𝐀𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚 𝐃𝐢𝐚𝐳 has always taken comfort in the quiet corners of the bookstore where she works, surrounded by stories with tidy, hopeful endings. But when she is diagnosed with a terminal illness, her own story feels suddenly, terrifying uncertain. Faced with fear and heartbreak, Alaina makes a brave choice: she will live as fully as she can, while she still can.
That choice leads her to 𝐉𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐧 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐫, a kind and gentle janitor who sees beyond her illness to the fierce, hopeful spirit within. Javon's acceptance gives Alaina the courage to step beyond her fear, and together they dive into a whirlwind of adventures. Exploring new places, creating beautiful memories, and cherishing every moment they share. As her illness progresses, their bond depends, reminding them both that even in the face of fear, love can bring light to the darkest days.
𝙎𝙏𝘼𝙉𝘿 𝘽𝙔 𝙈𝙀 is unforgettable story about finding hope, embracing love, and daring to live boldly. No matter how fragile life may feel.

𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐀 𝐇𝐀𝐘𝐄𝐒 is a seventeen-year-old girl, determined to take on the world. Even though, it hasn't always treated her fairly, she hasn't let its cruelty taint her pretty smile and good heart. She's ready to prove that a person's worth is not subjective to their past. And she'll do it by attending Stonebridge Academy.
𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐎 𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐎𝐍 is a seventeen-year-old immature nightmare, according to everyone around him. He's messy and twisted and a pain in the ass. The cards he's been dealt with, from a young age, have been nothing but cruel. He's stuck in his past, his pain; he's ready to give up. Until he's inexplicably drawn to the newest arrival at Stonebridge Academy.
