Romance
Aurora Grace White has never known anything else but music. She spends her days in her room playing her violin for hours on end. From compositions by Beethoven to her own. She knows it's her calling and what she's meant to do. But when she goes away to college, she realizes that music won't take her very far in life except to the nearest open mic night at the local bar. She struggles to continue her passion in music, or to put away her violin in the closet forever. Dean Oliver Norris just graduated with a degree in instrumental performing arts for cello, piano, and guitar. He found himself after only four years of school, at 21, as the assistant teacher to the music professor by his local university. He's very confident in his music, like most of the kids in his first ever music class. But when he sees Aurora who sits towards the back, who's very quiet and humble in her music, he can't help but notice why because she's the best he's ever seen. Dean helps Aurora try to find her calling in music, and helps her find how deep her talent is. But the more time he spends with her, the more he falls in love with her. Aurora struggles to let Dean inside her head, inside of her music, because the last time she let someone see the true her, they humiliated her in front of them. Ever since, she's never let anyone else in. But she has feelings, deep feelings, for Dean, and she can't hide them. As Aurora and Dean fall in love, they both discover that their passionate love for music makes them one whenever they play together and it makes them better. But trouble arises as they struggle to be together because she is a student, and he's a teacher. He has a job he loves, and could risk it all by being with Aurora. He refuses to let her go, but now he has to figure out to if he should keep the job he loves or play music with the girl he loves.

Emma Beaumont and Noah Cullen have been inseparable since high school, their friendship built on years of laughter, late-night talks, and unspoken emotions. Now, as students at the University of Toronto, their bond remains strong. But everything shifts when they are assigned to a group project with Logan Davis, a charismatic newcomer from California. The trio quickly forms a close friendship, but beneath the surface, emotions begin to stir. Logan finds himself falling for Emma, drawn to her warmth and intelligence. He doesn't know that Noah harbors feelings for her too-feelings he's buried for years, afraid to jeopardize their friendship. Fast forward to graduation, and the three make plans to celebrate. But when Noah is pulled away to take over his father's company, Cullen Industries, Emma and Logan spend the evening together. A simple movie night becomes something more-a deep, meaningful conversation that makes Logan certain of his feelings. He decides he's going to confess. But before he gets the chance, Emma texts him days later with news that shatters his heart-she and Noah are now a couple. Logan is devastated. That same night was supposed to be his moment, but instead, he is left alone with his unspoken love. Unable to handle the pain, he distances himself, ghosting both Emma and Noah. Emma, confused and hurt by Logan's sudden withdrawal, reaches out. When he finally responds, it's with raw honesty-he confesses his feelings but also his anger, his hurt, and his sense of betrayal. Torn between love and loyalty, Emma must face the truth: was her heart always meant for Noah, or did she overlook something deeper with Logan?
