I wanted this to feel like your favourite childhood story, but matured. Slightly that is.
In The Withering Heart, magic and grief entwine in the gardens of one family. George Davidson tends a dying tree, mourning his mother whose simple last words haunt him into endless confusion.
Find someone... to love.
When a wounded stranger appears at his door, the fragile boundary between sorrow and hope begins to shift. A story of loss, secrets, and the power that blooms only through love. Can George and the mysterious visitor save the withering tree and will George's heart finally align with his mother's final words?
Find someone to love.

Home For The Summer ~ A DreamNotFound FanFic
My first finished book. Inspired by the song Home For The Summer by Sara Kays. This book contains strong language and has a few smut chapters, you can easily skip those if you want as I made sure they don't contain important information about the story :) Clay and George used to be inseparable, but when Clay had to leave the town they had both grown up in together, their friendship slowly faded away. Now, years later, they still hadn't forgotten about each other but were both too scared to reach out to one another. That was, until Clay decided to come home for the summer, going back to the town the two of them had made so many memories in, in the hopes of finding George.
