Ivy Marquez thought summer was supposed to be a break from heartbreak. A chance to breathe, to live for herself, to save enough for her dream trip to New York-without anyone knowing, not even her mother.
But New York has a way of upending plans. She meets new friends, finds unexpected connections, and discovers that some hearts are harder to outrun than others.
She hasn't always been lucky in love, so she vowed to quit. But the seasons are changing, the dust is settling, and she's running out of excuses not to open her heart again.
Especially when Christopher Gonzales shows up-with flowers in hand, pleading eyes, and promises to love her completely... all while hiding a dirty little secret that could destroy them both, maybe even for good.
Honest feelings collide with messy timing, and Ivy learns the cruelest lesson of all: love doesn't wait, hearts don't forgive, and secrets... wound deeper than betrayal ever could.
Her life was supposed to be free of strings. But this summer, she finds herself tangled in one she might never escape.

Pieces of My Heart: Novelty
What if every story you've never said out loud... finally found its way onto paper? Pieces of My Heart: Novelty isn't just a collection of short stories-it's a glimpse into a heart that feels too much, thinks too deeply, and loves too quietly. Each chapter holds a different world. Different characters. Different endings. Some will make you smile... others might leave you shattered. Some stories are real. Some are "what ifs." The confessions I never had the courage to say. The choices I wish I made. The moments I can never go back to. Every piece carries a fragment of me. This book is messy, raw, and honest-just like life itself. You might find yourself in certain lines. You might feel something you tried to bury. And maybe, just maybe, you'll understand the parts of me I could never explain out loud. Inspired by personal memories and fleeting words that once lingered in my mind, Novelty embraces the beauty of something new, something vulnerable, something real. It's an emotional roller coaster-one that may leave you breathless, reflective... and seen. This is more than just a book. It's a quiet confession. A safe place. A mirror of a soul, revealed piece by piece.
