She has secrets that when break out would tarnish his respect and question his authority while he has rivals who when succeed would shove her back into her terrifying past. When love becomes a double edged sword, with danger lurking right around the corner, can the ignited flames of curiosity break the shackles of their past and melt the ice walls surrounding their heart? Ride along the melancholically beautiful journey of two souls in their pursuit of a home!

Vivienne Monroe may live in a beautiful house now, but she knows what it's like to feel unwanted. Adopted at nine after surviving a childhood of neglect, she's learned to keep her past buried beneath perfect smiles and quiet grace. No one at her elite school knows where she really came from - and Vivienne plans to keep it that way. Joey Lynch never had the chance to hide his scars. With an abusive father and a mother too scared to leave, Joey carries the weight of his five siblings on his shoulders. His escape? Drugs, alcohol, and fleeting hookups - anything to feel something other than anger. When Vivienne and Joey's worlds collide, their connection is undeniable. She sees the pain behind his sharp edges, and he finds comfort in her soft presence. But Joey doesn't know the truth - that Vivienne isn't the rich girl he thinks she is. And Vivienne is terrified that if he finds out, he'll see her the way she's spent years trying to forget. Two broken hearts. One chance at love. But some secrets are too heavy to stay hidden forever. ----- joey lynch x fem!oc ©liawrit3ss

🪞❦༄ 𝐉𝐔𝐋𝐈𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐀 𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐄𝐓 is a firework with a shattered fuse. Pretty, flirty, magnetic. The girl in short skirts and cherry lips who laughs too loud and kisses too easily. But behind the glitter is a girl barely holding it together. Nobody knows what happens when she goes home. Nobody knows what she's survived since she was nine years old. And she's made damn sure of that. 𝐉𝐎𝐄𝐘 𝐋𝐘𝐍𝐂𝐇 doesn't ask questions. He's too busy trying to survive his own mess. Brutal, angry, and impossible to ignore, he's the only boy whose touch doesn't make Julianna want to crawl out of her skin. They're best friends. They fuck. They never talk about what it means. Because if they do, it might ruin everything. But the thing about real love? It doesn't stay buried. It shines light into the darkest corners- and forces you to face everything you've spent your whole life hiding. ❥ joey lynch x fem!oc contains mature themes & sexual content
