Lies, Loves, and Everything In Between
Freya Skye and Malachi Barton have been inseparable since they were kids-late-night phone calls, shared secrets, and a bond that never really needed words. Somewhere along the way, everything changed. Now, in their junior year, they're still close... just not the way they used to be. Not when Freya is always glancing over her shoulder. Not when Malachi's smile never quite reaches his eyes anymore. Not when the people they're supposed to love are the ones slowly breaking them. Freya is stuck in a relationship that feels more like a cage than love. Malachi is fighting battles he never talks about. And everyone around them can see it-everyone except each other. But little things start to slip through. A flinch that shouldn't happen. A silence that says too much. A look that lingers just a second too long. And when the truth finally comes out-messy, painful, and impossible to ignore-it doesn't just break everything apart. It forces them back together. Because maybe they were never meant to be just friends. Maybe they were just waiting for the moment everything else fell away. But healing isn't easy. Trust isn't simple. And love... love doesn't always come at the right time. Especially when the people who hurt you the most are the ones who refuse to let you go.Complete

When Silence Screams
Freya Skye learned a long time ago how to survive. Behind her quiet smile and gentle eyes is a girl who grew up learning how to be invisible-how to hide bruises, hide fear, and hide pain. Now in high school, she's trying to start over. New friends. New dreams. A new life. No more secrets. No more scars. Or so she thinks. Malachi Barton is everything she should stay away from. He's dangerous in the way broken boys are-silent, intense, and carrying too much anger for someone so young. As Nova's older brother, he's completely off-limits. As the boy who understands her pain without her ever speaking a word, he's impossible to ignore. Malachi has his own demons. Raised in a home that taught him how to endure instead of feel, he learned early that love always comes with pain. He doesn't trust easily. He doesn't open up. Until Freya. What starts as stolen glances turns into late-night conversations. What begins as friendship becomes something darker... deeper... and impossible to control. But secrets don't stay hidden forever. When their pasts collide and the truth threatens to destroy everything they've built, Freya and Malachi must decide: Do they let their trauma define them... Or do they fight for the love that saved them? In a world where they were never protected, they find safety in each other. Sometimes, broken souls don't fall apart. They fall together. 💔❤️Complete

Between Silence & Storms
Freya Skye didn't come to Blackridge Academy to make friends. She came to disappear. After a past she refuses to talk about and rumors that nearly destroyed her, Freya has learned one rule: Stay quiet. Stay invisible. Stay safe. Malachi Barton breaks that rule the moment he notices her. He's everything she isn't-powerful, feared, untouchable. The king of a school built on secrets and reputations. No one challenges him. No one gets close. No one sees the boy behind the walls. Except Freya. What begins as curiosity turns into protection. What turns into protection becomes obsession. And what becomes obsession slowly turns into love. But both of them are hiding scars the world doesn't know about. When Freya's past resurfaces and enemies begin to close in, their fragile peace shatters. Lies spread. Trust breaks. Hearts are tested. And suddenly, love isn't enough to save them. In a world where silence can be deadly and storms never warn you before they hit, Freya and Malachi must decide: Hold on to each other... Or let fear win. A slow-burn, emotional, dark romance about healing, trust, and finding home in the most unexpected person.Complete

Malachi has a reputation for being a player, always with a new girl every week, but Freya has always been different. He has a soft spot for her, even if he'd never admit it.

Now, forced to share the spotlight on the global "Worlds Collide" Tour with friends MK, Kylie, Malia, Joshua, and Dara, they must sing, dance, and pretend to be in sync while barely speaking backstage. But the more they perform together, the harder it becomes to deny the spark that's always been there - the one neither of them planned for. Rivalry turns into tension. Tension turns into chemistry. And somewhere between the spotlight and the silence, Malachi and Freya might just write their most unforgettable song yet: love.Complete
𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓. 𓉘𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶 𝗯𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝘆𝗮 𝘀𝗸𝘆𝗲𓉝
𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐘𝐀 𝐒𝐊𝐘𝐄 has always been used to running alone. Volleyball captain, track star, and the kind of girl everyone admires from afar, she thrives on control-both on the court and on the track. But at home, her parents' wealth can't mask the cold, suffocating cruelty that defines her every day. She's learned early that no one will show up for her... and that's exactly how she likes it. 𝐌𝐀𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐇𝐈 𝐁𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐎𝐍 has the opposite problem: everyone shows up. Football star, track sprinter, and all-around golden boy, he's surrounded by friends, family, and a little sister who worships him. He's used to support, praise, and having people rely on him. Life has always been... easier. They're both popular, in the same tight-knit friend group, and everyone expects them to get along. But Freya and Malachi don't. They clash at every practice, tease each other relentlessly, and can't seem to sit still in the same room without tension sparking between them. What happens when the girl who's learned to survive on her own meets the boy who can't stop trying to protect her? When rivalry becomes something more, and shared spaces-late-night practices, team hangouts, and races that leave them both breathless-force them to confront what they're really running toward... and from? A slow-burn, rivals-to-lovers story about resilience, family, and the courage it takes to finally let someone in. #1 field (08/02/26) #4 freyaskye (08/02/26)
