I'm drowning in the numbness. It's pulling me under and I can't see the surface. It's easier to pretend I can't feel. And the longer you pretend, the easier it is to believe. But he wants to save me. Only he can't. I have to save myself...and I don't know if I want to.

Rowan Sinclair's life has been anything but easy. With an alcoholic mother and a sleazy stepfather, it's been her responsibility to raise her younger siblings. At twenty-one she's chained to a life she doesn't want, but sees no other alternative. After all, what would happen to her brother and sister if she were to leave?

Trenton Wentworth sees the pain behind Rowan's eyes. He wants nothing more than to make it disappear. To hold her. To love her. Except Rowan keeps everyone at a safe distance. But if there's anyone that can break down the walls she's built around herself, it's Trent. So she avoids him at all costs. But Trent isn't one to be easily evaded. He's stubborn and determined. He'll save this girl even if it costs him everything. 

Love, lies, and deception.

The Hunter's Prey by Imagination_isle

Rowan Hunter is one of the youngest and most powerful men in the city, born into a life of both terrible darkness and insurmountable wealth yet cursed to never find satisfaction in the latter. He is ruthless and unhinged, he takes everything he wants and destroys everything he can't have. A man who is notorious for his temper and an even worse reputation for his misleadingly gorgeous looks. No one in his life would dare to deny him of anything... or so he thought. Cassidy Tyler is as ordinary as ordinary comes, newly recovering from the loss of her mother, she continues with college with the hopes of restarting her life. Unfortunately, the poor choices of her past come back to bite her in the ass, placing her right in the crosshairs of the most dangerous man in the city, who is far too proud to admit Cassidy is the only girl who wouldn't be wrapped around his finger.

Tangled Hearts by RennyTee

[BOOK 1] "I won't leave" I whisper, and he smiles, "I know, baby" he says softly, and my lips tug upwards into a smile. "You're the exception" he continued, his tone tender as he pressed a short, sweet kiss to my forehead. I didn't know it then, but I started falling in love with Finn Brookes, we were each other's exceptions. * * * Lily Garcia didn't come to university looking for love-especially not with someone like Finn Brooks. He's charming, infuriating, and a walking complication she doesn't need. But no matter how hard she tries to keep her distance, there's something about him that feels like gravity, pulling her closer with every encounter. Beneath his cocky exterior, she senses the fractures he tries to hide-the same ones she's been running from her entire life. Finn's been through hell, and love isn't part of the plan. He's good at keeping his walls high, locking out anyone who might get too close. But then Lily shows up, and suddenly his carefully controlled life begins to unravel. She's everything he didn't know he was missing, and that scares him more than he's willing to admit. But with their pasts threatening to destroy what they could be, and old friends trying to drive a wedge between them, trust becomes their biggest hurdle. And when a new love interest steps into the picture, everything Lily and Finn thought they were building starts to fall apart. Fighting their demons was never supposed to include each other, but now they have to decide if the risk of heartbreak is worth the reward of finally letting someone in.

Roommates with Benefits [COMPLETED] by SofiaMKay

Knightley has been her brother's best friend for as long as she can remember. And now they're all at the same university. It's not until she moves into his apartment that she notices just how grown-up he's become. He's no longer the scrawny boy she never paid attention to. Ripped and handsome, he's no stranger to taking women home. But he never lets them stay the night. Knightley never expected this. Somehow, he's ended up living with his best friend's little sister. And she has turned hot as hell. He does not need the image of her with a vibrator taking up space in his head. She is off limits. Of course she is. No matter what kind of feelings he has for her. This is a brother's best friend, roommates-to-lovers with a secret relationship and steamy benefits. (❤️18+ recommended❤️) It's unedited, so there might be mistakes throughout. Thanks for your understanding! Book 2 in the Benefits series. This is a standalone, but it follows Pride and Hate with Benefits. (Both are inspired by Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice and Emma.)

Remember me by smiling_optimist

All it took were five seconds for Max Henson to realize that the dream of coming home to the love of his life was shattered. It took him forever to calm his racing heart and to stop the tremor in his hands before he got up the nerve to knock at HER door. Max was or rather had been a Navy SEAL for god's sake and now he was fucking scared of coming back to the only woman, who mattered. To be honest, Max was terrified, because all he ever wanted was Josie Benett. Max prayed to God that Josie remembered his promise to her, but it had been fucking 5 years. He still remembered absolutely everything about Josie and a small smile made its appearance on his lips. She was the only one, who got that kind of reactions out of him. Max could hear footsteps coming closer to the door and he sucked in a calming breath. However, it did not help at all as the door opened and Josie's beautiful emerald green eyes looked in confusion at his face. It felt like a punch to the gut and believe me Max had received a lot of them, but nothing had hurt more than Josie's puzzled look right now. It was almost like she could not remember, who he was. But that was fucking impossible, right? "Can I help you, sir?", her sweet voice asked him and it was in this moment that Max heart shattered. A heart that had always just beaten for Josie.

His Nightingale by WYLD_ROSE

Book 1 of the Jackson Series! Ella finally gets an opportunity to escape the clutches of her cruel tormentor before fate leads her to Ryder Jackson. Broken and bruised, she soon finds comfort in Ryder who is equally as hesitant to wear his heart on his sleeve. Both have pasts that they just want to forget and souls that need healing. Will they be able to move on together or will history catch up to them? *** I smile shyly and move closer to his face as my eyes sneak a peek at his lips. Meeting his gaze that has darkened with desire I curl my fingers around his collar and pull him closer. "Now, are you going to kiss me?" "Yes." He nods before leaning in until his lips are a breath away. I pull back which makes him groan in frustration. "Promise to never let me go?" It happens in a blur. His lips descend on mine in a hungry yet passionate kiss filled with longing. I whimper softly when his teeth bite down on my bottom lip and coax me to give in. And, I do. His tongue meets mine as we explore each other, tasting and savoring. I tangle my fingers in his hair and tug slightly which makes him kiss me feverishly. It's like he almost doesn't want this moment to end no matter how much air is becoming a matter of priority. I pull away first, dazed still. He follows and his lips trail over the heated skin of my neck, kissing across my jawline, teasing the corner of my lips before nibbling on my earlobe. I'm a mess as I crave more of his addictive touch. I feel like I'm flying. "I promise to never let you go, Ella."

Worth the Risk by KateRavenaw

August & Colin | WRU series | book 1 We take risks. We make mistakes. We lie. We love. We hurt. We lose total control. I took a risk. I paid the price. I made a mistake. I felt the guilt. I lied. I lie. I loved. I try not to. I hurt. I still do. I lost control. I'm losing again. I try to stick to my plan, I try to follow my rules, I try to silence my heart, I try to keep control of the domino stones that represent my life. But one domino fell and the rest just followed. *** "We shouldn't do this," he whispers against my lips. I should applaud him for having the strength to act on that thought because I haven't been able to. At one point I wanted to, but his touches made the impulse to stop vanish. Now, the only thing I want to act on is the longing inside my chest as I think about demolishing the space between us. "Do you want to stop?" I can feel his frown against my forehead. He nudges my nose before placing a featherlight kiss on my mouth. His hands slide over my jawline, his thumbs slowly caressing my cheeks. He gives me another kiss. Slow and deliberately, as if he's still debating the answer to my question as he slicks his tongue over mine. He softly sucks on my bottom lip, dragging it with him when he pulls away. "I can't," he confesses before he presses his lips back on mine. *** All Rights Reserved (Do not copy this story, thank you :))
