Nineteen-year-old Magnolia Whitmore arrives at Diamond Berry University with one goal-disappear. After years of keeping the bruises of a broken home hidden behind sharp wit and a practiced smile, she's ready to start over. Big campus, bigger crowds, and no one to ask questions. Perfect.
But on the very first day, Magnolia catches someone's eye.
Miles Grady, the star pitcher with a golden arm and a golden-boy reputation, watches her shut down a cocky classmate during orientation with a single cutting remark. It's more than her striking hazel eyes that stop him cold-it's the fire she tries to bury and the secrets he senses just beneath her quiet surface.
Miles starts sending anonymous texts, each message a lifeline of words he can't speak out loud. From afar, he admires the girl who wears armor of sarcasm by day and carries invisible scars by night. Up close, he becomes her lab partner, her classmate, the boy who makes her laugh when she least expects it.
But Miles has his own darkness-a pressure to be perfect, a mind that won't stop second-guessing. And as their worlds tangle, Magnolia's past creeps closer, threatening to unravel everything she's built.
Two hearts, each hiding more than they show.
One love story that could break them open-or break them apart.

King of Harts
Emory Hart is a simple woman. She loves her family, enjoys her trips to the book store and to the coffee shop and she can never turn down her best friend when it comes to random nights full of chaos. She's content. All it takes is one run in with the one person she never seemed to win over and a surprise visit from her brother to shift Emory's whole world on its axis. After two years of successfully avoiding him, Emory's "simple" and "content" are about to morph into something a bit more frustrating and confusing and it comes in the form of her brothers best friend. Adrian Harley is a man of control. He's easy going and has charmed his way into the hearts of the entire Hart family. Emory has always been his biggest challenge. It's not because he can't win her over with the same easy going routine he uses with everyone else. It is simply because he can't find himself wanting to. No, what Adrian seeks from Emory is something much more intense. Darker. It's only because of his relationship with her brother that he swallows all of those urges for the sake of his closest friend and his own sanity. When Adrian offers his guest room to his best friend, he comes face to face with the one thing he can't have and his self control begins to snap. Adrian finds himself crossing the one line that was silently drawn when befriending the Harts. The line that leads to the one woman he isn't allowed to want. He's unleashed. Obsessed even. And she thinks he hates her.Kumpleto

Half of My Heart ✔️
how far would you go . . . for someone you love? ♔ Levi steps forward, placing himself between me and Jack. Like he's protecting me from him. But I don't need protecting, certainly not from Jack. "Who do you think you are, dude?" Levi spits, getting in Jack's face. "Look, Scarlett was just helping me out with a proj-" "I'm not your dude," Jack bites, and I want to tear my hair out of my head. This is going downhill very fast. Jack turns to me. "Scar, we need to talk," he says lowly. Then loud enough for Levi to hear, "So can you please get this kid to leave." "Hey, you don't get to come in here and start ordering her around," Levi says harshly. "You don't control her." "And you think that you do?" Jack spits. ♔ When Scarlett moved off to college, she hoped to start anew and find her way in this world alone. Two problems. One: her older brother goes to the same college, and it seems like he's everywhere, keeping her from doing everything she hoped to do as a college freshman. Two: her brother's devastatingly handsome best friend also seems hell-bent on ruining her college experience . . . but in a different way. Their paths keep crossing, and Scarlett is reminded of the powerful attraction that they've both ignored for far too long. Not to mention, a new face begins to occupy everyday Scarlett's thoughts. When Scarlett is paired with an allusive, darkly handsome stranger for a film project, her world begins to open in ways she never thought possible. But as his mystery unravels into dark secrets, she wonders if she's falling a bit too hard. Before long, Scarlett is forced to realize that balancing the hearts of two boys at once just might result in the breaking of her own.Kumpleto
My first love
I took a deep breath. "I know you know," I said. My voice was barely a whisper. The words felt huge in the quiet room. Luca tilted his head. "Know what, Iris?" His eyes searched my face. "My crush," I said. My face burned. "On you." My stomach dropped. The words hung in the air. I didn't even try to lie. There was no point. He had seen it. He had always known. But saying it out loud it burned. I stayed still. My eyes stung. ************ He broke her heart once. This time, he'll destroy anyone who tries to break hers. At twenty-two, Iris Darlington finally has her life moving in the right direction. A dream job. Amazing friends. A future she built without anyone's help. Especially not Luca Whitmore. The man who shattered her teenage heart. The man she's spent years trying to forget. But avoiding Luca becomes impossible when fate throws them back into each other's lives. Because Luca isn't the same man she remembers. He's colder. More powerful. More dangerous. And the way he looks at her now makes it clear that forgetting her was never an option. As old feelings ignite and buried secrets come to light, Iris finds herself caught between the life she's worked so hard to build and the man who could tear down every wall around her heart. In Manhattan, power is everything. Love is weakness. And Luca Whitmore is willing to become a monster if it means keeping Iris safe. Even from himself.

[COMPLETE] Sorry this may be cringe, it was written very long ago A seemingly ordinary, working college girl meets a cool, undeniably sexy boy with millions of followers at his feet. How will their completely different lives allow, or prevent them from getting what they want? Expect some drama, flirty lines, steamy scenes, funny best friends, and perhaps, an overall epic love connection. ~ Carter came around the corner as his eyes darkened with a predatory gaze. Oh no. He took a step forward, minimalizing the distance with every dominating stride, as I froze in my spot. My breath hitched as his arms finally encircled my waist and his eyes locked with mine. In one swift motion, he flipped my body so my back was pressed against his chest and hands gripped the curve of my hips. "What game are you trying to play at Valerie?" he spoke in a husky voice. Goosebumps danced along my skin as his hot breath fanned against the shell of my ear and his fingertips lit a trail of blazing heat along the length of my arm. Mentally shaking myself from the trance of that which is Carter Bryson, I tilted my head towards him and whispered; "One where you'll lose." Quickly escaping his hold on me before the tension became unbearable, I spun on my heel to face him and slowly backed away towards the exit. "Good luck though." I added mischievously. With a smirk and a devilish glint in his eyes that could even give hell a run for its money, he replied; "I'm not a player though, baby. I'm the gamemaker." ~ ❗️Mature content.

His Secret
Amira Hart was never meant to be part of the story. Not the public one, anyway. But behind every polished legacy is the girl no one talks about-the one who was loved in secret, then left in silence. For two years, Amira and Brooks Whitmore IV lived in that silence. He was the President's son, raised for cameras and campaign trails. She was the woman he chose when no one was watching. Their worlds were never meant to meet. The cards were stacked long before they kissed in the dark. Now, two years later, a wedding invitation arrives. His name is on it. So is hers. Told in fragments and flashbacks, His Secret is a quiet storm of a love story-about memory, erasure, and the women history tries to forget.Kumpleto
