For as long as Liam can remember, he’s harbored a quiet, unspoken love for Cara Moreno—his classmate, his dream girl, and someone who never even knew he existed beyond passing glances and shared classes. But Cara always had a boyfriend, and Liam? He kept his feelings buried, even from his closest guy friends. Now in their third year of college, fate finally gives Liam a sliver of a chance: a surprise project pairing with Cara… right after her sudden breakup. As Liam spends more time with her, the lines between partnership and something more begin to blur. Is she just being friendly? Or could this be the moment he’s been waiting for? But things aren’t that simple. Ava—the confident, persistent girl Liam rejected a year ago—hasn’t forgotten about him. And she’s not about to let Cara steal his heart without a fight. Torn between a long-held crush that might finally become something real, and a girl who refuses to be a footnote in his story, Liam must navigate friendship, loyalty, and his own heart before everything comes crashing down. In a world where timing is everything, will Liam's silence finally turn into something worth hearing?

Deirdre O Cleirigh: The Rise of a Celtic Warrior

This story is historical fiction with a touch of magic. Viking raids began in the late 8th century, particularly in the Western Isles and the Northern Isles of what is now Scotland and with attacks on monasteries and coastal towns in what is now Ireland. This story follows Deirdre O Cleirigh, a young girl in the idyllic village of Ulster, who dreams of adventure and heroism beyond her modest upbringing. Growing up in a land threatened by Viking invaders, her childhood is shaped by tales of courage and resilience passed down through generations. As the Vikings attack, Deirdre's spirit emboldens throughout her turbulent youth; compelled by the need to protect her family and home, she becomes a skilled warrior. As the siege intensifies, she gathers a coalition of warriors and citizens, inspiring them with her unwavering resolve and leadership. The turning point comes when Deirdre realizes that victory can only be achieved through the unity of all the people of Ulster—not just her warriors. Rallying the citizens, she empowers them to join the fight, tapping into their shared heritage and strength. Together, with the aid of local druids and her innate tactical skills, they craft a counter-offensive strategy to reclaim their city and their country. In a climactic battle, Deirdre leads her forces against the Viking stronghold, demonstrating courage, tactical acumen, and the power of community. Despite heavy sacrifices, the united front of citizens and warriors overwhelms the Vikings, forcing them into retreat. As the dust settles, Deirdre stands as a triumphant leader—heart heavy with the cost of victory but filled with hope for the future. Through her journey, Deirdre transforms from a frightened girl into a revered leader, fostering a new order in Ulster dedicated to fairness and resilience. The story highlights themes of unity, sacrifice, and the strength found in community, establishing a foundation for lasting peace and the flourishing of Ulster under her leadership. This is her story.
