Caoimhe Kavanagh doesn't do feelings-especially not for Liam Gibson. He's loud, charming, and hopelessly in love with someone else. But somewhere between the teasing and the late-night chats, she falls. And the worst part? He doesn't even see her.

Edel doesn't do soft. She doesn't do safe. And she definitely doesn't do sober. She walks into BCS with sharp eyes, dirty secrets, and an addiction she pretends she controls. A dead father. An alcoholic mother. A home that never felt like one. Until John Kavanagh. John has money, a future, and a family that still works. A life Edel was never meant to touch. Different worlds. Same school. She doesn't need saving. He doesn't know he's trying anyway. Some girls don't run because they're reckless. They run because staying would kill them.

After suffering a tragic loss, Rory and her mam move to Cork, Ireland. She thought that life would never get better, until she laid eyes on Tadgh Lynch, and everything changed. For better, or for worse.

Finn Gibson. Number seven on the rugby team. A gentleman, proper like. Always opening doors and saying things like "after you" and "you alright there?" in this soft voice that somehow makes you feel seen. He's funny too - not the show-off type of funny, more the kind where you're halfway through laughing before you realise it was even a joke. Real clever wit, quiet like. It's not fair, honestly. And he drums, like actually properly drums, not just tapping out rhythms on the school desk like every other lad in Tommen. He's in a band and all. Do I like him? Yeah. I like him loads. More than I should. But this isn't that kind of story. I come from a house where everything's heavy. Where things crack and break and no one says sorry. Where nice things don't last, and if you want something - really want something - it gets used against you. You don't let your heart out in a place like mine. You learn to nod and keep quiet and do what Da says, even when you hate it, even when it's wrong. That's just how it is. So when Finn looks at me like I matter - really, properly matter - I want to believe it. I want to tell him I think about him when I fall asleep. So yeah. I like Finn Gibson. But liking someone like him... it feels like trying to hold light in your hand. Beautiful. Impossible. *** Mina O'Neill. Jesus, I don't even know where to start with her. She's the most beautiful human being I've ever seen in my life, and I mean that with my whole chest. She moves like she doesn't even touch the ground. A ballerina, and not the stuck-up kind either. She's always working, always rehearsing, and when she talks about dance, it's like watching someone light up from the inside. And me? I'm just... me. Watching her from the side of things. Hoping. I think she knows. I know she knows. She's not daft. But there's something holding her back. I don't know what. Maybe it's me. Maybe it's something in her life I don't see. But I'm not giving up.

Azalea is just a background character. An observer. A silent participant. But on her first last day, she decides to change that. What she wasn't expecting was to find herself in the middle of a complex love story and feelings far deeper than she knew how to deal with. She wants the easy way out. The nice boy with the sweet smile. But her eyes always land on Zach Collins. Her best friend's brother. A boy who won't even spare her a glance.

[Now free to read!] Scott Wilson isn't used to being corrected, and he definitely didn't expect to get his biggest dose of criticism by his coach's daughter - Elle Monroe. ***** When Scott Wilson is drafted to try out for the Marlies hockey team, it's easily the best day of his life. He's cocky and for good reason. He's spent his entire life being told that he's a hockey prodigy and he knows that he's on the path to his destiny. Then Elle Monroe shows up, and throws off his entire plan. Elle - the daughter of his coach - is loud, rude, confident, and gets a special kick out of knocking Scott down a peg or two. Scott doesn't want to accept the help she's offering, but eventually he does, and it turns into a lot more than he was expecting. Scott isn't used to a lot of things, but there's one especially that he's never prepared for: a beautiful, loud girl stealing his jersey every day before their practices.

Adalina's life is a relentless cycle of pain. Since the age of 4, she endures the daily horrors of an abusive household. Her stepfather's cruel words slice deeper than any knife, while her stepbrother's twisted games leave her feeling trapped and helpless. Her mother, once a source of love, has become an accomplice to the torment, prioritizing her own comfort over Adalina's safety. In this suffocating darkness, she feels invisible, unlovable, and utterly alone. Yet beneath her fractured exterior lies an unexpected resilience. Adalina has cultivated her own strength in the shadows, honing knife and gun skills in secret, driven by a desperate need to survive. She battles not only her abusers but also the suffocating weight of despair that threatens to consume her. With each passing day, hope feels more like a distant memory. Everything shifts when her estranged mafia brothers finally learn the truth about her plight. For years, they've searched for her, unaware of the horrors she faced. Their arrival is both a blessing and a curse, awakening emotions Adalina has long buried. Among them is Ezra, her brother's best friend, whose presence ignites a flicker of warmth in her cold, desolate world. But as much as she yearns for connection, the scars of her past make her wary of love. As her brothers plot to rescue her, Adalina finds herself torn between the safety of their world and the haunting familiarity of her pain. She must confront her demons and face the reality of her situation. Will she find the strength to embrace the love and loyalty of her family, or will her past keep her shackled in despair? In this heart-wrenching tale, Adalina's journey is one of survival, self-discovery, and the search for a love that feels almost impossible. Can she break free from the shadows that have defined her life, or will she remain trapped in a cycle of hopelessness?

C O M P L E T E D : 24/02/22 Sienna Callum was popular - scratch that - she was the queen of high school. She had tons of gorgeous friends wishing to be her, smoking hot flings, and an unbelievably trendy fashion sense. But, she needed one more thing. Decent grades to graduate. Roman Lawrence was a nerd - scratch that - THE nerd of high school. Yet, his exceptional intelligence made him stand out among those seeking to learn. He had one problem though, the girl he'd been crushing on since kindergarten didn't like him back. One of the reasons? His lack of experience.... sexually. This isn't boy meets girl. This is mouse meets vixen. This is what happens when these two opposites strike a deal and things get hot. "So, here's my offer: you tutor me in school, and I tutor you in sex." _____ W A R N I N G T H I S S T O R Y C O N T A I N S : ❤︎ sexual/mature content ❤︎ explicit language ❤︎ alcohol consumption ❤︎ mild violence _____ H I G H E S T R A N K I N G S : 1 #virginboy 1 #goodboybadgirl 1 #nerdboy 1 #scandalous 1 #populargirl 1 #tutor 1 #badgirlgoodboy 2 #forbidden 2 #eroticromance 3 #sexy _____ S T A R T E D - 05/03/2021 C O M P L E T E D - 24/02/2022 (word count: 200,000 - 250,000)
