The reasons and means behind Zahra Lyons' entrance into the Love Island Villa on Mallorca are not exactly orthodox. Her friends and family set her up, and by a twist of fate she becomes one of the chosen few single islanders looking to find fun, love, or whatever else a person would come here for. Her dignity can't handle that she is doing this; her pride won't let her leave.

But as much as she lies to her fellow islanders about why she's here, Zahra lies to herself about why she stays. The first few days on the island seem absolutely futile, but new islander Lucas Koh's delayed arrival catches her interest, and her promise to come doesn't seem so terrible anymore.

As Zahra and Lucas dance along a dangerous line of flirtation, Zahra has no choice but to be honest with herself: her arrival may not have exactly been her choice, but how and when she leaves-- and everything that transpires in between-- is her decision to make. It all depends on what lies or truths she admits next.All Rights Reserved

It Could Only be You by BoopiestHearts

| Watty 2022 Shortlist | This is Daphs story; an MC worthy of the title, flitting between love and lust on her journey through Love Island as tries to find the one she wants to spend the rest of her life with. Some people struggle finding one person they want to be with, Daphs struggles to pick just one. An angsty rewrite of Season 2 with additional challenges and games, stretching out the summer for two months of sun, sex, and some petty behaviour. Stick with Daphs as she grows from her week one villain, making it all the way to the final, sometimes by the skin of her teeth, to become the best version of herself. Explicit content warning; a very, very bad Lucas warning; a slow, slow burn Bobby fic. Enjoy!

Whiskey and Scotch by longbobmckenzie

Going on a reality TV show wasn't how Josie expected to spend her summer - she wasn't looking for fame, and certainly didn't expect to find love. But now that she's on Love Island, surrounded by hot single men, she figures she may as well enjoy herself. But what happens when things don't go as planned, and events start spiralling out of her control? Will her mistakes catch up to her, or will she make it through unscathed? And will she end up finding love, or only heartbreak? ** Cover art by @smaiihands on tumblr (commissioned) **

Something More by StarryNight1983

A pact is made. An alliance formed. Instant besties. You don't expect to go on a reality dating show to find a best friend. For Kiera and Bobby, that's exactly what happens. Bobby's here for a summer of fun. He knows it's slim, but he really wants to win the money. Kiera's hoping for lots of steamy bits with the Villa hotties. Things aren't always as they seem. One of them isn't being honest about their feelings, putting their entire friendship in danger. Days of torture ensues as these feelings grow stronger and stronger. Is it even possible though? Could they ever move past friends and have something more? COMPLETED BOOK!!! This is a standalone book! It has no association to my other Love Island series. I just couldn't give up Bobby McKenzie yet!! I started writing this story after I finished book one of my Love Island series, My Sweets. (My Sweets, Tears of our Ruins, Searching for Myself). I've been working on this off and on these last few years when I needed breaks from my other stories. I never intended to share it, but I love how it turned out. This Bobby McKenzie is different from my last one. This story focuses more on his insecurities. It was fun to explore the friendship aspect of this, instead of fast lovers like my other one. This book follows the main concept of season 2 of the Love Island app game. Operation Nope. Casa Amore. Judge Bobby. The kissing scandal. It's different though. Most of the challenges are completely different games. A sexy new character will be introduced to stir up the Villa. Plus, prom is cancelled!! I hope you enjoy this familiar story that's just different enough to add more interest.

With his gorgeous face and sexy Irish lilt, he made my heart pound in a way I'd never experienced before, and I knew I'd never be the same again. Justin: Being signed to a top English club had been my goal since, well, birth. But the move required leaving Ireland behind to start a new life in Liverpool... which would be simple if I didn't have to move my parents and younger brother, Brandon, with me. We'd found him a place in a top special needs school, and I was looking forward to visiting with the rest of the team to check the place out. Of all the things I expected to find there, it definitely wasn't her. All gorgeous smile and mesmerising eyes that made my heart race as if I'd just ran twenty lengths of the pitch.

Ravaged souls by ciaramirza

Two souls. One misunderstanding. "Leave me Walid I- " he cut me off like always. "Shut up Zahra, how dare you have the courage to lie straight to my face even after I saw you with my business partner?" His venomous tone sent chills down to every bone in my body. "Yes but- " I tried to defend myself but he gripped my wrists harder. "Zahra you know better than anyone that I don't do well with those who try to take advantage of my possessions." Those brown orbs stared down cold at me, cementing the fact that he meant every word he spoke. Tears swelled up my eyes as I looked disbelievingly at him. "Possession? When was I ever truly yours, Walid?" ***** He : who touched my soul; who believed me when no one did; who held my hand in the darkest of days..
