Lena, a quiet little girl whose childhood is slowly stolen by neglect, abuse, and emotional isolation inside her home. At its core, it follows her survival, dissociation, and the way silence can trap someone for years. The story shows how Lena lives in a house that looks normal from the outside but is deeply unsafe and emotionally broken inside. It explores how she learns to stay small, stay quiet, and disappear to survive. But true healing demands confronting the shadow that started it all. When a unexpected call brings Lena back to the mother who abandoned her, she must decide what closure truly means—and whether forgiveness is something owed, or something she must give herself to finally be free.

Friday night lights. Bitter rivals. One secret that could ruin everything.Noah: My life has one playbook: win the scholarship, save my family, and never show a single crack in the armor. Then I'm forced into a PR nightmare—planning the fall festival with Maya Torres. She's the head cheerleader for our rivals, and she looks at me like I'm everything wrong with the world. She's not wrong.Maya: My escape plan is flawless: graduate, get into my dream school, and never look back at this town or its football obsession. My first obstacle? Being shackled to Noah Price, the star quarterback who embodies everything I hate. He's supposed to be my enemy, not the one person who sees the real me.Under the Friday night lights, our rivalry is legendary. But in the quiet moments between stolen glances and secret meetings, we discover a truth that could destroy us both: the person we're supposed to hate might be the only one who truly understands. Our ambition got us this far, but is our authenticity worth more than the win?

She's desperate to hide years' worth of crippling secrets.
When a life-or-death situation lands the Williams children in foster care, Maisy isn't sure how to feel. She has no choice but to fall back on her most cherished survival instinct: blending into the background.
But it's hard to blend in when the two most popular boys in school are determined to look after you. Her new life introduces her to a world of teenage experiences she has never had before, including a powerful bond with her new foster brother, Chris, and a complicated friendship with his best friend, Colton.
As she fights to rid herself of the demons that plague her past, Maisy must decide: will she let her guard down and embrace her new life, or keep herself locked away, protecting herself from a future she's never let herself imagine?
He's desperate to help the girl with the tortured whiskey eyes.
Colton's life has always been meticulously planned: hockey, academics, and a future in Division One athletics. Very few things break his fixation on hockey and academics. But one of the few exceptions is his undying loyalty to his best friend, Chris.
When Chris's family takes in three fragile foster children, Colton vows to help Chris look after them. Especially Maisy, whom both boys feel an immediate connection to. She challenges every rule he's ever followed and makes him question the path he's always believed in.
Tethered by a force neither understands, Maisy and Colton are drawn to each other in ways that feel inevitable and terrifying. As Maisy battles the demons of her past, and Colton wrestles with ambition and desire, they must confront the ultimate question: can two hearts so determined to stay apart find a way to be together—or will the secrets and fears that haunt them tear them apart forever?

He's the scandal-tainted quarterback with everything to prove. She's the coach's daughter who wants nothing to do with the game—until him.Mila MooreAnother summer ending.Another semester about to start.And another football season kicking off with my usual lack of enthusiasm.As the only daughter to the head coach at the University of Hunton, and the sister to the star running back on the team, my quota for all things football is exhausted. I ran out of caring about the sport years ago, but I support how important it is to them. So long as I mind my own business, make sure my dad doesn't overwhelm himself with stress, and study hard, I'll be well on my way to graduating in a couple of years to get a teaching job and eventually start a family with a nice, normal, decent guy.A guy who won't be at all connected to the psychotic fandom that the world of football demands.All I know is that as the fall approaches, I will most definitely not be interested in the cocky quarterback who is transferring over to play for Hunton U.Jackson GrantAnother school campus to learn.Another list of new drills and plays to memorize.And another established team to fit in with and be counted as one of the players who belonged.Moving over as a sophomore with a lot of promise and a knack for never losing, I hate that I come with baggage, too. I escaped the worst of a betting and cheating scandal at my former college. I didn't do anything wrong. But according to Sam Moore, Hunton's all-star champion who detests me at first sight, I'm worthless and untrustworthy.It's not going to be easy for me, paranoid that someone will sabotage me again. It won't be fun, taking crap from the senior players who assume I'm an outsider who can't be a leader on the field.All I'm confident about is my goal to focus and play my best. There's no room in my schedule for partying or entertaining a long list of girls who want a piece of me—which means I shouldn't have any trouble avoiding any thoughts about Coach's infuriatingly stubborn daughter who is supposed to be off-limits to me. AGAINST THE RULES SERIES•Book 1 - Player•Book 2 - Comeback•Book 3 - Clutch A three-book sports romance series where love, rivalry, and secrets collide—and not every answer comes until the final play.

One princess, twenty princes, and one…frog? The path to true love isn't always what you might expect.All my life I've been waiting for my prince charming, but you can't just leave these things up to chance. There are plenty of princes in the Seelie kingdom, but I'm the princess of the Lily Court and someday I will rule. Just because a prince is handsome, or an excellent swordsman, it doesn't mean he's going to be a good co-ruler.Obviously my fairy godmother agrees, because she gave me the christening gift of true love. If I organize a set of challenges for the potential future husbands to tackle, she's promised that I'll find my perfect match.So that's just what I have planned, and when a talking frog offers to help me find out what the princes are really like, who am I to argue? Honestly, he's pretty good company, even if he keeps stealing pastries from the castle kitchen.Is there truly a prince out there that will meet all the criteria on my very comprehensive list? Or will I find that true love has been waiting for me all along?**This adorable sweet romance is a retelling of The Frog Prince and is a stand-alone novella (only eight chapters) in the Faerie Tale Romances series. If you love Fae, pastries, and sassy animal sidekicks, dive into The Lily Gate today!**
