Under the Storm
Rain Foxx has spent most of her life fighting against the world, and herself. Diagnosed with bipolar disorder at a young age, she's used to people seeing her as "trouble." With a sharp tongue, a bruised heart, and a past full of secrets, Rain keeps everyone at arm's length - until she meets Ryder Stone. Ryder is the kind of guy who never plays by the rules. With a reputation for trouble, a history of bad decisions, and a temper to match, he's the last person anyone expects to open up. He doesn't believe in anything - not love, not redemption, and certainly not the emotional baggage of someone like Rain. But when their worlds collide, something shifts. Rain is unlike anyone he's ever met - raw, real, and unapologetic about her brokenness. For the first time in a long time, Ryder can't look away. He doesn't want to care, but he does. He doesn't want to get involved, but somehow, he can't stay away. As their relationship intensifies, the lines between love and chaos blur. Ryder's demons are darker than Rain could ever imagine, and her mental health is an unpredictable storm. Together, they are a whirlwind of passion, pain, and self-destruction. But as they lean on each other, they both realize that sometimes, you have to face your worst fears to find the person who will make you feel whole. Will their love be the storm that breaks them, or the force that helps them rebuild? In the battle between sanity and madness, can they find peace in each other's arms, or will the world tear them apart before they can truly learn how to love?
Shattered & Yours
Violet Hayes never expected her senior year to start with loss. Losing her mother to cancer was heartbreaking, but being sent away to London by a father who couldn't bear to look at her? That was something else entirely. Thrown into the home of her father's best friend, she finds herself living with the Montgomery brothers-Theo, the easygoing and protective one, and Mason, the arrogant, brooding, gorgeous one who makes it painfully clear that he wants nothing to do with her. Mason Montgomery has everything-looks, money, power. But beneath the smirks and confidence, he's spent years battling demons he refuses to name. When Violet walks into his life, soft-spoken yet undeniably strong, she's just another rich American girl-or so he thinks. He's determined to push her away, but she sees right through him. And the more he tries to fight it, the more he finds himself breaking all his own rules. What starts as heated arguments and endless teasing quickly turns into something neither of them can ignore. But just as Violet begins to feel like she belongs somewhere, Mason's world unravels-his mother's dark past comes back to haunt him, his rage spirals out of control, and the walls he built so high start to crumble. When a dangerous encounter at a party pushes them to their true breaking point, Mason is forced to face what he's known all along-Violet isn't just another girl. She's the one person who sees him. And he'll do anything to keep her safe, even if it means fighting against everything he's ever believed. Love was never supposed to be in the equation. But sometimes, the people who are the most broken are the ones worth fighting for the most.Complete

"But you could have gotten hurt," I murmur softly, hanging my head and feeling my shoulders drop, the tension seeping from my body. "No. Stop," She cuts me off sternly but tenderly, "Don't talk like that, Reece. I'm okay, you're okay, we're okay," She speaks softly, reaching her hand up to gently brush her thumb over my cheek, just under the cut that's there. "We're okay," I repeat, taking a small step closer to her. She nods with a small smile, moving her hand down from my cheek and instead placing the palm of her hand on my chest, right over my heart. I know she can feel how fast my heart is beating. I just don't know why it's doing that. ~ Reece Carter is the bad boy of Northwood High. He smokes and he fights.
