It's lonely at the top. At least, that's how high school senior Evelyn Carter feels now that her best (and only) friend has moved to Colorado. Evelyn has spent her whole life trying to live up to the expectations shaped by a sister she never met; therefore she never gets too close to anyone who isn't "perfect" and never lets herself want more.
Then she meets Alexandra "Alex" Lane.
Alex is everything Evelyn swears off: sarcastic, always in trouble, skipping school, and doesn't do assignments. But appearances can lie. And just because someone grows up seeing the worst things about themselves doesn't mean it's the truth.
Before they have to work together, Evelyn finds Alex insufferable. Alex finds Evelyn stuck up, but with every interaction the two start to see all the things nobody else sees in each other. And suddenly, neither of them are as ice cold as they seem.

Don't save me.
Sometimes we're not even fully aware of how similar hate and love really are. How closely they sit together, how thin the line is between them. One wrong word, one wrong choice, one moment of fear or anger, and you cross it without even realizing you've done so. That's how it had alwags been with Casey Miller and Olivia Lordan. They didn't hate each other for no reason. There were reasons, plenty of them, actually. Old wounds that never healed right, memories that calcified instead of fading, words spoken too young and carried for too long. But were those reasons valid enough? That was the question no one ever asked out loud. Because validity is subjective. Pain doesn't measure itself against intent. Trauma doesn't care how old you were, or what you meant to do. It just exists, heavy and unrelenting, shaping you whether you want it to or not. Everyone has flaws. Everyone has demons they fight in private. Some people turn inward and rot quietly. Some people explode. Some people run. Some people stay and harden. None of it is clean, and none of it is fair. And maybe that was the cruelest part for them. Not the hate. Not the anger. Not even the silence. But the fact that, once upon a time, it had been love, or something dangerously close to it, and that was what made everything else hurt so much more.

What Silence Remains (Sin of Ruin #2)(COMPLETED)
AVA I was the perfect daughter. The perfect hockey prodigy. The flawless sister. My entire life was engineered around mastery-precision-control. Perfection wasn't a goal; it was the only standard I ever allowed myself to breathe under. Starting at Amok College was supposed to be just another arena to dominate. Then she happened. Zara Lewis-a girl sculpted from chaos, stitched together with fury and defiance, a living storm that didn't bend for anyone. The longer she lingered in my orbit, the more my carefully built edges began to crack. Nothing about us made sense. She was the darkness. I was the light. And yet, somehow, she was pulling me under... and I wasn't fighting it. ZARA Perfection hides rot. I saw that the moment I laid eyes on Ava Solace. She wasn't flawless-she was a walking contradiction, polished on the outside, trembling on the inside. And I wanted her. Needed her. My mind is a hurricane of noise and rage, and she was the only thing quiet enough to cut through it. Ava was my downfall. But she was also the only calm I'd ever tasted.Complete
