The Things We Never Saw: The Threads We Cannot See, Book 1

By Ainsley Shanelle

Two boys. One heart. And a thousand things she never saw coming.

I thought I had my life figured out.
College was supposed to be a fresh start - a chance to step out of the shadows, chase my dreams, and finally stop waiting for someone else to choose me. Especially Trey Moore, the boy who had my heart long before either of us knew it.

But growing up means growing apart, and the deeper Trey sank into his new world, the more invisible I became in his.

Then came Vincent Mason - all quiet smiles, knowing looks, and a gravity I couldn't seem to resist.
A rivalry on the field.
A spark in the dark.
And a truth I never could have seen coming.

When everything I thought I knew starts to unravel, I'm forced to confront a chilling reality:
Some secrets hide in plain sight.
Some betrayals cut deeper than goodbye.
And some loves were never meant to be tamed.

This is the story of the things we never said.
The hearts we never protected.
And the shadows we never saw... until it was too late.

For fans of emotionally rich coming-of-age stories and complicated love triangles,
The Things We Never Saw is a heartfelt exploration of friendship, first love, and the unseen moments that change everything.
Torn between a boy who's always been home and a stranger who sees her in ways she never expected, Vanessa Harrison must navigate heartbreak, hidden truths, and the fragile line between loyalty and self-discovery.

The Things We Never Saw explores themes of love, loss, friendship, and hidden truths. Some scenes reference missing persons and emergency medical situations. Please take care of yourself while reading.
