"A part of me has always wanted to be punished, to experience pain at its highest degree, and to be ripped apart in every way possible for surviving the crash. But I was stupid for not knowing the extent of that wish; for not knowing that pain isn't always sharp and fleeting, bloody and easily relived. 

Except, It's well-orchestrated and cunning, unexpected and permanently disabling. It's mental and emotional turmoil,  Love in its darkest, ugliest of forms.... and for someone who you never thought capable of inflicting it, it is the sweetest form of revenge. 

They say love makes you do crazy things, but trauma--trauma is one hell of a bitch."

--A.J.  

***********

Brown Sugar X Euphoria. 

Twenty-one-year-old Alaina Joseph is undeniably lost after surviving a fatal car crash that leaves her fatherless. With two of the most important men in her life fighting for her attention, her survivors' guilt eating away at her, and the surmounting pressure of being a college junior...what will happen once she finds out her past is very much present, and out to get her?

Durga - A Spirit Unbroken by Mayaprapancham

At eighteen, she was betrayed by the very people who should have protected her sold into a house where women are stripped of their will and forced to serve under the cruel mask of survival. What followed was years of torment, beatings, humiliation, and the slow erasure of her voice. She did not live; she endured. But endurance can only last so long. Behind every forced smile, every silenced scream, she nurtures a single truth: she will not die within those walls. Her escape is not a dream it is a promise she makes to herself every night. Yet freedom is never simple. When her path collides with a man whose past is as fractured as her own, a new struggle begins. He is pulled toward her shadow without understanding why, but she scarred by betrayal and bound by fear cannot bring herself to believe in the tenderness she has longed for all her life. Caught between her past that still claws at her, a present that cages her, and an uncertain future that tempts her. She faces questions that cut deeper than chains: Will she find a way to break free? Will she allow herself to trust what her heart has always craved? Or will the house of shadows tighten its grip, binding her forever? Some stories aren't about survival alone. They're about what a soul dares to dream, even in the darkest prison. This is my first story. I request every reader to just spend their little time to open my book and read Please support me guys.........

Strength and Sensuality [Completed] by HeraHarker

A modern Pride and Prejudice story. Only sexier. Mira is a refugee, starting a new life far from home. She has to deal with her troubled past, her son, and her enigmatic boss, while her only weapon is her killer sense of humor. It's a slow-building love-hate story, with a strong female lead; two control freak lawyers, fighting for dominance, in denial of their feelings; an alpha discovering his submissive side; lots of humor and humanism. ~73K words ~~~ Warnings: - Mild language. Characters talk like white-collar workers usually do in real life. - Chapter 43 has mild sexual content. It isn't very graphic, it's emotional, rather, but if you don't want to read about it, just skip it. It won't affect the story. ~~~ Featured: - WP Romance's Read Together and Head Over Heels reading list - WP ChickLit and Women's Fiction reading list - WP New Adult's Romance reading list - WP Adult Fiction reading list - WP Classic Authors Twisting Austen's Magical Moments reading list - WP Retold reading list ~~~ Reviews: "You have a lot of literary elements going for you: your style is chock full of subtext, humor, and intelligence. There's a careful craftsmanship in world-building, character development, and theme." Scripturam Awards "A truly unique story with a quite remarkable a plot! It has the ability to convey the emotions stirred within the characters to the depth of readers heart!" The Graphomania Awards "I am beyond impressed with this work. The characters feel real; three-dimensional. The narration does not feel forced in any way, it flows as it reads." The Dream Awards "Some books lead with suspense and cliffhangers that even if you don't want to continue the book you do so just to sate your curiosity. But then a rare gem like this comes along and without any cheap tricks it pulls in, you just continue and keep reading it and you may not even know when you reach the end." Shadow City Awards

BORDERLINE (18+) by plimble88

What happens when you fall in love while you're still breaking? 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝐄𝐝𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 is officially at rock bottom. Her moods are unpredictable, her impulses reckless and healing feels like a mountain too steep to climb. She's forced to leave her wild and carefree university student life behind. June struggles to come to terms with her diagnosis. Finding herself living with estranged mother in a quiet and unfamiliar seaside town, where the silence makes everything louder. 𝐎𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞 knows what it means to lose someone slowly, and then all at once. Grief sharpened him into something rough. His tattoos are his armour, humour and charm his defences. He learned the hard way that loving someone sick can destroy you. Together they are a wildfire. Intoxicating and comforting, finding refuge in each other. As their lives collide, the line between love and self destruction blurs. Healing and falling into old pattens are balancing a tight rope. Some wounds refuse to heal quietly.

We Dream at Midnight (Ember 2) by immoralLaurel

Here she is. I can see the slope of her spine through that thin shirt. She's made of angles I ache to smooth with a hand, but I'd use my lips if she asked. I brush her knuckles with mine. Her skin is cold, but she flips her palm for more contact. I lace our fingers. It's enough to make her look at me. As those kaleidoscopic eyes meet mine, I hold my breath. Then she sets her lips just under my jaw. It rips the air from my lungs. It's the softest thing I've ever felt. "What was that for," I breathe. She pulls back, lashes damp, and whispers, "You're the kind of person that should be kissed." 𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 BOOK TWO C O N T A I N S : ❤︎ mature content ❤︎ romance & friendship ❤︎ yearning Copyright © 2021-present Laurel Montaze (immoralLaurel).

Can they pick up the pieces and fix whom they break? Cover by @SylicateGrazie with Canva

A Soul Ensnared by jrobeson

Sonya Lancaster finally has the life she always dreamed of. A coveted role at one of Bloomington's most prestigious golf clubs. The kind of confidence that comes from knowing exactly who she is. And a man she loves with her whole heart-and who she believes loves her just as deeply. But there's one thing missing. One question that should have come by now. A question that would seal their love, solidify their future. A question she's imagined a hundred times, ... but he never asks. As silence takes the place of promises, Sonya begins to feel the first tremors of doubt. Then come the passcodes. The lingering glances at his phone. The playful, too-familiar texts that aren't hers. Suddenly, the love she's built her world around begins to feel like an illusion. And as everything she's known starts to shift, another presence quietly steps forward-a man who has seen her, cherished her, perhaps even loved her from the sidelines. As her heart breaks open, Sonya is faced with a choice: hold onto a love that's slipping away, or open herself to the possibility of something new-something truer, something lasting. Sometimes, love doesn't arrive on one knee. Sometimes, it's been standing beside you all along.

OBSESSION. too personal by _Jane_D_O_E

This could have been a gentle story for quiet autumn evenings. But it shattered against Morphine - a chapter that will not let you stay indifferent. And now, you'll understand why. This is not a story about perfect love. It's about healing through pain, about love that blooms after trauma, and about the fragile line between salvation and obsession. She is a woman rebuilding herself from the ashes. Not strong - simply real. A mother. A fighter. A writer whose words cut deeper than truth itself. She doesn't want to be someone's muse - she only wants to be understood. He is the man the world worships... and fears. A legend. A symbol of an era. But behind the fame, there's a man haunted by his own darkness. Together, they are fire and gasoline - two broken souls learning how to love without losing themselves. Their story isn't a fairytale. It's an age-gap dark romance about redemption, grief, and the courage to love again. With touch. With words. With silence between the lines.
