Best-friends-to-lovers Stories

Look, man, all Angel wants is to make it to at /least/ 18 in one piece. That means nine months of living moment by moment. But it's a little hard when the magic inside of you is a little like a tornado, constantly searching for cracks to escape through. Because Angel's magic is so entangled with their emotions, intense feelings tend to be the cracks it looks for. (Don't tell Mr. Jones where the scorch marks on his class room ceiling came from. They were having a bad day, okay? It was totally an accident!) Highschool is already hard, why did the universe think it would be a good idea to throw a hair trigger bomb into the mix? But it's alright! They have their best friend Monroe to help them through it. (Unless they were to find out about Angel's magic. But that's a nightmare not worth even thinking about.) Everything will turn out okay! It always does. ... Well. Almost always.

A criminal best friends to lovers book with plenty of past obsessions, kidnapping, and trauma! Enjoy.

Easton and Lia have always lived in two separate worlds. Easton, the star quarterback, comes from one of the wealthiest families in the state-he's rich, popular, and has the world at his feet. Lia, on the other hand, is a scholarship student, struggling with her own insecurities and feeling like an outsider in Easton's world. They've been best friends for as long as they can remember, finding comfort and understanding in each other's company. But what happens when the lines between friendship and something more blur? As their feelings for each other deepen, their connection grows more complicated. Easton's father, who has always had a clear vision for his son's future, will never approve of the relationship between them. He'll do everything in his power to keep them apart-using his wealth, influence, and power to make Easton's life a living hell if he chooses to be with Lia. But despite all the pressure, all the forces working against them, Easton and Lia's bond is undeniable. Their love is forbidden, but it's real. As they face the impossible choices ahead, they must decide whether to let the world tear them apart-or fight for the love that has always been there, even when they didn't realize it.
