Y/N hasn’t believed in God since her little brother died. A two-week school trip to Italy was supposed to be a way to honor his memory, not change her life. But between crowded streets, late-night conversations, and a boy whose faith refuses to waver, Y/N finds herself questioning everything she thought she knew about grief, love, and belief.
N never expected to be transferred into an advanced programme shared with a London sixth form college—especially not halfway through Year 11. New classes, unfamiliar corridors, and students older than her suddenly become part of everyday life. Including Leo Harrington, a Year 13 student who seems far too composed for someone carrying the weight of his entire future on his shoulders. They weren’t supposed to know each other beyond awkward study sessions and passing conversations. But somewhere between late buses, rainy afternoons, and the pressure of growing up too fast, the line between familiarity and something more begins to blur.
Y/N has spent years quietly loving Osric Rhode, convinced that one day he’ll notice her the way she notices him. But when her best friend Miyla suddenly ends up with him instead, everything she thought was stable fractures in an instant. Left behind in the aftermath, Y/N tries to pretend she’s fine while the town watches her friendship fall apart in real time. Osric didn’t mean to hurt her. Miyla didn’t think it would matter this much. And Y/N is stuck somewhere between heartbreak and humiliation, unsure where she fits anymore. Then there’s Dorion Rhodes, Osric’s older brother, who has never been kind, never been soft, and never once pretended to understand her. But somehow, he’s the only one who stays when everything else turns cold. In a summer where nothing feels certain anymore, Y/N has to figure out whether she’s still holding onto a love that never chose her… or finally ready to be chosen by something different.
Connor Rivers was the guy everyone wanted to be. Star baseball player, confident, untouchable, and Y/N’s biggest enemy. But after a baseball accident leaves him blind, everything changes. Everyone starts treating him differently, like he’s fragile, like he’s not the same person anymore. Everyone except Y/N. She still argues with him. Still calls him out. Still refuses to let him hide behind his anger. And Connor hates that she might be the only person who still sees him.
Y/N has never struggled because she wasn’t beautiful. If anything, that was the easy part. She’d caught countless people staring, blushing, or whispering to their friends as she walked past. But the moment they realised she was deaf, the courage disappeared just as quickly. So no one ever asked her out. Not until the one person she’d never expect started seeing past the silence. The school’s most popular boy. The same one who’d spent years laughing at deaf and blind jokes. Is about to learn that changing is far harder than falling in love.
Y/N Carter has everything she’s supposed to want. Captain of cheer. Student council president. The girl everyone knows, admires, and talks about when she leaves the room. In a school like hers, reputation is everything—and hers is perfect. But perfection is exhausting. When Callum, a quiet record store worker who couldn’t care less about popularity, starts drifting into her orbit, Y/N finds herself pulled into something she doesn’t know how to control. He doesn’t look at her like she’s untouchable. He doesn’t care about her title. And for the first time, she isn’t sure what happens when she stops performing. As late-night conversations replace expectations and carefully built reputations start to crack, Y/N is forced to confront a question she’s never had time to ask herself: If no one is watching, who is she really? And worse—what if Callum is the only person who’s ever seen it?
It’s 1792. You are a princess and have spent your entire life trapped within the glittering walls of the royal palace beside your sisters, cousins and nobles raised to obey the down without question. But as unrest spreads through the kingdom and dangerous secrets begin slipping through thr halls at night, the last person you expect to trust is a sharp-tounge fool who insults people for a living.
One minute, Y/N is in New York. The next, she wakes in a field of impossible flowers outside a castle that shouldn’t exist. Summoned to a world of kingdoms and magic, she’s forced to attend the Royal Academy, the most prestigious school for princes and princesses. Unfortunately, she can’t curtsy, doesn’t know a single royal custom, and somehow manages to offend half the student body before the end of her first day. As the academy’s future king begins paying far too much attention to the one girl who couldn’t care less about his title, rumors spread, rivalries grow, and Y/N starts to wonder why she was brought to a world that insists she belongs there. She certainly doesn’t feel like a princess. And the kingdom isn’t ready for someone who refuses to become one.
Y/N thought leaving North Carolina meant leaving behind the life she built with her childhood best friend and husband, Ethan. Three years later, she’s a successful lawyer in Boston raising her three-year-old son, Milo, alone. Until Ethan calls about the divorce they never finished and the son he never knew he had. Forced back into each other’s lives, Y/N and Ethan have to face the memories, the mistakes, and the feelings they never truly let go of. Because sometimes the person you run from is the person you were always meant to find again.
