Naaz Rashid should have died. She doesn't know why she survived. She doesn't know what happened to her. And, at first, she has no reason to believe that her inexplicable brush with death has anything to do with the strange events that begin unfolding afterward. But strange things have a habit of becoming stranger. A curse is released. Old secrets begin resurfacing. People separated by distance and time find themselves connected by circumstances they cannot explain. The past begins bleeding into the present, while discoveries at the edges of science suggest that some things dismissed as superstition may be far more tangible than anyone would like to believe. There are haunted places, buried histories, impossible phenomena and people whose greatest threat may not be what lurks outside them, but what lies within. And somewhere amid the horror, the absurdity and the occasional moments of dreadful normality, one question remains: What, exactly, did Naaz survive? Because whatever happened that day was not the end of something. It was the beginning.

Some people leave a mark before you even realize they're holding the pen. Elara Hayes had a rule simple, sensible, completely reasonable. Don't fall for your professor. She broke it anyway. Not dramatically. Not all at once. Just slowly, the way you don't notice the sun rising until the whole room is golden. He was calm in a world that was always too loud. Never rushed, never sharp, never the kind of man who needed to raise his voice to fill a room. She graduated. She left. Some stories are just meant to stay unfinished. Aren't they? Out of the Syllabus the story of a girl who memorized everything except how to stop loving the wrong person at the right time. But what happens when five years later, fate puts him right back in her orbit? What happens when the student becomes the colleague? And what happens when a calm, composed man suddenly needs her not for forever, just for one dinner, one lie, one impossible moment? Will she say yes? Better yet - will she survive it?

At Belmont International Academy, everyone knows who belongs where. The rich have their circles. The popular have their tables. And the scholarship students know better than to cross either. Then **he** arrives. Quiet. Ordinary. Supposedly broke. Nobody knows much about him, and honestly, nobody seems interested in finding out. Except her. Liora Bennett has never cared about money. Which is ironic, considering her family has more of it than anyone at Belmont. She's kind to everyone, smiles too easily, and somehow manages to make even the loneliest person in the room feel like they belong. Everyone loves her. Especially *him*. Max Sinclair has known Liora practically his entire life. Their families are inseparable, their parents already see a future together, and the entire school seems convinced they're inevitable. There's just one problem. Liora doesn't love him. Then she starts spending time with the new scholarship student. A shared umbrella. A seat beside her in class. Late afternoons in the library. Little conversations that somehow become the best part of their day. And somewhere between *"Do you need help?"* and *"I'll walk you home,"* something begins to change. But at Belmont, nothing is ever as simple as it looks. Some people are hiding feelings. Some are hiding intentions. And some are hiding **who they really are**. Because the boy everyone thinks has nothing... might have more than any of them could ever imagine. And the girl who seems to have everything... might finally find the one thing money could never buy. **Love.**

After a devastating betrayal upends her life, Elizabeth Hale moves to New Orleans determined to start over. With the support of her cousin Cora and a growing sense of independence, she's slowly learning how to trust herself again. Then she meets Julian.

Yet despite his carefully maintained distance, he finds himself drawn to Elizabeth-and she to him. What begins as an unlikely friendship gradually deepens into something neither can easily explain. But New Orleans is a city steeped in secrets, and Julian has more than his share. As Elizabeth becomes increasingly entangled in his world, she discovers that some questions are harder to ignore than others, and that trust can be as terrifying as it is necessary. Set against the atmospheric backdrop of New Orleans, Centuries Between Us is a slow-burn paranormal romance about healing, found family, hidden histories, and the courage to risk your heart a second time. **I will be posting this on royalroad as well**
