Amelia Mae has a big secret-one nobody knows and one she's spent years learning how to carry alone. She moves through life carefully, keeping people at a distance, mastering the art of seeming fine while quietly unraveling in private. Letting someone see the real her has never felt like an option; it's safer to rely on no one, to expect nothing.
That all changes when she unexpectedly runs into Malachi Barton-the school's golden boy, all effortless confidence and easy charm. He's everything Amelia has trained herself to avoid, and yet somehow, he sees through her walls piece by piece. What starts as fleeting glances and guarded conversations turns into something deeper, something dangerous. For the first time, Amelia considers the possibility that maybe she doesn't have to do everything alone.
But secrets have a way of surfacing, and closeness comes with a cost. As Amelia allows herself to fall, she's forced to confront the truth she's been running from-and the reality that some connections aren't meant to last. What happens when you finally let someone in, only to realize that loving them might mean losing them?

Off Limits | Malachi Barton
Emilia Brooks has known Malachi Barton for as long as she can remember. He was her brother's best friend - the boy who always showed up, always teased her, and always called her Brooks like she was nothing more than a familiar annoyance in the background of his life. Nothing about that ever changed. Until he came back. After months away filming and on tour, Malachi returns for senior year expecting everything to be the same - the same kid sister energy, the same easy jokes, the same distance he never had to think about. But Emilia isn't a kid anymore. She's sharper now. Witty in a way that catches him off guard. Stubborn in a way that makes him want to argue just to keep her talking. And when they're alone, the teasing shifts - his words linger longer, his attention stays longer, and the line between joking and something else starts to blur. The problem is Emilia doesn't see it. To her, Malachi is still Malachi - her brother's best friend, a chronic flirt, and someone who never means what he says. And Malachi? He's starting to realize he might not be joking at all. Because the hardest person to make fall for you... is the one who still thinks you're playing games.Complete
Not Meant to Stay • M.B
In which Olivia Moore always thought that her best friend's co-star, Malachi Barton, was a flirt and a certified heartthrob. He was charming, annoying, and way too confident for his own good-and Olivia made sure he knew she wasn't impressed.

But when her best friend Freya Skye invited her to go on tour with her, something changed. Suddenly, Liv was spending days on end with Malachi and Mekonnen , traveling across America, getting to know them in ways she never imagined. But somewhere between long filming days in New Zealand, the accidental traditions they started, the late-night talks, shared laughter, and moments that felt a little too real, everything changed. She never expected to be in the same room as him without throwing snarky comments-let alone start dating him.Complete
TOUCH IT- malachi barton
in which Brooke Zillman swears she's completely fine with being just Malachi Barton's best friend... even if it's the summer before he leaves for tour, even if every late-night drive feels heavier than it should, and even if "best friend" has never felt this complicated. Brooke Zillman is eighteen, stuck between wanting more and being terrified to lose what she already has. She's been by Malachi's side through everything - auditions, press days, the chaos of growing up in the spotlight - but this summer feels different. It's slower. Softer. Full of almost-confessions and lingering looks that last a second too long. With tour getting closer and time slipping through their fingers, Brooke has to decide if protecting their friendship is worth ignoring the way her heart races every time he smiles at her. Because sometimes the scariest part of change isn't him leaving. It's what happens if he doesn't come back the same.Complete

Said out loud | Malachi Barton
Amelie Blair Rowan is not looking for attention-especially not the kind that comes from a viral confession she never asked for. She's 18, focused on her rising music career, and perfectly content keeping her life separate from Hollywood noise. That is, until a clip surfaces online: Malachi Barton, Disney star and Ariana Greenblatt's old co-star, casually telling a podcast he has a celebrity crush-and naming her. Amelie doesn't know him. Not really. She knows of him. That's all it is supposed to be. But when she attends Ariana's high school graduation, their worlds collide for the first time in person. Malachi is there too, older, confident, and uncomfortably aware that he's already said her name out loud to millions of people. There's no instant romance. No grand connection. Just awkward introductions, unanswered questions, and the uncomfortable reality of being perceived before being known. As Ariana-her best friend and the only bridge between them-keeps pulling their lives into the same space, Amelie and Malachi are forced to navigate what happens when a public moment becomes a very real, very complicated beginning. Because sometimes the hardest part isn't what was said. It's what comes after.Complete
