    Where the Tide Keeps Secrets

    Every pirate grows up hearing the same warning. Never follow a siren into the sea. They’re monsters. Beautiful enough to make sailors forget their own names.

    No Tea, No Shade, Lil’Mama

    Moving to a new school was supposed to be a fresh start for Y/N. Instead, she finds herself as the only white girl at a predominantly Black and Hispanic high school—completely out of her element and surrounded by a street-dance scene she knows absolutely nothing about. Then she meets Treyvon Jabari “TJ” Brown. The attraction is immediate. So is the tension. TJ is confident, playful, and impossible to ignore. Between dance battles, teasing, stolen glances, and nicknames like baby girl and princess, their friendship quickly turns into something neither of them wants to admit. There’s just one problem. Y/N has a boyfriend back at her old school. She never tells TJ. And when TJ finally kisses her, her boyfriend happens to find them. What follows turns their undeniable chemistry into resentment, jealousy, and anger. Now Y/N and TJ are enemies who can’t seem to stay away from each other. But when Y/N discovers her boyfriend has been cheating on her while pressuring her for something she’s not ready to give, TJ realizes the truth: He doesn’t want to control Y/N. He wants her to know what being genuinely loved feels like. Strangers. Flirting. Enemies. Lovers. And sometimes the hardest dance isn’t the one happening on the floor. It’s admitting who you actually want to dance through life with. ( Bring it On All or Nothing anyone?..)

    WLW — A Kingdom Between Us

    For nearly a century, the kingdoms of Valoria and Eldmere have existed as bitter enemies. Every treaty has ended in blood. Every generation has buried sons and daughters because neither crown is willing to surrender. Children grow up learning the same lesson: Never trust the other kingdom. Especially not their royalty. Y/N has spent her entire life becoming exactly what her father wanted. A weapon. Raised alongside knights instead of ladies-in-waiting, she’s known across the continent as The Warrior Princess—a commander who rides into battle with a sword stained crimson long before her soldiers ever draw theirs. Cold. Ruthless. Secretive. She believes mercy is a luxury rulers cannot afford. People admire her. People fear her. No one truly knows her. She prefers it that way. Rumors spread through both kingdoms that she doesn’t smile, doesn’t cry, and has never once spared an enemy on the battlefield. She lets them believe every word. Because monsters survive. Princesses don’t.

    Remember Tomorrow

    For eight years, Y/N and Wesley “Wes” Brooks have been inseparable. Everyone assumes they’re dating. They’ve shared apartments, birthdays, late-night drives, heartbreaks, holidays with each other’s families, and enough inside jokes to fill an entire notebook. The only thing they’ve never shared… …is the truth. Y/N has been in love with Wes for years but refuses to ruin the only relationship she can’t imagine losing. Wes has loved her even longer, but every time he’s about to confess, he convinces himself she’s happier keeping him as her best friend. So they stay exactly where they are. Until one night changes everything.

    The Boy Across the Street

    For as long as anyone in Maple Creek could remember, there had always been three constants. The Ashcroft twins. The Harvey boy. And the fact that Y/N Ashcroft and Tyler Grey Harvey could not stand each other. They bickered over everything. Who cheated during tag in second grade. Who broke the treehouse ladder. Who deserved the last slice of pizza at neighborhood barbecues. Who was right. Who was wrong. Who started it first. If you asked Y/N, Tyler was the most irritating boy she’d ever met. If you asked Tyler… He’d shrug and say, “She’s impossible.” He conveniently left out that he’d been hopelessly in love with her since they were four years old. It started in preschool when she’d shared half of her fruit snacks with him after he’d forgotten his lunch. She’d forgotten all about it. He never had. Unfortunately for Tyler, Y/N spent the next fourteen years making his life as difficult as humanly possible. She stole baseballs during practice just to annoy him. He’d hide her backpack before school. She called him arrogant. He called her dramatic. Their arguments became so routine that the entire neighborhood stopped paying attention unless someone started laughing. The only person caught in the middle was Y/N’s twin brother. Tyler’s best friend. His catcher. His favorite person besides the one person who couldn’t stand him. “…One day she’s gonna kill you,” her brother warned. Tyler only smiled. “Worth it.”

    The Ones They Couldn’t Control

    The world ended quietly. No explosion. No war. No single day where humanity woke up and realized everything had changed. Instead, governments slowly took control. Borders closed. Cities were divided into sectors. Surveillance became ordinary. And anyone born with abilities outside the limits of ordinary human biology was classified as a Variant. Variants weren’t citizens. They were property. The government called the facilities research centers. The people inside called them prisons.

    The Words I Lost

    Y/N hasn’t spoken in six years. Not because she can’t. Because once, when she desperately needed someone to believe her, nobody did. In sixth grade, Y/N was assaulted by Callum James Krove, someone she trusted. When she finally told her best friend, she was called a liar. Jealous. Attention-seeking. So Y/N stopped speaking. Six years later, she’s in high school, communicating through notes, texts, and silence. Then there’s Cyrus Leo Jefferson. Her childhood rival. The boy who used to drive her crazy. The boy who somehow becomes the first person in years to make her want to use her voice again. As their rivalry slowly turns into something neither expected, Y/N begins taking small steps toward speaking again—until Cyrus is suddenly involved in a devastating accident. Now, with Cyrus unconscious in a hospital bed, Y/N is faced with an impossible choice: Stay silent and protect the voice she’s spent six years living without—or speak for the first time in six years for the boy who finally made her want to be heard. But finding her voice doesn’t mean forgetting what happened. And Cyrus is determined to make sure Y/N knows one thing: He believes her.

    He Who Kneels

    She was born to wear the crown. He was born to serve it. Y/N is a queen trapped in a loveless marriage to an unfaithful king who humiliates her, betrays her, and sometimes turns his cruelty toward her. Behind the palace walls, she has learned to hide every wound beneath silk, jewels, and perfect royal composure. Hayes Wilder Hartley is a knight who has spent more than a decade training to protect the kingdom. He is sworn to the king—but his loyalty has slowly shifted toward the queen. He sees what everyone else ignores. Her pain. Her loneliness. Her fear. And she sees what he tries so desperately to hide. The bruises. The exhaustion. The way the king treats him. Their relationship begins with quiet glances and forbidden conversations, slowly becoming something neither can afford to name. Because a queen cannot love her knight. And a knight cannot betray his king. But when the king’s secrets threaten the kingdom itself, Y/N and Hayes must decide how much they’re willing to sacrifice for freedom—and whether their forbidden love is worth risking everything for. Some love stories begin with a kiss. Theirs begins with a promise to protect each other.

    His Rival

    Y/N and Wesley Logan Carter have been rivals since childhood. From stealing each other’s seats to competing over grades, sports, and practically everything else, they’ve spent years insisting they can’t stand one another. Except Wesley has known the truth for a long time. He fell for Y/N the first time they met. He simply never told her. Now they’re older, and somehow the childhood rivalry has turned into something dangerously close to friendship. Wesley is always around—teasing Y/N, carrying things she insists she can carry herself, showing up when she needs someone, and pretending his concern is nothing more than old rivalry. Then there’s Ledger Pax Grey. Y/N’s boyfriend. Everyone thinks he’s perfect. Wesley doesn’t. When Wesley discovers that Ledger has been cheating on Y/N—and worse, has been hurting her—years of buried feelings finally become impossible to hide. Wesley has always been willing to lose an argument to Y/N. But he refuses to stand by while someone hurts her.

    The Boy Next Door

    Y/N and Theodore Greyson Prescott have been neighbors since childhood—and enemies for just as long. They’ve competed over everything, argued over nothing, and spent years insisting they can’t stand each other. Except Theodore has had one tiny problem since the day they met: He fell in love with her. Years later, he’s still waiting patiently for Y/N to realize that the boy she calls her biggest rival has been quietly choosing her all along. Between hockey games, late-night visits, family dinners, combined vacations, stolen hoodies, and a rivalry that’s slowly turning into something neither of them can explain, Y/N might finally discover that maybe Theodore was never her enemy. Maybe he was just waiting to become something more.

    The Ink Between Us

    Y/N and Weston Cole Abercrombie have been childhood rivals for years. He’s the intimidating hockey player everyone knows better than to mess with. She’s the quiet girl who would rather disappear into the background than draw attention to herself. When Y/N’s anxiety becomes overwhelming, she used to calm herself by coloring in her notebook—until a teacher publicly scolded her for it. After that, she stopped. Then Weston sits beside her one day and quietly offers something unexpected: his freshly tattooed arm. “You can color on this instead.” The boy Y/N thought she hated slowly becomes the person who understands her without needing an explanation. Sometimes, the worst rival can become the safest place to land.

    The Last Classification

    “The government doesn’t decide who you are.” “It decides whether you’re allowed to live.” The Republic has only ever recognized two kinds of people. The Careers. And the Fillers. The Careers are the government’s masterpiece. Doctors. Scientists. Engineers. Military leaders. Politicians. Children who score high enough during the National Aptitude Examination at age sixteen earn the privilege of becoming one. Warm homes. Full stomachs. Clean water. Education. Freedom. Then there are the Fillers. The government’s mistake. The ones declared too unintelligent… Too weak… Too emotional… Too expendable. Officially, they’re called National Labor Assets. Everyone else simply calls them… The Wasteful Kind.

    After “The End”

    The world didn’t end quietly. Cities burned, governments collapsed, and the people who survived learned quickly that trusting strangers could be just as dangerous as the things hunting them. Y/N and Logan Maxine Blythe have survived together since the beginning—two best friends who refuse to leave each other behind. Mack Stellan Davis and Bentley Winston Samson have done the same. When their paths finally collide, neither pair expects to find anything but another threat. Mack Stellan Davis doesn’t trust Y/N. Y/N doesn’t trust Mack Stellan Davis. Logan Maxine Blythe and Bentley Winston Samson are no different. But survival forces enemies to become allies. Allies become something dangerously close to friends. Then someone betrays the others. And suddenly, the fragile trust they’ve built shatters. They become enemies again. Until circumstances force them back together. This time, however, hatred isn’t the only thing growing between them. Because somewhere between the arguments, near-death experiences, stolen glances, and nights spent sharing warmth beside dying fires, four strangers begin becoming the one thing none of them can afford to be: attached.

    The Enemy I’d Die For

    Y/N Bauxbaum never expected the military to become home. She certainly never expected North Bear Sterling to become the one person who could make it feel like one. They are rivals. Opposites. Two morally grey soldiers who would rather swallow broken glass than admit they care about each other. They don’t like being touched. They don’t seek comfort. They don’t trust easily. Except somehow, when it’s each other, every rule disappears. North Bear Sterling is supposed to be Y/N Bauxbaum’s enemy. So why is he always the first person beside her when things go wrong? Why does he quietly make her assignments easier? Why does he hold her weapon when her hand cramps during public service? Why does he reassure her after a superior tears into her for outperforming half the men around her? And why does Y/N Bauxbaum secretly let him? They’re soldiers. They’re rivals. They’re both far too stubborn to admit what’s happening. But somewhere between battlefield tension, whispered conversations, stolen touches, and protecting each other when nobody is watching, hatred starts becoming something much more dangerous. Love.

    The King’s Blade

    The kingdom of Valerion has one unbreakable law. The Crown must never fall. So when Princess Y/N is born, the king summons the most dangerous man in the realm. Not a knight. Not a general. An assassin. Theodore Scott Ryder. A man whispered about in taverns. The shadow kings fear. The blade kingdoms hire when wars need ending before they begin. The king gives him one order. “Protect my daughter.” Years later… The queen storms into the training grounds. Watching her fourteen-year-old daughter pin three grown men to the dirt before disarming Theodore himself. She turns to the king in disbelief. “I never told you to train her…” She gestures toward the unconscious guards scattered across the courtyard. “I told you to protect her!” Theodore calmly wipes the blood from his knuckles. “Her training will protect her.” “But you turned my daughter into a bloody assassin!” He simply shrugs. “Now no one else has to.”

    When the Call Went Silent

    Y/N was only supposed to be driving home from college for a family visit. With Brooks Sutton Bauxbaum on the phone the entire way, the drive feels ordinary—until the call suddenly disconnects. Brooks knows immediately that something is wrong. He races to the scene, desperately asking the same question over and over: “Where’s my sister?” But while Brooks is fighting through panic to make sure Y/N is okay, another person is quietly falling apart. Wesley Blake Briggs has always been Brooks’s best friend. He was never supposed to become the guy who memorizes Y/N’s favorite things, steals glances when nobody’s watching, and acts like they’re already a couple despite never actually admitting what they are. Now, after hearing about the accident, Wesley has only one thought: Get to Y/N. Because sometimes it takes almost losing someone to realize they were never just a friend.

    Ash & Dragons

    She was never meant to wear the crown. But when her father dies, Y/N becomes the youngest ruler in the world—and the most feared. Surrounded by an army of powerful women, guided by her fiercely loyal right hand, Seraphina Whitmore, Y/N refuses to kneel to the neighboring kingdoms that see her youth and gender as weaknesses. Then four ancient dragon eggs hatch. As her dragons grow, so does her power—and suddenly, the kings who once tried to conquer her kingdom begin fearing her. One of those kingdoms sends its most trusted weapon: Soren Vale Ashfall, the king’s right-hand man. He’s supposed to bring Y/N to submission. Instead, he finds himself falling for the very queen he’s sworn to defeat. They’re enemies. They’re forbidden. And if either kingdom discovers the truth, their love could ignite a war worse than anything their dragons could create. She rules with fire. He was sent to extinguish it. But some flames were never meant to be put out.

    The Fine Line

    Y/N has spent years building a reputation as the one person who refuses to bow to the Bianchi family. She’s sharp-tongued, fearless, and impossible to intimidate—qualities that immediately put her at odds with Diego Bianchi, the arrogant heir to the Bianchi empire. Their first meeting ends with a broken wine glass, several insults, and Diego telling everyone he’ll never willingly work with her again. Three weeks later… They’re forced to.

    THE THINGS WE NEVER SAY

    Y/N never expected to have anything in common with Ryder Jay Banks. Ryder is angry, exhausted, addicted, and constantly one bad day away from falling apart. He works as a mechanic for Y/N’s father, mostly because he needs every dollar he can get to keep his four younger siblings fed and safe. At home, Ryder is less of a brother and more of a parent. His father is an abusive alcoholic. His mother works endlessly but refuses to leave, convinced there’s still something good in the man she’s married to. Ryder has spent years protecting Stella, Riggs, Ray, and baby Theodore from whatever storm waits behind their front door. And Y/N can’t stand him. At least, that’s what they both tell themselves. Y/N sees Ryder as an arrogant, angry mess who is always starting fights. Ryder sees Y/N as the boss’s spoiled kid who knows nothing about what it’s like to struggle. Then Y/N begins noticing the truth behind Ryder’s hostility. The exhaustion. The bruises. The trembling hands. The way he always makes sure his siblings eat before he does. And suddenly, hating Ryder becomes a lot harder.

    The Man I Shouldn’t Want

    Y/N has spent years proving that she doesn’t need a man to succeed. As the COO of one of the most powerful companies in the city, she’s brilliant, independent, intimidating, and completely unimpressed by the men who constantly underestimate her. Then there’s Colt Theodore Madden. Her CEO. Her boss. Her biggest rival. And, unfortunately, the only man Y/N has ever willingly tolerated. For years, their relationship has consisted of arguments disguised as meetings, sarcastic remarks disguised as flirting, and enough tension to make everyone around them wonder when they’ll finally admit what’s obvious. Colt knows exactly how to push her buttons. Y/N knows exactly how to control him. And neither of them realizes when their rivalry quietly becomes something much more dangerous. Because Colt Theodore Madden doesn’t just want Y/N beside him in the boardroom anymore. He wants her everywhere.
