𝐑𝐔𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐃 The Wreckage Duet #2 💔 Isla Reyes has loved her best friend's older brother for almost six years. Jax Miller has spent years pretending he doesn't love her back. 🔥 They keep happening. One night turns into two. Two turns into more. Every time, she tells herself it's the last time. Every time, he swears it meant nothing. They're both liars. 🥀 She's always been there for him. When his sister left. When a near-fatal accident left him shattered. She sat by his hospital bed for weeks. Hopeful. Waiting. Then he healed. And just like always, he shut her out. 😤 She's done being his secret. His sometimes. His almost. She's moving on. 🖤 But watching her with someone else is making Jax realize that the woman he's spent years pushing away might be the only one who ever saw the real him. And some things, once ruined, can't be fixed. ♡ ♡ ⚠️ Trigger Warning ⚠️ ⚠️ 18+ content | Legal age of consent always observed | Reader discretion advised 🤍 This story contains mature and sensitive content.

🌊 Gabby Ashford doesn't belong in the Bay. She's from the Crest. Big house, absent parents, money that can't buy the one thing she actually wants. But years ago she found Theo Lawson, and with him came a crumbling house three blocks from the beach, a kitchen that always smells like coffee, and a brother who looks at her like she's trouble. She is. 🏄 Noah Lawson has enough on his plate. Raising his brother. Running a surf school on dreams and duct tape. Keeping their heads above water while their dad rots in prison. He doesn't have room for distractions. Especially not one with long legs, green eyes, and a smile that makes him forget his own rules. 🔥 She's his brother's best friend. Off. Fucking. Limits. She's also the only person who makes him want to burn everything down just to keep her warm. He calls her Stardust. She's been catching fire every time he says it. 💋 This is a slow burn until it isn't. And when it ignites, it doesn't ask permission. 🌴 Salt-soaked, sun-faded, and set in a small California surf town where secrets don't stay buried and tension doesn't stay in the bedroom. Best friend's older brother. Rich girl, poor boy. Age gap. And the kind of longing that ruins you in the best way. ⚠️ Content warnings: parental neglect, parental loss, DUI, underage drinking, explicit language, explicit sexual content, and mature themes.

🔥❤️🔥 Archer Cruz Cocky. Reckless. Fucks like he surfs - hard and without apology. Different girl every week. Humour to deflect. Charm to hide. He's called her Baby Brooks since she was ten. She was always one of the boys. Until she wasn't. Remi Brooks. Sharp mouth. Zero fear of him. She's the only one who sees past the bullshit. The only one who's ever calmed what he won't name. She pushed. He pushed back. She didn't flinch. Too young. Too close. Too much. She turned eighteen. And the fighting stopped being about winning. Some lines aren't meant to be crossed. Some are meant to be destroyed. The undertow doesn't ask permission. It takes. 🔥 Enemies to lovers 💔 She fell first.

💔 Where It Hurts to Stay (Wren Callahan & Leo Montgomery - Book Four in The Hurt Series) She met him before she knew who he was. Then she sat down in his classroom. And everything changed. Wren Callahan doesn't believe in happy endings. Not after her mom spiraled-again. Not after she left L.A. for Denver to live with her brother Dean, trying to finish her senior year without falling apart. She's sharp-tongued, political, impossible to cage- a girl made of wildfire learning how to survive her own sparks. Then there's Leo Montgomery- twenty-one, brilliant, too passionate for his own good. Final year of his teaching degree, already standing at the front of a classroom on placement. Still more heartbreak in denim than authority in a tie. Too young to be cynical. Too idealistic to see the danger coming. When they meet at a university debate event, he's just the stranger who challenges her beliefs, matches her bite for bite, and makes her pulse forget how to behave. She doesn't know he's on a teaching placement. He doesn't know she's still in high school. Their spark is instant. Their chemistry-disaster dressed up as destiny. And when Wren walks into her new classroom and finds him standing there-sleeves rolled, eyes locked on hers- every rule that's supposed to save them starts to burn. He's her student teacher. She's the revolution he never saw coming. A forbidden, slow-burn romance about crossing lines, defying expectations, and falling for the one person you were never meant to love. 🔥 18+ Mature Content Warning 🔥 Contains explicit scenes, underage drinking, and a forbidden dynamic between consenting adults.

Too reckless. Too good at getting under his skin. One night. One kiss. It should've meant nothing. But she tastes like a second chance- and Dean hasn't believed in those for a long, long time. He's the mistake she can't stop making. She's the fire he should've stayed away from. And this time?
