Very first story ever..... After losing her parents, Lila Calloway grew up in her best friend's house-protected, loved, and watched over like family. She was never supposed to fall for Ethan, her best friend's older brother. Ethan knows the rules: Lila is too young, too close, too off-limits. But the more he tries to bury his feelings, the stronger they burn. Every laugh, every fight, every stolen moment only pulls them closer to a line neither of them should cross. Now Lila is eighteen, and the truth can't stay hidden. Families will judge. Friends will question. But some love is too powerful to ignore-no matter the cost. A forbidden, coming-of-age romance about family, desire, and the line that changes everything.

Renna Rose Lancaster never searched for love. She stumbled into it long before she was old enough to know what to call it. It lived inside flower crowns that barely survived a minute on his head. Pebbles he slipped into her pockets because every treasure deserved a keeper. Muddy races neither of them remembered winning. Skinned knees that somehow stopped hurting the second he frowned at them like they were his responsibility to fix. Every version of tomorrow she ever imagined already had him in it. Not because anyone promised forever. Because some things feel too ordinary to ever disappear. Aadam Alaric Callahan never trusted forever. Forever belonged to grown-ups who said one thing and lived another. He trusted things that left couldn't lie. The rough scrape of bark beneath his palms. Rainwater collecting inside his trainers. The sting of scraped elbows after climbing somewhere he definitely wasn't supposed to. A little girl who somehow appeared wherever he went, carrying wildflowers in one hand and another impossible question in the other. He never wondered why she followed him. She simply always had. A presence so constant that the thought of losing her never once entered his mind. Children never hear the sound of their lives breaking in half. One day laughter becomes memory. Familiar roads begin leading somewhere else. And the person who once knew every unfinished thought becomes the stranger who remembers your oldest name. Some distances aren't counted in miles. They're counted in the people you had to become just to survive them. So what happens when the only place you've ever called home is standing right in front of you... ...but one of you still believes they were never meant to return?

Sixteen year old Aurora Lark didn't expect for everything to change, having to move to a new town and start a new school her senior year she feels completely out of her depth.

Crestwood Academy: where legacies are born, secrets are currency, and scholarship girls like Luna Ferreira don't survive - they endure. Luna's only goal is to keep her head down, ace her classes, and prove she belongs at the elite academy where power drips from every marble pillar. But the moment she collides - literally - with Arien Andersen, everything changes. Arien is cold, untouchable, and ruthless. He rules Crestwood like a king in designer suits, with a last name that makes professors flinch and students obey. He also has a best friend - Luna's brother - which makes him strictly off-limits. Too bad no one told Arien that. She's fire. He's ice. And in a school where loyalty is bought and enemies wear diamonds, one thing is certain: If Luna wants to survive Crestwood... she'll have to stop running from the boy who watches her like a storm about to break. And if Arien wants to keep his throne? He'll have to stop wanting the girl who could burn it all down.

In a world swallowed by shadows, where ruthless hearts rule and evil walks freely, kindness is a rare bloom in a field of thorns. Among the chaos, where mercy is weakness and love is a forgotten whisper, a little light dares to shine. She is that light. But can a fragile beam of sunshine survive in a storm of cruelty? Can innocence find peace in a world built on blood and betrayal? Can love bloom in a place where it's never been truly known? Let's find out.

When she's wrongfully kidnapped by the mafia, she has to learn how to trust people again and adapt to her new dangerous lifestyle. ---------------------------------------- ''You know Eliza, you have such a pretty little face. It would be such a shame to see it scarred, wouldn't it?'' he says as he drags the bloody knife along my cheek. Wait... Eliza? He thinks my name is Eliza? 'What are the chances you happen to just walk into my club on a random Saturday night?' His club... MY FAKE ID! ''E-Eliza?'' I mumble and he tilts his head slightly ''My name...i-its Charlotte'' ---------------------------------------- #1 ON FICTION 05/11/25 #10 ON PLOTTWIST 23/10/25 #13 ON DARKROMANCE 24/10/25 #7 ON MAFIA 25/10/25 #3 ON JEALOUSY 26/10/25 #5 ON POSSESSIVE 25/10/25 #1 ON ITALIANMAFIA 28/10/25 #11 ON LOVE 18/11/25 #1 ON MAFIABOSS 04/11/25

an·dro·pho·bia | \ ˌan-drə-ˈfō-bē-ə noun : an abnormal dread of men : repugnance to the male sex Thea is the definition of sweetness.

And when she meets the most terrifying of them all, she is forced to ultimately confront her fear. In the form of a murderous member of the mafia by the name of Synn, that same uncontrollable terror that she experiences in the presence of a man only sparks an interest in him.

Why does that same terror-stricken look on Thea's face only make his heart clench with pain instead of content? #1 in Hot #1 in Fear #1 in Scared #1 in Sweet #1 in Kind #3 in Cute #5 in Love Cover done by @kimtherespeopledying
