Aria Adkins only cares about three things: 

1.) the bills piling up on her kitchen counter.
2.) getting her sister out of their dead-end hometown and off to college.
3.) keeping the bottle of Jim Beam out of her heartbroken, alcoholic mother's reach.

Closed-off and content as one can be with a never ending routine of crappy part-time jobs and the task of cleaning up broken whiskey bottles, Aria is used to dealing with things by herself; especially after her father runs off and she's forced to step up to the plate and solely care for her dysfunctional mother and younger sister. At twenty-one, Aria sticks to herself and has no time for men, romance, and most of all, love. After witnessing the demise of her parents' train wreck of a marriage lead to a cycle of adultery, addiction, and abuse, she swears to herself that she wants no part in any of it.

That all changes when she crosses paths with tall and tattooed New Orleans native Austin Delaney, who weasels his way into Aria's heart and refuses to let her maneuver life alone. 

First, he offers her a job. And then? The promise that he's not going anywhere.

Dynamite Touch (18+) Book 1 by mafiahoe23

"I know what you're doing," I said, pointing my spoon at him and he cocked a curious eyebrow, "Is that so?" I nodded as I spooned more pudding into my mouth and straightened my back, "You're trying to intimidate me, make me spill my secrets. I have none so your psychology-ridden methods won't work on me." "I don't buy it," he grinned mischievously and I shrugged, "There's not a price." He walked towards me and placed his hands on either side of me on the counter, leaning in so almost our noses were touching. I cleared my throat and shook my head, "Elliott, you have to stop." A smile graced his plump lips as humor danced in his eyes, "And why's that?" I wriggled out of his stance and hopped off of the counter, eating another spoonful of the delicious goodness, "I want to see where things go with Dean. He's your brother so why are you doing this?" "Doing what?" He asked, knowingly. He asks so many questions. "That thing you do. That smile. Your touches. The way you look at me, Elliott, please." --------------- Cameron Moore, a troubled girl from a small town in England, flees her dark past and wounds up living in her sister's house in America to attend university. She turns friends into family, involuntary love interests, and eventually finds herself in a love triangle with two brothers despite telling herself she has no time for romance. Will she stick to her promises or will she give into her love affairs even after everything that happened to her back in England? #1 in Recovery on 5/15/20 #6 in CollegeStory on 9/20/21

How else is the adopted child whose birth parents run a drug cartel supposed to fit in? He's notorious for his overconfident swagger and total lack of patience for bullshit - a master of masks. The one thing in his life he can't fake? His feelings for his best friend's twin sister. When she returns back home after eight years of living in another city, Asher is ready to take their lifelong friendship to another level. Of course, life has rarely worked in his favour. Between the letters his birth parents keep sending him, a run-in with an old enemy that's out for his blood, and his responsibility to protect his adoptive parents from his fucked up birth family, he would only be putting the woman he loves in danger. He may make his living as a fighter but this is one fight he's destined to lose. Right? Aria Hunter has gotten pretty good at faking it until you make it. After getting through an abusive relationship and fleeing to another city Aria is ready to return home years later. Everything has changed, including her relationship with her best friend. There's a constant magnetic pull between them and Aria feels their intense chemistry with every touch and look Asher steals from her.

Our Broken Pieces by meclayton2016

What do you get when your broken pieces are too broken to repair? A destructive relationship that's dangerous. Mystic Mystic Anderson was broken, and she knew this. However, she had no idea why. Her parents were wonderfully supportive, she got along nicely with her brother and sister, they lived in a great neighborhood, and she was well on her way to graduating high school. So, with all that going for her, how did she end up so broken and lost? Gage Gage Evans was evil, and he knew this. He also knew exactly why. On the surface, he had the perfect life. He was popular, good-looking, athletic, lived in a goddamn mansion, both his parents were doctors, and he was well on his way to graduating high school. So, with all that going for him, how did he end up so evil and unconscionable? When life has other plans... Ten years later, Mystic is a shell of her former self. Estranged from her family, she has only one friend who she can trust and a job that is as mundane as her life. When her new job put her face-to-face with Gage Evans again, it's obvious that she hasn't been cured of him. Ten years later, Gage is as cold and as ruthless as he's ever been. The only people he can tolerate are his mother and best friend, everyone else can go screw themselves. When he comes face-to-face with Mystic Anderson again, it's obvious that he's still as angry as the day she left him. With desire and rage warring with each other, can Gage forgive Mystic for all those missing years? Better yet, can Mystic forgive Gage for the heartache she's had to endure? And can they figure it out before one destroys the other? NOTE: This book contains adult language, adult situations, explicit sexual encounters, and questionable aggression and consent.

"You are not going there and that's the end of our conversation." He yelled while tightening his grip on my wrist. I tried to free my wrist but no avail. "And why should I not?!" I argued. "Please Aria for the love of God, listen to me! It's not safe for you." He said but I wasn't going to listen to him. "Why do you care? Who are you to care? You're not even my boss now. So why-" "Because I love you God damn it! I love you! I care about you. That's who I am. I can't live without you." He paused and placed his hand on my cheek.

He said softly and placed his forehead against mine. ********* Aria Mathews, with many dreams crushed, heart broken and scars countless, is still a sweet and simple girl who has the small hope of everything going right in her life.

Losing someone close to her and the guilt that eats away at her heart. How do you deal with it? The life she had known was gone. The pain feels like drowning. Though putting your life together is hard when you keep finding out people aren't who they say they are. Who could possibly help her keep her head above water? Someone she least expected? Could he be the one to save her, before it all becomes too much? Ryder didn't leave much falsehood to rumors. A complete playboy. He didn't have much he cared about in life anymore, at least, other than his friends. They were the only ones who knew his dark secrets, the mystery that hid in his eyes. That's the way he liked it, usually keeping to himself, not giving a shit what anyone thought about him. When Aria walks in his life, things get shaken up. Now, life starts getting a little more interesting.
