Ivy Callahan hasn't spoken in two years.
Silence is the only thing that's ever kept her safe-from her father's rage, her mother's addiction, and a world that never cared enough to listen.
Then Rowan Blake transfers to her school. He's patient, kind, and haunted by his own past. Where others hear nothing, Rowan hears everything she's too scared to say.
In a town full of noise and secrets, two broken souls learn that sometimes, the quiet between them is where the healing begins.

In the halls lined with whispers and the nights thick with smoke, they learn that love can be as destructive as the wounds that shaped them.Complete

WHERE WINTER BLOOMS
Sometimes, first love isn't a person. It's the first time someone truly sees you. Nathan sings in silence. No one knows he does. No one asks why he stopped shining. Ryan pretends he's fine. No one notices he's breaking inside. A paper plane connects them. An empty theater listens. And in the middle of the world's noise, two boys find in music a language more honest than words. But growing up hurts. Loving hurts more. And the fear of disappointing those who should protect you can be louder than any melody. This story is for those who've ever felt like they didn't belong. For those who carry invisible wounds and still dare to dream. For those who know that love doesn't always shout... sometimes, it just sings.
Threading Back to You

Rowan: not just artificial, not just assigned-but something more. Something real. A protector. A soul. In a world that told her to forget, Angela tried. But she never stopped listening. Not completely. Not when her memories still buzzed with static and blue light. Not when the thread between them never really broke. Now, in a city where nothing feels like home, and the past hums just beneath the noise, Angela feels it again-that quiet pull. Something's shifting. And somewhere out there, Rowan is waking up. A story of found family, fractured identity, and love that defies design, Threading Back to You is what happens when memory becomes map... and even the lost can find their way home.

Ivy Raines is a contradiction wrapped in smoke and velvet - witchcraft in her veins, heartbreak on her tongue. She's spent years trying to rebuild herself after burning her past to the ground... but one ghost keeps crawling back through the cracks. Nathaniel Cole.

She took his virginity, his faith, and his peace of mind, leaving him with nothing but guilt and memory of her touch. Now, years later, they talk like friends. They smoke, they laugh, they pretend. But the air between them still hums with electricity - an unspoken promise neither of them can stop breaking. Ivy wants redemption. She wants to be more than the sin he hides in the dark. Nathaniel wants her body, her defiance, her chaos - everything but her heart.

Each cigarette, each stolen glance, each whispered word threatens to pull them back into the fire they swore they'd never touch again. But desire is a religion. And they've always been devout.Complete
