Grief changes people. For Iona rose White, it rewrote her entire life. After the death of her parents, Iona leaves Scotland behind and moves to Ballylaggin, carrying more than just her belongings with her. She carries trauma, depression, and memories she refuses to talk about. Over time, she finds friends who become her anchor, moments of happiness she didn't think she deserved, and a sense of belonging she never expected. But healing takes time. And sometimes it hurts before it helps. Cian Hughes grew up surrounded by noise-family dinners, muddy rugby boots by the door, laughter that carried through the house. He had everything a boy was supposed to have. Until he met Iona White. From the moment she entered his life, quiet and guarded, Cian felt something shift. Wanting to protect her came naturally. Loving her did too. But loving someone who is breaking teaches you lessons no one prepares you for.

Quinn Parker is the girl everyone thinks they know-perfect grades, perfect hair, perfect smile. But behind the polished image is a secret she guards so tightly that not even her closest friends see the cracks. Ryder Bennett has spent years pretending he doesn't care about anything, least of all Quinn. He used to make her life miserable in middle school, and she's never forgiven him for it. Except now, the more time they spend in the same orbit, the harder it is for either of them to ignore the pull. They argue. They tease. They cross lines and retreat. And somewhere in between late-night conversations, stolen car rides, and the weight of things unsaid, Quinn starts to realize Ryder isn't who she thought he was-and maybe she isn't either. In a world where appearances matter and silence feels safer than honesty, two people who were never supposed to trust each other might be the only ones who actually can.

Omar moved to Thistlebrae for peace, quiet, and meticulously brewed coffee. He did not move there to deal with a walking hurricane of red curls, dimples, and matcha-flavoured optimism setting up shop directly across the street. Em (short for Emeraude, yes really) has one goal: to open her dream matcha café in the cozy Scottish town she's just crash-landed in. She's all pastel menus and plant-based elixirs, until she meets the scowling man behind Grounded, a coffee shop that wears a "F*ck Matcha" sign like a personal vendetta. Their first meeting? Not great. Their second? Worse. Their third? A turf war. But as the café rivalry heats up, so does the tension between the grumpy barista and the matcha fairy across the road. And in Thistlebrae, small towns mean big gossip, and no such thing as keeping your feelings to yourself. P.S. This all began with a tiktok comment. I saw a tiktok about a coffee shop that actually had the "F*ck Matcha" sign behind the counter, and a "Respect the Beans" sign at the door. So my romcom addled brain made me write this comment - "Okay so somebody opens a matcha shop across the road. He hates her with a passion, but he also can't help but notice her passion for matcha. And how her curls perfectly frame her face. And the dimples she gets when she smiles. He keeps going over across the street to pick fights with her and establish bean superiority. Or so he tells himself. Enemies to lovers y'all, somebody write it." That comment got 28.2 thousand likes, and at least 50 people commented something along the lines of "You came up with it, you write it". And so here I am, writing it!

But what happened to the man who defied a tyrant? After being banished from the Queen's court, the huntsman returns to his homeland in the Scottish highlands - a land of standing stones, ancient spirits, and a destiny he never asked for.

Chapter One is finally here... this story follows a character by the name of Ava. Ava is at first appearances, a girl simply looking for the quiet life but that couldn't be further from the truth of not only what she wants but what she's lived. There's more to Ava than meets the eye, a whole lot more; even more than she realises. Suspicion is a very special story because it's "written" by Isla Aidan or rather myself as Isla Aidan. Isla is the MFC in my upcoming series The Silver Fox with book one titled Beware The Thorns. Without Suspicion, there simply wouldn't be Beware The Thorns so I hope you enjoy this story and when the time comes, I hope it helps you understand Isla all the more... read Chapter Two and the rest of this amazing story as it unfolds on my Patreon... https://www.patreon.com/authorjahyde
