Delilah Fray is dead. On the inside, anyway. After an unnamed incident at the end of her sophomore year, unable to verbalize what her life has come to and unable to voice the problems, the only voice (and solace) Delilah is able to find comes in the form of music.
Ben Hall was the cause, although he doesn't know it yet. Unable to get piano girl out of his head, he finally ends up befriending her.
And it's a little too perfect.
But what happens when Delilah finally uncovers the behind-the-scenes moments of that night, and worse, learns that Ben was directly involved in the very thing that tore her life apart?

Keeping Secrets
Peyton has always been the girl who flies under the radar-ordinary, average, never one to stand out. But that all changes on her first day of college when she's struck by a football and knocked to the ground in front of the football team, and even worse-her over-the-top, dramatic mother. The one good thing to come from the humiliating event: she meets Max, the campus' charming and popular football star. Their unlikely friendship pulls her into a world she's never known, giving her all-access to exclusive parties and the popular crowd. But it also sparks jealousy and draws the kind of attention she never asked for. Things get even more complicated when Peyton falls for Beau, the irresistible guitarist of Trudge Lite, the up-and-coming band everyone's talking about. She knows he's the ultimate heartbreaker and tries to keep things casual. Caught between wanting what she shouldn't, navigating shifting friendships, and keeping secrets that grow heavier by the day, Peyton soon realizes that some lines aren't so easy to draw, let alone keep. Trying to balance it all, Peyton and Max keep up careful charades, not only from those around them but also from each other. Soon they'll learn that secrets have a way of unraveling, no matter how carefully they're guarded. Peyton will have to decide what and who she's willing to risk it all for.Complete

WHERE WINTER BLOOMS
Sometimes, first love isn't a person. It's the first time someone truly sees you. Nathan sings in silence. No one knows he does. No one asks why he stopped shining. Ryan pretends he's fine. No one notices he's breaking inside. A paper plane connects them. An empty theater listens. And in the middle of the world's noise, two boys find in music a language more honest than words. But growing up hurts. Loving hurts more. And the fear of disappointing those who should protect you can be louder than any melody. This story is for those who've ever felt like they didn't belong. For those who carry invisible wounds and still dare to dream. For those who know that love doesn't always shout... sometimes, it just sings.
