Lose Control (The Jewel Project #5) by Wimbug

"It's never going to end, is it? The rivalry, the hatred, the madness. Not even now. Not even after so many years." It has been three years since the last jewel was recovered, and the Agency seems to have put the project to rest. They have a new target to bring down: Snitch Gravel. And what better way is there to do it than send out the people he is so desperately trying to kill? Years or training are showing and Sam and his team are more proficient then ever. Their goal is to find where Snitch Gravel is hiding and help the Agency end his reign once and for all. But their goal is not easy, not when their normal lives are so much harder to handle. Jobs, relationships and living on their own are taking their toll. And when the teams falls in on itself from the inside, everything goes out control. The potential of a new jewel brings everyone back together, but the team is not what it once was. With Snitch Gravel not attempting to race them to the jewel, the mystery shrouding the Agency becomes thicker. Everything else comes out into the light. And sometimes, the truth is not pretty. Sometimes, the truth cuts to the core. Sometimes, the truth can kill. ♠️ Sequel to Freeze. Completed. Epic cover by @italychick

F.A.I.T.H. by JoPRBooks

"I was broken. Nothing, no one could fix me. Until you came into my life again. I wish I had gone with you that day instead of him. Because, now I can't imagine how I spent the previous years of my life without you by my side. You are my savior. You showed me that its okay to be broken and you showed me that I wasn't alone. You were with me. i love you for that. But I hate that I love you. I was never good with love. I'm scared that one day I'll wake up without you by my side. One day you will realize that you are better off without me and I don't want that day to come. Not now, not ever. I love you too much to let you go. I finally have a place in this world and that is next to you. You once said, 'Our mistakes compliment each other.' Truer words than these were never said before. We are both broken and incomplete but together, we're whole and we're fixed. We might be too bad for the others, but we are good for each other. They say all good things come to an end, but I'm bad and so are you. Together, we are horrible. But that just means that we're inevitable. You are mine and I promise to forever be yours."

Follow the point of view of a self proclaimed "nice guy" who manipulates his best friend into "falling in love" with him.

We're Just Friends [BOOK 1 Of The 'We're Just' Trilogy]] by Riane_Pereira

They say all good boys go to heaven, but bad boys bring heaven to you. And that's what he brought me, Heaven. We were terribly perfect for each other. We'd argue, we'd scream- hell we'd throw things at each other. But at the end of the night we'd lay beside each other. What started off as a silly deal to get us both going ended up as so much more than i could've ever imagined... He was the worst best thing that happened to me, but our dark pasts ruined us. We took dying for each other a little too literal. "You say we're just friends but i swear, when nobody's around..." Started: April 4th 2018 Ended: July 23rd 2020 WARNING: Contains mature scenes, Strong abusive language. Mentions of rape, sex, murder, alcohol and violence. READ AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION. BOOK WILL GO UNDER A ROUND OF REVISION AFTER ITS FULLY PUBLISHED TO MAKE SURE READING IS A SMOOTH SAIL FOR EVERYONE. I'm also sorry for any stones i've left unturned in the book!!! I'll be working on fixing them asap. Until then I'm extremely sorry for any mistakes. ANY SIMILARITIES IN REGARDS TO NAMES, LOCATIONS AND SCENES IN OTHER BOOKS IS PURE COINCIDENCE! Thank you!
