Hayden Jones didn't mean to blow up her high school gym. She just meant to graffiti it. Now she's got a felony and a one-way ticket to some glorified boarding school in the Pacific Northwest. Caldwell Academy is not a fresh start. It's a reform school with nice pamphlets and a fountain and a judge's order keeping her here. The kind of place where everyone's got a story they don't tell and a reason they can't leave. She wasn't planning on making friends. She definitely wasn't planning on Elwood Hall and a bed six feet from a boy who doesn't smile, doesn't talk, and looks at her like she's a problem he didn't ask for. She should've left it at that. She should've left a lot of things at that. Because Caldwell has rules. And the thing about Hayden Jones is she's never met one she wouldn't break - even the ones that exist to protect her.

Saoirse keerwin thrives in loud atmospheres,the quiet is unsettling yet her life seems to be quite.constantly she battles the silence of unspoken words from her father and brothers unspoken thoughts,opinions worries about her condition are left,ingrained into their minds every time the look at her. Loud noises,make her jump with excitement, voices being heated whether it's an argument,fireworks,laughter it fills her with life and makes it easier to remember than the quiet ones. The tune of her violin had to be her favourite it wasn't too loud nor to quiet it ringed in her ears perfectly,smphonicly beautiful. Now she would barely hear one,not up close to her ears perfectly as she'd lean against it,not with her whole body trembling and misplaced twitching fingers. Not with playing the wrong cords as a lack of remembrance. It wasn't loud enough. Huntington's,Huntington's disease. Saoirse's life changed with her diagnosis. The world became quieter. She learned to like the quiet. Yet nothing stays quite for long not with two loud older brother,one with the constant theme tune of jingles and jangles of nickels in his pockets like a wind chime and the other a musician. And a certain junior doctor whoms quietness speaks waves of volume and intrigue during her hospital visits. (BWAM) written by rou.

The desire of blood. Marcello Russo, the only daughter of the infamous Don Russo. Born into blood, power, and secrets, she is the crown jewel of the Russo empire not because she's delicate, but because she's dangerous. The Mafia Princess. She's beauty draped in vengeance, a soft voice with a blade beneath it. People see her smile and think she's fragile until they feel the cold press of her gun against their ribs. She is her father's fury and her own fire. And then there's Marcello De Luca. The one man who sees her all of her and doesn't look away. Her brother's best friend. Her childhood protector. Her forbidden constant. He's older, deadly, and completely devoted to her. Marcello is the only one who can hold her without breaking, the only one she lets close enough to see the cracks. He has his demons, but he would gladly walk through hell if it meant keeping her safe even if that hell includes her six brothers watching his every move. Their love is unspoken but undeniable. Tension laced with longing, glances that scream louder than words everyone tells Marcello to stay away, but he never does.

At sixteen, 𝐍𝐲𝐥𝐚 𝐓𝐨𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐚 was taken. Not for ransom. Not for revenge. For training. Hidden away in a remote house in Nova Scotia, she was forced to become something she never chose to be-something dangerous. Something deadly. She had given up on humanity, until she met 𝐑𝐨𝐠𝐮𝐞. He was the strongest. The most feared. The one who wasn't supposed to feel anything at all. But he did. What they built in the dark was enough to destroy everything. Now, years later, the past isn't just haunting Nyla-it's happening again. People are disappearing. The pattern is too familiar to ignore. And the only person who can help her stop it... is the one she ran from. -𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 -𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐝𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐚 -𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐞𝐬 -𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 -𝐦𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫 -𝐦𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐡𝐦 -𝐦𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐲 -𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐬𝐭

Chiara Daveys is living a good life in England - if you ignore her constant struggle with food, lack of a guardian and how she's constantly working to pay the bills. At 17 years old, she's been unaware of her 6 brothers who have spent the 14 years of her absence searching for her. Giovanni, Harry, Lorenzo, Taylor, Emilio and Noah Moretti have felt the absence of their sister since she was taken from them by their own mother at 3 years old. Then, one day, she is found. And over a plane ride to America, her life gets turned upside down from everything she thought she knew. Although she has various struggles, she learns to bond and love her brothers, finding a life in New York that she never could've dreamt of.

They never tell you what to do when five girls from your school go missing. They never tell you what to do when you witness them getting murdered in the middle of the woods. Tragedy seems to follow me around. It constantly lurks behind me, waiting for the exact moment to snap its fingers and mess up everything. And that night, everything changed. Because, after that night, I wasn't the same person anymore. I'm not known for being reckless. It's not me. But now, after I saw death with my own eyes, I can't seem to care anymore about the consequences. I got involved too deeply, and now it's too late to turn around. There is only one rule. Lie. •••••• Genevieve Farrow is a sweetheart. A girl with a heart of gold who struggles on her own. No one sees the scars that she hides so well, or the battles she has to face every day. Despite the mask that she tries to put up, existing is just exhausting for Genevieve. Dealing with her own problems is more than enough for her. That's until she finds herself tangled in a crime scene that she can't run away from, and everything in her life seems to turn upside down. Pike Charleston is the type of boy people warn you to stay away from. Hot-headed, stubborn, and aggressive, he's known for his dangerous reputation. But he has secrets that no one knows of. A past that he desperately tries to forget. A boy that was forced to grow up sooner than he should have. Pike thinks he will never find peace, but when he gets a glimpse of her, it seems like happiness is in the cards for him. Two tattered souls finding each other. Both broken and lost. So wrong and yet so right for each other. But will love be enough to hold them together? Will it be enough to earn them a happily ever after? There's only one way to find out. •••••• Started: December 27, 2023 Finished:

𝐋𝐈𝐎𝐑𝐀 𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐖𝐘𝐍 wears pain like a second skin. It's all she's ever known, etched into her bones, buried beneath forced smiles and hollow laughter. A walking contradiction: all sin and sorrow, smoke and shadows. Once passionate, once burning bright, now nothing but ash and ruin. She pretends well, too well, but behind the sharp tongue and unbothered eyes lies a girl screaming to be seen, yet terrified someone actually might. 𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐒 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐑𝐈𝐍 was born into a world already at war with him. Pain wasn't just a chapter in his life, it was the whole book. Raised in shadows, fed by poison, his lungs filled with smoke and silence. He never asked for love. He never believed he deserved it. Drugs kept the demons quiet. Cigarettes kept his hands busy. Until her. The only good card he's ever been dealt, fragile, feral, and just as broken as him. Together, Liora and Ares are destruction wrapped in desire. A love not meant to be touched, yet impossible to resist. It's messy. Chaotic. Addictive. The kind of love that tastes like sin and feels like home. It's the kind of love that leaves scars, and still, they keep reaching for each other, again and again. What happens when two shattered souls try to build something whole out of ruin?
