When Elena Calhoun, a golden girl with perfect grades and a storm she hides behind a smile, meets Rhett Curtis, a high school dropout with a broken heart and too much weight on his shoulders. They create their own storm. They weren't supposed to fall in love but they did, fast and deep and real. From gas station sparks to dancing in the rain, they find each other in the in between. Between pain and healing, between silence and poetry, between letting go and holding on. When pressure, pride, and fear threatens to pull them apart. Rhett and Elena must choose between what's expected and what sets their hearts on fire.
Told in a dual POV and full of aching emotion, slow burn magic, and soft hope. The Ones Who Hide The Storm is a love story about two people who break, rebuild, and learn that maybe... some storms are meant to be weathered together.

Halfway To Forever
They started as classmates, then friends, then something that didn't quite fit any word. The problem? Neither of them were ready to call it love. They never meant to fall for each other. It just happened quietly, in glances that lingered too long and silences that said too much. What started as teasing and shared notes turned into something heavier, something neither of them dared to name. Elena swears she's fine keeping it undefined, even when her heart stumbles every time his eyes find hers. And Noah he hides behind jokes, behind that easy confidence, pretending he doesn't care when he clearly does. It's the kind of almost love that burns slow, the kind that ruins you softly. Between laughter and denial, comfort and confusion, they walk the line between friendship and something more, too scared to cross it, too scared to let go. __ Friends to something less than lovers, more than bestfriends.
