Imogen was everything Joey wasn't, soft, sweet, rich. They were two worlds apart. His life was a mess of abuse, addiction, and trust issues. He didn't have time for a relationship. And she was starting to find happiness away from her past. It would never work. Or at least it shouldn't. So why couldn't he stay away from the girl plastered in pink with a sparkle too bright to ignore. Joey Lynch x OC

Joey and Mary meet when she helps protect his sister from bullying, and from the start, Joey doesn't trust her. She's too loud, too involved, too much. But Mary refuses to back down, especially not from a grumpy guy who looks at her like she's a problem he doesn't want to solve.

𝗣𝗵𝗼𝗲𝗯𝗲 '𝗕𝗮𝗯𝘆' 𝗠𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘆 is nothing like her siblings. She's not confident like her big sister, and she sure as hell doesn't feel as smart as her older brother. Her place in the family is 'calm, unproblematic youngest child,' and she wants to keep it that way. Being known as well behaved is better than being known as a crybaby. She doesn't need anyone knowing about her internal confusion and lack of friends; she has her special notebook for that. If there's one thing she's good at, other than writing, it's hiding things. But when her father has her stuck doing phone duty at his motor shop, she starts to grow close to his apprentice, 𝗝𝗼𝗲𝘆 𝗟𝘆𝗻𝗰𝗵. She comes to find out he hides as much as she does, although his reasons are different. As they become friends, Baby's feelings change from friendship to love. If he were anyone else, it wouldn't be a problem. But he isn't anyone else; he's Joey, the boy Aoife's been interested in since forever. And Baby refuses to steal her big sister's crush. Family is above anything else. Her big sister deserves to be happy, even if it's with the boy she loves. Joey doesn't even like her that way... right?

Delilah Holland was the younger sister to Shane Holland, the local dealer of Cork. She didn't let it define her, didn't let it ruin her. Joey lynch has always been a protector. When life just keeps getting harder, he runs to the one thing he thinks can help him. But when he goes to the drugs, there is a girl there. One who he can't seem to leave alone. Delilah and Joey start a friendship. One that blooms into something more. Until one night, it all gets ruined. And might never get rebuilt.

... ୨୧ IN WHICH Fallon Isabelle Young-the saint of the Young family, all pale ribbons, trembling halos, and eyes too innocent for the things she survives-learns far too early that even angels can be taught how to bleed. That monsters do not always hide beneath beds. Sometimes they pluck your wings feather by feather until kindness begins curdling into something sharper. Uglier. Until a little girl once raised on bedtime prayers and gentle hands learns how to survive with a sinner's tongue instead. Fallon grows into a peculiar contradiction: beautiful and vicious, Holy and furious all at once. A girl who smiles while self-destructing. A girl who turns cruelty into armour because tenderness got her hurt first. Then she meets Joey Lynch. Ballylaggin's worst-kept temper. A boy built from clenched fists, buried bruises, and rage so deeply rooted inside him it has begun masquerading as personality. Joey carries his own monsters quietly, tucked beneath sarcasm and violence and the sort of recklessness that only exists in people who do not believe they are worth saving. He understands fallon immediately. Which is the most dangerous thing of all. Because damaged people recognize each other in ways healthy people never can. And when their worlds collide, so do the things haunting them. Secrets begin spilling from the cracks. Trauma begins speaking in places words cannot. Anger becomes intimacy. Destruction becomes devotion. They begin orbiting each other with the terrifying dependency of two wounded things mistaking survival for love. The saint becomes a sinner while the sinner begins craving salvation. The question is- Can Joey Lynch restore the girl Fallon used to be? Or has she been surviving as somebody else for far too long? And can Fallon chase away Joey's monsters when she could never outrun her own? Or will they simply teach each other new ways to break? Because some people heal together-and others detonate on impact.
