Shattered & Yours by Crystal720002

Violet Hayes never expected her senior year to start with loss. Losing her mother to cancer was heartbreaking, but being sent away to London by a father who couldn't bear to look at her? That was something else entirely. Thrown into the home of her father's best friend, she finds herself living with the Montgomery brothers-Theo, the easygoing and protective one, and Mason, the arrogant, brooding, gorgeous one who makes it painfully clear that he wants nothing to do with her. Mason Montgomery has everything-looks, money, power. But beneath the smirks and confidence, he's spent years battling demons he refuses to name. When Violet walks into his life, soft-spoken yet undeniably strong, she's just another rich American girl-or so he thinks. He's determined to push her away, but she sees right through him. And the more he tries to fight it, the more he finds himself breaking all his own rules. What starts as heated arguments and endless teasing quickly turns into something neither of them can ignore. But just as Violet begins to feel like she belongs somewhere, Mason's world unravels-his mother's dark past comes back to haunt him, his rage spirals out of control, and the walls he built so high start to crumble. When a dangerous encounter at a party pushes them to their true breaking point, Mason is forced to face what he's known all along-Violet isn't just another girl. She's the one person who sees him. And he'll do anything to keep her safe, even if it means fighting against everything he's ever believed. Love was never supposed to be in the equation. But sometimes, the people who are the most broken are the ones worth fighting for the most.

Lilah by AshlynPope

She's a wild, free spirit who sees the good in everyone, and he's the hardened, bad-tempered loner who wants nothing to do with her-yet no matter how hard he tries to push her away, she's the one temptation he can't escape. *** He's never met someone with such a bubbly personality. Not to mention the wildness and odd phrases she says every five minutes. He hates it. He hates how he can't stay away from it. He hates what she does to him; it's not like him to chase after some girl. She gets under his skin like no other. She's never met someone with such a bad attitude. He's ill-mannered and menacing. The glare never seems to leave his face. Considering it all, she can't help but feel the attraction toward him. Dangerous attraction toward a seemingly dangerous man. Maybe it's the tattoos on his arm that gets her attention. Or maybe it's because she can tell there's hope for good under his rough exterior. And she's about to find it, whether he likes it or not. It's no secret that the two of them are complete and total opposites. *** "You like being called Sugar, don't you?" I tease, placing my toothbrush back after finishing. He does the same and gives me a side-eyed scowl. He grips my chin harshly and kisses me. My body temperature raises a good ten degrees and my right leg goes all wiggly. He pulls away. "You like it when I kiss you, don't you?" He teases the same way I did to him and I'm left blubbering. "I think both of our questions are rhetorical," I lower my voice up at him. His lip curls up into a smirk. *** #1 in Young Adult #9 in Badboy #1 in Cold #3 in Goodgirl #1 in Sweetheart #14 in Love *** *Warning* This story contains mature themes (language, scenes)

Before She Even Knows by TeaInTheGarden02

''There is only one thing crossing my mind right now. If he hates me so much, then why the hell is he kissing me back?'' ----------------------- Emma White has always been kind of a loner. Her mother died giving birth to her and her father never really cared, always working in his successful company. That's why she decides to go to a college away from home, something she's been dreaming of since she can remember. However, what happens when at her very first day on campus, she crosses path with Noah Allen? He is rich, popular, cold, rude and a player just to start with. No surprise she calls him Mr. Grumpy. What is driving her insane though is that he's only too cold when it comes to her. After some not so pleasant moments and lots of glares, she tells herself that the best is to stay away from him, but it won't be that easy. After a disastrous kiss and hidden jealousy, she finds herself deeply involved into what is this frustrating boy. Add to that the fact that he is her roommates' childhood best friend and you can see drama from miles away. Noah claims to hate her ever since they met, and he doesn't mean her first day of college. He remembers her just fine from a couple of years ago and all the feelings are back. He knows she doesn't remember him and he'll use this as his leverage to do what he has to do. It's what he promised his father and himself, even if it means he has to pretend to care for her. All he cares is his family business. At least it's what he tells himself, until the feelings start getting too mixed and he ends up thinking of her more than he should. Maybe it's not all about business after all. He knows their history started before she even knows, what he didn't expect was for her to be so different from what he has always believed.
