Lucas' final year of high school is going exactly the way he planned.
Until a new student shows up.
Rowan is quiet, distant... and somehow, everyone can tell there's something different about him. There's something about him-something that pulls Lucas in, no matter how hard he tries to stay away.
What starts as curiosity turns into something deeper. Something complicated. Something neither of them can control. And by the time Lucas realizes what's happening...
it might already be too late.
What started as anger slowly turned into something Lucas refused to name.
Some feelings don't disappear.
They wait.
In the shadows between us.

the perfect pair
When Isaac Tissera accidentally becomes the target of the most popular girl in school, escaping her attention without destroying his social life seems impossible. Until Nate Bedford offers him a solution: Pretend they're dating. Nate is confident, popular, frustratingly attractive, but worst of all, his older brother's best friend- meaning fake dating him should be a complete disaster. Instead, it works ridiculously well. As rumours spread through school and their fake relationship becomes more convincing by the day, Isaac finds himself caught between what everyone else believes and what he's trying very hard not to feel. But the closer he gets to Nate, the more obvious it becomes that maybe Nate has been keeping some things that Isaac should've known about... And when the truth finally comes out, it threatens to destroy both of them.
