One dropped pen. One bold text. And suddenly, everything changes. Carter Reynolds has spent most of college trying not to draw attention to himself—quiet in class, busy at work, and always a little unsure of where he fits. Dakota Owens is everything he isn’t: confident, creative, and effortlessly warm. They’ve shared a classroom all semester, but one dropped pen and one bold text message change everything. When casual classmates are destined to become something more, coffee turns into dinner, awkward smiles turn into soft kisses, and the man who thought no one noticed him finds himself seen in ways he never expected. Together, they discover that the best kind of love isn’t loud or dramatic—it’s steady, surprising, and built one ordinary moment at a time. Sometimes the best love stories start with one brave hello. Not So Casually Classmates is a new adult meet‑cute about quiet strength, fierce loyalty, and learning that love works best as a partnership. This stand‑alone book is set in the Then Came Love world from Ellen Wilder and Amber Root.

Rhi Edgerly has never been one for long-term relationships—occasional flings and on-again, off-again boyfriends more than enough for her. But with her twenty-fifth birthday on the horizon, she finds the thrill wearing off and is toying with the idea of something more serious. But the only one she can imagine spending her life with is her roommate and lifelong best friend, Levi. Between his demanding tech job, a never-ending string of one-night stands, and regular party host duties, confirmed bachelor Levi Morris is getting tired. His job feels like a chore and he finds himself just going through the motions with everyone but Rhi. When a killer job opportunity lands in his lap, he has to decide whether he wants to stay with Rhi in Indianapolis or move back home to Bryton. Rhi and Levi know they’ll be friends for the rest of their lives. But after a few bad dates, an almost kiss, and a new job two hours away, will they risk their almost twenty year friendship to see what kind of soulmates they truly are? Not So Suddenly Soulmates is a friends-to-lovers new adult rom-com with a lot of laughs, plenty of eye rolls, and a little bit of island vacation heat. This stand-alone book is set in the And Then Came Love world from Ellen Wilder and Amber Root.

One woman. Two men. Too many passive-aggressive sticky notes. Hilary Brandt has her hands full juggling a demanding job as an event planner, a flair-for-the-dramatic assistant, a Houdini-level escape-artist cat, and a roommate who treats bath bombs like sacred rituals. She’s doing fine —aside from that awkward almost-romance with her swoony neighbor Neal and the condo board president who seems to have it out for her…and her takeout habit. So when she’s gently coerced into running for condo board president, Hilary figures it’s just one more thing to manage. How hard could it be? (Spoiler: very.) Between sabotage-by-memo, mysteriously disappearing deliveries, and a campaign full of more drama than a reality TV finale, Hilary’s life turns into a three-ring circus. And that’s before the love triangle heats up. Now, with her career teetering, her love life on blast, and chaos erupting on every floor, Hilary must decide: play nice—or play to win?

This book is built from a fracture in time. What you'll find between its pages is not simply love—it is Forever itself: unyielding, unrelenting, and beautifully impossible. Nate writes not to preserve a person, but to preserve the ache of infinity. When Forever slips beyond reach, the only answer is to make it real in verse. In these poems, Forever isn't a destination—it's the haunting pull between what was and what always will be. It's the echo that returns with new shape, new sorrow, new grace. It's not perfection-it's persistence. A force that reshapes you, lingers in silence, and seeps into everything unspoken. Each line is an offering to the gods of what-could-have-been. A slow orbit around memory, desire, failure, and yearning. This is love as gravity. Time as ruin. Forever as a wound that doesn't close—and a pulse that never dies. To write of Forever is to disobey ending. And this book is pure defiance.

He thought love was something that would shake the ground beneath him. Instead, it revealed everything. This is a story born from the ache of loving too late and learning too slowly. All his life, he searched for a love powerful enough to unravel everything he thought he understood about the world and about himself. No one ever taught him what love truly meant—not the kind you give and not the kind you live. He moved through life unaware that love doesn’t blind you at all. It reveals everything, opening your eyes to the one soul who makes you believe your existence was written for them alone. He failed more times than he can bear to remember. This book is his reckoning—his confession, his truth, and the apology he never managed to speak aloud. It is a tribute to the one person who showed him what love really is… and the one he lost because he learned too late. Change is a standalone collection of poetry and reflective prose told in raw, bite-sized pieces. Meant to be read slowly or devoured in one sitting, each entry is a confession. Each page is a quiet reckoning with love, regret, heartbreak, and emotional growth. For anyone who has loved and lost. For those who learned too late. For the ones still carrying what was never said. For readers who believe love changes you—even when it leaves. For anyone still holding the echo of a love they didn’t get right.
