Emerielle Rose Gilmore has lived more in hospitals than in the world outside them. Nineteen and sickly, she writes down the life she's never touched in a simple checklist: taste, laughter, love. She doesn't ask for forever, only enough to matter.
Nikolai Reis Pierce, twenty-four, is a medical student raised in the shadow of his father's hospital. Brilliant, distant, untouchable-until the girl in Room 314 lingers in his thoughts longer than she should.
Almost Everything asks the quiet question we all fear: when forever isn't possible, can the fragments we gather-the laughter, the love, the fleeting moments-still be enough to call it a life?

The Aid
*MAJOR EDITS/REWRITE IN PROGRESS* Evie has dealt with her fair share of traumatic events, and she just wants to focus on college and her beloved paintbrushes and bass guitar. Harry is just beginning to deal with the most traumatic events of his life: cancer and the American healthcare system, respectively. The two fellow students meet on a bus when Harry notices a stranger following her, and he walks her home to make sure she's safe. Months later, when she learns about his diagnosis, Evie returns the favor in the only way that makes sense: by marrying him. It's meant to be just on paper. She's merely helping him out financially through her mom's health insurance plan. Neither of them expects this simple favor to come with growing worry that turns into a reluctant friendship, which then spirals completely out of control before either can stop it. But it does, and now they're dealing with it in their own unique ways: Evie ignores it, and Harry ignores her ignoring it. // TW: cancer, strong language, alcohol/underage drinking, mentions of substance abuse, mentions of physical abuse, sexual content

BOUND (1 of 3)
Arabella Christensen has always known how to survive. Raised in the wreckage of a broken home and trapped in a cycle of addiction, Bella has learned to keep her heart locked behind sarcasm, ink-stained skin, and a lifetime of bad decisions. She's used to the ache, the chaos, the pull of men who promise everything and leave her emptier than before. Then, there's Dylan Barrett. Her best friend. Her what-if. A tattooed twenty-something with too much charm, too many secrets, and a heart that beats louder than he'll admit. Dylan is all mystery and rough edges, but he's someone who sees her when she can barely look at herself. Someone who stays, even when she gives him every reason not to. As Bella fights to stay clean and build a future that doesn't burn her alive, she finds herself caught between the man who's always had her heart, the past that refuses to let go, and the terrifying possibility that love might not be a lie after all. In a world where survival has always meant staying untouchable, can Bella learn to be held? Raw, emotional, and deeply human, Bound is the first book in a gripping character-driven trilogy about trauma, healing, and the kind of love that refuses to let go-even when everything else does.Complete
I Would've Loved You Longer
Seventeen-year-old Adrie Callahan has always been the weird girl-too short to be seen, too loud to be taken seriously, too sick to matter. Diagnosed with terminal leukemia, she's told she may not live to see her nineteenth birthday. With her world shrinking to a hospital room and a number on a chart, she shuts everyone out-nurses, doctors, even her own parents. Until Joss Hartley, a new nurse, strolls into her room with a crooked smile and refuses to treat her like she's already gone. Joss is older. Handsome. The kind of person everyone in the ward crushes on. And Adrie hates him for it. For his optimism. His warmth. His persistence. But mostly, for making her laugh when she swore she wouldn't. What begins as irritation slowly unravels into friendship. And then, something more-something aching and forbidden and desperately beautiful. But love was never part of Adrie's plan. Not when she's on borrowed time. In the end, how do you say hello to your first love, knowing you'll also have to say goodbye?Complete
