When seventeen-year-old (Y/N) moves in with the Walter family after losing her leg to osteosarcoma, she's ready to start over - or at least, to remember what it feels like to be seen again. Her family couldn't handle her pain, her friends drifted away, and now she's stuck learning to live with the pieces of herself she thought she lost.
Enter the Walters - loud, loving, chaotic - and Cole.
He's everything (Y/N) isn't ready for: guarded, stubborn, and drowning beneath the weight of his own secrets. To everyone else, he's cold and distant. But to (Y/N), he's honest in ways that scare her - and safe in ways she never expected.
Between late-night jam sessions, quiet talks on the rooftop, and forming a new band with Nathan, (Y/N) slowly finds her rhythm again. But life in the Walter house isn't easy - and neither is falling for someone still haunted by his past.
As the music grows louder and emotions run deeper, (Y/N) learns that healing isn't about going back to who you were - it's about finding who you are now. And maybe, just maybe, love can sound like the song that saves you both.

OBSESSION. too personal
This could have been a gentle story for quiet autumn evenings. But it shattered against Morphine - a chapter that will not let you stay indifferent. And now, you'll understand why. This is not a story about perfect love. It's about healing through pain, about love that blooms after trauma, and about the fragile line between salvation and obsession. She is a woman rebuilding herself from the ashes. Not strong - simply real. A mother. A fighter. A writer whose words cut deeper than truth itself. She doesn't want to be someone's muse - she only wants to be understood. He is the man the world worships... and fears. A legend. A symbol of an era. But behind the fame, there's a man haunted by his own darkness. Together, they are fire and gasoline - two broken souls learning how to love without losing themselves. Their story isn't a fairytale. It's an age-gap dark romance about redemption, grief, and the courage to love again. With touch. With words. With silence between the lines.Complete

Normani is use to being in control-of her body, her home, and especially her heart. A stunning, single mother and seasoned flight attendant, she knows better than to entertain distractions. But when her son comes home from college for the summer and brings his best friend with him, all bets are off. Zane is tall, tatted, and built like temptation in human form-confident, cocky, and way too grown for his own good. He's got bedroom eyes, a mouth full of slick charm, and zero shame in how hard he flirts with her. She knows he's trouble. She knows he's off-limits. But every night, he's just down the hall... Because temptation has never looked this good. And it might just be the best worst decision she's ever made.Complete

Kept.......(#1 of the Love series)
He wasn't offering kindness. He just didn't shut the door. I said I could cook. I lied. I said I wasn't a thief. I lied again. But for some reason, he let me stay. And that's when everything started to hurt less. Kai doesn't trust people. He trusts what they leave unguarded. Living on the streets has made him quick with his hands and quicker with lies. When he spots Elias - calm, unreadable, alone - he sees an easy mark. But Elias doesn't react the way he should. He doesn't panic. He doesn't question. He offers Kai a place to stay. No strings. No rules. No locked doors. Kai tells himself it's temporary. He tells himself it's survival. He doesn't expect to feel safe. He doesn't expect to start wanting to stay. And he definitely doesn't expect that staying will bring everything he ran from crashing back into his life.

Living with the Walters came with rules. Rule number one? Don't fall for him. Which was fine - I couldn't stand him anyway.
