"Look, I know this is risky, but all i'm asking is that you trust me." 

"I do, every part of me trusts you."

•

Lucas Collins is what you may call a gambler. But not a typical gambler, like a poker player that'll spend all day pouring money down the drain. If you held a gun to his head and threatened to shoot, he'd probably let you. 

Yet if you held a gun to Maci Augustine's head, she would probably talk her way out of it and even find a way to convince you to turn the gun onto yourself. In her own way, much like Lucas, you could also call her a gambler. 

So together, is a duo that could be unbeatable. You can call them The Gamblers.

How He Fell by sxreya

C O M P L E T E D ☙❦❧ "Who would ever love Medusa?" "The blind," he whispered. ☙❦❧ She was a daughter worth nothing in a family worth everything. They didn't want her and she was hurt. Neglected.

One too scared and one too angered to just want to be any longer. But one day, they stumble upon each other. And Maddox Lohan knew he had to save Evelyn Moreau from the same fall he would not be able to escape. But was it fair? To show someone a life worth living when he himself did not want to live? ☙❦❧ 1/11/18 - 10/17/19 [ COMPLETED ] [ 4 pre-chapters + 35 chapters + epilogue ] #1 in young adult reads (8/12/19 - 9/20/19) #1 in boxer (8/23/19 - 9/19/29) #2 in teen romance (05/01/20-05/03/20) #29 in teen fiction (03/13/20-03/15/20) Cover by @xtruebeautyx Copyright ©

BROKEN HOPE (Lucas & Emilia Book 2) by ArianaClarkAuthor

I was so damn naive it's no wonder I've ended up here. Kidnapped by the man who promised me forever, just as I'd begun to understand the depths of his betrayal. It's a sad truth I didn't marry my husband for love. I married him for the life he promised to provide, and if I'm honest with myself, I married him in hopes one day he'd fill the void Lucas-my first love-left behind. Now after so many years, they're both back. And in my desperation to feel loved, to be wanted and chosen I've walked straight into this trap. All because I forgot life's harshest lesson... I'm not enough. No matter how much or how fiercely I love, the choice will never be me. Especially now. Surrounded by danger and at the mercy of my husband's enemies, I'm forced to face one final bit of truth. Much like love, hope is for the weak. I was a fool to believe in the vows and promises they made. In the Broken Redemption Series, one man's vow to protect the woman he lost becomes a battle between redemption, forgiveness, and the kind of love that refuses to let go. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is Book 2 of Lucas & Emilia's Broken Redemption arc. For the complete experience, start with Book 1: Broken Vows.

the art of letting go by AlaskaJohnson99

Kezziah doesn't trust anybody. Refuses to let anybody in other than those who have never faltered, because she can't afford to get abandoned again. Through all the years of recovering, of trying to fill that empty void that the lack of a family left, she can't hide it anymore. She's scared. - Four years after her brother's band takes off, and she moved to LA with her adoptive family, Kezziah returns back to New York City with one goal in mind. Keep her head down, get her degree, and go home. She never expects to run back into him. She never expects to find a home in Nico García- with all his cynical remarks and teasing smirks. He's everything that she despises. She should hate him. But she knows he's scared too. Sometimes, you have to let go of what is hurting you. Sometimes, you have to let go of what is scaring you. Sometimes, you have to find the strength to live.

He asks, and I nod, screwing my eyes closed, his words making the knot in my belly tighten further. "Then you're going to wait." "What-" I'm opening my eyes, seeing his hand reach for his belt. In a blink of an eye, he's ripping it out of the hoops, and he's grabbing my wrists, restraining them. "This okay?" He checks, his guard lowering, and I nod, biting on my lower lip. "Use your words, baby." "Yeah, it's okay." I say breathlessly.

The Outlaw by somewherewithwords

You can't call them friends with benefits because they're not friends. Not enemies, either. Maybe almost strangers. To others it seems illogical but for them, it works. Madeline Wolfe led a solitary life. She had no desire to get caught up in the notion of a relationship. She buried her problems deep inside with no plans to unravel. Little did she know the arrangement she struck with precautions to avoid tangles would throw her into a tailspin. Travis Ortiz believed anything worth doing is worth doing well. A beast in the cage, Travis was known as "the Outlaw". Determined to have more than mind-blowing passion, Travis found himself fighting in more ways than one.

Who can blame him? Growing up in a successful, millionaire family where legendary boxers are your blood has made him untouchable. His bold words, uncaring attitude, and cunning behaviour have always been forgiven by those who love and despise him alike. He's the devious boy that grew up into a malicious man even though his heart is in the right place. But what happens when tragedy strikes in his only known weakness: his family? His world as he knows it is turned upside down in the most unforgivable way and now he wants vengeance. He wants to hurt the way he's been hurt. And what better target than the only girl who's ever wrecked his heart? Olivia West has no idea she's become her former best friend's latest prey but that doesn't mean she's not ready for him. Because she wants her vengeance too and she wants it from the boy who shattered her heart all those years ago. She used to be his saviour but now she's his enemy and she plays the part disturbingly well. There's just one problem: devastation arises and threatens to rip both their families apart, something that's much bigger than the two of them. Their rivalry must be put on hold or they'll break under the weight of the world. For the first time in years they need each other, whether they like it or not, and discover that hate isn't the only passionate emotion that flares between them. But will they survive this unexpected path, or will they crash and burn? *Spin-off to the original FIGHTER'S DEN series. CAN be read as a stand-alone.
