Just when Aurora is finally taking control of her own life, everything seems to be falling into chaos. She leaves behind all that she's ever known to take a chance at life in an entirely new place. But America is nothing like England, and its inhabitants even more so. Trusting her brother to help her adapt, Aurora accepts his offer to stay with him and some of his teammates. Seven of them to be exact. She quickly comes to realize that her comfort-zone doesn't exist here, and everything is big, scary, and intimidating. Just like her brother's best friend. Maddox is Aurora's polar opposite, which explains the magnetic pull that he seems to feel for her. He knows that he's bad for her, that the bad in his life will only taint her purity, like a drop of ink in water. Maddox doesn't know what to think about the new girl, but he does know that he thinks about her way too much. He knows that he can't sit by while she struggles, and life in Greenville is sink or swim. Aurora's been thrown into the deep-end without a life preserver and the only thing keeping her from drowning is a tattooed hand reaching out to help her.

Curing Cooper by kierralannita

To the world, Archie is untouchable-smart, driven, with a face and body that could inspire legends. Women fall at his feet, and why wouldn't they? He's the perfect picture of success, the golden boy who has it all. But beneath the surface, Archie lives by a strict rule: never fall in love. Love is chaos, a danger he's sworn to avoid. Football, though? That's his sanctuary. The game demands his focus, keeps him grounded, and, most importantly, it requires zero emotional attachment. It's his fortress, protecting him from feelings that could tear him apart. And for years, it's worked flawlessly-until now. Lori Cooper is a storm he never saw coming. The girl from his past-once fragile, tormented, and pushed to her breaking point-has returned to their hometown. She's not the weak target she used to be. Lori is fierce, stunning, and hardened by the years spent nursing old wounds. But those wounds haven't healed. Far from it. She's back with a purpose: to make Archie pay for the pain he caused her. Time, however, is slipping away-because Lori has a secret, one that's slowly killing her. But even with death on the horizon, revenge is her only focus. She's determined to see him fall, no matter what it costs her. But the past is never as simple as it seems, and when their worlds crash together, Archie and Lori discover that love, for all its risks and dangers, is far more powerful than either could have imagined. In the end, it's not just love that has the power to undo them-it's the truth. Curing Cooper. Copyright. © 2024 All rights reserved.

I lift my hand, holding my pistol to his chest, hovering over his heart. He stares at me, emotions spilling out of him. Emotions I can't decipher. He leans closer, the tip of the barrel pressing into his skin, just above his heart. "Do it," he whispers, inches from my face. I hold his gaze, while his hands snake under my shirt, grazing my skin. "I dare you," he lowers his voice, so gently, "Shoot me." My finger curls around the trigger, an inch from pulling it. I glare into his eyes, "You're a fucking monster," I whisper. He nods, "I know." "You kill without remorse," I spit. "I know." "I hate you," My finger screams at me to pull the trigger. "I know." "I'm disgusted by you." "I know," he inhales, letting his forehead rest against mine. His gaze falls to my lips, "If you want me dead, then kill me, pull the trigger." - It's no longer a question. My morals are gone, leaving nothing but a monstrous killing machine. Any hope for some sort of sympathy, some regard for life is nonexistent. I want death. I want to be the bringer of death, and the essence of slaughter. - Rhea Windsor, the newest ruler of Ovantasa after her parents- the former king and queen were assassinated. Her mind is in the pits of despair guided by vengeance, leaving nothing but a body of handcrafted slaughter and within that madness, she comes across a man made for killing.
