    Nobody pays attention to the details until it's way too late. The routine becomes normal, and nobody ever questions it. We feed our egos on that toxic feeling of believing we're the main characters in our own movie, opening the door to a change in minds that were never prepared to digest the world we've inherited. From there, hidden feelings sprout, eventually mutating into something that once seemed unimaginable trapped in the classic obsession of thinking that sitting back with your arms crossed and waiting for everything to fix itself on its own is a valid option. It's pure emotional immaturity disguised as wisdom to impress others and, along the way, fool ourselves while trying to fit into an environment where empathy wears away in silence, shrinking until it becomes a distant echo. ​Coming to this point, the big question is: is mastering our own mental domain really the goal, or will the truly difficult part be surviving it? Thoughts can drift toward the unusual, though... what even is normal? What has always been? Maybe it's better to just stay prepared. Just in case at any moment, we need to run, and we find out we no longer even know how to recognize evil-even when it's staring us right in the face.

    🖤 THE ART OF LOVING HER "You are going to marry him." My father's words made my entire world stop. "But... I don't even know him." "You don't need to." For eighteen years, Kohinoor Mehra learned one thing- Silence keeps you safe. She never questioned her father. Never asked for more. Never told anyone what happened behind the closed doors of the Malhotra mansion. Until one evening, her life was decided over a business deal. A marriage. With Adhiraj Vardhan. A man she had spoken to only once. "Are you ready to marry me?" I wanted to say no. I wanted to run. But all I could do was nod. And just like that, Kohinoor's future was no longer hers to choose. "Congratulations, Noor." Rudransh's voice whispered behind her. "Now let's see how long you survive this new life." A forced marriage. A family full of secrets. A girl who has forgotten how to speak for herself. And a man whose decision to marry her may have a reason she doesn't know yet. But what happens when Kohinoor steps into a life she never chose? And what happens when the girl who spent her entire life hiding... can no longer hide?

    For twenty-one years, Easton Brooks has known exactly where he belongs, on his family's wheat farm in the tiny town of Pine Ridge, Montana. A basketball scholarship to Redmont University was never supposed to change that. It was simply an opportunity, one he's worked his entire life for and one he refuses to waste. But between the expectations of being Redmont's biggest transfer, a campus that feels impossibly large, and the pressure to prove he deserves every minute on the court, the confidence everyone else sees begins to crack. Behind closed doors, panic attacks become harder to hide and the future he's always dreamed of starts to feel terrifying instead. Bree Watson knows better than anyone what basketball can take away. As the daughter of Redmont's head coach, she's spent years building a life that exists everywhere except inside the college basketball program. But some memories refuse to stay in the past and some wounds never truly heal. When she stumbles across a hopelessly lost transfer student during orientation week, helping him find his way seems like nothing more than an act of kindness. Bree has no idea that the quiet farm boy with freckles, an easy smile and a terrible sense of direction is Redmont's newest basketball star, and Easton has no idea the girl who helped him find his first class is the one person every player has been warned to stay away from. As chance encounters become shared electives, late-night study sessions and afternoons coaching Bree's young basketball team, she discovers there's far more to Easton than the player the crowd chants for every game. Behind the spotlight is someone who misses home, carries the weight of impossible expectations and is quietly fighting battles no one else can see. Sometimes home isn't a place. Sometimes it's the person who reminds you who you were before the world told you who you had to become. *Redmont University Novel #1*

    Daryn Taylor has always known what he wants. With a promising career at a high-end magazine in Los Angeles, his life is finally moving in the direction he planned-structured, focused, and under control. Then he meets Alessia. Confident, independent, and impossible to ignore, she enters his life at the perfect time. What starts as a chance connection quickly turns into something deeper-effortless, natural, and real in a way neither of them expected. And for the first time, Daryn stops questioning everything. Alessia doesn't talk much about her past. But he doesn't push. Because when something feels right, you don't go searching for reasons to doubt it. As their relationship grows, so does the life they begin to build together-one filled with shared moments, quiet understanding, and the kind of connection that feels meant to be. But not everyone is convinced. And sometimes... the questions you don't ask don't stay unanswered forever. Conjunction is a story about love, trust, and the moments that bring two lives together-long before either of them realizes what it might cost.

    The Loser's Dream Logline: Over 365 days, a man finally sits with everything he's spent his life feeling and avoiding - anxiety, romance, fear, sadness, and every shade between - and finds that the self he shows the world and the self he carries inside have been living two different lives. Synopsis: Every day starts the same way: he wakes up into two worlds at once. The outer one is easy to describe - a guy getting through the day, saying what people say, doing what needs doing, looking to anyone watching like he's got it handled. The inner one is harder to explain, even to himself. Some days it's anxiety, arriving before his eyes are even open. Some days it's romance, hoping too hard and hiding it badly. Some days it's a fear with no name attached, or a sadness that never asks permission. Across 365 days, nearly one for every feeling he's never let himself sit with, the distance between who he is out there and who he is in here starts to close - not because he solves anything, but because he finally stops keeping the two apart.
