Cursed to be the target of bullies since pre-school, there isn't an inch of her that doesn't carry the weight of venomous words and vicious scars. After losing her parents, she was left in the neglectful care of relatives who only made things worse. Every day is something to survive. So she escapes the only way she knows how- Between the pages of books. Through the stories she scribbles late into the night, long after her wrists begin to ache. It's the only place she's ever felt safe. The only place she's ever been free. But even stories can't save her forever. Until him. 𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐬 𝐄𝐝𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐊𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 has always been the disappointment. The youngest son. The final chess piece. The one who never fit. In a family built on strength and expectation, he chose something softer- charcoal smudges on his fingers, paint-stained sleeves, and music humming through tangled headphones. Art was his escape. Until she became his. The quiet girl with a notebook clutched to her chest and a smile that doesn't quite reach her eyes. The more he looks, the more he sees it- The darkness. The fading hope. The silent plea no one else notices. So he does the only thing he can. He finds a way in. Anonymous words passed between pages. A connection built in secrets. A chance for her to feel seen-without ever having to be. Because Thomas knows the risk. Knows exactly what it will cost him. But if there's one thing he's certain of, it's this- He would take a million punches... if it meant saving her from disappearing completely.

Ever since her seventh birthday, all the light in her world was drained and washed away. The only evidence of that night is buried deep within her mind-locked away where no one can find it. Venomous words are her defence. Hating herself is routine. Because no one knows what she is. Ruined. Impure. Dirty. A walking crime scene. Perfectly broken and beautifully scarred. Until him. 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐆𝐚𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐥 𝐊𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 has been numb to the world for as long as he can remember. The second born. Second best. The spare. His father's greatest nothing. So he learnt how to feel in all the wrong ways. With a body carved out in bruises and a mind swallowed by addiction, Cole knows exactly what he is- A lost cause. A monster. A boy with nothing left to love. Except her. Once upon a time, he was her muse. The only person in the world who seemed to understand. Now, he's the one she hates most. Because letting him in again would mean facing everything she's tried to bury. And Cole would rather let her hate him-let her despise him with everything she has left-than watch her drown in the same darkness that destroyed him. But fate doesn't care about distance. Or hatred. Or the walls they've built. It keeps dragging them back together- into stolen moments, buried memories, and a connection that refuses to die. Because some people don't just leave marks on your heart. They carve themselves into your soul.

The son of a murderer, a boy with a past too dark to rewrite. So they polished him. Refined him. Remade him into something palatable. Now, he's the perfect politician's heir-sharp suits, sharper mind, and a life built on careful control. But perfection is a performance. And Josef is so, so tired of pretending. Behind the golden glasses and quiet intelligence is a boy who used to believe in something more. Something brighter. Something like her. 𝐀𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞 𝐋𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐊𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 is everything the world expects her to be. Elegant. Untouchable. Perfect. But perfection comes at a price. Behind closed doors, she is shaped and sharpened into something smaller, something quieter-something that fits. Every whispered comment, every lingering look, every cruel expectation chips away at the girl she used to be. Until she can't tell where she ends... and who she was supposed to become begins. They were childhood best friends once-before power, fear, and bloodlines tore them apart. Now, he belongs to her brother's world. And she belongs to a cage with no doors. They are forbidden in every sense of the word. In a world where power is everything and freedom comes at a cost, loving each other might be the one thing that finally breaks them. Or the only thing that sets them free.

"𝙎𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙨𝙪𝙣𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙚. 𝙃𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙢. 𝙏𝙤𝙜𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧, 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙜𝙚𝙙." 𝐃𝐚𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐞 𝐀𝐥𝐦𝐞𝐢𝐝𝐚 has spent her whole life learning how to shine-because if she stops, everything she's been running from might finally catch up. From foster home to foster home, she became the girl everyone loved: bright smiles, warm laughter, a light that never flickers. Now a scholarship boarder at Elite High, she's determined to keep her past buried where it belongs. 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐤 "𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐝𝐲" 𝐇𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐬 has spent his whole life holding everything together-because if he doesn't, no one else will. The son of a mother who can't stay clean and a father who never stayed at all, Freddy learned early how to survive in the cracks. He covers. He fixes. He pretends. Even when it's tearing him apart, he plays the part just well enough to get by. But pressure builds, and secrets don't stay buried forever. Everyone at Elite High sees it-the way they gravitate toward each other, the way their worlds begin and end in the same place. Everyone except them. But when the past they've both tried to outrun comes crashing down on them, Daisie and Freddy are forced to face the truth they've been too afraid to name- That love isn't always a choice. Sometimes, it's something you survive. And sometimes... it's something that could destroy you. - 𝐓𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐬: childhood best friends × oblivious love · sunshine × storm · mutual pining · slow burn · foster care trauma · "you're my home" · found family · protective love · emotional scars · right person, wrong timing · love on the edge of breaking

"𝙃𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙜𝙤𝙡𝙙𝙚𝙣. 𝙎𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙧𝙪𝙞𝙣. 𝙏𝙤𝙜𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧, 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙗𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙚𝙙." 𝐋𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐉𝐚𝐧𝐞 𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐛𝐲 has always been invisible-the quiet girl who learned to survive by staying small. She knows how to keep her head down, how to hide the bruises, how to pretend everything is fine. But when she's forced to start over at Elite High-her father's perfect school for perfect people-her world collides with his. 𝐍𝐨𝐚𝐡 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐊𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 is the golden boy. The mayor's son. The flawless heir to a spotless legacy. Everyone loves him. Everyone needs something from him. Until he meets the girl with sad eyes and trembling hands-the one person who looks at him and sees straight through the shine. She's all soft edges and quiet defiance. He's all sharp smiles and restless guilt. And when their worlds intertwine, something beautiful-and dangerous-begins to bloom. Because love doesn't always heal. Some hearts are just built to break. - 𝐓𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐬: golden boy × broken girl · high school angst · slow burn · trauma healing · "who did this to you?" · found comfort · small-town secrets · protective love · pain-turned-tenderness · emotional intimacy - #1 in firstlove 22/04 #1 in hurtcomfort 22/04 #1 in brokengirl 22/04 #1 in lonelygirl 22/04 #1 in protectiveboy 22/04
