Cry Me A River by StormeKeller

Valentine was an orphan with no memories of her family, all she had left was an old necklace-and the scars from years in an abusive relationship. When she finally escapes, she seeks protection from her old friend Kenji, a man she once secretly loved, despite knowing he could never love her back. But safety is fleeting. Kenji's domineering boyfriend exudes danger and dominance, in turn to always make Valentine feel on edge around him and the tension between the three of them crackles with dark, forbidden desires. Valentine discovers her bloodline is anything but innocent-she's the daughter of a fallen drug lord who before death claimed him left a promise of her hand in marriage to the powerful and brutal Caine family. Worse still, Tyler, her ex-boyfriend, knew it all along. His love was a lie, his only goal to secure a child and seal their family's legacy.

Faith by hailythewriter

Working for a rich family like the Thompson's, knowing that she was just like them once was hard for Amelia. The fact that she now had nothing left after losing her money, her friends, her boyfriend, her parents and her life caused Amelia to have no other choice but to accept her fate as a maid. She made the best of it, she made friends who always managed to put a smile on her face if only for a minute. It all changed for Amelia when a figure of her past slides it's way back into her life so suddenly that she didn't even know real from fake. It was too much for her and it was blamed all on faith. Faith she had to choose from. Ignore it, run and hide again or face it and fix the past. Suddenly the future wasn't so simple and predictable as Amelia thought it was, she couldn't even see into tomorrow. Would she run again or would she take the bull by it's horns and think of it as a second chance of happiness? She couldn't even see happiness in her future, how would she survive?

Fates Intertwined | Ben Descendants Fanfiction by OfficialCucpake101

The son of the King and Queen of Auradon. The daughter of the Mistress of Evil. Ben and y/n are poles apart, but could the old saying 'opposites attract' be true? Y/n has always been tough and cold, intimidating everyone she met. She was practically the ruler of the Isle of the Lost, and even her twin sister, Mal, hardly messed with her. But behind her rough exterior, she hid the loneliness that ate away at her heart. Her mother hated her, her father abandoned her, and unlike Mal, she never had real friends of her own. However, when she goes to Auradon and meets kind-hearted Prince Ben with dreams too big to imagine, she finds things slowly starting to change. As worlds collide and fates intertwine, perhaps Ben can break through her facade and unearth the funny, charismatic, and caring person that she had hidden away for many long years. And perhaps y/n can show him what true love feels like, and give him a kind of happiness he never knew existed. This story is happy, sad, bittersweet, and heartwrenching. There are ups, downs, twists, and turns. But along the journey, extraordinary things occur, and in the end, a fairytale happily-ever-after is guaranteed.

Lunar Legacy: Blood of the Moon by Fatedbysoulties

Years have passed since the fall of Saint and the scattering of the Lunar Eclipse cult. Peace returned, but the scars remain. Now, the next generation must face a darkness that was never truly vanquished-only sleeping. Sevyn Lawson, the firstborn of Alpha Maxwell and Luna Kimberly, is a powerful, headstrong werewolf heir with ice in her veins and a legacy too heavy for her shoulders. She's trained to lead, to protect, and to never show weakness. The people see her as the reincarnation of her grandfather, Maxwell Sr.-cold, strategic, and ruthless when necessary. But inside, she carries the weight of visions-just like her mother once did. Stormé Lawson, younger by one year, is fire-born and emotionally intuitive. More like Kimberly in her youth, Stormé is bold, curious, and has an unshakable bond with the world around her-especially the forest spirits. She's been blessed by the Moon Goddess with the gift of emotional tethering: the ability to connect to others through emotion and manipulate it. But with that gift comes a haunting curse she's yet to uncover. When a Lunar Eclipse survivor kidnaps a child from a neighboring pack, Sevyn is sent to negotiate, while Stormé disobeys orders and sneaks into the borderlands for answers. What they uncover is a dark prophecy: the daughters of fire and ice will either break the world-or bind it in eternal war. As shadow wolves rise again under a new name-The Crimson Howl-the Lawson sisters must face betrayals, the truth of their bloodline, and choose between each other... or the future of their kind. And somewhere, in the ruins of the old Lunar Eclipse stronghold, an ancient power stirs-a being not even Saint could control.

Exile: The Book of Ever by JamesCormier

Centuries after the Fall, the United States has been wiped away. The crumbling remains of the great American empire are home now only to savage, lawless tribes and packs of ravening Damned-the twisted children of the apocalypse. Most of those few who survived humanity's destruction spend their short lives in a violent struggle for survival. But some light still flickers in the darkness: the Blessed of Bountiful live in seclusion, relying on walls both physical and spiritual to protect them from the Desolation that their world has become. Among them are the Saints, those few men and women born with superhuman abilities that the Blessed see as gifts from God. The violent apostate tribes of the Northeast Kingdom have always been a danger, but up until recently its small size and the vigilance of its people have made Bountiful an unappealing target. As attacks on the community grow harsher and more frequent, however, even the steadfast Blessed are forced to start preparing for the worst. With her home's very existence threatened, seventeen year old Ever Oaks, a Saint with the power to heal, is forced to make a difficult choice, one that may come to define her people's future... Exile was a semi-finalist in Mark Lawrence's Great Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off (#SPFBO). Fantasy Faction said it was "extremely cool," and Bookish Lifestyle called it "more than just a story, a journey and an experience." When I'm asked about it, I often describe it as "X-Men meets The Walking Dead." In addition to reading it here for free, you can buy Exile in e-book or paperback on Amazon.com.

If you're given a chance to live once more, will you take it? Even if... it comes at a cost? A dying woman reminisces on her short life and comes to regret not doing the things she likes - always sacrificing her own happiness for her family. On her deathbed, she whispers her wishes to a friend. "If only I could go back in time, I'll make sure to live my life for my sake and not somebody else's." Little did she know that her impossible wish would come true with the help of a mysterious woman. And in her second chance at life, she meets a certain problematic person... "Kaiden Ma" - a young and handsome genius who is also the richest heir in the East - has a little problem. One - he is way too grumpy; and two - he is mysophobic. With his family pushing him in a relationship, the problem escalated. For how can he possibly be in a relationship if he can't even touch anyone? Due to this, he is forced to look for a suitable "pretend" partner. "Senara Lee. I'd like to offer you a deal." "Hm? A deal? What deal?" "I need a fake girlfriend and you're the only one who's trustworthy enough to assume the position. Be my girlfriend for a year and I'll make one of your books into a movie." "For real?! You bet I'm in! Anything for my babies!" (babies - she's referring to her books, yes, she calls them her babies). And so, their hilarious and catastrophic game begins. Well, at least until the "Guardians of Fate" comes in. What will they do with this romance that wasn't supposed to be? And what is the cost of this new life she was given? 🌸 𝘼 𝘽𝙚𝙖𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙛𝙪𝙡 𝘾𝙖𝙩𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙥𝙝𝙚 𝙎𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨 🌸 ✅ A Beautiful Catastrophe - Book 1 🟨 A Beautiful Catastrophe - Book 2 🟥 A Beautiful Catastrophe - Book 3 - 4
