After catching her boyfriend cheating, nineteen-year-old Lena Hayes packs a bag and walks out without looking back. With nowhere else to go, she ends up crashing at a friend's brother's place - a man she's never met but instantly wishes she hadn't.
Aiden Cole is twenty-three, arrogant, blunt, and has zero interest in sharing his space with anyone, especially a heartbroken stranger. He doesn't do relationships, doesn't do emotions, and definitely doesn't do kindness.
But when he finds her late one night, eyes red and hands shaking, something in him shifts. Just a little.
What starts as a tense arrangement soon becomes something more - a battle of stubborn hearts, stolen glances, and words left unsaid. Because sometimes the person you least expect is the one who makes you feel again.
A slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers story about heartbreak, healing, and the danger of falling for someone who swore they'd never care.

After The Fall (TriggerWarning) (First Edition) (Rough Draft)
One stormy night, two strangers break at the same time-one on the edge of a rooftop, the other already sinking. When Aiden Rivers pulls Brinleigh Hayes back from the ledge, neither of them realizes how deeply that moment will carve into their lives. By morning, rumors spread faster than lightning, painting them as heroes, victims, liars, lovers-anything except what they actually are: two broken teenagers trying to survive a world that keeps asking the wrong questions. Aiden is the golden boy everyone trusts. Brinleigh is the girl no one sees until they want something to talk about. Together, they navigate whispers, cruelty, sleepless nights, and the fragile truth that saving someone isn't the same as healing. But when a school retreat goes horribly wrong and the two are trapped overnight by a cruel prank, everything changes. Secrets slip out in the dark. Walls crack. And for the first time, they see each other-really see. They aren't each other's fix. They're each other's proof that staying alive is worth the fight. A slow-burning, heart-wrenching contemporary story about trauma, survival, whispered honesty, and choosing to keep breathing-one quiet moment at a time.

A jazz musician with quiet eyes and a voice that felt like smoke, Julian isn't like anyone she's ever known. He doesn't chase her. He doesn't try to fix her. He just sees her - and that's what makes him dangerous. What starts as a coincidence quickly turns into oxygen. But loving someone like Julian means confronting every fear, every flaw, and every part of herself she's tried to bury. This isn't a love story with perfect endings. It's a story about choosing someone again and again - even when it hurts. Especially when it hurts.Complete
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.

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
