• Friends to enemies to lovers • Dark themes and gothic vibes • Situations some readers might find offensive • Spicy romance with dark elements *** Never did I expect to find Trouble in New York (oh, the irony of it). But BANG and Trouble aka Connor Black, otherwise known as my childhood best friend, who I had a huge crush on once upon a time, is back in my life. Everyone says he's dark, dangerous, and a total bully. Which sounds nothing like the kid that loved watching me dance ballet in my ridiculously pink tutu dress. We left each other with broken hearts and unfulfilled promises, and now he's back in my life, threatening to destroy me. Hahaha... You know what's funnier than him claiming he wants to ruin me? Me knowing he can, and still loving EVERY second of it. He doesn't give me answers, promises, or hope...he doesn't give me anything, but when he looks at me with those green eyes of his, I know I can really make him fall in love with me. The question is, can I destroy his walls before he destroys me? 🏆Latest Achievements #1 in LoveHate #1 in BadBoyGoodGirl #1 in BFFLove #1 in BadBoyInLove #1 in CollegeRomance

A guarded college quarterback's dark past resurfaces when classmate Elena Madison pierces his cold exterior, sparking a dangerous connection that could either redeem or destroy them both. *** Everyone at Ohio State University knows about Blake Andrews, the infamous all-star quarterback of the football team and rumored insomniac. Most refer to him as crude, egotistical, and cold. It isn't until he meets Elena Madison that his world is suddenly flipped upside down. She brings the dark past he has tried to keep hidden for years up to the surface, risking pulling them both under for good. Undeniable attraction radiates between the two clashing souls and he begins to wonder if she can save him from the darkness within him. He's never met someone with such an irritating personality; with her persistent desire to know more about him despite his exhausted efforts to push her away. She is about to uncover what's hidden under his rough and cold exterior-whether she's ready for it or not. After all, eyes are the window to the soul. *** "Thank you," he murmurs sleepily, raising his hand to bring it to my cheek. His thumb slides against my soft skin slowly, it burns hot at his touch. "For what?" I question, my eyes feeling very swollen and heavy now. He takes a deep breath and swallows. "For being my light." *** *MATURE* HIGHEST RANKINGS #1 in enemiestolovers #1 in collegeromance #1 in panicattacks #1 in badboy #1 in brooding #1 in enemiestofriends #1 in trauma #1 in grumpyxsunshine

Caden Miller. Hot, cynical, and notoriously labelled the bad boy of Crestmont High. Attention-seekers flirt with him. Idiots fight with him. The ones who know what's good for them, stay away from him. If you fight him, you know you'll lose soon. Short-tempered, mysterious, and those oh-so-hot looks. All of that was enough for a person to fall head over heels for him. If only he cared to give a shit about them. Not when he was also the youngest gang leader in New York City, with just one mission in mind: stop his equally cynical brother from ruining his life more than he already had. Skylar Anderson. Not a nerd. Or a cheerleader. All she cares about is her workaholic (and maybe even a little dysfunctional) parents, her adorable cat and her not-so adorable best friend, and her sleep. Quite literally. Living a normal and carefree life, trying her best not to flunk Physics, there wasn't anything more that she wanted. Until she receives a letter in her mailbox... ...and that normal, carefree life goes right above the clouds. . . .

As each day slips by without rescue, all that is left is this fierce, dark entity stirring between them-something far more threatening to her virtue than even Father Aaron's obsessive game. Something so powerful, it may just make her want to stay for keeps. A dark psychological romance that's full of twists and turns you won't see coming!
