The Pace of Us

Sometimes healing begins when you stop pretending you're fine.

After a devastating breakup from an abusive relationship leaves her life in shambles, Isla Cromwell flees to the English countryside, hoping to disappear into the quiet corners of a family friend’s estate. She doesn’t expect Oliver Princeton—the boy she once knew, now a global Formula One superstar—to be there recovering from a crash that nearly ended his career.

Isla wants nothing to do with fame or fast cars. Oliver wants nothing more than to get back on track. But when their paths collide at the secluded Princeton Estate, they find that healing from heartbreak and high-speed trauma might take more than time—it might take each other.

As Isla’s past resurfaces and Oliver struggles with his future, they’ll have to decide if leaning on each other is worth the risk—and whether hope is enough to build something new.

The Doctoral Disaster

What would you do for a movie-perfect romance?

Mya Donoghue is finally choosing herself: finishing her Ph.D. in archaeology, starting fresh in California, and believing, just for once, that she might be the main character. When a wrong turn on campus leads to a passionate night with a charming stranger named Javi, she’s certain it’s nothing more than a beautiful, impossible moment.

Until fall semester begins and Javi walks into her classroom as her professor.

Caught between undeniable chemistry, unspoken truths, and the future she’s worked years to earn, Mya must decide whether chasing a rom-com ending is worth risking everything she’s built.

Because real life doesn’t always stay in the genre you expect.
