"Do you think we'll actually be okay?" "No. But we'll make it look like we are. That counts for something."

Their first meeting at an upscale Italian restaurant is a collision of two worlds. Logan, scarred and imposing at 7'4", sees in Bella exactly what he needs-someone desperate enough to be malleable, honest enough to be trustworthy, and inexperienced enough not to complicate his carefully controlled life. Bella sees a lifeline wrapped in expensive suits and dangerous promises. Over cannoli and uncomfortable truths, they negotiate the terms of her surrender. He'll pay for everything-clothes, apartment, documentation, medical care. She'll be available, discreet, and eventually, his. No falling in love. No emotional entanglement. Just business. As Bella steps into Logan's world of wealth and expectation, she's forced to confront an impossible question: Can you sell yourself for survival without losing who you are? And when the arrangement inevitably ends, will anything of her remain? A dark romance about desperation, power, and the price of security when you have nothing left to lose.

It's been nearly three years since Sienna Moretti lost her father-the one person who kept the walls of her chaotic life from collapsing. With a toxic mother and two absent siblings, Sienna is determined to take control of her destiny, no matter who-or what-she might hurt in the process, even herself. Silas Wilder isn't certain about much, but he knows one thing: a Formula 1 seat is out there with his name on it. Since moving from Phoenix to Las Vegas, he's been racing against life itself-balancing school, helping his dad care for his younger brother, and chasing the ultimate dream. But when fate throws him the most thrilling-and most dangerous-problem of his life, Silas realizes some risks are worth taking... ---------- "And who am I, exactly?" "You're everything," ---------- Book One of the "Boys of Crestmont Academy" series.

Emma Langford has spent her whole life being the girl everyone can count on-the bright one, the gentle one, the steady one. With a tight-knit group of friends, top-tier grades, and a heart wired for loyalty, Emma's mastered the art of holding everyone else together. But beneath the soft laughter and perfectly-curated notebooks, she hides the fear that one wrong move could shatter the image everyone expects from her... and ruin the only friendship she refuses to lose. Luca Romano isn't sure about much, but he knows one thing: he's been surviving on autopilot for years. With parents who are always everywhere except home, a mansion that feels more like a museum, and a head full of music he's too scared to share, Luca's been drowning quietly behind charm, parties, and the wrong kind of distractions. And when the silence gets too loud, he turns to the one thing that numbs it-until even that stops working. ---------- Book two of the "Boys of Crestmont Academy" series.

At Savannah's Southern Atlantic University, a private institution built on privilege and contradiction, lives do not merely meet-they collide. Niccolò Tasso's mind works like clockwork: logical, precise, obsessed with control. His one fixation? The concept of "chance." What happens when lives crash together by pure accident? It's a question that consumes him-until a very real collision walks into his life. Her name is Dolly. She is chaos in Timberlands, philosophy with a cigarette between her fingers, and a laugh that shatters every rule. She is everything Tasso despises: unpredictable, messy, useless. Two opposites that do not complete each other-they consume each other. In their collision, identities, roles, and convictions begin to crumble, to swap, to twist, until they become unrecognizable. Around them, fragile friendships, violent rivalries, and a death that is never quite accidental. Everyone has a motive. No one is innocent. This is not a love story. This is a story of obsession, of privilege, of silent violence. Of people who, upon meeting, do not save each other-they transform each other. And when everything collapses, only one question remains: Who do you become, after you've destroyed the other?

(This was made a few years ago. Please bear in mind that this was my first ever attempt in creating a novel. With it being the first ever, it SUCKS.) "There's so many things I don't know how to explain in this world, but I know that we have to live with this nonsense!" Ten-year-old Emi Lemons lives a peculiar life. She has a peculiar name, a peculiar mother, lives in a peculiar neighborhood and perhaps the strangest thing of all, a peculiar ability to destroy anything by accident from her own anger. The world seems to be so confusing to her that she doesn't expect it to get any weirder, until a bird the size of a human tells her that he's taking her to an entirely different country with people exactly like her. Now, Emi has many things that she could call peculiar, and it's up to her to figure out how to live a life like this without being consumed by the unknown, because if she doesn't, there's no turning back to sanity. This is my first story ever so it might be a little bit rough around the edges when it comes to the story telling.

Highest Rank: #7 out of 2.9k in mentalhealthawareness! "Volume 1 was the escape. Volume 2 is the reckoning." In the first collection, we found the door. In this one, we look at the scars we carried through it. Grey Solace: The Chemical Reckoning moves away from the garden and into the clinical light of the bathroom mirror-where the ink bleeds, the hand shakes, and the progress we thought we stitched shut begins to pull apart. This is a deep dive into the sensory ghosts of addiction, the dry copper taste of a trigger, and the fractured self-image found in a broken mirror. These aren't just poems; they are the stains left on the map of survival. To write honestly is to stop pretending the white space is empty. Look between the lines. That's where the heartbeat is. Themes: Addiction, Recovery, Healing, Mental Health, Identity.

So this is about what actually goes on in a lot of teenagers lives and all of this is from a teen's POV. Some of it has something to do with my life, some things other. TW: SH, ED

This is not clean. Not neat. Not a story made to comfort anyone. This poem is awake in the hours the world ignores, a mind pacing for decades, a body surviving while chaos hums underneath. It is panic, fear, exhaustion, and the invisible labor of staying present. It is the calculations, the grounding, the silent narrating just to make it through the day. It is laughing mid-spiral, holding everything together while everything inside shakes. It is the tension between appearing fine and surviving anyway. This is not edited, not sanitized, not for applause. It is claiming space, naming experience, documenting what it feels like to exist fully, without compromise, in a world that refuses to pause. Somewhere between fear and faith, panic and clarity, smoke and silence, this poem whispers: you are here. You are real. You are not broken. And your story is yours to finish.
