( 𝑲𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒆 𝑾𝒊𝒍𝒎𝒐𝒕 𝒙 𝑴𝒂𝒍𝒆 𝑶𝑪 ) "Nice." I drawled. "Maybe you do have taste." She narrowed her eyes at me and feigned a scoff. Or maybe it was real. I wasn't entirely sure. "Maybe?" she questioned. And I just grinned at her even wider, the widest I've ever grinned in what felt like years. "Still tentative." 𝐎𝐑: Nathan Maxwell had always been the second choice. Even worse, the last option. He had never been a priority. Not when it came to his mother, to his older sister, to his little brother, to his friends back in London, nor to the first girl he loved and especially not to the boy who had wished he was someone else. With a carefully crafted front, a purposefully stoic face and an air of a careless kind of self-assurity, Nathan had always loved too much and paid the price for it everytime. But when his school partners up with Tommen College for a student exchange program, he chooses the path of a temporary fresh start. And when that refresh involves a redhead who understood his need to be known and loved to an almost terrifying degree, what would happen when that ticking clock inched closer to the end of Nathan's stay in Cork right when he's just found a reason to stay?

TADHG LYNCH x FEM!OC IN WHICH Tadhg Lynch, a damaged child that developed habits similar to his older brother, makes the wrong impression on the sunshine girl with attitude problems on their first day. or IN WHICH Bridget Biggs, a perfect mix of her sister and her brother, finds herself falling for the boy she swore she hated.

𝗖𝗲𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲 '𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗿𝘆' 𝗛𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱, the Vixen of Ballylaggin, is everything a man wants. Seductive, charming, sly, witty. Her antics are enough to somewhat separate her from the reputation of her big (half) brother, Shane Holland. If she acts wild and untamed, no one will notice how trapped she is under Shane's thumb. And her strategy worked, until 𝗧𝗮𝗱𝗵𝗴 𝗟𝘆𝗻𝗰𝗵 walked into her life. 𝗧𝗮𝗱𝗵𝗴 𝗟𝘆𝗻𝗰𝗵 knows that people with the Holland name are bad news. Shane shoved his older brother into a pit of substance abuse he was lucky to have gotten out of, and that was enough to keep him steering clear of 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝗛𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 for years. When he meets her face-to-face at a pound shop, of all places, he comes to find out she isn't all that bad. As time passes, they meet again and again in the most common places. Every conversation they have becomes longer, more intimate, but they refuse to let each other in, stubbornly trying to keep their relationship at an 'acquaintance' level. 𝗧𝗮𝗱𝗵𝗴 is stuck in the darkness of his past, and 𝗖𝗲𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲 is stuck in the hell that is her present. Will they tell each other their secrets, or will they end up being strangers?

Lacey Love Keane is a hurricane in heels. At 17, she's got a reputation for being the girl who doesn't need anyone but everyone seems to need her. A fiery mix of wild confidence, untamed charm, and a heart that refuses to be caged, Lacey moves to Ballylaggin to live with her Aunt Orla. Far from her life in London, Lacey doesn't plan on sticking around long but a series of complicated relationships might just change that. When she reunites with Patrick Feely, the boy who used to be her summer sidekick, sparks fly. But it's Joey Lynch, the bad boy with a heart of stone, who's the real problem. They're two sides of the same coin: both emotionally unavailable, both fiercely independent. And neither one knows how to stay away from the other. Then there's Johnny Kavanagh, the one guy who makes her feel things she's spent years trying to avoid. He's everything Lacey doesn't want to want, and he knows exactly how to push her buttons. But what happens when the lines between hate, attraction, and something deeper start to blur? Ballylaggin won't be the same once Lacey Love Keane sets her sights on it. She's a storm waiting to happen and it's going to tear everything apart.
