It contains romance storylines but there are a lot of other kinds of relationships represented. Most of the characters in the series are queer, including the main character who is ace. The worldbuilding includes vampires, immortals, and magic, with my personal twist on the lore. There is definitely drama in the story but also a lot of fluff. *** TW : violence, grief, addiction.

The Secret City by AshleyEmmaAuthor

Lady Aria of Li-Aval feels like a prisoner, with a magnificent manor as her cage. Her father hides her from the rest of the world because Aria has hair like strands of gold. Literally, her hair is gold. When Aria's father tries to marry her off to an elderly man, she takes her deceased mother's necklace and runs away with her servant, Tina. They stumble upon Torenth, a city hidden behind a waterfall, and the Guardians welcome her into their castle like family. Lord Deric tries to win her heart, but Aria's eyes are on Owen, the shy blacksmith. When Aria finds out she is the next Guardian of Torenth according to a prophecy, she must figure out a way to keep her father out of Torenth. For if she cannot be the next Guardian, Torenth will be lost forever. Note: I wrote this ten years ago when I was 14 so it is rather short! Only 24,000 words.

Your therapy by Girlwithblueeyes27

Ella is a 19-year-old girl living in the heart of America. She has a quiet resilience about her, a strength forged through personal trials that many her age might not understand. With deep, expressive eyes that seem to hold stories untold, and a cascade of dark hair, she often feels like she's a bit out of place among her peers. Ella carries herself with a quiet dignity, never seeking the spotlight but always drawing it unintentionally due to her unique perspective on life. She's creative and introspective, often retreating into her world of drawings and books when reality feels too harsh. Despite her reserved nature, there's an unmistakable spark of determination within her, a resolve to stand up against the difficulties she faces. Her family life is complex. Ella's father, Edward, passed away, leaving a void filled with cherished memories of family game nights playing Monopoly. Her mother, Scarlet, is a powerful businesswoman, a billionaire who is always busy, leaving Ella to be cared for by her loving Aunt Jule. Though she loves her mother, Ella feels a deep sense of loneliness due to her absence, and she often finds herself hiding the truth about her family's wealth to avoid unwanted attention. Ella's exterior may seem calm and collected, but beneath it lies a blend of vulnerability and strength, much like someone who knows the pain of loss and the struggle to find oneself. She may be just a character, but her story resonates with the authenticity of real experiences and emotions, mirroring the journey of a young teen-age girl discovering her own resilience.

The White House - Book 6, The Porth Kerensa Series by Mezmerised

James and Elise, a couple driven to the brink by tragedy and loss, struggle to come to terms with their past and a life they'll never know. Desperate to salvage something from the crumbling wreck of their marriage they move to Porth Kerensa seeking refuge in the white house. Their search for the space and time to rebuild leads them to a home filled with secrets. What should be a new start in an idyllic setting quickly takes a sinister twist and it soon becomes apparent that it's not just their marriage they are fighting to save. The White House has been placed in the R category by Wattpad because it has adult language in it and deals with issues such as a suicide attempt and domestic abuse. I could have censored it to please Wattpad and the impressionable teenagers on here, but I truly feel that it would lose something fundamental to the story if I did. My loyal readers will know that any difficult subjects will be dealt with sensitively and maturely. When the locked to R chapters are posted I will ask Wattpad to reassess the rating. Thank you for your patience.

Bound by shadows by K_Writeasahobby

"Jacob, you have to think long term," his mother had said again. "A wife is more than just a companion. She represents your family, and the choices you make now will affect our reputation for years to come." (Elise) As Maria secures a scholarship to a prestigious boarding school, she hopes to escape her troubled home life, only to find herself confronting insecurities and emotional scars that threaten to pull her away from Jacob. Torn apart by circumstance and choice, Maria's journey leads her into a world of darkness, where she becomes ensnared in a life of pain and humiliation. Meanwhile, Jacob grapples with his family's mounting pressure and his own conflicted feelings, struggling to reconcile his love for Maria with the harsh realities of their lives. Jacob's heart clenched at her words, but he forced himself to remain still, to hold onto his anger, even as it threatened to consume him. "Don't bother," he replied coldly. "We were nothing. Just a mistake." Years later, fate intervenes as they cross paths again, but this time, Jacob's heart has hardened, twisted by anger and betrayal. He seeks revenge, subjecting Maria to the very humiliation she fought to escape. With each encounter, the weight of their shared history hangs heavily in the air, as both characters are forced to confront their choices, their love, and the haunting question of whether redemption is possible. "Jacob!" she spat, stepping forward, fists clenched at her sides. "You think you can just walk back into my life, buy me like I'm some kind of object, and I'll just-what? Smile and thank you?" (Maria) Bound by shadows is a poignant exploration of love, sacrifice, and the scars that linger long after the choices are made. It delves into the complexities of relationships, the struggle for self-worth, and the enduring hope for a brighter future, even in the face of overwhelming darkness.
