Lacey Love Keane has always known how to outrun the past. Lip gloss sharp, heels higher, and heart locked up tight. But in Ballylaggin, the secrets don't stay buried, and the people you love don't always stay yours. Lacey's learning what it means to stay. To build something real. To be seen-and loved-for who she is, not who she's been. But loving Johnny Kavanagh is anything but simple. Because he's choosing her in secret, while the rest of their world falls apart in broad daylight. But nothing stays hidden forever. When ghosts from Lacey's past arrive with teeth, the fragile world she's built starts to crack. As friendships splinter and loyalties blur, the truth threatens to blow everything apart - especially when Lacey is forced to choose between protecting herself, or finally letting someone else try. Meanwhile, Johnny's caught between the girl who's tearing his world open-and the life everyone else built for him. To love Lacey means standing still when he's meant to run, and fighting battles that aren't his - yet somehow feel like they always have been. In a town that loves to talk, a secret love can't last forever. She's chasing her youth. He's chasing her. And the truth? It's catching up with them both.

The way my body matured differently than Shannon's. The way my body was curved and built for the eyes of man. I hated me. I hated everything. 𝐉𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐒 𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐍 𝐆𝐈𝐁𝐒𝐎𝐍 I was funny. Not as funny as my brother. I had a nice smile, my mother told me so(but she wouldn't believe me if I had told her) I was good at smiling, it made me look happy and that made me feel happy. I wanted to wipe any unhappy memories out of my brain, I wanted to clean the dirt dug into my skin. But I can't. So I'm just happy.

Niamh Lynch tries not to be angry. While her older brother and sister feel the weight of their situation on their shoulders every moment of the day, Niamh chooses to be gentle. She's always been sweet, even in the face of a terrible secret she keeps about her father. Owen Gibson is nothing like his brother. With a dead twin and a father he can't remember, Owen has only known tragedy since before he was in primary school. After being a "depressed loner" for his entire life, with a single friend in the world, he finally hangs with his brother's rugby-obsessed friends, including one with a bright-eyed younger sister that makes him want to spill all of his secrets.

Despite her fractured heart, her love for Garren is as consuming as it is unrequited, but she refuses to let him-or anyone-see the cracks beneath her glowing exterior. ♱ 𝙂𝙖𝙧𝙧𝙚𝙣 𝙆𝙖𝙫𝙖𝙣𝙖𝙜𝙝, the adopted brother of the rugby sensation, Johnny Kavanagh, has an undeniable streak of leaving women heartbroken, partying until the sun comes up, and disregarding even the thought of a relationship. Though, he'd be lying if he said that Delancey Gibson wouldn't be able to walk him like a dog, despite not being a couple-Garren is fiercely protective over baby Gibs, though nothing would ever be able to happen between them. But denying what he really feels is starting to take its toll, and the forbidden fruit might just prove too tempting to resist. male!oc! x female!oc!

Tadhg Lynch has never liked Niamh Gallagher-not in primary school when her life seemed perfect, and definitely not now at Tommen College. After his father's violent rampage tore his family apart, Niamh was one of the few who tried to be kind, but he lashed out, shutting her down. Years later, she's unrecognizable. Once warm, she's now the Ice Queen, untouchable and ruthless. Forced to be around her thanks to their best friends dating, Tadhg is thrown by her transformation. She's not the girl he resented, nor the one who pitied him-she's Frost, sharp-edged and cold. But beneath their bickering and hostility, something simmers. As tension builds, old wounds reopen, and neither can ignore the undeniable pull between them. Hate was easy. Wanting each other? That's dangerous.

NEVAEH CALLAGHAN, a girl that has been through hell and back, and moving to the town her childhood best friend lived in was the last thing she expected, but maybe he was the one thing that could bring her back to life. TADGH LYNCH, a boy that will be haunted by the demons of his family for the rest of his life, but the moment nevaeh comes back into his life, things begin to turn around.

(Boys of Tommen fanfic) Maeve Callaghan appears to have the perfect life. Her mother is a retired model, her father is a lawyer, a barrister actually. She goes to Tommen College, alongside her younger brother Quinn. They're rich, and happy...right? Wrong, and Tadgh Lynch knows exactly that.
