Ava has always felt a protective bubble around her, crafted by her older brother Liam and his lifelong best friend, Jake. Growing up in a small town where everyone knows everyone, Ava has navigated life with the knowledge that her brother's friendship with Jake means he's off-limits. But as the years go by, and with a summer reunion bringing them all together, the chemistry between Ava and Jake becomes undeniable.

As Jake battles his own feelings and tries to prove he's not the player Liam fears, both friends are forced to confront the truth about their relationship and the risks involved. Can Ava and Jake navigate their tangled emotions and the complications of friendship, or will their love story come at the cost of everything they hold dear? Dive into this heartfelt tale of first love, loyalty, and the complexities of relationships that explores how far one is willing to go for love-especially when it means risking the most important bonds of all.

yours. by lovesick-dreamer

two boys. two houses. two hearts. Seventeen-year-old 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘀 has a long stretch of boring, lonely summer ahead of him. So when a new boy his age moves in next door, he sees an opportunity -- for what, he doesn't quite know yet. Meanwhile, 𝗝𝗮𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗿 just wants to move on from his haunting past and get a fresh start in his new home. He doesn't expect his new, annoyingly attractive neighbour to get in the way of that. Funny how time has a way of changing even the stubbornest of hearts. And, in the same way, has an awful way of breaking them. [mature for themes of self-harm and domestic violence]

Find A Way To My Heart - Book 1 ✔️ by Cathy_Zeewriter

Cassalia Elle Anderson has never been one to gamble with her heart. Love, with all its whispered promises and cruel betrayals, has always been a game she refuses to play. Too much had been lost before, too many scars etched beneath her skin. And yet, two years ago, everything changed. Ben Mills stepped into her life-captivating, impossible to ignore-woven into her world through her best friend, Paul. She told herself it was nothing. A fleeting fascination. But no matter how fiercely she tried to bury it, the ache remained-a slow, smoldering ember she dared not fan into flame. Until one day, Ben said the words she never expected to hear, his confession forcing her to stand at the edge of something she never thought she'd want. Just when she convinces herself to leap, Blake Handerson emerges like a storm, creeping into her thoughts, unearthing buried doubts, and turning her world upside down, leaving her torn between two choices. Love, trust, betrayal-nothing is as it seems. As the walls around Cassy's heart begin to crack, she must face one question: Who truly deserves her heart? "Once you turn the first page, there's no turning back."

Altered by LuellaOpal

Have you ever met someone who alters the course of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness. This is a complete story that is much like life; fast, full of surprises, and not always how we want it to be. This has been a project of mine for over three years. It was self-published on Amazon, but after some issues in publication, I decided to just upload it on here. I hope you fall in love with these characters like I have. The friends in this story are trying to make names for themselves, figure out who they are, who they can trust, how to love, and how to separate themselves from a restrictive community. As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late? PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.

Harassenger: Backseat Admirer ✔️ by autumnwritesromance

(#1 in HEARTWRENCHING) She gave him a ride, and he gave her a million reasons to run him over with her car instead. *** Natalie Fisher (Natt) has hit an end as dead as her town of Salty Edge. She fell in love with a guy who's out of her league, and who also happens to be her best guy friend. Putting her on the spot, she's forced to be a part of her best friend's wedding, not only to serve, but to officiate it. How can you pray for a happy marriage when all you want do is show up drunk and object? I guess bringing a date could lessen the load, or make it heavier to be exact. On the way to the wedding, Natalie Fisher picks up an unlikely guest that changes the course of Natalie's plans. Best friend? Who's that? Natalie certainly doesn't remember. With odd family traditions, blind dates, steamy vacations, and a few jealous men, things are about to get bumpy. So sit back, buckle up, and enjoy the ride, because it'll be a long one! - Harassenger: Backseat Admirer by autumnkeely - Sneakpeek quote from novel: "The question isn't if you can see your future with me; you can picture your life with anyone. The question is this: is the future you see with me the one you want, and the one you deserve?" #1 in Heartwrenching #4 in Deception #9 in Beach #149 in ChickLit *WOAH!
