Maverick Sandoval has spent years building the life he always wanted: a successful tattoo shop, an apartment above it, and his childhood best friend only a flight of stairs away. For as long as he can remember, Johnny has been there. The musician with a guitar in one hand and a notebook full of unfinished songs in the other has been part of every chapter of Maverick's life. Living together is easy. Being best friends is easy. Pretending there isn't something more between them? That's getting harder every day. When Johnny is offered an opportunity that could finally launch his music career, Maverick is forced to confront a fear he's spent years ignoring: what happens if Johnny leaves? As old feelings surface and secrets hidden in song lyrics and tattoo designs begin to unravel, their friendship is pushed to its breaking point. To make things worse, Maverick's twin sister has never forgiven Johnny for rejecting her in high school and isn't afraid to remind everyone of it. Caught between dreams, loyalty, and feelings neither of them know how to name, Maverick and Johnny must decide whether risking their friendship is worth the chance at something more. Because sometimes the person you've been searching for your entire life has been right beside you all along.

How can you be an orphan when your mother still pays for you? This is the painful question sixteen-year-old Vanya asks herself every day. Her mother's monthly visits to the orphanage aren't fueled by love, but by cold, crisp cash, a payment to keep Vanya a secret. Her father's existence is defined by his absolute rejection. Vanya is the childhood that never got to bloom..*The Lost Spring*. But Vanya's greatest pain is also her biggest secret. Her mother's first marriage yielded three handsome, powerful, and successful adult sons who are Vanya's *half-brothers*. They live a life of unquestioned luxury, entirely unaware of the hidden daughter who shares their blood. When a chance encounter shatters the rigid boundary between Vanya's world and theirs, the family's sixteen-year lie begins to crumble. The truth will tear their privileged world apart. But for Vanya, is exposing the secret worth the risk of losing the only family she's ever truly yearned for?
