I was always used to doing what people tell me to do. Get good grades they said. Take care of your little sister they said. Let me borrow everything you own and never give it back they said. No matter what was asked of me I always complied but it was never enough. I was always the people pleaser, the one who bends and breaks for everyone else's needs, but no matter how much I tried I always end up alone.
...Until I met him.
Silas
My entire existence was a mistake from the moment I was conceived. Born to a 15-year-old girl in Rome, Italy. Then orphaned. I learned to fight to survive. No one ever knew what to expect from me, and it scared them. By the age of 10 I had a reputation as a psychopath. Some even say I'm a cold-hearted unhinged killer. Cold-hearted? Wrong. Unhinged killer? Accurate. People barely considered me human.
... until I laid my eyes on her.
Two shattered souls, two broken hearts, find healing in love.

The Guy I Could Never Have
Some people arrive quietly. No fireworks. No background music. Just a look. A name. A violet shirt in a white room. You don't realize it's the start. Not until you're too far in. I didn't fall for him the way stories say you should. There was no moment of knowing. Just a slow ache that built between library tables and half-finished coffee cups. The kind of love that feels like a question no one teaches you how to ask. We were never official. Never obvious. We were playlists. Eye contact. A sentence that almost sounded like confession-until it didn't. And somewhere in that space between almost and never, I became someone I didn't recognize. Someone quieter. Smaller. And then... someone who walked away. This is not a story about the guy I ended up with. This is about the one I couldn't have. The one who arrived too late. The one who taught me that not all love stories need a happy ending- Some just need a girl who finally chooses herself. And this time, I did.Complete
Always Been You
Some people grow up with childhood friends. I grew up with Noah Lancaster. Two years without Noah by my side, and I thought I'd changed. I'd grown into my own person, no longer the girl who needed protecting. But stepping into the prestigious halls of St. James proved I was wrong. Surrounded by strangers who make it painfully clear I don't belong to their world, it's all too easy to fall back into old patterns. And Noah... like the constant he's always been, pulls me back into his orbit. Only he's not the same boy I remember. He's sharper now. More calculated. More intense. There's something in him I can't quite name, a quiet shift in the air around him, like the moment before a storm breaks. They say university is where you find yourself. I never thought I'd find myself in the middle of something I couldn't walk away from... or explain to the police.
These Vengeful vows
They were promised to each other before they could even speak. Heir to an empire. Daughter of a legacy. Bound by a deal neither of them asked for. She's learned to live with the panic that shadows her nights, the anxiety that claws at her chest when the world becomes too much. He's learned to bury the ghosts of his past under power, wealth, and a name that opens every door. But the marriage contract changes everything. One bed. One future. No escape. And just when they begin to see beyond the walls they've built around themselves, a message arrives: I know who killed your mother. The sender? A man the groom once called brother. Someone who lost eight years of his life while he walked free. Someone who wants revenge, not just on him, but on the family that destroyed everything. Lies will surface. Loyalties will shatter. And in the middle of it all, two broken souls will have to decide if they can trust each other... or if love is just another trap waiting to break them.
Into the Velvet
*EDITORS' CHOICE 2021*After falling for her senior year teacher, Louise learns a harsh lesson on what adulthood isn't. Louise has some trauma to unpack. Heartbreak's a bitch, and her first relationship had been anything but normal. Thinking herself mature for her age, her affair with Mr. Cain started swooningly well. Except things ended quite abruptly. It's a lot for a seventeen year old to handle. But who's really at fault for what happened? Who even is Mr. Cain, and what is he hiding? From the wreckage of her naivety and self-esteem, can Louise save her friendships and rebuild herself? Our love songs aren't telling the whole truth. How can this be? In this tale of vulnerability, adolescence and painful reckoning, the arrogance of youth demands a price. * "'You're what, Louise?' he asked. 'You're sorry? What am I supposed to do here? How can I turn this around? How can I tell you that everything you want and feel is reciprocated, when I have to go back to work and pretend none of it happened?' 'I don't know the answer!' I cried. 'Neither of us do.' I threw my hands up in defeat. He caught them before they could fall. 'But how do I go back to living without your words?' His voice became a whisper. He squeezed my fingers tightly, closing his eyes and bringing them to his chest. 'I need how you make me feel, Luiza. I need it to feel alive. I won't stay away. No one's made me feel this good before. And I can't stand myself for wanting what I want. What do I do?' I was a violin bow on the verge of splintering. Every inch of me pulsed with an ache that began from the marrow of my bones. Fate had brought us here. At this crossroads of ours, there were a hundred different choices to make. A thousand different lifetimes to choose from, stemming from and decided entirely by my next choice. And in the end, I chose incorrectly. I held his face between my hands, feeling the echoing pulse of his skin. I brought his face to mine. I kissed him."Complete
