"Harry noticed the two bikers speeding along the College's gate. Obviously they belonged to that biker gang, the "Sabertooths", as they called themselves. He shook his head in annoyance. They were all such hunks that it almost wasn't bearable for him. Good looking, strong, muscular, but bullies and assholes of the worst kind. Harry had heard all kinds of stories about that group, but he wasn't sure which ones he was supposed to believe. From robbing a bank, to raping their own mother people told each other everything about them."


When Tom, the second gang leader of the "Sabertooths" falls in love with a student of the local university, hell breaks loose in the small town. Nobody knows who is on which side, but everybody knows, who isn't on Chris's side, is going down.


This story roughly takes place in the early sixties, about 20 years after the second world war's end. The prints of the war are still obvious to feel for everybody.
This is the story of some young adults, who have to grow up in a world full of abuse, hate, and prejudices. Somehow they have to compete with all that their parents have been through and still remain good human beings. And maybe, just maybe, find love in a world where the word of trust comes at the very last.

Many thanks for the amazing cover to @writtenbyElisabeth- !!!

*Check out the audiobook on Youtube* Emma has sworn never to fall in love, but when circumstances force her to move in with her brother's best friend there are definite sparks. Like when he accidentally picks up her vibrator... Or when she walks in on him naked in the shower... Maybe... maybe they should just do it once... to get it out of their systems. Knightley has been her brother's best friend for as long as she can remember. And now they're all at the same university. It's not until she moves into his apartment that she notices just how grown-up he's become. He's no longer the scrawny boy she never paid attention to. Ripped and handsome, he's no stranger to taking women home. But he never lets them stay the night. Knightley never expected this. Somehow, he's ended up living with his best friend's little sister. And she has turned hot as hell. He does not need the image of her with a vibrator taking up space in his head. She is off limits. Of course she is. No matter what kind of feelings he has for her. This is a brother's best friend, roommates-to-lovers with a secret relationship and steamy benefits. (❤️18+ recommended❤️) It's unedited, so there might be mistakes throughout. Thanks for your understanding! Book 2 in the Benefits series. This is a standalone, but it follows Pride and Hate with Benefits. (Both are inspired by Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice and Emma.)

With striking good looks, a chiseled physique, and charm that captivates all, he is the heartthrob of the college. He is arrogant, cold, and a womanizer. On the other side of the spectrum was Leo Reyes a brilliant mechanical engineering student, who is the epitome of contradiction. Despite being poor, he excels in academics and possesses a heart of gold beneath a tough exterior. He has a complete bad boy personality, Tattoos adorn his body, a visual testament to his rebellious spirit, his hidden struggles, and the dangerous path he has traders. He is a person who is exhausted of his own life. Their paths cross in a collision of pride and prejudice, igniting a feud that threatens to engulf them both. Each day unfolds a battle of wits and wills, leaving scars deeper than just surface wounds. However, fate is a master weaver, entwining destinies in ways that are hard to fathom. In a world that tries to tear them apart, they must decide if their budding feelings are worth the risk. Will they embrace the love that blossoms amidst the chaos and hatred, or will they let their shadows cast them adrift? Only time will tell if their hearts can transcend the darkness and come together in a blaze of unexpected passion. Note: This story is for 18+ and reading is your risk.

✬ 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.
