I, June Percy, study at Valence Academy, where I have spent most of my time invisible. Life for me is not easy. I go through the torment of bullies, complicated relationships, and loving someone when all of the odds are against us. And every good and bad part of my life leads to that day, the day I met the town's notorious badass, Dean Kingsley. In matters of the heart, the fact that it's never easy is the biggest understatement of the century. Our love was brillinatly passionate. It was, in a word, incandescent.
The code I live by in my life is relatively simple: nothing worth having comes easy, ever.

Always Been You
Some people grow up with childhood friends. I grew up with Noah Lancaster. Two years without Noah by my side, and I thought I'd changed. I'd grown into my own person, no longer the girl who needed protecting. But stepping into the prestigious halls of St. James proved I was wrong. Surrounded by strangers who make it painfully clear I don't belong to their world, it's all too easy to fall back into old patterns. And Noah... like the constant he's always been, pulls me back into his orbit. Only he's not the same boy I remember. He's sharper now. More calculated. More intense. There's something in him I can't quite name, a quiet shift in the air around him, like the moment before a storm breaks. They say university is where you find yourself. I never thought I'd find myself in the middle of something I couldn't walk away from... or explain to the police.

Fragments of Us Two (English Version)
At the university where the hallways hide secrets and parties are battlegrounds for unspoken rivalries, Dean Withers has everything under control-or at least pretends to. President of the most influential fraternity on campus and host of a podcast that's gaining traction, he's mastered the art of commanding attention while keeping the cracks hidden. Lyanna Beaumont, on the other hand, finds comfort in the silence of books and the safety of the few people she trusts. After a rocky start at university, the last thing she expected was to be noticed by Dean-someone from a world completely different from her own. Through chance encounters, subtle glances, and conversations that reveal more than they should, the two begin to realize they might have more in common than they thought: a fear of trust, the weight of expectations, and the feeling that something inside them is breaking. But in a place where everything can be used against you, even the most honest emotions need to be protected. And when the masks begin to fall... what fragments will be left behind?

Deeper

"You know damn well what I mean." "I don't know what you're talking about." I pretend to ignore him, flipping some pages in my book. "Come on. I have all these assignments waiting. Aren't you supposed to teach me tonight?" "It depends on what you want me to teach."

In Between Us
We're not together. But we're not just friends either. Late-night messages. Almost-kisses. Unspoken feelings hidden behind casual conversations and coffee shop meetups. They never defined what they were-because definitions meant boundaries, and boundaries meant limitations. So they kept it simple. No labels. No promises. Just a connection that felt too real to be nothing... and too fragile to be something. But when emotions get too loud to ignore, and hearts begin to want more-what happens in between us can either bring them closer, or tear them apart. A modern love story about almost, uncertainties, and the kind of heartbreak you can't name.Complete
