He brought chaos. She needed control. 

Neither expected to fall.

Esmeralda Hotchkiss was a straight-A perfectionist. She wore icy expressions like a second face. But underneath her seemingly pristine reputation was a past she refused to let shape her future. 

Then there was Jaleel Kilcarragh. 

Rich. Reckless and hid secrets beneath his smug grin and chiseled jaw. When he proposed a no-strings-attached offer to help her "unwind," Esmerlda was foolish enough to say yes, thinking she could walk away unphased. 

What she didn't know was that he was sent to ruin her. 

What he didn't know was that she would stir something deep inside him. 

Now, tied up in lust, secrets, and a brewing fight for control, the line between distraction and obsession blurs. When the truth surfaces... someone will break. 

Addictive, spicy, chaotic. 

Perfect for fans of dark romance, secret agendas, twisted bad boys, and not so perfect perfectionists.All Rights Reserved

Can't Stay Away by AR-Writes

From two different worlds but two sides of the same coin. It's almost like you're within reaching distance from them but yet you aren't allowed to touch them, embrace them, love them, have them. You could only admire them and dream of them. Ophelia Danvers comes from a rich and snobbish family. One that looks down on people even if their filthy rich like them. But she isn't like them at all. Non-judgmental and kind until pushed and not to mention that she's a hopeless romantic. Like every queen, they need to find their king but what if her king isn't the fortunate type? Trevor King, cold and stone hearted punk from other side of the tracks, is a student at Lakeford high. You could say he's a bad boy, delinquent, even lawless thug and that's true but there's more to him. Only his mother sees it. He isn't a player and shows no interest in dating; all girls are the same to him, that is until he meets Ophelia. Will he be able to keep his cold act up or will he finally be thawed?

Sins of Aiden by -honeycream-

"You know I'll find out who did that to you. And they better wish for a headstart." I snap my gaze up. His voice turned awry in my ears at the menacing promise. I stare at him, blinking.

His eyes spark with sabotage. "Good." )( )( Aiden Martinez has always been viewed to let his anger get the best of him, and his whole life to assemble a root of all ominous to come.

When a flame falls, a timorous spark ignites light. A pledge Aiden holds turns all bound to the consequences into ashes. But when Mia's life comes in between his vengeance-who will shatter first?
