The Name She Carried

I wasn't looking for anyone. Definitely not some half-dead guy bleeding out in the woods.
But hey, life's been full of surprises lately. Like how I graduated with no plans, no future, and no one in my corner (certainly not my parents)- unless you count my best friend Kayla and a lot of quiet resentment.
Then there was him. Croagin. Not quite human, not quite explainable, and apparently really into giving away dangerous secrets to girls who make bad choices in the forest.
Now I'm somewhere that's not home, wrapped up in something ancient and messy and magical, with creatures that don't like me and two guys who might destroy each other - or me - if I'm not careful.
All I ever wanted was to be seen. Turns out someone finally did.
A dark, sharp-tongued fantasy about unwanted magic, complicated boys, and what happens when invisibility stops being safe.

Being asociated with the devil is a burden, and I intent to keep my cards close. Never trust anyone but yourself, except the seven guys I find myself getting closer to. They each have skills i've never seen before, but quesition is: Will it be enough? One thing is clear though. I'm never taking orders from anyone ever again. Over. My. Dead. Body. (Please don't say that statement come true). Whatever is left of me when I'm done, only time will tell. READ THIS BEFORE READING THE NOVEL: This is a contemporary why choose romance, where the female main character doesn't have to choose between any of the male main characters. There will be a happy ending, but the road is long. This is slowburn, meaning that it takes a while for the romance to take place. TW: Foul language, mentions of dead or murder in detail and sad backgroundstories. I'm not these characters or share the same beliefs as them. There are questional topics or insults mentioned by sidecharacters. This is also a little sideproject i'm doing for fun. In no way am I an author, so please be nice. English isn't my first language, so I apologize for spelling-mistakes. Please message me if you find any mistakes! Leave a review so I can improve my writing in the future.Complete
Going Nowhere
My name is Hibiscus Brown, my best friend is a unicorn and my life is going absolutely nowhere. Oh, and I'm a witch. At least partly - the rest is all werewolf. After growling a little to loudly, Hibiscus, Kitty, Brown finds herself in the unfortunate situation of having to move back home to live with her dad /the werewolf/, her step-mom /the werebear/, and all the other creatures living in a small town called Nowhere. Surely it's just temporary? Surely even a half-witch/half-werewolf can figure out what she wants to do with her life? Surely the handsome werewolf who just moved back will ignore her, like he /mostly/ did when they were in high school? And surely the mysterious dark stranger who seems to pop up just about everywhere will help her when she needs it? So many questions... let's see if we can bring some clarity to it all, shall we? *** NOTE *** There will be f-bombs. And references to s-e-x. Nothing graphic because it's not my style, but there certainly will be shit that isn't super appropriate for a younger audience. You have been warned. © lenanorth All the words are mine.

How To Hate A Heartthrob
For most of my life, I was basically invisible. I could've jumped off a building yelling, "Hey guys, I'm going to jump!" and the world would've just... kept scrolling. I wasn't depressed or anything - just tired of being unnoticed. It would've been nice if someone, anyone, looked my way. But after a while, I got used to it. No attention meant no distractions. No judgment. Just me, my cat, cookies, and my best friend Naomi against the world. My plan was simple: survive high school, glow up in college, find my Prince Charming, and drive off into the sunset in a pink Volkswagen Beetle. (Don't judge me. That's my dream car.) But then he showed up. Alexander Collins - the new kid. Arrogant, annoying, frustratingly good-looking. The kind of boy who ruins your peace just by existing. Somehow, he's made it his life mission to get under my skin. And even though I swear I hate him... part of me can't help but wonder if maybe being noticed by him isn't so bad. --------- This is my first story, I hope you enjoy it. I'll be honestly I'm not good at writing at ALL, but I've been wanting to pick up a hobby So I apologize in advance for my terrible grammar, and for most likely a cringy book. But I hope you enjoy:) #romcom #romance #comedy #YAlove #adultromance
Dark Passions
I have a stalker. I know everyone eventually has one and some are solved over time or through restraining orders. But let's take a moment and imagine this scenario; restraining orders, or anything in that nature, wouldn't solve the problem. There was nothing you can do to be free. This stalker can bounce up and over law boundaries, manipulates others, and the deceiving appearance makes others call you a liar. Even without those, this man is beyond what I now call normal. He's cruel and vindictive, and he puts criminals away for a living. He isn't the average stalker; he's smart. And when I say smart, well, that's something you'll have to see for yourself. I walked right into this dark rift, and for the longest time there was no way out. Until I discovered his one flaw. And that may just happen to be his downfall.Complete
Becoming Her Dark Side
They lied to me. My own family. My so-called friends. All of them hiding the truth, that we're tied to the criminal underworld, a forte where my family, the Storms, are the undisputed kings. Then everything falls apart. My dad gets framed. My cousin ends up dead. And the boy I've had a childhood crush on-Nathaniel-turns out to be the one who could destroy me. At least Luke, the one person I shouldn't want, fights to keep me from breaking... but even he has secrets. But it's gets even worse, because now an organization is rising from the shadows, an organization that opposes everything my family stands for. And in a family of warmongers and sociopaths, I stood out as a glaring weakness. The most normal, the most vulnerable, and the most efficient way to end a dynasty that has ruled for centuries. Because what is a throne without an heir, and a crown without its king. So here I am, stuck in a game of blood and betrayal where the only way to survive is to stop being the fragile girl they thought I was. If I have to burn bridges, spill blood, and embrace the monster inside me, then so be it. Because this time, I'm not running from my darkness. I'm becoming it.
