"If that demon were to see you, he would kiss your eyes and repent. Your body is sinful perfection. It's the apple begging to be bitten. You are like the tree in Eden in which no one- not even God himself- would be able to resist." ----------------------------- Saint Jones The boy who's hated Luci Black since the day she came to Kingston High. The boy who's bullied her since day one. The boy who can't help but get angry every time he looks at her. The boy with an aura of goodness radiating out of him. The boy who knows her secret. The boy who is trying to hide his. Luci Black The girl everyone can't help but stare at. The girl with the unrecognizable aura to her that makes people angry. The girl who tries very hard to be good. The girl that will never be "good enough" The girl with the secret no one must know. What will happen when the two secrets are revealed? What happens when Heaven and Hell meet?

Sierra Lancaster has had an agonizingly mediocre life. She grew up in a happy home, made loyal friends, graduated college, and is now pursuing her dream of running her own bakery. Boring, right? A story like this wouldn't be one for the books. At least not until you bring a hot neighbour into the mix. A tall, brooding, shredded (like, wash your clothes on those abs shredded), and wildly successful sports agent. Interested yet? It gets better. Said neighbour isn't just a rando, but Sierra's childhood nemesis that made her formerly chubby days a living hell. Now we're talking, aren't we? Holden Rey has always been the golden boy. Holden...golden...you following? You'd think the bitchy universe would do its job and throw some karma his way but to no avail. Not only has he got it all, but he knows it too. He also still has it out for Sierra and resumes being a jack-ass of epic proportions (and his ass ain't his only epic proportion) as soon as he realizes who the new girl next door is. It's the same old story with these two except this time, there's unwilling attraction and sexual tension underneath all the hate. Is it just lust or does the bitchy universe actually have a plan? So maybe this story is one for the books after all. *A hilarious, enemies-to-lovers, romantic standalone. Rated 18+ due to mature content. All rights reserved to TheFeveredBookaholic.*

Kaia Torres is a hard working college student, she just got back home for summer break. She wasn't looking for a relationship, instead she was focusing on getting things right for her future. But what happens when her new neighbours move in? She watches as an attractive man steps out of the car, seconds later joined by a young woman, was she his partner? Most likely. Well, better get back on with studying. ----------------------------- "I-umm, I wear underwear like this." I stuttered again. He kept stepping closer, swinging the red panties with each step. "Do you? These are quite revealing though, aren't they?" My cheeks were heating up. His eyes were burning through my soul. "Y-yes but they look pretty and I enjoy w-wearing them." I spoke. My breath hitched in my throat when he stopped walking. He was now towering over me. "Well, since you enjoy wearing underwear like this, you should try it on right?" He asked. I nodded again, not trusting my words. "For me." "F-for you?" I asked, confused. "Yes for me. Put them on when you get home and send me a picture. You can do that right?" His breath was fanning my face at this point. I needed it though, my face was on fire. "Y-yes." "Good girl." ----------------------------- ⚠️Warnings: mature themes, mature language, mention of alcohol and drugs, age gap relationship, sexual content I'm not good at writing summaries so just read, you will enjoy it :)

She's a wild, free spirit who sees the good in everyone, and he's the hardened, bad-tempered loner who wants nothing to do with her-yet no matter how hard he tries to push her away, she's the one temptation he can't escape. *** He's never met someone with such a bubbly personality. Not to mention the wildness and odd phrases she says every five minutes. He hates it. He hates how he can't stay away from it. He hates what she does to him; it's not like him to chase after some girl. She gets under his skin like no other. She's never met someone with such a bad attitude. He's ill-mannered and menacing. The glare never seems to leave his face. Considering it all, she can't help but feel the attraction toward him. Dangerous attraction toward a seemingly dangerous man. Maybe it's the tattoos on his arm that gets her attention. Or maybe it's because she can tell there's hope for good under his rough exterior. And she's about to find it, whether he likes it or not. It's no secret that the two of them are complete and total opposites. *** "You like being called Sugar, don't you?" I tease, placing my toothbrush back after finishing. He does the same and gives me a side-eyed scowl. He grips my chin harshly and kisses me. My body temperature raises a good ten degrees and my right leg goes all wiggly. He pulls away. "You like it when I kiss you, don't you?" He teases the same way I did to him and I'm left blubbering. "I think both of our questions are rhetorical," I lower my voice up at him. His lip curls up into a smirk. *** #1 in Young Adult #9 in Badboy #1 in Cold #3 in Goodgirl #1 in Sweetheart #14 in Love *** *Warning* This story contains mature themes (language, scenes)

I lean in being careful to not dive the knife too far in his throat but enough for it to bleed and leave a scar. Our faces are inches apart and I decide to speak : "Looks like I won. I could end you right now if I wanted" "Then do it". His reply takes me off guard "No, I am smarter than that, it's still not the time. I am a patient woman" I mutter despite the fact that I didn't believe a word I just said... of course I wasn't a patient woman. He takes advantage of my lack of focus and throws me to the side. He was now on top with his hand pinning my wrists down and his blood dripping on my chest. "You can lie to everyone, even to yourself Valeria, but not to me" he panted ------------------------- If you like: - Mafia romances - Childhood friends to enemies to lovers - Slow burn - Nightmare trope - Dagger to the throat trope - One bed trope - Comforting scenes - Girl badass vs dominant men - Characters with tragic backstories - Hates everyone but her - 🌶🌶🌶 Then this book is for you !

They say the best things in life are unexpected but so are the worst things. Especially the worst things. Lucas Cage has been blissfully ignorant to the harsh forthcomings of the world. Who can blame him? Growing up in a successful, millionaire family where legendary boxers are your blood has made him untouchable. His bold words, uncaring attitude, and cunning behaviour have always been forgiven by those who love and despise him alike. He's the devious boy that grew up into a malicious man even though his heart is in the right place. But what happens when tragedy strikes in his only known weakness: his family? His world as he knows it is turned upside down in the most unforgivable way and now he wants vengeance. He wants to hurt the way he's been hurt. And what better target than the only girl who's ever wrecked his heart? Olivia West has no idea she's become her former best friend's latest prey but that doesn't mean she's not ready for him. Because she wants her vengeance too and she wants it from the boy who shattered her heart all those years ago. She used to be his saviour but now she's his enemy and she plays the part disturbingly well. There's just one problem: devastation arises and threatens to rip both their families apart, something that's much bigger than the two of them. Their rivalry must be put on hold or they'll break under the weight of the world. For the first time in years they need each other, whether they like it or not, and discover that hate isn't the only passionate emotion that flares between them. But will they survive this unexpected path, or will they crash and burn? *Spin-off to the original FIGHTER'S DEN series. CAN be read as a stand-alone.
