Sussianna is 20 and going to be 21, she lives in Boston, and it's her final year at Boston University College. She already knows what she wants to do for her life- a marine biologist. But after a horrible tragedy happened in her past, keeps hunting her almost every single night, she lost all hope for her life to change. Now, she must learn how to cope with life. She felt her world had fallen apart; felt she would never escape her past and would be in darkness- what she calls "the shadows"- forever. Until her life changes with someone she never thought of.

When she crossed paths with a dark and mysterious guy named Chris she finds everything she was hoping for. Chris seemed nice at first but becomes spiteful and rude to the point which he drives her crazy and makes her want to walk away from him, but it's not that easy to just walk away. She becomes under his spell; she wants to give him a chance and just maybe he will be the 'nice guy' he proclaims he is. But he's not what he all seems to be and becomes what she'd feared the most.

✬ 𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝔻𝕒𝕣𝕜 ＆ 𝕃𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥 𝕊𝕖𝕣𝕚𝕖𝕤 ✬ There is a crucial moment in one's life that determines the outcome of everything; well, as books and movies would have you believe. But Monica McCaslin didn't think she would ever be one of those people, would ever have one of those moments. Brought up in a small suburb, with everything she could ever ask for, there wasn't much left for her to want. Monica's ordinary life was to go as such- follow her high school sweetheart to college, graduate, get married, have two kids; the cookie cutter life. White picket fence included. What she did not expect was to meet a dark-haired stranger sitting all alone on a park bench, at that very same school she was to attend with said future husband. After a brief conversation, just a handful of words between them, Monica decides to go on a cross-country road trip with him; putting her faith and future in the hands of a stranger. Thinking she'd soon regret her decision and the life she left behind, she realizes she doesn't at all. Free of expectation and a future that she thought was set in stone, she begins to find the woman she was truly meant to be. State by state, with each border they cross, Monica liberates her true self. 𝔹𝕠𝕠𝕜 ➃ 𝕠𝕗 ➃ - ℂ𝕠𝕞𝕡𝕝𝕖𝕥𝕖 - ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ This is a work of fiction.

To Breathe Again by SurvivingLioness

"I want to capture this moment and save it forever." He looked at her, watching the way her cheeks flushed a deep red as he brushed a strand of hair behind her ear. "You're breathtaking. You have no idea how gorgeous you are, do you?" His voice was a low whisper, sending shivers down her spine. She tried to hide her smile but failed. Slowly, he leaned in, his breath warm against her neck. "Would you like me to make you feel good?" Her heart raced as she nodded, barely able to speak. His hands moved down her legs, teasing her, building anticipation. She leaned back, letting herself get lost in the moment, her mind swirling with the intoxicating sensations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michelle Garcia is doing the best she can to get back on her feet along with her 17 year old son. In her 40s, thrown away twice by men she should've been able to trust, she has chosen to focus on what she can control and work hard to provide for herself and Tony. Grant, Trent and Sam are three friends who have been together through thick and thin. Growing up together, they realized that they would always be a team. Them against whatever the world was going to throw at them. They also realized that they never wanted a woman to pull them apart. No Yoko Ono for them, nope. They needed a woman that they could share; one that would hold them together and balance them out. They tried separate relationships in the past but all fizzled out. They never found one that met the needs and desires of all three, until they saw her. RECENTLY EDITED WITH A CHANGE IN THE ENDING

Gray's a cocky jerk who seems to get a misguided kick out of making my blood boil. And did I mention the guy's got a chip on his tattooed shoulder even bigger than his inflated ego? Unfortunately, I just found out that I accidentally hired him to work on the BIGGEST campaign of my career!💀 But when Gray's prismatic eyes fill with heartfelt apologies, I don't know how to feel.

Olivia never really paid any attention to the guys in school and she's never let herself fall in love. Ever. With college just months away, she had no interest in beginning a new relationship. Besides, she just wanted to enjoy her senior year with minimal distractions. Then her adoptive parents decide to foster an arrogant, irritating guy, who frustrated her to no end. But then tension, oh sweet tension, grows between them whenever the other is near. How is Olivia supposed to fight the inevitable if they live alone in the same house? How is she supposed to not become attached or fall for his cool, flirty, and sometimes reckless personality? Especially when they both forget about the rules. Tyler didn't expect anyone to want to foster him, but SGA was getting old anyway. With his father out of his life, it was time to finally live it without risking getting arrested for doing anything else illegal. Olivia wasn't supposed to become part of his world. How could she?

Charly's Language by yanirubini
21 parts Complete Mature
When I met Charly, she was a bomb. Our years together in law school were intense and profound as two loner souls nosediving into a troublesome romance. We did things together I wouldn't dare tell anyone, our physical attraction was unstoppable from the start. But Charly instigated the darkest side of me until our demons were unleashed. It was the time of my life, and nothing has come close since. Now a decade later, I need to work through what happened, just as Charly decides to reappear, derailing my life once again. The exact moment I began to give my relationship with Emily a real try, and after years of knowing nothing about Charly but deceitful lies, she just shows up, only this time her lies have gone too far: what she has hidden from me will disrupt everything. Charly was the rich and sexy, freaky girl who could have anything she desired and she craved me, just a poor boy lucky enough to have been granted an athlete's scholarship. Our love was real, and so was our pain, we were both trying to evade ourselves. These are the recollections of how we became addicted to each other and other agents that nearly destroyed us. In our sexual awakening, we went to extremes most people would call insanity and yet in that chaos, I loved her more than anything and anyone and I know she loved me the same. She helped me believe in myself, something no one ever did before and my success today is all thanks to her, I know. But now that she comes clean about everything, will I be able to live with it? Will I be able to let go of this anger I carry with me since birth? But more importantly, has she come to stay? Yanina brings the first ardent romance from the series "The Zodiac in Love" centered around the relationship between pleasure and trauma, about the search for ecstasy that comes so near agony. In order to heal the relationship and themselves they must first come to rock bottom but how deep can they go before they realize it must just be bottomless?
My Stolen Jewel by Roseheartisbored
43 parts Complete Mature
Jacob, an abusive, jealous, and manipulative man, just cannot seem to impress his ex in front of his new partner. Rather, he can't win him back. In the City of New Lunadia, where people are hybrids of humans and "spirits" such as wolves, zombies, or elemental forces of nature, there are two of them who's lives are about to change. Elli Fox, a 21-year old telepathic vampire who is also a famous popstar, Sunny Fox, Elli's wife, a 21-year old shadow spirit with powers of infliction, teleportation, and increased strength, and Noah Woodson, a 21-year-old empath with the power of light manipulation and creation. They were highschool friends who hadn't seen each other since college. One day, they bump into eachother at a party. Noah uses whatever chance he gets to tell Elli about everything, but also, to confess about how he truly feels about his friend. Elli and Sunny keep him their little secret. Elli loves Noah so much and wouldn't wanna see him get hurt. But it doesn't stay a secret for long. Hearts are broken, sparks fly, and most importantly, fists are thrown. This story will occasionally be edited, as I may not like how things sound over time. I am progressively getting better at writing smut. If you read this book again and notice some changes, don't worry! I'm just trying to make it better. I wrote this about a year ago and I have grown a lot since then. This book contains LGBTQIA+ relationships, people, and detailed sexual scenes. If you are against the LGBTQIA, i suggest you read another book and leave no hate. Because you don't have to. Thank you!

His lips are dominating my own, as his hands travel down my back, and he tugs on my shirt, to release it from my skirt. His hands then caresses my bare skin for a few minutes, before he sits up. He brings me with him, and I'm now straddling his lap. His eyes are filled with lust, and I'm so damn scared, for completely different reasons than earlier tonight. His skillful fingers finds the buttons of my shirt, and he opens them slowly, while I lean back down towards him, to make our lips connect again. I might come to my senses if he doesn't keep kissing me. He tugs the shirt off of me, and his hands run across my bare stomach. He stops, suddenly, and I feel a sharp sting under my left boob. "What happened? Are you..." He trails off, as he looks down at my body, and I stiffen. Holy shit, I forgot all about that. "Ives... What is this?" he asks, and he pulls his hands away from me. 🌹 Ives has just moved away from her overprotective brother and their alcoholic dad to go to college. She is trying her best to put her past behind her, but it keeps coming back to haunt her. In this book we get to know Ives and her new friends as she struggles with her newfound freedom. (This is the first book in the Life series.)
