Summary
“Do you understand these rights as I have read them to you? With these rights in mind, do you wish to speak to me—“ The words didn’t matter because she heard screaming coming from the house, Powder.
She jumps up, and so many hands shoving her back in almost immediately. “Powder!!” She yells.
“Vi!!” She hears back, and in between two of these fuck ass cops she sees the light blue hair of her baby sister, a cop dragging her away.
”Don’t you fucking hurt her, you bastard!” She yells out at him, these fucking cops shove her into the car, slamming the door shut. Her words are proven useless as the cop continues dragging Powder away. At least they didn’t cuff her.

Summary
A flyer. An audition. A number—42—that feels less like a place in line and more like a lottery ticket out of poverty. For Alastor, walking into Morris Studios is an act of desperate hope. Surrounded by a cacophony of competition, he waits his turn, clinging to the memory of his mother's face. But when the moment comes, the polished performance he's prepared crumbles. In its place, he offers something far more vulnerable: a simple, tender song, sung without pretense. The man behind the glass doesn't just hear a voice. He sees a worth Alastor has never been allowed to imagine. And in a single, life-altering handshake, everything changes.

Summary
“His life had always orbited Oscar’s, like the smaller moon that never quite got far enough away to be anything else. Now, he could feel the orbit tightening. Gravity pulling them both toward the same center. He reached the Lexus, curled his fingers into the edge of the tarp, and took a breath. This was the line. He crossed it.”
Nico moves between worlds that should never touch. Private school uniforms and strip mall parking lots. Fluorescent classrooms and salvage yards. The fragile promise of escape and the older, fiercer pull of survival. At Woodlawn Preparatory Academy, there are quizzes and scholarship expectations and the slow, bewildering possibility of being seen. In Oscar’s orbit, there’s loyalty, danger, and the kind of love that has teeth in it.
When one world begins to bleed into the other, Nico finds himself caught between the life he’s always known and one he doesn’t know how to want.

Summary
It didn’t matter. His dad was back to sleep. And Kenny was one bass guitar short.
He’d managed to get that guitar by pure miracle. Sold way too cheap at a garage sale, just fixable enough to warrant buying some materials. Was it perfect? No. Was it the only thing keeping him from bashing his head through a wall during the school week? Also yes. And now it was gone.
Or, Kenny's dad sells his guitar, and with no way to outlet his stress, things build up fast.

Summary
Aria Ai-Hua Huang is everything the tabloids love to write about: the twenty-five-year-old Chinese-American heiress who runs her father’s luxury empire with flawless grace. With her sharp wit, striking beauty, and unapologetic confidence, she commands boardrooms as easily as she dazzles at galas. But beneath the glittering façade, Aria hides an ache she can’t shake. Every man she meets sees the heiress, not the woman. Every relationship has been shallow, transactional, and exhausting. She doesn’t want diamonds or adoration—she wants someone who can strip her down to her most vulnerable self and still choose to stay.
Yoo Hyesung. Soft and the kind of hopeless romantic Aria has never taken seriously. A scholarship student from Seoul with his own scars, Hyesung isn’t dazzled by her wealth or reputation. He sees her in a way no one else does—messy, human. Their chemistry is undeniable. What begins as an indulgence for Aria becomes something deeper, something that terrifies her more than her father’s looming expectations: real love.
Together, they must decide whether their differences make them combustible—or if the sin they’ve found in each other is the one thing they can’t live without…
