Nightmare Neighbor by lusyadamsauthor

When Maddie first bumped into her new neighbor Alek (literally), things went south fast. Some could say it was hate at first sight. In real life, they can't stand each other. But sparks start to fly when they match on a popular dating app and spend days messaging. Maddie is determined to focus on her blossoming online romance, but the more Alek pushes her buttons, the deeper under her skin he gets. The line between hatred and attraction blurs, and Maddie has to make a decision - does she choose the safe option or fall head over heels for the hellish neighbor who isn't so bad after all? And what happens when she finds out they are the same guy?

shadow's bargain by Blackduskm1dnight

Lila Ashbourne never believed in the supernatural. Raised in a family haunted by secrets and a past stained by tragedy, she's spent years running from the shadows that plague her bloodline. But when an enigmatic package arrives, containing one of her late father's journals, Lila is drawn back to Blackwood Hollow-a place she thought she had escaped forever. In the decaying mansion where her family's curse began, she discovers that the past is far from dead. And someone-or something-has been waiting for her return. Damien Blackthorn, the infamous heir to the Blackthorn curse, is a man of shadows and sin. With a bloodline bound to an ancient and malevolent entity, Damien has spent his life seeking redemption-or at least a way to break free from the shackles of his cursed existence. He's no stranger to darkness, but when he crosses paths with Lila, he finds himself tangled in something far more dangerous than the ghosts of his past. Their families are connected by more than fate-they share a blood debt to the same powerful force that has tormented them both. As Lila unravels the truth behind her family's curse, she finds herself at the mercy of a man whose love is as destructive as it is consuming. Torn between his cold indifference and his growing obsession, Lila must decide if she can trust Damien-or if her connection to him will only pull her deeper into the shadows. In a world where loyalty is tested, secrets lurk in every corner, and love is both a curse and a blessing, Lila and Damien are forced to confront their darkest desires. Can they break free from the chains of their bloodlines before it's too late? Or will their love consume them both in a deadly bargain with the very forces that have shaped their fates?

Possibility of the Future by SCCourtney

The clock was ticking, measuring time down to the last second. The last heartbeat. The last breath. The last moment I would have on this Earth. It was a slippery slope and I knew when I saw the bottom, that was it. My time was up. When Georgiana Vertigo was given only a handful of years left to live, it was hard to see the possibilities of what the future could bring. With the past locked away in the dark recesses of her mind, Georgiana set off to live the last few years as best as she could. Quicker than any Slayer before her, she worked her way up the ranks of Sword & Arrow to become the Guild's Second in Command. When it comes time for the current Leader to step down and chose a successor, Georgiana is her would-be choice. However, before she can step into the role, she must solve the current case she is working on. A serial killer is murdering prominent members of the Otherworld community and leaving them on display in very public, very human places. It's not the first murder case she's ever worked but there is something different about this one. The simple assignment is soon made difficult when the latest intended victim survives and she's forced to protect him. A task that should be easy, even with the time constraint of solving the case in a week, but it's clear everything will become complicated when she learns who she'll be protecting and who is committing the murders.

The Silver Prince by aflowers3238

For 17-year-old Nyx Madden, stealing shadows is second nature. This rare power allows her to control the person whose shadow she holds. And, since she's been on her own for the past five years, it's her only chance at survival. But Nyx's life in the shadows is jeopardized when she is visited by Victor, the enigmatic leader of the criminal underworld. Somehow, he discovered that she is the faceless Shadow Thief, Itoria's most wanted criminal. If he reveals her identity, she'll be hanged. Victor strikes a deal with Nyx. He'll give her more gold than she knows what to do with in exchange for the shadow of Itoria's Silver Prince, thus nicknamed for his fickle nature and careless wealth. Nyx readily agrees, as this may be the last shadow she ever has to steal. And, considering the Silver Prince's rotten reputation, Itoria can only improve with him out of the way. In order to take the prince's shadow, Nyx must uncover his greatest fear and confront him with it. She infiltrates the castle, where she discovers that nothing in Itoria is as it seems, including the prince himself. Stuck under his dying father's thumb, the Silver Prince has little freedom-but his selfish, callow nature might be hiding a golden heart. With her identity hanging in the balance, Nyx finds the fate of the entire kingdom in her hands-and her own heart in the hands of the Silver Prince.

Arranged Marriage to my Mate [Completed but Editing] by soccerluv4

[Completed] Taylor Daniels. Average name, average face, average girl. What about her life? Well, that's a bit complicated. Finding out her werewolf heritage was not part of the seemingly normal life Taylor lived. She'd always been the strong but silent type, concentrating on getting good grades and pleasing her mother. But all that changes when she's merely picked up and dropped into the world of werewolves. She'll have to dust herself off and learn to live with the fact that her life was a lie. What's even more deranged is that her life is at risk. And who can possibly help her? Her so called "mate" Leo Knight. A forced marriage between the two is the only thing keeping her safe, but what happens when this little compromise turns into a whirlwind of attraction, hate, jealousy, and possible love? Can Taylor hold on to her only hope of sanity, or be whisked away in the world of werewolves, where her family, herself included, are a bunch of overgrown dogs? Taylor may seem shy on the outside, but dealing with a sarcastic, rude, arrogant mate has her standing up for herself and ultimately, facing her crazy consequences. Despite her situation, the confusing part is the possible attraction she has to Leo. And to think, it all started with two simple words..."I Do." THIS BOOK IS CURRENTLY BEING EDITED! If you are fine with reading it as is, go ahead!

THE SLOWEST BURN ~ wally clark x oc by midsummer_night22

Charley and I are crossing the basketball court to join today's meeting when the realization hits me: There aren't two open chairs for us. There's just one. Everyone looks up as we approach, including whoever is filling my usual seat. Holy shit. I turn to Charley wide-eyed. "I tried to tell you," he mutters under his breath. He then composes himself and smiles at our new member. "Kaitlyn, this is Wally. Sorry, he's not the most, uh, subtle guy, and it's a big event to meet someone new here." He's covering for me, because Charley damn well knows exactly what is going through my head, and it's not just surprise at seeing a new face. It's because it's HER. Kaitlyn Sands is here. Kaitlyn fucking Sands. The girl I've been trying so hard not to have a huge goddamn crush on. And she can finally see me.

In the Closet (boy x boy) by lI0I0Il

And, what he doesn't know yet but he's about to learn soon, Tavish can be annoying as fuck when he makes pestering you his life mission. --- Somebody's in the closet. Somebody hasn't even had the courage nor the will to step into the closet. That makes for a pretty neat love story.

Just Two Weeks by jamieleewriting

"A guy isn't going to care if you're laughing with a dude," he said. "You laugh with friends. You do this with someone who is more than friends." Wolf placed his hands on my waist, pulling me in flush with his body. He dipped his head to my ear and whispered, "See? No one that looked at us right now would think we're friends." ------------------------------- When Savannah's long term boyfriend, Tripp, breaks up with her out of the blue before their annual summer lake vacation, she's devastated. Enter Wolf. He's the son of her parents' best friends, who happen to share a connecting lake condo. Savannah hasn't seen Wolf in two years since he stopped coming on family vacations. He's notorious for trouble, the exact opposite of Savannah. Wolf shows up one day and suggests that they pretend to be in a relationship during their two week vacation. He's convinced that his mom's adoration of "good girl" Savannah will change her mind about his recent house arrest. In exchange, Wolf suggests Savannah can use their fake relationship to lure Tripp back by making him jealous. Savannah is hesitant, but is just desperate enough for Tripp's attention that she agrees. Spending time with Wolf on their pretend dates becomes a problem when Savannah begins to have feelings for him. After all, Wolf is off limits. Her best friend has a major crush on him, and Savannah is supposed to be with someone sensible like Tripp, not the lead singer of the high school rock band, Wolf and the Midnight Shepherds.
