The Quiet Between Notes

A jaded rock god, a brilliant young artist, and a chance encounter that changes everything. Dominic "Dom" Vance has been riding the peak of global superstardom as the enigmatic frontman for Shattered Saints, but five years of heavy vices and screaming crowds have left him completely burnt out. Seeking a rare moment of peace before a massive stadium show, he ducks into a quiet cafe and crosses paths with Y/N—a talented freelance art student who treats him like an ordinary person instead of a celebrity. The grounding connection they share is turned upside down that night when Dom locks eyes with her from the stage, only to discover backstage that his cafe angel is actually the fiercely protected little sister of his best friend and lead guitarist, Nico Silva. Bound by loyalty but consumed by an undeniable, magnetic attraction, Dom is forced to navigate his chaotic lifestyle and the blinding glare of the paparazzi to prove he can protect her peaceful world while winning her heart. Two entirely different worlds. One electric, slow-burn collision.

Skating The Line

Freshmen year at Silverwood University was supposed to be a clean slate for elite figure skater Y/N Brooks—even if it meant sharing an arena with her hyper-overprotective older brother, Leo. She never anticipated Asher Cross. He’s the hockey team's brooding, 6'3" co-captain, top NHL prospect, and her brother's absolute best friend. He is strictly off-limits. But behind Asher's fierce, unbothered game-face is a rare, dimpled smile reserved entirely for Y/N. What starts as high-tension proximity during early morning ice transitions quickly spirals into a forbidden, high-stakes slow burn. Stealing glances soon turns into sneaking around the post-game Hockey House parties, but on this ice, one wrong move will shatter more than just a secret.
