How far must you fall before someone catches you?
Hallie Carter is seventeen, but she's barely living-trapped between mirrors and hunger, between hospital walls and silent screams. No doctors, no pills, no promises have ever managed to pull her back from the darkness that's slowly erasing her.
Until him.
Patrick Collins. A man who doesn't know what love is-but somehow sees straight through her. They both carry scars, some visible, others buried deep. But when their lives collide, something begins to break-not them, but the silence. The lies. The fear.
This isn't a beautiful love story.
It's a raw, unflinching fight for survival.
About fading bodies. And hearts that dare to hope again.
Because when you've stopped believing in yourself-what happens when someone else starts?

Ava & Liam: What it means to stay
Ava never expected her last year of high school to start with a stranger changing everything. Quiet, unpredictable, impossible to read, Liam walks into her life like a storm she didn't see coming. He hides behind sarcasm and long sleeves, drifting through school like he's just passing through. Ava tells herself not to care. But then he looks at her. And she sees it, the pain he tries to bury, the secrets he pretends don't exist, the loneliness he carries like a shadow. When they're forced to work together for a class project, Ava slowly discovers the truth he hides from everyone else: Liam doesn't let people close. Because the last time he did... it destroyed him. What begins as awkward teamwork turns into late-night conversations, shared moments, and quiet confessions neither of them meant to say out loud. They're not supposed to fall for each other. They're not even supposed to be friends. But some connections don't care about rules. As Ava gets pulled deeper into Liam's world and the complicated, fragile life he tries so hard to manage, she realizes there's more at stake than just her heart. Because Liam's past is darker than she ever imagined. And the truth waiting for him is something that might change everything. This is a story about two people learning to trust again... about staying when it's easier to run... and about finding light in the one person you never expected. A slow-burn, emotional romance about healing, secrets, and the kind of love that makes you brave.Complete
