Eyes Wide Open by sup3r_n0va_

"I thought about running away, setting off to see the world before I couldn't see anything at all. I had never been out of the country. I wanted to go to the top of the Eiffel Tower, see the castles in Prague, ride a gondola in Venice. I wanted to do something crazy and fall in love and have my heart broken and then do it all over again. But then the bell rang, and I just got up and walked to my next class." ~*~ Blake Summers was always the poster child for good girl perfection: she had straight As, never got into trouble, and followed rules to a fault. But before the start of her senior year of high school, Blake receives life-changing news: she's going blind. Her diagnosis forces Blake to confront the fact that she's tired of playing it safe. She wants to truly see the world, take risks, and be anything but predictable before her vision fades completely. Enter Dash Wolfe, Blake's classmate: his reputation as a rebellious troublemaker precedes him everywhere he goes. As Dash becomes interested in Blake, she finds herself intoxicated by his fearlessness. Will Blake succumb to Dash's temptation, ruining her good girl reputation? Will she find the adventure she's been looking for before her sight is gone? Or will their reckless choices lead to disaster?

Chasing Charming ✔️ by bearjordan

Complete! "You know I really like you, right?" He was definitely drunk. "You do?" I asked. My voice was supposed to be teasing, but I think it came off as a bit startled. He laughed, "Yeah, why else would I trust you with all my secrets?" -- Betty was many things; a romantic, a fashion designer, a bit more jealous than the average girl, great with a camera, a helpful daughter and a good friend. But she was best known for being nice. And usually, the boy did not want the 'nice' girl. But this summer she was going to prove to Mike, her crush since FOREVER, that nice was enough. She was going to have an amazing summer, a perfect Junior year, and finally have her first kiss. It was a foolproof plan. Moving from her childhood home in Arizona to New Mexico at the start of Junior year was never a part of Betty's plan. But sometimes when parents are involved, plans change. So now the nice girl had to start over at a new school in a new State. And when the (maybe not so bad) bad boy, Eli, gets involved, it might be hard to be known as 'the nice girl'.

Taming the Street Racer ✔️ by koolkenz

He tips my head toward his with his index finger, keeping my eyes trained on him and driving me crazy with the primal look on his face. His grey eyes look heavy, filled with dark desire, and a shock runs up through my core. Everything around us disappears and all I can sense is him and the hardness pressing between my legs. "What are you doing to me, River?" he whispers, his voice raspy and utterly captivated. His face is lowering and I'm closing my eyes, waiting for soft lips to press against mine. My whole body is on fire as I hold my breath for his touch. ♔ Everyone in River Avelle's hometown knows about Grayson Maddox - the troubled badboy who almost killed another student in the middle of the school hallway. Those who look into Grayson's eyes only see pure fury and hatred. They all think he's beyond redemption, even Grayson himself. But not River. As the seemingly perfect good girl, River saw something more in those alluring grey eyes. Something worth holding onto. From the first time their eyes connect, both Grayson and River feel the intense, undeniable attraction between them...but neither of them understand what's pulling them together so fiercely. The closer they get and the more vulnerable they become, River has to wonder: is she saving Grayson from his darkness? Or is she just pulling him further into hers? ♔ cover by : @strayinspace
