I pouted, and August's eyes locked on my bottom lip. "I wouldn't do that if I were you," he breathed. 

I raised my eyebrows, felt my heart pump into overdrive. "Oh?" 

"It's all I can do not to kiss you right now." 

"You want to kiss me?" 

"It'd be a start." 
________________________________________________

Este Ferryn, boxer and recently emotionally scarred teenager, rolls with the punches just as well as she doles them out.

So, when her plane goes down over a mysteriously uninhabited island and traps she and her friends out in the unknown, Este does the only thing that feels natural to her: she fights for her loved ones. The only problem? This time, she's got no idea what she's fighting against. 

Before long, survivors of the crash start to mysteriously disappear- right into thin air- and Este becomes absolutely certain of a few terrible truths: she and her friends aren't alone on the Island. And, whatever else is there? 

It's been waiting for them.

*WARNING: RATED MATURE DUE TO LANGUAGE/SEXUAL CONTENT. READERS MUST BE 17+* *CANNOT be read without reading prior novels in series* Wolfe Emerson is notorious for two things: being an absolute beast in a boxing ring and being a voluntary mute. His story remains unspoken and he prefers to live his life in silence. That is, until, his world is turned upside down when he meets someone who is louder than life. The complete opposite of him with her outspoken personality, Wolfe can't decide if this woman gets on his nerves or makes him feel things he's never felt before. The scariest part? For the first time in his life, he wants someone to know who he truly is and see him. Hear him. But will he be able to fight for her in silence, or will he finally have to speak up? Melanie "Lenny" Parks is notorious for one thing: being a total badass. At least, that's what she wants everyone to think. Her past is a deeply buried secret and she's more than happy to mask her pain behind tough scowls and cold smirks. That is, until, she meets a man who literally bulldozes into her life. This beast of a man seems to have his eyes set on her and what she's clearly hiding from the rest of the world. The kicker of it all? He doesn't speak. Yet he makes her want to fill in the unspoken blanks between them and finally show someone the real her. But does she even know who the real her is anymore, or has she been silenced for good?

"If you love me, you won't leave me." Jessie has believed those words from her boyfriend, Josh, since senior year of high school. She loves him and doesn't want to leave him. Not even when he shouts at her and hits her. Jessie's best friend, Kolleen, can't stand seeing her in that situation. With a bit of convincing - and the worst beating she'd ever received - Jessie agrees to move into an apartment with Kolleen. But not long after, Jessie is scared the worst of her nightmares will soon become a reality. Josh goes missing, and suddenly Jessie would swear she's being followed. One night changes everything, and one person soon changes Jessie's outlook. A responding officer from that fateful night begins to seek her out, at first claiming it's part of his job. As she spends time with her new friend outside of his job, she starts realizing that her feelings are evolving. After being abused for over a year, Jessie is terrified she's falling in love. What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet. She makes up her mind that if he is falling, and if he does love her, he'll wait for her to be ready, and if she loves him, she won't let herself hurt him. Can the words that used to cage her in really be the key to her freedom? --- Featured On: @NA: Take a seat and let it be | Mature Content and 18+ reading list @NA: You deserve the world | Mental Health reading list Ambys Top Picks New Adult 2023
Riley and Devin by RoseAndBone
83 parts Complete Mature
"How many romance books do you read?" Devin asks me. I shrug. "I like them," I say. I keep browsing, running my fingers along the spines. "So, you like romance then?" he asks me. I nod. "What's your favorite part of a love story?" "I like the very first kiss, but I like the second one even more," I say. I bite my lip and look at him. Oh. My. God. What the hell am I doing? Am I flirting? I think that I'm actually flirting. With Devin. Devin, my best friend. I have officially lost my mind. I should probably stop. But I can't seem to. "Will you grab me that one?" I ask. I point above my head, my back's pressed against the bookcase. He locks his gaze on mine and reaches over me to grab the book I asked for. "Thanks." I don't move and neither does he. Riley and Devin have been best friends forever-since Kindergarten. It's Senior year of high school, now. And it's always been simple, Riley's got his back, he's got hers. But as life goes on Riley can't help but wonder if maybe he's not just her best friend, if she likes him as possibly something more. As her feelings deepen and become something greater it becomes more evident that she's falling, really hard. No matter how hard Riley tries she can't stop falling, she can't stop from loving him. Even if it tears her to pieces or even if it destroys their friendship. Pretty soon Riley is going to have to choose between walking the safe line of friendship or taking the unpaved path of love. Will she risk everything for love?

Killer

18 parts Ongoing Mature

"Do you ever think about the past?" I ask softly, my voice barely audible over the hum of the city. He doesn't look at me, his jaw tightening as his hands flex at his sides. "No," he says flatly, his tone cold, unfamiliar. My heart clenches painfully. It's a lie. It has to be. Eight years ago, Isla Walsh's summer was consumed by one man-Giovanni Moretti. He was her brother's best friend, the forbidden flame she couldn't resist. They shared a fleeting, intoxicating love, and were destined to burn out too quickly. But when Giovanni vanished without a word, Isla was left alone to pick up the pieces of her heart. Now a successful ER surgeon living in Manhattan, Isla has worked hard to rebuild her life, burying the pain and confusion of Giovanni's disappearance. But everything unravels when a dangerous underground fight pulls her into the shadows of her brother's secret world. Because the man stepping into the ring is none other than Giovanni-a ghost from her past who doesn't seem to recognize her at all. In a world of lies, betrayal, and forgotten promises, Isla must decide if she's willing to risk everything for a love she can't forget-or if it's time to leave Giovanni in the past for good.
