Tatiana Mendoza

Something's wrong...

That's what always nags at Gabriela whenever she sees Kevin Saldivar, the cousin of her crush, Francis Saldivar. Kevin is the ultimate St. Therese royalty: star athlete, everyone’s friend, and devastatingly handsome. But while the rest of the school swoons, Gabriela knows a fraudster is hiding behind the golden boy's mask.

Now a high school senior, Gabriela plans to make Francis notice her. But to get close to the kind-hearted and brilliant boy she's pined for since sixth grade, Gabriela needs to deal with Kevin, the very person she'd rather avoid!

Sarie Writes

Amara never plans on getting tangled up with Jace, the kind of guy everyone warns you about with a knowing look and a shake of the head. He is intense, unpredictable, and far too used to getting exactly what he wants. At first, she pushes back, holding tight to her independence and refusing to be another story people whisper about. But Jace does not play by rules, especially when it comes to her. The pull between them is fierce, addictive, and impossible to ignore. Every glance lingers, every touch feels charged, and every step away becomes harder than the last. As tension builds and control slips, Amara must figure out where she stands in a connection that feels as thrilling as it is overwhelming.

The story follows Sofia Santos, a quiet, insecure girl who mostly keeps to herself at school. She’s the kind of person people overlook—never the center of attention, never the girl everyone notices. Life at school isn’t exactly easy either. Between feeling invisible and dealing with the typical drama of teenage life, Sofia just tries to get through each day without drawing too much attention. But everything changes when someone finally does notice her. What begins as a quiet high-school crush quickly turns into something deeper, messier, and far more complicated than Sofia ever expected. And the biggest question becomes: Is this the start of something real… or the beginning of a situation she might not be able to control? ✔️ The story is completed and has a sequel called “You Will Be Mine,” which continues the characters’ lives when they are adults.

Hannah thought she’d left her past with Wesley behind—or at least learned how to look away. That worked while an ocean separated them. Returning to Washington, DC is supposed to be simple: choose a wedding venue, marry her handsome surgeon fiancé, and close the door on everything she ran from. Instead, she collides with Wesley—her ex, her first love, the heartbreak she never healed. Now a firefighter marked by heat and scars, he’s impossible to ignore. Hannah may have forgotten how much he once meant to her, but Wesley remembers everything, and the past isn’t done with either of them yet.

Valerie J. Clarizio

After tragically losing both parents, Dylan Jacobs is left to care for his five younger brothers while also managing his family’s thriving dairy farm.

Marissa Geyer is desperate to get away from her alcoholic father. When Dylan offers her a live-in nanny/housekeeper position, she jumps at the opportunity. The loving, chaotic household feeds her maternal instincts, and before long, she falls hard for Dylan and the boys. Her sexy boss, however, seems opposed to a romantic relationship.

Despite a powerful attraction to Marissa, Dylan pulls back. His heart has been broken—more than once—by women unwilling to take on his ready-made family. He won’t risk his heart again, or the hearts of his younger brothers, who he’s vowed to protect at any cost.

Marissa may be devoted to his family, but is it enough to risk his heart—and five more—for the woman he’s come to love? Can they become a Family Forever?

A chance encounter—and a surprising revelation—would never change how they feel about one another. Or would it?

In a town that never forgets, two broken lives begin to fit together awkwardly, tenderly, dangerously.
