Rosalie Di Laurentis has spent years pretending she's fine. Fine with being known as Dean's twin sister. Fine with hiding behind parties, sarcasm, and late-night hockey games. Fine with the fact that every relationship she's ever had has ended with her walking away before someone could hurt her first. And she's definitely fine with John Logan. Her friend. Her constant. The boy who's been there since day one. Logan knows Rosalie better than anyone - the girl who memorizes hockey stats like novels, who chases ambition harder than sleep, and who never says what she's really feeling. But somewhere between crowded Briar parties, road trips, stolen glances, and years of almosts, friendship starts turning into something far more dangerous. Because the more Logan looks at her, the harder it becomes to pretend he doesn't want her. And the closer Rosalie gets to him, the more terrified she becomes of ruining the one person she can't lose. But after one night changes everything, they're forced to face the truth they've been avoiding for years: Maybe it was always him. Maybe it's always been her. Always Been You is a college hockey romance filled with friends-to-lovers tension, party chaos, past relationship trauma and the kind of love that was there long before either of them were ready to admit it. Just a warning ⚠️ This story does deal with mental health. I only own Rosalie, her story and any other OC I make. (Just like all my stories this doesn't follow the tv show or the books because this is Rosalie's story)

"I just can't think straight when it comes to you, Deepika. Why do you do this to me?" says Arjun "I'm not doing anything, Arjun," she hissed. "It's you. You're the one confusing the shit out of me." In one sudden movement, he pulled her close. Lifted her chin and pressed his lips against hers. Updated twice a week!

The arrangement was simple: seven months, one gala, one exit clause. Clara Beckett was good at complicated things. Code. Composure. Aldric Beaumont. Two out of three.

I've got several new story ideas in the works, but I can't decide which one to write first. So I'm leaving them here for you guys to check out! 📚💭

My first story about a gangster who become strongest person in the world

Mary Jones. A walking disaster with the luck of a broken Time-Turner. Between surviving her final year of studies and barely keeping her life together, Mary found comfort in books. Romance, drama, mystery-you name it, she'd probably already reviewed it. Then she woke up inside one. As one of the main characters. The only way home? Follow the plot. The problem? She barely got past the first few chapters. Now surrounded by wealthy heirs, influential families, and enough drama to fuel an entire streaming platform, Mary is expected to play her role in a story she knows almost nothing about. Easy enough... until she realizes that beneath the glamorous parties and family rivalries, something feels off. People are hiding things. Secrets have a habit of disappearing. And the more Mary stumbles her way through the story, the more she suspects that this novel isn't the romance she thought it was. Unfortunately, solving mysteries is much harder when you're busy trying not to ruin the plot. Except the bookish world clearly wasn't ready for her either, because the moment she arrived, even the plot started improvising.

Maeve Whittaker has always trusted books more than people. Books are predictable. Books don't lie. And in the quiet comfort of her small-town library, Maeve has built a peaceful, solitary life-shelving stories, soothing chaos, and avoiding surprises at all costs. But when strange things begin happening between the shelves-whispers from worn spines, characters appearing where they don't belong, and one particularly baffling visit from a man who insists an encyclopedia smells like saltwater-Maeve's world starts to turn upside down. Then comes Daniel Carter: a newly arrived English teacher with kind eyes, a quiet smile, and a past he's not quite ready to share. He says he's here for a fresh start. Maeve isn't sure if she believes in those. As literary characters begin crossing into real life and the line between story and reality blurs, Maeve must decide if she's willing to rewrite her carefully structured life-or risk missing the greatest plot twist of all. A cozy, bookish tale of magic, mystery, and the courage it takes to turn the page.
