Tadhg Lynch He's the forgotten witness-the Joey Lynch doppelgänger who was too young to truly comprehend the gravity of Lynch's tragedy but too old to ever forget. Determined, athletic, attractive and an adopted Kavanagh Kid. For the most part, Tadhg Lynch was perfect. Lonely, but perfect. But there's one person who's a balm to that loneliness but also a walking migraine wrapped into one clusterfuck. Tadhg doesn't chase fights like an addict chasing their high, he bites when provoked. That being said, that notion seemingly dissolves around Ballylaggin's resident Wildflower, one Olivia Kataria. Olivia Kataria The wildflower is one of the lucky six scholarship recipients with a brain like no other-but an equally one-of-a-kind mindset that makes her a walking contradiction. Sporty, ambitious, beautiful and intelligent-Olivia Kataria is the dream-girl with an attitude that's the stuff of nightmares. And nobody's as well acquainted with her attitude as the boy who has been her academic rival since the first year, Tadhg Lynch. As their sixth year progresses; dynamics shift, their futures rewrite day by day. And as the pressure builds, what will be left? A diamond or collateral damage.

His face was torn. His tone sharp. Eyes sleepy and bleary, but redshot. He couldn't smile this time. It was too heavy. ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ 𝐇𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐨𝐮𝐭, 𝐬𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐟𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐚 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐞.

Blurb: Joey Lynch has never known softness. With his older brother gone, an abusive father looming, and the weight of four siblings on his back, Joey's learned to survive by shutting the world out - with fists, fire, and heroin. But just when the darkness feels permanent, a quiet voice begins to pull him out. Keira Kavanagh is known for her kind smile, her gentle presence, and her last name - sister to Johnny, Tommen's golden boy. No one sees the secrets she carries. No one knows that behind her perfect mask lives a memory she's buried deep, one that still haunts her every breath. He's chaos. She's calm. He's breaking. So is she. And yet, when they collide - it's not perfect. It's not pretty. But it's honest. It's healing. And maybe, just maybe, it's enough. Set in the world of The Boys of Tommen, this is the untold story of two souls surviving what they never should have had to - and holding on to the kind of love that demands to be fought for.

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.

"𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐘 𝐒𝐓𝐔𝐏𝐈𝐃 𝐆𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐒, 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐖𝐈𝐍 𝐒𝐓𝐔𝐏𝐈𝐃 𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐙𝐄𝐒..." Lexi Cameron has been a beautiful disaster from the day she was born. With a smile that could break your heart and make you beg for more, she's always been a whirlwind of chaos and charm. Patrick Feely knows this all too well. Growing up in the same small town but attending different schools, their paths always seemed to cross-each encounter leaving a mark. As Lexi's darkness begins to consume her, Patrick sees the pain beneath her wild exterior and offers her a cloud in the storm-a chance at something more, something healing. But the question remains: is Lexi too far gone to be saved, or can Patrick's love be the light that helps her find her way back before it's too late?

AJ LYNCH x fem! oc Second generation boys of tommen book! 'When you're all alone, I will reach for you. When you're feeling low, I will be there too.' AJ LYNCH is a boy with the two worst genes ever; his mother's persistance and his father's addiction. He holds one goal, and that's to make his parents proud. How would they react when he begins to fall for the one person he shouldn't? AUDREY HOLLAND wants to disappear. With the exception of the little sister, everyone on this earth is careless about her existence. So what is she to do when a persistent boy appears in her life?

She is under water, but he will pull her out. Whatever it takes. Tadgh Lynch doesn't do distractions. He's guarded, sharp, and has more baggage than he lets on. But starting at Tommen College, nothing's supposed to shake him-not even her. Jaylana Pierce is quiet, bruised, and hiding something no one else sees. Secrets are second nature to her. Survival depends on them. Tadgh knows he should stay away. But the more he sees through her walls, the harder that becomes. And saving her might just cost him everything.

Rory Kavanagh was fine until Maeve Gibson started dating his worst enemy. She's his best friend. She's not supposed to get under his skin like this. Now she's pulling away, and Rory can't stop watching, can't stop wanting. Something's off. Something's wrong. And he's running out of time to stop it.
