When Amara Bennett leaves home at just ten years old for boarding school, she thinks the hardest part will be missing her family. But she doesn't realize she's also leaving behind the boy who made her believe in love far too early-Adrian.
Their story begins with stolen smiles in the classroom, secret numbers scribbled on folded papers, and late-night calls that feel like forever. But forever doesn't last when strict parents, distance, and heartbreak come crashing in.
Now torn between the innocence of childhood dreams and the harsh reality of growing up, Amara must learn that first love isn't always the last love. But what happens when the boy she could never forget finds his way back into her life?
'Almost Forever' is a coming-of-age romance about music, memory, heartbreak, and the kind of love that lingers long after goodbye.

Almost, Always
Six years of friendship. One unspoken truth. A love too complicated to name-until it's almost too late. Arthur has it all together-or so it seems. A sharp mind, a steady career, and a voice that melts hearts on stage. But when it comes to love, he's been stuck in limbo for years. That's what happens when you fall for your best friend and can't risk losing him. Robert is everything Arthur's not: confident, athletic, emotionally guarded-but always there. For six years, they've built a friendship that borders on something more, something neither of them dares define. As new people enter their lives and the lines between friendship and something deeper blur, Arthur is forced to make a choice: keep waiting for something that might never happen, or finally let go. But just when he chooses to move on, Robert reveals the truth he's been hiding all along. A slow-burn, dual-POV love story about timing, vulnerability, and the kind of love that lingers-Almost, Always. For fans of emotional tension, queer yearning, and stories that hurt just enough before they heal.Complete
Almost Something
Almost Something is a tender, bittersweet coming-of-age story about friendship, first love, and everything that falls in between. Quiet and observant Olive has always found comfort behind the pages of a book - and behind James, the effortlessly charming boy who made her feel seen. What started as shared snacks and inside jokes slowly became something unspoken, almost tangible - almost something. Through school days, camping trips, late-night laughter, and distant stares across crowded rooms, Olive and James walk the line between what is and what could've been. But timing isn't always kind. And sometimes, the people we feel the most for are the ones we never truly get to call ours. Almost Something is a story about moments that almost mattered, the love we're too scared to name, and the quiet hope that maybe - just maybe - it still meant everything.Complete
Friendship and Temptation
Na'Thaniel Black and Amara White have been best friends for as long as they can remember-two lives intertwined since kindergarten. Amara is everything he wants. For years, they've walked the fine line between friendship and something more-caught in a current of stolen glances and unspoken feelings neither dared to confront. But when life throws them together in ways they never expected, boundaries begin to blur, and temptation becomes impossible to ignore. One moment changes everything. A kiss that shouldn't happen. A touch that lingers too long. And suddenly, the friendship they've built for years is hanging by a thread, tangled in passion, fear, and the risk of heartbreak. Because falling for your best friend isn't simple-it's messy, electric, and dangerous. And if they cross the line, there's no going back. A story of longing, loyalty, and love that dares to defy the rules-even when the cost is everything.Complete
What We Never Said
They were constants in each other's lives - the late-night study sessions, the quiet walks between classes, the endless group projects that somehow always ended with just the two of them. Somewhere between friendship and something more, he learned what it meant to feel too much, and she learned the weight of being someone's safe place. But when honesty collided with hesitation, their bond became a fragile balance between what was said, and what was left unsaid. A story about friendship, longing, and the ache of almost.
When We Were Almost
Sarah Delgado never meant to fall for Alvin Reyes. He was her senior by one year, two seats away in art class, and miles away in the world he carried behind his eyes. She didn't know what it was about him maybe the way he wrote in the margins of his notebook like his heart bled in ink, or the silence he wore like armor but she knew she wanted to know him. Alvin wasn't looking for love. He wasn't looking for anything, really just a way to get through the days without falling apart. But Sarah had a way of noticing him, the real him, beneath everything he tried to hide. And maybe that was the beginning of everything and of the slow undoing that followed. When We Were Almost is a story of first love, quiet battles, written from both Sarah's and Alvin's pov. The spaces between words left unsaid.....
