Clara Byrne spends most of her days trying to disappear.
Between a drunk father, a ghost of a mother, and a brother who only ever talks to his screen, she's learned to keep quiet and stay out of the way. Her only escape is the town library, quiet, steady, safe.
Until one afternoon, a voice cuts through the noise of her world.
"Oi! Pretty girl!"
Jamie Wells is everything she isn't, loud, fearless, alive. He makes her laugh in ways she's forgotten how. For the first time, Clara begins to imagine a future that doesn't hurt.
But in a place where bad luck finds good people easily, happiness doesn't last long. One moment changes everything, and Clara is left with a silence even the library can't hold.

Falling for September
Leo meets her without meaning to. She doesn't explain anything. Doesn't stay long enough to be known. She shows up when she wants, leaves when she's done, and expects nothing at all. He lets her.

But the more time he spends with her- the harder it is to ignore that there's something he isn't being told.Complete
What we did that summer
They were only thirteen. Just kids, right? But that summer, everything changed. Katie was gone. And only two people knew what really happened - Jamie Miller, and Y/N, the quiet girl who always sat behind him in homeroom. Jamie wasn't like the other boys. There was something broken in him, something sad and sharp, like a song that never ends. Y/N saw it. She understood him. She loved him - even before everything went wrong. When Katie ends up dead at the bottom of the quarry, the town blames bad luck. But Y/N knows the truth. She was there. She helped cover it up. Not because she had to... but because she couldn't bear to lose Jamie. Now the guilt is catching up, secrets are unraveling, and the line between love and fear is getting harder to see. This isn't just a story about first crushes. It's about what you're willing to do for someone... Even when it destroys you.Complete

Back To You
Madison thought she had closed the door on Tayler forever. Two years ago, she walked away, leaving behind the only boy who ever truly knew her-the one who made her feel safe, seen... and ultimately, shattered. She swore she'd never look back. But now, fate has other plans. Thrown back into each other's lives, Madison tells herself she's over him. That what they had is nothing more than a distant memory. But Tayler? He makes forgetting impossible. He's still the same cocky, flirtatious guy who knows exactly how to push her buttons-and pull her back in. Every lingering glance, every teasing remark feels like a dangerous game, and she's not sure she knows the rules anymore. But between them stands more than just unfinished business. New love, tangled emotions, and the unshakable weight of what once was. Madison knows she should keep her distance, but when it comes to Tayler, that's always been easier said than done. "You still look at me the same way," she muttered, hating the way her voice wavered. Tayler smirked, stepping closer, his voice low and daring. "And you still get flustered when I do." She should leave. She should mean it this time. But what if their story was never meant to end-just to begin again?Complete
