"I want them to know I was alive. I want them to know I was here." 
                                               ---
Quentin Clear is wayward. Barely able to hold down a job, money drying up faster than he's able to make it, he is also desperate. With his rent 2 months late and the threat of homelessness looming ever closer, what will he do to remain afloat? 

Sara Clear is sure. Sure that this, her life, is perfect. Complete. The perfect job, the perfect home, and now, the perfect fiancée. The only wrinkle in this glimmering scene is her brother. Insubordinate, reckless, emotional, he is everything that she isn't. And that's why she'd do anything for him.All Rights Reserved

The Art of Falling by EnigmaExplorers

Two worlds. Two dreams. One truth that could change everything. Emily Chen lives her life in careful strokes, painting dreams she's not supposed to want. When Lucas Rivera - star basketball player with a hidden camera and secrets of his own - crashes into her art studio, an accidental spill becomes the masterpiece that changes everything. Their connection is instant. Electric. Forbidden. Because Lucas has a championship title to defend and a single mom counting on his sports scholarship. And Emily has a father who's already chosen her future - one that doesn't include art school or falling for the wrong boy. But in the sanctuary of the dark room where Lucas develops his photographs, and in the quiet moments when Emily's brush dances across canvas, they discover a truth more beautiful than either imagined: Sometimes the most perfect art comes from falling. As their secret relationship deepens, Emily and Lucas must decide what matters more - the dreams their families planned, or the dreams they're only beginning to imagine. With graduation approaching and pressure mounting from all sides, can their love survive when their two worlds collide? A story about art, authenticity, and the courage to choose love over expectations. Because sometimes the scariest falls become the most beautiful flights. "Some accidents become destiny. Some love transforms everything it touches."

But on her first day, her photo is taken by the one boy who will ruin her chances to blend in. All Milo Thompson has ever wanted to do is swim. As a child, the Olympics was his dream. But now, he understands his dreams were unrealistic. Caught between his parents' abusive relationship, he's left to look after his eight-year-old sister.

When they meet and find art as a common ground, they open up to each other more than they ever intended through their work. Milo learns to express his true emotions in more than just his drawings.
