"SHE CORRUPTED HIM-" "-AND HE LET HER BECAUSE LOVING HER WAS THE ONLY TRUTH, HE'D EVER WANTED." CIARA LYNCH was born angry-raised by an alcoholic father, abandoned by a mother who left long before she was gone. From Wild Orchid Manor in Ballylaggin's upper northwest, she'd spent her life surviving in silence. To the town, she was the fierce sapphire-eyed girl who had it all. But behind the mask lay everything she fought to hide: the bipolar disorder she never asked for, the bruises she couldn't explain, and the family secrets that kept her trapped. By fifteen, her body carried scars no child should have. All she wanted was to stay invisible, to keep the truth buried where no one could find it. But secrets don't stay hidden forever. And when Ciara's disorder-and her parents' abuse-were dragged into the light, the world she built collapsed, forcing her to face the one thing she feared most: being truly seen. GERARD GIBSON was the joker of Tommen College-the loud, laughing boy everyone in Ballylaggin swore had the perfect life. And for years, he believed it too, especially with the girl he'd loved since childhood. What he never realised was that his entire world was built on lies. He didn't know Ciara was bipolar. He didn't know the bruises on her pale skin weren't accidents. He didn't know she was being hurt in her own home in the Cork countryside. Every excuse she gave, every story she told, he believed-because it never crossed his mind that she lied just to survive. At seventeen, Gerard had his own shadows-old tragedies and nightmares that still rattled his bones-but none of it prepared him for the truth about Ciara Lynch. He thought he knew her better than anyone. In reality, he knew nothing at all. Could love like theirs endure the mess of truth and trauma, or were they always meant to ruin one another?

Éireann O'Brien and Tadhg Lynch were best friends once. Now, starting first year at Tommen, they can barely exchange a glance without it turning into a fight. She's closed-off and fierce, with too much responsibility for someone her age. He's angry, unpredictable, and always one wrong word away from snapping. They're constantly at odds-but behind every glare and argument is a history neither of them can forget. Because some bonds don't break. They just change. And what happens when the person you can't stand... is the only one who really sees you? [tadhg lynch fanfic]

I used to believe in one rule. Save yourself. Don't trust. Don't depend. Don't need-because the second you do, it gets taken from you. I learned that young. I learned it the hard way. And I was good at it. I kept my head down. I said the right things. I didn't make problems I can't fix, and I didn't get attached to people who come with warnings written all over them. It was easier that way. Safer. Then Joey Lynch happens. And suddenly I'm not careful anymore. I'm running barefoot through streets I shouldn't be in. I'm letting him see parts of me I've spent years hiding. I'm standing in front of him, heart in my throat, trying to figure out why he looks at me like I'm something worth saving-when he won't even save himself. He pushes me away like it's instinct. I follow him like it's mine. We don't talk about what this is. We don't put names on it. We don't even try to pretend it's normal. Because it's not. It's messy and reckless and too intense for something that was never supposed to matter this much. But the worst part? I don't want to stop. Even if it breaks me. Even if it destroys him. Even if, somewhere along the line, I forget how to be the girl who always survives.

Rory Kavanagh was fine until Maeve Gibson started dating his worst enemy. She's his best friend. She's not supposed to get under his skin like this. Now she's pulling away, and Rory can't stop watching, can't stop wanting. Something's off. Something's wrong. And he's running out of time to stop it.

Cover by: @_Jenxkiss When Kian Holland finds himself working for Joey Lynch of all people, Mallory Lynch finds herself falling for the boy she was always warned about.

Conor Kavanagh. The heartthrob of Tommen College. The biggest playboy in the school - cocky smirk, rugby jersey practically sewn onto him, always with a smart comment and that maddening wink. He's friendly, charming, flirty as hell. The kind of lad who'd carry your bag for you and somehow make it seem like your idea. But don't let that fool you - he's trouble. All sharp jawlines and swagger. And somehow, he's decided I'm his next bloody charity case. I hate it. I hate how he shows up when I don't ask, how he looks at me like I'm breakable. I don't need saving - I've got it sorted. The drink, the pills, the temper - all of it. My mess, not his. And every time I tell him to back off, to leave me be, he just gets closer, like I'm speaking in code. I don't need his pity or his perfect face. I don't need him. So why does part of me keep hoping he'll show up again tomorrow? *** Sinead Biggs. The reigning queen of Tommen. Sharp-tongued, sharp-eyed, and terrifying in heels. Everyone thinks she's just Cath's little sister - until she opens her gob and makes half the school cry before lunch. She walks those halls like she owns them, and honestly? She kind of does. The lads are scared of her. The girls want to be her. And me? I'm hopelessly, pathetically into her. Everyone knows it. My mates won't shut up about it. Even when she's tearing strips off me with that mouth of hers, I'm there grinning like a gobshite. Because deep down, I remember. I remember when we used to be best friends. When she used to laugh like a lunatic at my stupid jokes, when her hand would brush mine and neither of us would move away. But then came Owen Rice - the prick. Then came that night. The accident. The hospital. And when she came back, she wasn't the same. She'd built up walls with barbed wire. She'd become someone colder, louder, crueler. But I still see her. The girl I knew. And every once in a while, when no one's looking, I think she sees me too.
