Silent Half
Reads
Book One of The Valerius Letters In the coastal Valerius household, twin sisters were born minutes apart and given entirely unequal lives. Amara is the golden one - praised, celebrated, adored in every room she enters. Alina is the quiet one - overlooked by her parents, but never unloved. She has her three older brothers, her doting paternal grandparents, a nanny who raised her with more warmth than her own mother ever offered, and a secret basement studio where she paints the feelings she's never allowed to speak aloud. She also has Liam - a relationship hidden from everyone but a small circle who know the truth neither of them will tell her: that Amara sent him to her on purpose, to break her heart quietly, from the inside. When a night of reckless choices ends in a stranger's death, the family closes ranks - not around Alina, but against her. Blamed, abandoned, and left behind while her parents, her twin, and the boy she loved flee the country, Alina is imprisoned for a crime she didn't commit, her case seized by a government that finds her useful as a political symbol. Behind bars, something unexpected happens. Elias - cold, watchful, bound by a debt of loyalty that once kept him silent - becomes the one constant she has left. And in the quiet of a cell, Alina begins to reckon with a secret bigger than the one that put her there: the cancer she's been hiding for years, and the time she no longer has. Told entirely through Alina's eyes until its final pages, Silent Half builds to eleven letters, one impossible request, and a single night under the open sky - before pulling back to show what her death did to the four people who loved her most: the brother who shouted at her, the brother who missed it, the brother who couldn't save her, and the sister and lover who buried it all in silence for five years. Silent Half is the first book in The Valerius Letters - a series about the people left holding what someone else could no longer carry.

My Hockey Heartthrob: A Promise in Overtime
Reads
He promised her forever. Then he broke it without a word. Mara Bennett survived the wreckage — the breakup, the loss she never told him about, the years of rebuilding herself from nothing. She became a journalist because it taught her to read the truth in people's faces, after the one person she trusted gave her none. Adrian Cole became a champion because it was easier than becoming a man who had to explain himself. Now she's assigned to cover his championship run — and every cold interview, every guarded answer, cracks a little more under the weight of what he never got to say. He's cold for the cameras. He's not cold for her. Some promises don't die. They just wait for the right season to come back for you. # Stary Writing Marathon #MyHockeyHeartthrob
