Sixteen-year-old Eleanor "Ellie" Biggs is done. Done with London, with the bullies who broke her, with the whispers that she's defective like her mam, destined to burn out or fade away. Back in Cork- for good, she's promised herself one thing: no one gets close. Not friends, not boys, not anyone. But then there's Cillian Ryan. On the surface he's Tommen's golden boy - the rugby star captain with the grin everyone falls for. Underneath, he's crumbling under the fists of his father, the silence of his mother, and the weight of protecting a little brother who's running out of smiles. Neither of them are looking for each other. But when Ellie's walls crack and Cillian refuses to walk away, something shifts. She's the girl who swore she'd never trust again. He's the boy who swore he'd carry it all alone. Together, they might just be brave enough to face the storms no one else sees. Messy, magnetic, and unflinchingly real - this is a story about first love, family scars, and finding light in the dark.

Caoimhe Kavanagh Sixteen, quiet but stubborn. Always the good girl, the rule-follower-until Aidan. She's smart, a little lost, and suddenly in way over her head. But she's all in. Heart first, logic later. Aidan Holland Seventeen, bruised in more ways than one. Loyal, guarded, and trying like hell not to ruin the one good thing in his life-Caoimhe. He's never had soft before, and now he's terrified to lose it. Set in early 2010s Cork, Finding 17 follows sixteen-year-old Caoimhe, the girl who's always done everything right, and Aidan, the boy born into everything wrong. Their secret connection ignites-messy, reckless, and impossibly tender. But as lies pile up and threats close in, they'll both have to choose: stay safe or risk everything for a love that was never supposed to happen.

Georgia O'Neill's always been the strong one. Since losing her parents, she's been holding her world together - looking after her brother, working extra hours, pretending she's fine when everything's crumbling. She's not used to people staying. Not used to anyone caring enough to see past the mask. Then there's DJ Lynch - Tommen's golden boy. Loud, funny, full of charm. The kind of lad who makes life look easy. But when the laughter fades, DJ's left with thoughts he can't quiet, grades slipping through his fingers, and a fear that if anyone knew how bad it really gets - they'd stop looking at him the same. They're both pretending for different reasons. Both breaking in ways no one else can see. And somehow, they keep finding each other - after school, after work, after everything falls apart again. This is a story about two kids who don't know how to ask for help - and the quiet, unspoken love that teaches them how.

Inspiriert von den Winterwonderlandromanen "Like snow we fall" und "Like fire we burn" geschrieben von Ayla Dade, habe ich diese Geschichte geschrieben. Wer Poesie und das knistern vom Feuer im Kamin liebt, der ist hier genau richtig. Die Charaktere und die Grundhandlung gehören mir. Die Bücher dienten zur Inspiration. Ruby und Kayden könnten unterschiedlicher nicht sein. Sie, ein Mädchen mit Hoffnung im Gepäck, das einen Neuanfang wagt. Er, ein Eishockeyprofi, dessen Hoffnung schon lange nicht mehr existent ist. Verlorene Seelen erkennen sich untereinander. So auch hier.

surefire, "certain to succeed". The last thing Taylor Childress expected from her dad's new job was to be dropped on her aunt's doorstep, relegated to a converted garden shed, and stuck working a barely-paying shift at the brand-new (and already despised) Starcourt Mall cinema. She definitely didn't expect to stumble straight into a Russian conspiracy simmering beneath the food court. And she certainly didn't expect Robin Buckley to be the one person who makes all the danger feel strangely worth it. [robin x oc] [season 3-5] ongoing

𝙊𝙋𝙃𝙀𝙇𝙄𝘼 𝙇𝙔𝙉𝘾𝙃'S fury was a storm that broke loose the second she saw her sister go down. Without a second thought, she mistook 𝙅𝙊𝙃𝙉𝙉𝙔 𝙆𝘼𝙑𝘼𝙉𝘼𝙂𝙃 for the culprit and decided he deserved a dose of his own medicine. Grabbing the rugby ball, she launched it back at him with a force that was all raw, righteous anger. Johnny saw her, and in that moment, the entire world outside of her seemed to fade away. He was a boy who lived and breathed the game, but her sheer intensity pulled his attention off the pitch. It wasn't her body he noticed first, but her eyes-the color of whiskey, sharp and defiant, framed by dark lashes that contrasted with the soft, rebellious pink in her hair. He noticed the way she swallowed hard, as if choking down words she couldn't dare to speak, and the way her jaw tightened before she unleashed a snarky remark at his best friend, Gibsie. He was captivated. But he knew, with a certainty that was both thrilling and terrifying, that girls like her came with a warning label. They were the ones who broke you and then laughed as you bled. Still, a dangerous instinct told him that to let her walk away would be a regret he'd carry forever. ♱ ᴏᴘʜᴇʟɪᴀ ʙʀɪᴅɢᴇᴛ ᴍᴜʀᴘʜʏ, ᴛʜᴇ ᴄʜɪʟᴅ ᴏꜰ ᴀ ʟᴏᴠᴇʟᴇꜱꜱ ᴀꜰꜰᴀɪʀ. ᴛʜᴇ ᴏɴᴇ ᴡʜᴏ ʜᴀꜱ ʙᴇᴇɴ ʙᴇᴀᴛᴇɴ ᴅᴏᴡɴ ᴀɴᴅ ɢᴜᴛᴛᴇᴅ ʙʏ ʜᴇʀ ᴏᴡɴ ꜰᴀᴍɪʟʏ. ᴛʜᴇ ʏᴏᴜɴɢ ɢɪʀʟ ᴡʜᴏ ʙᴇᴄᴀᴍᴇ ᴛʜᴇ ʀᴇᴀᴄᴛɪᴠᴇ ᴅᴏɢ. ꜱʜᴇ ʙɪᴛᴇꜱ ᴅᴏᴡɴ! ꜱʜᴇ ᴇᴀᴛꜱ ʏᴏᴜʀ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ! ʙᴜᴛ ꜱʜᴇ'ꜱ ꜱᴄᴀʀᴇᴅ, ᴄʀʏɪɴɢ ᴀɴᴅ ᴘʀᴀʏɪɴɢ ꜰᴏʀ ᴀ ᴡᴀʏ ᴏᴜᴛ! ♱

"Wieso machst du das?" Fragte ich ihn "Keine Ahnung, dumme Angewohnheit." Sagte er darauf Schulter zuckend. Kurz zögerte ich doch dann verschränkte ich meine Hand einfach mit seine. "Bitte hör auf da mit." Er lachte auf. "Ich muss noch aufpassen mit dir! Nicht das du noch einen guten Einfluss auf mich hast und mich zu einen besseren Menschen machst." Sagte Chris leicht lachent. "Du bist schon längst ein guter Mensch!" Sagte ich darauf. Überrascht guckte er mich nun an und zum ersten mal sah ich eine verletzlich Seite an ihn. Aufeinmal konnte ich all den Schmerz in seinen grünen matten Augen sehen. "Du bist die erste Person in meinem Leben die das sagt!"
