Emilia Laurent has always been number one. Top grades. Perfect composure. Absolute control. So when Ren Takahashi - the quiet, silver-haired boy who barely seems interested in rankings - takes her place at the top of the class for the first time in two years, she decides he deserves her attention. And maybe a little trouble. Emilia has a habit of teasing him in French - saying things she'd never dare admit in her own language. After all, he doesn't understand a word, right? But the more she pushes, the less Ren reacts. And the less he reacts... the more she starts to wonder. Between academic rivalry, awkward glances, beach trips, jealous misunderstandings, and a secret language that might not be so secret after all, Emilia begins to realize something dangerous: Teasing is easy. Falling in love is not.

Everyone knows Blackfall. They know the name whispered whenever the city's lights flicker and the air suddenly becomes heavy. They know the man who can bend gravity to his will. They know the villain who has walked away from heroes, soldiers, and entire operations without ever looking afraid. They know the monster. Elara Finch doesn't. At least, not at first. To her, Kael Arden is simply an infuriating, arrogant man with an unsettling stare, a dangerous smile, and an annoying habit of appearing exactly when she doesn't expect him. Then he starts paying attention to her. Not the city. Not the Vanguard. Not the heroes hunting him. Her. And somehow, the most terrifying man in the city becomes the one person who makes her feel completely safe. But Kael has never been good at love. He doesn't know how to flirt without sounding threatening. He doesn't understand why he gets jealous. He certainly doesn't understand why Elara's smile can completely derail his thoughts. And when she gets close enough to hear his heartbeat, Kael discovers something no amount of power can prepare him for. He wants her. Not as a possession. Not as a weakness. As the one person he willingly chooses. Unfortunately, the Vanguard Authority has noticed the change too. And if the city believes Elara is Blackfall's weakness, they are about to learn the most dangerous lesson of all. You should never threaten the only thing a dangerous man loves.

The Little Girl with Green Eyes At twenty-eight years old, Noah Bennett feels like a man drifting through life. The dreams he once had have faded. The future he once imagined has disappeared.

Heartwarming, funny, heartbreaking, and hopeful, The Little Girl with Green Eyes is a story about loneliness, love, fatherhood, and the unexpected ways a single life can change another forever. Because sometimes the family we need is the one we never expected to find.
