Backstory: Adrian Vale was born into wealth - the kind that comes with power, respect, and danger. The Vale name carries weight, tied to an empire built on generations of business...and the darker world beneath it. To outsiders, Adrian is everything they envy: charm, fortune, legacy. But behind the tailored suits and expensive watches is a man who wants none of it. Music is his only escape - the piano, the only place he can breathe. In the Vale household, though, passion isn't purpose. His father made that clear: a man's worth comes from numbers, not melodies. When his father dies, Adrian inherits everything he never wanted - the money, the power, the loneliness. Every smile feels fake. Every date, a transaction. So now he tests people, playing the part they expect: the rich bachelor who can buy anyone's affection. Most fall for it. Until Rowan. Rowan Hart grew up in a house that was always one paycheck away from falling apart.Her mother works double shifts, her sister juggles school, and Rowan takes care of her ailing grandfather. Writing was her escape - a way to make sense of the chaos. Then, one night, her words reached someone. One story went viral, and suddenly, Rowan Hart was a name people knew. But success didn't change her heart. She still lives in the same small house, still worries about bills and hospital visits. She's learned that love and honesty mean more than money ever could. When Adrian Vale walks into her life - charming, distant, and too polished to be real and she sees something beneath the surface. Loneliness. The same kind she's written about for years. And maybe, just maybe, the stories she writes aren't just meant to heal her anymore. Maybe what's she's been writing was manifesting him to her.
Clay Hearts
"Some things crack under pressure. Others bloom." In a quiet town where pottery dust clings to the air and secrets settle deeper than clay, two teenage boys find themselves drawn together by something fragile, something real. Peter, an introspective artist who speaks through his sketchbook, has always known the weight of silence and the safety of hiding. Victor, the star rugby player with a sharp smile and aching soul, has spent years running from the truth buried in his chest. When their worlds collide in the school's art studio, what begins as an awkward friendship becomes something neither of them is ready for - or willing to give up. But love, like clay, must be shaped with care. And when pressure mounts - from teammates, from family, from fear itself - both boys must decide what kind of men they want to be. Will they shatter under expectation? Or will they find the courage to bloom - together?Complete
