What happens when your first heartbreak becomes your biggest distraction? --- Everyone at Henley University knows Logan Adams, the charming 6'3 star forward with an easy smile and eyes you could drown in. But I remember the boy before all of that. The one who watched Marvel movies with me, who fell on the ice more times than he'd ever admit, and who promised we'd always be friends. That was years ago. I haven't seen him since our high school graduation, long after we stopped being friends. Now I'm transferring to Henley, and working as a student medical assistant for the hockey team. For the first time in years, I'll be around Logan... The boy who broke my heart without ever realizing it was in his hands. *****Updates Daily!!!***** ****The Henley Boys is a set of standalone novels.

At twenty-six, Clara Whitmore has built a life she can control. Her days are precise, her work as a dentist meticulous, and her heart... carefully protected. After everything she's faced, she's learned to rely only on herself. Luke Matthews, also twenty-six, is everything the world admires: talented, charming, and seemingly untouchable. A professional ice hockey star with a smile that could light up a city, he carries a weight that no one sees-a vulnerability behind the fame and the effortless confidence. Two years ago, their lives intersected for a fleeting, unforgettable night-one filled with laughter, warmth, and a spark neither of them could explain. But life pulled them apart, leaving memories that linger like shadows. Now, fate brings them together again. A chance meeting in Clara's clinic sets off a slow, teasing, and irresistible pull. Friendships are tested, walls are challenged, and hearts are pushed toward a possibility neither thought they could risk. Fracture Line is a slow-burn, friends-to-lovers romance about love that sneaks up when you least expect it, the fragility of trust, and the invisible cracks in our lives that sometimes lead us to the people who can make us whole.

Angela Fordman knows how to win. She knows how to run through pain, silence fear, and keep moving long after the world expects her to break. Medals line her career. Applause follows her name. Strength is what she's known for. But strength has a cost. When a single night strips away the illusion of control, Angela is forced to confront the thing she's spent years outrunning: the loneliness left behind by grief, and the trauma her body never forgot. The track-once her refuge-begins to feel like a cage. Gastro Hernandez has built his life around understanding people without needing anything from them. Calm, observant, and fiercely contained, he knows better than to cross certain lines. But when Angela lets him see the cracks she hides from the world, walking away becomes impossible. As injury, memory, and public scrutiny collide, both are faced with a quiet, dangerous question: What happens when the thing that keeps you alive no longer lets you escape? A story about survival, connection, and learning how to let someone stay, this novel explores what it means to stop running-and to be seen anyway.

A Shubman Gill & Abhishek Sharma Fanfic Two girls. One city of dreams. And neighbours they never planned on falling for. Avani Chavan and Samira Patil move from Pune to Mumbai with nothing but ambition, laughter, and a shared history of late-night movie marathons and messy college kitchens. Best friends since forever, they build their dream side by side-a warm, bustling café and a bold interior design studio tucked into the heart of Bandra. What they don't expect? Their next-door neighbours. Abhishek Sharma-easy smiles, loud laughter, and a cricketer who treats his home like a safe haven. Shubman Gill-quiet intensity, discipline, and eyes that notice more than he lets on. Two penthouses. One shared corridor. And lives that slowly begin to overlap. From borrowed sugar turning into shared dinners, chaotic cooking nights, impromptu movie marathons, terrace conversations at 2 a.m., and the comfort of familiar chaos-something begins to change. Avani finds herself redesigning more than just spaces, while Abhishek discovers peace in her unfiltered energy. Samira pours her heart into her café, only to realise Shubman has been quietly learning every version of her smile. Love doesn't arrive loudly here.

A story of friendship, found family, slow-burn romance, and two girls who live loudly-next door to the men who were never ready for them.

Between the spikes and serves, our hearts collide-rivals on the court, lovers in the quiet spaces in between.

He's loud when he wants to be, distant when it matters, and entirely uninterested in what Olivia is trying to become. They clash. They notice. They pretend they don't.
