Take me home by lillaac

‼️ This story definitely comes with a trigger warning ‼️ She was born in a bathtub and raised in a battlefield. Lily doesn't remember the first time her father made her feel small-but she remembers the last time she tried to fight it. When she ran away, it wasn't for freedom. It was for air. For the brief, flickering chance that someone might hold her without leaving bruises. Noah is the boy she wasn't supposed to fall for. Quiet hands. The boy across the state, with gentle eyes. The kind of softness that makes her skin feel like it belongs to her again. He's everything her world is not. But hell has gravity. And when Lily is pulled back to the house that made her, she learns that walking away is not the same as letting go. He came to bring her home. But first, he'll have to convince her she deserves one.

But, what happens when a mysterious man from her past comes back as well as a male that she had a few run ins? Will she be able to fight her demons? Will she ever find love? And, will she win at this hell of a life and have a better one? Or will it all spiral out of control?

Riley knew how to take care of himself. He wasn't good at much, but he could do that and do it well. Cycling through violence and neglect from his father, he didn't have much of a choice. When the abuse turns extreme and Riley can no longer take care of himself, he's forced to rely on the mother who abandoned him when he was five, who also has another family and doesn't appear too pleased about having him back in her life. Physically and emotionally, Riley tries to heal, only to be repeatedly knocked back down. When it comes to his mom, is there even a relationship to salvage? How many chances are too many? And at what point should he just give up and stay down like his father told him? Awesome cover art by _munroe

Us against him by Katie8374

Riley's life is a constant battle. At 15, she's a shy, anxious girl trying to navigate a world that feels like it's always on the edge of falling apart. Her older brother, Atlas, is the one who keeps them both afloat-protecting her and their 6-year-old brother, Neo, from the chaos of their abusive father. While Atlas works to keep a roof over their heads, Riley faces bullying at school and the constant strain of their broken home. Neo, who has autism, struggles to find his place in the world, often retreating into himself to escape the noise around him. But as tensions grow and their father's temper worsens, Riley finds herself caught in the middle, powerless and afraid. With Atlas fighting to keep them safe, can the siblings survive the storm brewing in their own home, or will it tear them apart?

An Unforeseen Love by BeccaSteele1

When all she knows is abuse, abandonment, heartache, pain, and fear can anyone make her feel safe again? What happens when her Knight in shinning armor is just a nerd who loves video games and wants to nothing more than to make her every wish, hope, and dream come true? Will she give him a chance? Or will she think that she needs to protect herself and never let another man hurt her ever again. Throughout the book I will be telling the story of events that happened from each characters point of view to hopefully give you some more insight on what each character is going through. The main part of this book is based off of my current relationship. Some of the events are made up and not fully true. I hope that you enjoy it and if you read it awesome if not I understand this is my first attempt at writing a book so please be kind.

Not a Monster by fluffyfrogggy

"I asked you a question, and you're going to answer it." Hmm. To answer or not to answer. "Geez my name's Carter and can you let go, you're hurting me." I replied making my lower lip quiver slightly. I'm the master of manipulation. He let go immediately and I found myself missing his touch. Stop Carter, don't be an idiot. "Are all alphas as pissy as you?" He didn't seem to appreciate my comment. "Only when it comes to their mates." Sophia Carter Adams. AKA Carter She doesn't care what anyone has to say, she just wants to have fun and live her life, which means causing as much trouble as possible. When her dad can't take her behavior anymore, he sends her away in hopes of her loosing her rebel behavior. Carter has no plans of changing her lifestyle, and maybe things would have went her way, if it weren't for him. Asher Graham Davis. (It's not edited and probably has a lot of mistakes. There's also a lot of cussing...so beware.)

Fight For Her (Devil's Right Hand MC #2) by Mack_2024

Brenna Miller goes by many different names: Shorty, Brenna, and most importantly, Mommy. She fights every day for her daughter, sometimes forgetting herself in the process. In her opinion, life is good. She has her brother, her daughter, a stable job, and a side gig that pays very well. Things are good. She would rather go through life alone, anyway, as that means nobody can hurt her or her daughter. That plan worked until she meets an arrogant man with bright blue eyes and a curiosity for her neither of them understands. Now, she must decide if loneliness is safer, or maybe, just maybe, he is. ------ Driver Roberson is the ruthless Vice President of the Devil's Right Hand MC. His entire life, he was trained to be a fighter, to only think as far as the next fight. Even after he retired his boxing gloves, he followed this motto, one foot in front of the other, one fight at a time. He never wanted anything more than the life he had, owning a popular gym, hosting underground fights, being a part of DRH, and having a different girl in his bed every night. In his mind, life is good. Then how can one girl knock his entire world off its axis? Why does he feel so drawn to her, especially when she constantly pushes him away? Maybe it's fate. Maybe it's lust. Maybe it's true love. But Drive will have to fight for her. ------- Disclaimer: This technically is a sequel to Facing My Demons (Devil's Right Hand MC #1) as it follows all of the same characters. I highly encourage you to read that book first. However, this book can be read as a stand-alone!
