret that could destroy everything. **** ✨ Tropes / Themes: • Slow burn triangle • Disability rep (deaf MC + cochlear implants) • Found family & sibling bonds • Cozy and quirky small town vibes.

Deadly Bookstore
When Lisa Bancroft, a bestselling romance novelist, arrives at the flagship Harrinton's bookstore in Union Square for a highly anticipated signing, she finds herself caught in more than the usual whirlwind of celebrity adoration. As her latest book, The Enigma of Her, is being devoured by the public, she begins to realize that the same people who helped propel her to fame-her ruthless publisher, the power-hungry CEO Charles Avery -might be playing a deadly game of manipulation, betrayal, and deceit. Things take a dangerous turn when a shocking murder occurs during the event, and the detectives find themselves in a locked office with a handful of suspects who each have something to gain, or lose, from this dastardly crime. A storm brews among the staff: a disillusioned designer, a corporate rival, an environmentalist, an overworked secretary, and a relentless journalist, each with their grudges against the charismatic but corrupt CEO. Charles had made enemies not just within the halls of Harrington's but at home as well. Everyone has a motive, but everyone has an alibi. Deadly Bookstore weaves together the high-stakes world of publishing, the cutthroat nature of the bookstore industry, and the tense isolation of a locked room mystery. It is a story about how far people will go to maintain control, and what happens when the line between personal and professional becomes blurred beyond recognition.Lengkap
