In the tranquil waters of Hawai'i, Hokulani and Nikau wonder if it's possible for a song to go on forever. 


                                                                  	                         *****


For as long as Hokulani can remember, she's always felt like she's treading water. Everything she loves becomes a means to escape from what's happening around her or, worse, the unsteadiness of her mind. She even finds her passion for music slipping through her grasp, though she tries her best not to completely let that go. And even though the arrival of an up-and-coming musician from Aotearoa causes waves, she's unable to fully enjoy her life. Unable to release that breath she feels like she's been holding onto ever since her father passed away. 

When her family is hit with complicated news, the Kahananui woman must make difficult decisions for themselves, including one Hokulani isn't sure she fully understands. But even when their choices are made, they bring up memories they've all been trying their best to forget, forcing them to face the reality deep inside the family's hearts.

Hokulani takes refuge in the comfort her shared feelings with Nikau bring, but just because she wants something, doesn't mean it's enough. She knows she has a lot to work through on her own, and with the understanding that his year on the island will eventually come to an end, the two of them spend endless nights wondering if they can somehow make a song go on forever.

If I Take The Risk by QueenBreezie

Formerly known as 'His Saving Grace' Welcome to Western Sydney. Not the safest, not the happiest and not the best place to live. Rivalries between the innerwest and greaterwest gangs. Organised riots and brawls happening every month was something normal. Break ins, vandalism, domestic violence, racism, was expected. The pacific islanders where judged harshly, some of them even had the community fearing them. The government was corrupted, and the police had no intentions of protecting their community. So in a world like this, love was something that was ignored. Stepped on, spat at. The word was abused so many times and it got to the point where barely anyone knew what true, genuine love is. No body fell in love anymore. Everyone was looking for a good time, no one was serious. Did people fight for what they love anymore? Did anyone want to graduate school anymore? Or was life one long party for most people? So this is the story of Kaea and Treymaine. Love? Or loss? Is it worth it? To take the risk and fall entirely. ____ The first book of the 'If I ' series.

The small lakeside town in Idaho where she spent every summer until she was eighteen at her uncle's cabin. It's the last place she was truly happy, so the day Gaby and Tay move out, Charlie packs up her car and embarks on the 1,800-mile drive. She has no idea what to expect when she gets there: her uncle sold the cabin six years ago, after all, and the last time she was there she was surrounded by her cousins. This time around she is alone, and she is lonely. When she revisits the old cabin, it's pure nostalgia. Until she is caught by the neighbor. Who just happens to be the most beautiful woman Charlie has ever seen. She is smitten, instantly, and all of a sudden her trip to Fisher has a purpose.

But the more time they spend together, the less sure Charlie is, and when a freak event throws them together, there's only one way to find out.

The Butterfly Effect by MrsDarcy___

"I want how it was before. I want it all with you in my life again... I'm asking you to stay." Miles Cobain-Smith An aloof and detached logician, he scrutinizes the simplest things through microscopic lenses. Academic validation, family expectations, and unwavering care for the few people close to him sum up his life, and he certainly doesn't have time for love... yet. Juliet Everly A hopeless romantic, she sees the world through rose-colored glasses. According to her, love is magical and the purest thing one can ever encounter. Her world revolves around her dad and friends, and she's very content in her small-town life. She finds solace in romance books, nature, music, and her quiet attachment to bygone eras and everything vintage. Their paths cross. Clashing is inevitable, but there's something more... underneath the teasing remarks, stupid jokes, and laughter, an undercurrent too perplexing to decipher. When ignoring the spark becomes too much, their lives take a whole different turn. Hopes get crushed, dreams get shattered, and hearts get broken as the unexpected hits like a whirlwind. Gentle walks in the rain, soothing ocean breezes, hushed revelations, and an idyllic small town as a tranquil backdrop - how long until the picture-perfect expectations crumble into a mess of feelings too hard to hold back? All we can say is, it will be something unforgettable. Featured on @romance @storiesundiscovered @YA
