𝐍𝐄𝐄𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝟏𝟑 Book 1 in the Legacy of Tommen series 𝐃𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐊𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡 The boy everyone in Ballylagin knows. Rugby's golden boy. The fighter in The Den. Cold. Calculating. Untouchable. Damian Kavanaugh doesn't feel things the way the rest of us do. At least, that's what I thought. Until he starts noticing me. He calls it protection. I call it suffocating. And somewhere between the bruises, the broken promises and the way he looks at me like I'm something he refuses to lose, I realise Damian Kavanaugh doesn't know how to love without holding on too tightly. But when rugby starts slipping away from him, I'm forced to wonder- If he loses the one thing that made him feel whole, will he lose himself? Or will he finally learn that loving me means letting me choose him? · · ─ ·ʚɞ· ─ · · 𝐀𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐤𝐚 𝐄𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐚 𝐋𝐢𝐮-𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐧 The girl who feels everything. Too anxious. Too soft. Too determined to earn love from someone who never seems willing to give it. Annika Liu-Wilkinson was never supposed to matter to me. Then she started dancing in my sister's ballet studio. And somehow, I started noticing everything. Every nervous glance. Every quiet apology. Every time she made herself smaller for someone else's comfort. She thinks I protect her. Maybe I do. But I also watch her. Control her. Need her far more than I know how to admit. And when she tells me that being loved shouldn't feel like being watched, I realise I've spent my entire life learning how to hold on without ever learning when to let go. Because I know how to want Annika. I know how to keep her. I just don't know if I know how to love her.

After an incident at her old school leaves Erin Foster suspended and her childhood best friend dead, her parents decide they've had enough. Sent from England to Cork to live with her aunt Maeve, Erin is enrolled at Tommen College with one goal: keep her head down, stay out of trouble, and get home. Then she meets Johnny Kavanagh. Erin has no idea who he is, why everyone else does, or why the rugby-obsessed golden boy seems determined to figure her out. But Erin came to Cork with secrets she has no intention of sharing and Johnny Kavanagh might just become the first person she wants to tell.

Just when Rory Lynch thinks her life might already be over, she's handed something dangerously close to hope. Raising her siblings is second nature by now; feeding them, dressing them, shielding them from the worst at home. Protecting them? That's instinct. But no one's ever really succeeded in protecting her. Enter Niall Walsh: personified grump, local rugby god, arms of tattoos and a permanent scowl - except when it comes to his nine year-old sister. He's the last person Rory expects to care. And maybe the first one who really does. BOYS OF TOMMEN | OC x OC

He was Dublin's golden boy, the kind of kid you wouldn't want your parents to meet as he set the bar far too high. Yet underneath all his charm, there was a selfishness to him he kept well hidden under a guise of passion for his sport. 𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐬 doesn't remember a day being out of water; he has spent his entire life swimming laps up and down bodies of water. It didn't matter if it was chlorine or seawater; if there was a body of water, he would be in it. The longer he spent in the pool, the more he got addicted to the feeling of winning; unlike his younger brother, Thomas thrived in environments where he could work alone. His isolated throne on the first-place podium was his home, and nobody could take that for him. That was until he stumbled across a certain hot-tempered ballerina. 𝐋𝐢𝐥𝐲-𝐀𝐧𝐧𝐞 𝐆𝐢𝐛𝐬𝐨𝐧 has only ever known fire. Her entire life was one big competition, and the world was her enemy. It didn't matter if they were friends or family; everyone was an opposition in her mind. She wasn't sweet and loveable like her little brother; no, she was violent. Every word that came out of her mouth landed like acid on her loved ones' skin. 𝐋𝐢𝐥𝐲 had a dream, and no one was going to get in her way. She was going to be THE prima ballerina of her generation, get the fuck out of cork, and she was not afraid of getting blood on her hands to get there. After all, blood was all she had ever known... Ballylagin, Ireland, 1995-2007

Maisie Biggs is used to being invisible. While her sister, Claire, lights up every room she walks into and her brother, Hughie, seems to belong everywhere, Maisie has spent most of her life fading into the background-quiet, guarded, and haunted by the voice in her head that insists she'll never be enough. After two miserable years at Ballylaggin Community School, where whispers followed her through crowded hallways and cruelty became impossible to escape, Maisie is forced to start over. New school. New people. A fresh start she never asked for. But Tommen is nothing like BCS. Surrounded by her siblings larger-than-life friends, unexpected kindness, and attention she doesn't know what to do with, Maisie finds herself caught between wanting to stay hidden and desperately wishing someone would finally see her. Then one boy does. And for the first time in her life, Maisie begins to wonder what it might feel like to be chosen. To be wanted. To be enough. But when you've spent your whole life believing the worst about yourself, letting someone in might be the most terrifying risk of all.

Tadgh lynch and Bethany Gibson promised to be best friends forever. Until trauma hit the both of them and drifted apart.

Tadhg Lynch was broken. Perhaps too broken for a boy of his age. After living a life of torment, abuse, and emotional and physical turmoil, his world had tilted on its axis when his father, Teddy Lynch, set their home on Elks Terrace ablaze, murdering both himself and Tadhg's mother, Marie Lynch. After a heroic rescue of him and his little brothers by Johnny Kavanagh, Irish rugby superstar and his sister's boyfriend, he was finally provided with a loving home, parents, and the stability he, and his five siblings, should've recieved from the start. From then on, you could've said that Tadhg had finally begun living a semi-normal life. That's until he met her. Bethany Gibson. The little sister of Gerard "Gibsie" Gibson that would have his ego on a leash, and his heart in her hands. Bethany shouldn't have made it after falling off the edge of a yacht with her father and brother, Joe and Gibsie, following soon after in 1995. At least, that's what the adults had said when they thought she wasn't listening. Her father, who didn't make it out like her, haunted her dreams and thoughts wherever she went. Her father, the man who died trying to save her. The events of the haunting day of her brother's Holy Communion were nothing more than a blur. She was only a baby when everything had went down. But the guilt? The trauma from an event she could barely visualise? It weighed her down and submerged her in a sea that was more formidable than the one she'd almost died in ever could be. However, the monster created when she was a baby was not the only one weighing her down. A monster that was more near, more evil, more invasive, and the one that changed her from the bubbly, loveable girl she once was. The one that's long list of child victims did not stop at her.

He's a ghost running on zero sleep. She's a broken prodigy hiding behind a perfect smile. To the rest of Tommen, Tadhg Lynch is the brooding, short-sentenced hurler who looks like he's one bad day away from a fight. The last thing Tadhg needs is someone snooping into his business, he has enough of fighting the monsters inside his head. Leah knows all about surviving monsters-she lives with one. Dragged from country to country by an unstable mother, her only escape is the ice rink, even if her feet are screaming and her heart is giving out. They say pain recognizes pain. In Jersey Number 14, Leah might just find the only anchor strong enough to keep her from drowning. And Tadhg could find the only person capable of climbing up his walls. ━━━━━━━━━━ ⋆★⋆ ━━━━━━━━━━ Trigger Warnings: This story contains explicit content and mature themes, including abuse, violence, mental health struggles and disorders, death, underage sexual relationships, alcohol and drug use, and heavy use of strong language.

She was like looking into a mirror. Or reading a book I've always had but only skimmed through. 𝐄𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐘 𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐖𝐍 was the oldest daughter in her family. The first try. The first mistake. She carried responsibility like it was stitched into her bones. Moving to Ireland was meant to be a new start-a quiet hope that distance from London might soften the edges of everything. But it hasn't. Of course it hasn't. It's just given her a new place to hold everything together, again. Emory is fraying, but she can't let it show. Her siblings need her steady. They need her unbreakable. And that's what she makes herself. 𝐓𝐀𝐃𝐇𝐆 𝐋𝐘𝐍𝐂𝐇 moves through the world like nothing can touch him. Easy confidence-sharp tongue. Untouchable on the Hurling pitch. He's the boy the teachers don't know what to do with, he's brilliant, but careless-Always needing something to challenge him, or else he's distracted. But underneath all that easy is something unsteady. His childhood was built on volatility. An angry father, a numb mother-and when the fire took them both, Tadhg didn't know what to do. How to live in the soft moments, the quiet-he wasn't even sure what that was. He carries the quiet, suffocating guilt of survival-the feeling that every breath he takes is stolen from his mother, who never got to keep hers. _________________ 𝐓𝐀𝐃𝐆𝐇 𝐋𝐘𝐍𝐂𝐇 𝐱 𝐄𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐘 𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐖𝐍 (𝐎𝐂)
