Marley Stone has always been sheltered, kept close, quiet. Her five older brothers are everything she's not: powerful, brave, untouchable. In their world, loyalty is law, and secrets are better left buried. But when cracks begin to splinter the glossy surface of their world, Marley starts to notice things she was never meant to. Lies buried in protection. As the truth unravels, Marley must decide: protect the brothers who raised her, or confront the darkness they've tried so hard to hide.

No one ever wanted Riley Knight: not her father, who made sure she didn't have any part in his or his families life; not her mother, who resented her for virtually everything; nor her step father, who has hated her since before she was born. Not even her own big brothers -- the ones who are suppose to love and protect her no matter what -- wanted her. Or so she thought. Riley is the product of an affair -- well her and her twin brother, Rome, are -- but she never had two parents. See, her father has always had "something against" the female sex and therefore, it is weak in his eyes to have a daughter. So he kept Rome and sent Riley away from the second the twins were born. He is the one responsible for turning his six sons against his youngest child and only daughter and, therefore, chaining her to a life of abuse and neglect. But did he succeed? Following her fathers death 7 years ago, Riley's brothers have taken a bigger interest in her and her quality of life, ensuring it was up to par. But all is still not perfect among the Knight siblings. Will Riley finally find her solace among her big brothers? Will they find out about the horrors she faces on a day-to-day basis? Can this family ever become one again ... or do the scars run too deep?

Perspective is a funny thing; Stirling Thomas, those two words alone were enough to have anyone running in the opposite direction and cowering in fear. The town has heard all of the rumours, they know he has just been released from prison and they know he is notoriously infamous for being in some sort of crime gang. But they don't actually know HIM. When his sweet old mama invites the girl next door to live with them for a while he has to learn how to find the balance between being a brutal crime lord or revealing something nobody ever thought he had - his heart. This isn't a gang story per say, it's more about the man BEHIND the gang. 🩶

"Breathe." He dipped his head down so that his lips were right at my ear, his strong arm wrapped securely around my waist, molding my body into his. "If you're going to fall apart,." He starts, teeth gritted. "Now's the time. I'll be here to put you back together when it's over." I squeezed my eyes shut again, and I did just that. I fell apart. ******* Secrets. Lies. Deception. Murder. I'd seen and done it all. And not willingly. So I left. I sacrificed my freedom to save myself, and the only way to ensure my own safety was to start over. Clean slate. New people. New me. But the last thing I expected when I arrived at Manonwell Prep Academy was to be bombarded by a boy-no, a man who held some unknown vendetta against me. Call it obsession, infatuation, hatred. To me it was all one in the same. He was everywhere I turned, like a shadow. Watching me. Taunting me. Haunting me. And it was all because of something I did to him a long time ago. It was something so bad that he couldn't stand me, that he wanted me dead, and the idea of making my life a living hell was something that he took pride in. But I didn't remember. I had no clue what I could've done to him in the past, but he was hellbent on pushing me until I did. My plans on starting over were shattered the minute I stepped inside that school. He was the type of person that demanded your attention without having to speak. He was untamed and wild and unhinged. But what he didn't know was that the Winter Travers that he knew in past, the one I didn't remember, was no longer alive. I was different. She was gone and I was here. And he was everything I should've been afraid of. Sinister, quiet, manipulative, but I knew it would be a cold day in hell before I let him win. Ronan was like gasoline waiting to be doused on the fire that inside me, and if he was ready to burn, then so was I.

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 changed the title to 'Collided' since that's how Heath and Hope met. Collided is available on Amazon in paperback & KU All links are on my profile.

"Let the beautiful world be just an illusion of lies." It had always been just the two of them - Irie and Finnick. Irie the sweet, but very quiet ten-year-old. The innocent kid; she never saw the ugly side of reality. She was happy. The trauma she had experienced as a baby had washed away all the bad memories from her past; she couldn't remember her parents. In her brain she had never had them - she only had her older brother. And he was the only person she ever even needed in her life. Irie never asked it to happen. Maybe she started to wonder about her past a little more, but she was a kid - of course a child without parents would some day think about their whereabouts. But she never thought that she would meet anyone else who shared the same blood with her. She did, two of them, and no, the other one was not her mother. Suddenly it all took a turn, and the life which had once been so beautiful in her innocent eyes started to be only a delusion of something horrible.

Stella Burns do not exist. There is no trace of her out there. Her name is unknown. Her existence is a ghost. She is hidden and sheltered from the cruel world that is desperate to eat away each shed of innocence and naiveté, which makes everything Stella Burns is. She is a child untouched by the world. But as always, the world catches up to everybody, even sweet Stella. Her whole safe world is shattered when she witnesses the first cruel reality. When her dear protector dies, she has no choice but to navigate her own path out into the outside world full of evil. She finds her brothers on a stormy day at a mansion doorstep. Once she steps in, her world shifts entirely, with her new protectors standing behind her back.
