A grieving young woman and an ornery young man. One might think these two would have no chemistry. However, that was anything but the truth. The two individuals first met on a quiet beach by accident. Somehow, with genuine words and some bad humor, they grew close in a matter of hours. He saves her life, and by doing so, saves himself in the process. It is a story of two people who rely on one another at first but learn to be better people over time. They teach each other things they might have never known, and they fall in love in a way that is unique to only them. Look no further if you want a deep and emotional romance that you will NOT regret reading!

Moving across the ocean at sixteen wasn't part of the plan. New school, stupid uniforms, and helping at her dad's crappy gas station wasn't either. But here she is-refilling refrigerators at midnight, carrying boxes with broken tape, and counting down the days until she can leave. Two years later, Maria's still stuck. Still bitter. Still haunted by the life she didn't choose. And then he shows up- In a loud, beat-up car. With the kind of attitude that sets her teeth on edge. She doesn't like him. Doesn't want to. But maybe he's just as messed up as she is. Maybe he sees her darkness and doesn't flinch. And maybe... just maybe... gasoline burns better with a match.
Soft Silence | β | unedited
"Being mute isn't a disability. It just means that God loves you so much that He took away your voice so that you don't hurt others verbally. You see, He doesn't want you to do what others are doing to you." β β β β β β β When Sierra Bloom suffers a tragedy that costs her both her family and her voice, she shuts down every bit of emotion and passion within her and brings out a new and cold her that doesn't like being around people and things that are easy to get attached to. Enter David Hale. Cheerful, bright, friendly -a shocking contrast to her cold, closed off personality. Not only does David do things she dislikes, he also does not know when to give up on her. What is Sierra supposed to do when he keeps bringing out the old her and makes her forget the tragedy she caused? The answer is obvious; shut him out and run away. That's the solution.... right? β β β β β β β β This book was written in 2013, back when I was still pretty much a kid. It hasn't been edited and there are many issues I find with it.

Echoes of Us
He was alone, adrift in a life that felt empty, teetering on the edge of despair. She appeared unexpectedly-a stranger, yet someone who could see him in ways no one else ever had. One night, one moment, changed everything. Words were exchanged, hearts opened, and lives were altered but some encounters leave more than memories. They leave echoes. As time stretches on, love and loss weave together, shaping the paths we walk, the choices we make, and the people we become. How far would you go to hold onto someone... even when you know they can't stay?Complete
You're Like Heaven to Touch
"You don't really like to open up, do you?" The words startle me, seemingly jagged and impure in contrast to the light and beautiful atmosphere we were in. "I didn't say that." Asher snorted, "You didn't have to." I was quiet for a moment, looking out to the beach and resting my cheek on my knee. "It- It's not that I don't like to," I struggled to find the words good enough to explain. "I just think, maybe, I don't know how to anymore." Asher stares at me for a moment, eyes filled with an emotion that I can't put my finger on. I turn to face him properly, almost gasping when he appears much closer than I remembered. Before I can turn the moment into a joke, he speaks. "Well, if you ever want to learn again, I'll always be right here, Willa. I'm always right here." * Willa Montgomery didn't expect to be uprooted for her last summer before college, but two weeks in, here she is: Santa Monica, California. Willa hasn't had the best life as of recent, and with the impending damage of her parents messy divorce getting harder and harder to avoid, her mom decides the best place for her to be is anywhere but home. Enter Sylvia Edwards, Willa's mother's best friend since middle school, and Willa's godmother. Sylvia is more than glad to host Willa for the entire summer, opening up her beautiful home to her immediately. And with that beautiful home comes the beautiful Asher Edwards, and a whole bunch of memories Willa wasn't even aware she had. Living in a house with Asher, the sweetest yet most persistent guy to exist is both heartwarming and dangerous all at once, because soon enough, the barriers Willa spent years building around her fragile heart are coming down- and fast. Willa had never realized how frozen she was until Asher started to melt her ice. With eyes like oceans, a smile like honey and a touch like heaven. cover by @stylesoftimothee
The Quiet Between Us
It's not a love story. It's the ache of wanting someone you were never meant to want. She didn't plan to feel anything. He wasn't even supposed to be the doctor. What was meant to be a routine appointment stirred something deeper-a quiet ache, a forbidden pull. In the space between silence and small talk, her world shifted. This is a true story of unexpected emotional connection, of chemistry that whispered instead of shouted, and of the blurred lines between care and curiosity. It's not a love story. It's a story of awareness. Of reflection. Of the quiet ache of wanting- someone you were never supposed to want anything from.

Cynical Souls
COMPLETEDβ Two high school teenagers finding themselves, analyzing this ever changing world, and building love. This is the type of love you wish you found in high school but probably know way too well that it only exists as fiction. Today I'm turning my fiction to reality. β£οΈβ’β’β’β£οΈ Excerpt: Just as I was about to seek shelter under some building's roof, the tires of a car come to a halt, I wonder who might pity the lonely girl walking in the rain. The passenger window rolls down, and I spot the most unexpected person seated behind the wheel. "Get in" comes out his voice, and I must've stood there agape for a few moments because next comes his rhetorical question. "Are you getting in or continuing walking in the rain?" Eyebrows raised expectantly. He sounds annoyed, like he regrets his decision to ever stop and help me. β£οΈβ’β’β’β£οΈ #5 in cynical #2 in loveandfriendship #1 in opinionated #4 in ihatelife #10 in nerdgirl #10 in HighschoolRomance #26 in GoodGirlBadBoy *contains mature themes. *contains cursing.Complete
The Unbreakable Thread Of LOVE
What is Love? Is it merely a fleeting emotion, or could True Love truly last forever? What of the elusive Thread of Love-is it strong enough to endure the trials of time, or can it snap under the weight of despair? And what of love at first sight? Is it a genuine phenomenon, or simply a figment of our imagination? Picture this: a Girl meets a Boy for the first time, and in that moment, they discover feelings that ignite something deep within them-something they never knew existed. What is this sensation that takes hold of their hearts? But how did they come to meet? Ah, that is where the story unfolds. They encounter each other during a practice-a practice that seems mundane at first but holds the potential for something extraordinary. What kind of practice, you ask? That's for you to discover later, as revealing too much now would spoil the thrill of the journey ahead. Yet, let's not ignore the shadows that linger over the Girl. Before this moment, she was shrouded in darkness, carrying a burden that weighed heavily on her heart. Why does she hurt so deeply? Trust me, you'll come to understand her pain-and perhaps, you'll find that in the depths of their shared experiences, they may forge an unbreakable bond that even the harshest trials cannot sever. The tale is just beginning. Stay tuned, for the true essence of their story lies ahead, waiting to be unraveled.Complete
