In Scars of Ascent, Elara Voss, a shy, resilient girl from a struggling family, earns a full scholarship to the elite Valmont University, a world of wealth and privilege far removed from her life caring for her sick mother and two younger sisters. Determined to seize this chance, she steps into a glittering campus ruled by Seraphina Caldwell, a ruthless blonde heiress who, with her two minions, targets Elara with vicious bullying. Drawn to the charm of Valmont's heartthrob, a charismatic senior named Ethan, Elara believes she's found an ally-only to be humiliated when he betrays her, playing her heart for sport to boost his own popularity. Reeling from the sting of betrayal and Seraphina's relentless cruelty, Elara finds unexpected solace in Julian Caldwell, Seraphina's introverted, brilliant older brother. As their quiet connection deepens into a forbidden romance, Elara must navigate a treacherous social hierarchy, confront her own scars, and decide if she can trust her heart again to rise above the pain and claim her place at Valmont.

" 'Cause if I know you see me falling, You'll be right there to pick me up" Liyah never meant to fall this fast. She's the shy-but-outgoing type - the kind of girl who laughs things off, bites her tongue, and lets stuff slide just to keep the peace. Communication isn't her strong suit, and standing up for herself never came easy. But when Kayzon walks into her life, everything she thought she knew about protecting her heart gets complicated. Kayzon's got his own story - one written in pain, loss, and walls too high for most people to climb. His past made him hard, quiet, and guarded, but somehow, Liyah gets past the surface. She makes him feel seen again. Safe, even. What starts as late-night conversations and lazy afternoons in her dorm turns into something deeper, something neither of them expected. But when two people carrying their own kind of hurt collide, love doesn't always heal - sometimes, it exposes. Did they move too fast, or did they just find each other at the wrong time?
