Imagine her surprise when one day, a man tailored in a thousand dollar suit, picks her up and declares her his long lost daughter. Then, not only is she being recognized by a father figure, but she also has 5 older brothers to look after her? 

While learning to adjust to the modern world, Annaliese has to go through highschool, the overprotection of her family and the dark secrets they all seem so desperate to hide. 

Join her as she struggles, laughs, cries and cringes. Join her family as they go through ups and downs and test their bonds. Join the realm of "Hearth" and find a comfort within it.

Yet, when she crosses paths with Ivan Arcane-the ruthless heir to one of the world's most powerful empires-everything changes.

Imagine Us by tttrippyangel

✅ ||| Alexandria Delavine is a shy, quiet and reserved young girl who lives a life of complacency and solitude. Her family is extremely wealthy and it seems as if she had everything at her feet. But on the eve of her beginning Senior Year, her entire life changes when both her parents die in a freak accident. She automatically inherits millions of dollars which seems to fly completely past Alexandria's mind. Whilst wallowing in her misery and trying as hard as she can to get on with her life, Alexandria unexpectedly and inconveniently meets the leader of a blood-thirsty gang notorious for being involved in the most savage of gang rivalry. Much to Alexandria's horror, it's her estranged step-brother, Caiden Martinez. He's got a killer body that will literally kill the second you step out of line, eyes that make you feel every sort of emotion imaginable at significantly heightened levels, a blood-lust look that shoots daggers into your very soul and an aura enough to send the devil running for cover. He's ready to pounce and he's got his eye on one prize and one prize only; Alexandria's newfound wealth...

The Cunning by CourtneyLHansen

She's as clever as the Devil and twice as pretty. Madison has a secret, and she wants to keep it that way. Her days are short and simple, she works her shifts at the 24-hour convenience store and goes home to feed her neighbours cat. It's peaceful, quiet. No one is any the wiser about who she is and what she's capable of. Because if they were, Jase would never have accepted the money to take her. He wouldn't have instructed his boys to follow her home and stake out her house. They wouldn't have tied her wrists and told her to accept her fate. Because if they knew who she was, they would know it meant sealing theirs. When the request for Madison was made, Jase assumed it would be like taking candy from a baby. Instead, he learned the hard way that holding her captive was the worst mistake he could make. Madison has fewer tears to cry than most and she doesn't suffer fools gladly, so when the panic stops, the game begins. Being raised by a morally grey man has taught her a thing or two about morally grey men. Jase has a secret and he wants to keep it that way- he let Madison go once before. And she won't let him forget it.

Axel by khampadd

Axel Brown was not particularly approachable. With a cold interior and a deadly stare he'd scare those who get to close away. So what was so different about Isabella June? She was everything he hated in a person. Chatty, loud, full of energy. A walking, talking ball of sunshine. The polar opposite. Well, his first mistake was falling into the traps of her. Falling so hard that he'd do just about anything to have her. His second mistake was burying himself in a void full of darkness and a life full of suffering with no way out other than the help of her. The girl who'd die for him, yet ultimately, live for him. ~~~ WARNINGS This story contains mature themes (strong language, violence, addiction, etc.) Copyright @khampadd 2022 - all rights reserved

Splintered Illusion by groovygia

BEWARE: the writing in this is from when I was younger, and is extremely cringey and cliche. I advise you not to read this because the writing in this is no longer a representation of my writing, and I think reflects very poorly on me. Instead, I'd love it if you tried out my newer book, which is in my opinion, much better than this. Just a suggestion, but either way, it's your choice. You've been warned. They strived to make their love perfect. To make their love into an illusion of what could've been perfection. But they were beaten and bruised. And so was their love.

Rose Thorns & Love Letters by booookaddict

"Your Father is my biggest enemy." He proclaims as he tilts her chin up with the hand that is not gripped around the nape of her neck. Her eyes gloss over as she looks down at the loaded gun held tightly in her trembling hands. The gun that is pressed directly over his heart. A tear escapes from her heavy eye but is quickly stolen by his thumb that wipes it away. She draws away from his touch just as quickly as he makes the contact. "But my hatred for him can wait." His head lowers and his warm breath hovers right over her ear causing goosebumps to erupt on her skin.
