With her thirtieth birthday looming, no romantic prospects, and a dream of motherhood slipping away, she's down to one last, desperate option: a decade-old pact made with her estranged childhood friend, Silas Beckett. The problem? Silas is now a superstar baseball player with a playboy reputation, and their friendship is a distant memory. Still, he agrees to their clinical, business-like plan: have a baby through fertility treatments, co-parent as best friends, and keep their hearts strictly out of the equation. But through sterile waiting rooms and late-night hormone shots, the old intimacy that once defined them rekindles into something deeper and far more dangerous. As the line between platonic and passionate blurs, their carefully constructed plan begins to fail in more ways than one. When they're left with nothing but failed treatments and inconvenient feelings, they have to face the fact that what they really want might not be a baby, but each other. But is a love born from a broken contract enough to build a new dream on?

"Ellis-" I squeak, heat radiating from my cheeks as he bends me over the back of his pristine couch. It's way too late at night, and I'm praying Beth doesn't wake up to find us here. Her best friend and her estranged father. "You wanna avoid me in my own house after weeks of begging to ride my cock and stay tied up in my bed? Fine." His lips fan slightly warm air across the back of my neck while his calloused hands firmly reclaim what I've been purposely withholding. My waist, my ass, pulling up my skirt. "Tell me how you'd like to be punished, Darling. Beg. If you're lucky, I won't ignore your request like you've ignored me." ⊹⋆₊🎀₊⋆⊹ Is your best friend asking you to move to Boston for the summer so she can reconnect with her estranged, ex-military sniper father? When you get there, is her father six-foot-five and deliciously aged? Is he all broad muscle and sweaty morning jogs? Does he make edits in the margins of your first draft manuscript... about BDSM? If you answered yes, you may be Darling Fields.

This is for us who just want to survive in a world that's failed us. Briar Hall wasn't supposed to notice me. But now there's a queen bee screaming my name, a boy with ocean-blue eyes threatening revenge for me, and secrets I'm not ready to share. I was aiming for invisible. Turns out I'm terrible at it. Watch me survive. Or not.

He had everything but purpose. She had grit, scars, and a ranch held together by hope and heartbreak. Sometimes, all you need is the wrong person at the right time. *** Beau Sterling is used to parties, privilege, and chaos-until a scandal erupts, leaving him exiled from Dallas high society and dumped at an Oklahoma ranch with nothing but his designer boots and a summer ultimatum. Lose the trust fund or learn the value of hard work, and maybe, just maybe, himself. Naomie "Winnie" Jameson survived heartbreak young and learned never to depend on charm or promises. She runs her family's ranch with stubborn pride, a sharp tongue, and a soft spot for second chances, even if those chances come wearing champagne stains and a fear of chickens. But Beau isn't just another spoiled city boy. Behind the headlines and bad decisions, he's the friend she lost years ago, the boy who once made her laugh, now trying to find his place in a world that doesn't want him. Thrust together by circumstance, they clash over everything except a shared grief, a wild streak, and the stubborn hope that this could be more than temporary. Between mucking stalls, surviving prairie wildfires, and dodging a vicious rooster named Pickles, Winnie and Beau discover that sometimes love finds you in the mess: in the silence after heartbreak, in muddy boots, in promises you're terrified to believe. And when Dallas calls him home, Beau must decide: Is he willing to risk everything for the girl who taught him how to stay?

Too bold, too sharp, too dangerous in a miniskirt. And she's never apologized for any of it. 𝙈𝙚𝙢𝙥𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙈𝙤𝙧𝙜𝙖𝙣, on the other hand, was the town's golden boy. Southern manners, a clean record, and a last name that opened doors - especially since his father was the sheriff. He was everything Cherry couldn't stand: polished, privileged, and infuriatingly polite. But what she never knew? He spent half his youth watching her, wishing he was brave enough to touch chaos with both hands. Years later, Cherry's still stuck in the same dead-end town, now haunted by grief and bitterness after the mysterious death of her brother. She spends her nights under the hood of broken-down cars and behind the counter of the Quik Mart, holding herself together with stubborn pride and Diet Coke. Then one night, Memphis shows up on her doorstep - bloodied, staggering, and barely conscious. And suddenly, he's not the golden boy anymore. He's unraveling. And he's asking for her. --- #3 in #southerngothic 8.15.25 #6 in #corruption 8.2.25 #7 in #enemieswithbenefits 7.28.25 #5 in #temptation 10.14.25

"You keep looking at me like you don't want me, Adeline," Will murmurs, his lips brushing against my jaw while hand slides higher on my bare thigh, slow and deliberate. "But your body says otherwise." My breath gets caught in my throat and my brain screams to say something, anything-but my lips won't move. "I..." I begin to say, but the words die before they even leave my lips the second his mouth touches my neck. ⊹₊⟡⋆ Adeline Serrano has a reputation to protect. Straight A's, flawless record, and the badge of honor that comes with being the principal's daughter. At Willow Creek Preparatory she's everything a good girl should be: polished, respected, and untouchable. But one drunken summer night changed everything. One kiss-hot, messy, absolutely forbidden-with the last person she should've been caught dead with. Will Carter. They don't call him the prince of chaos for nothing. The mayor's rebellious son. All smirks, bruised knuckles, and bad decision. Practically a walking scandal. Recently suspended for smoking with someone's daughter in the boys' bathroom. Now he's back- with a bruised jaw, a vendetta, and nothing to lose. So when Will decides to turn the school's poster girl into his newest distraction, Adeline's carefully built world begins to unravel. Secrets stir, bets are made, lessons are taught, truths unravel, and lines blur between hate and desire. She's pretending it never happened, he's planning to make sure she never forgets. Because some girls break rules. And the best ones? They shatter them.

Bad girl. Good boy. One last semester that could ruin or save them both. Aria DeLuca doesn't care what people whisper behind her back. The smoke, the eyeliner, the detentions she wears her reputation like armor. But underneath, she's tired of being the school's cautionary tale. Noah Whitaker has everything under control. Perfect grades. Perfect manners. Perfect future at least, that's what his parents demand. But behind his glasses and golden-boy smile, he's suffocating. When Aria gets assigned to Noah for tutoring, sparks fly more like fire. She thinks he's too uptight. He thinks she's too reckless. Everyone says they're a disaster waiting to happen. But sometimes the wrong person is the only one who sees you clearly. Enemies. Fake dating. Rumors. First kisses. Heartbreak. And maybe, just maybe... love worth burning for.
