Ever since her parents got divorced, Sarah maintained a good girl persona to please her high expectant father. She kept up the facade so well and for so long she never got the chance to find out who she really was.

Trouble by MelanieSargsian

• Friends to enemies to lovers • Dark themes and gothic vibes • Situations some readers might find offensive • Spicy romance with dark elements *** Never did I expect to find Trouble in New York (oh, the irony of it). But BANG and Trouble aka Connor Black, otherwise known as my childhood best friend, who I had a huge crush on once upon a time, is back in my life. Everyone says he's dark, dangerous, and a total bully. Which sounds nothing like the kid that loved watching me dance ballet in my ridiculously pink tutu dress. We left each other with broken hearts and unfulfilled promises, and now he's back in my life, threatening to destroy me. Hahaha... You know what's funnier than him claiming he wants to ruin me? Me knowing he can, and still loving EVERY second of it. He doesn't give me answers, promises, or hope...he doesn't give me anything, but when he looks at me with those green eyes of his, I know I can really make him fall in love with me. The question is, can I destroy his walls before he destroys me? 🏆Latest Achievement #1 in LoveHate #1 in BadBoyGoodGirl #1 in BFFLove #6 in BadBoyInLove

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'.

Are you mine? by EmmJayWriting

We've all heard about 'the main character'. The type of person who lives through the most dramatic and improbable situations, and finds the kind of epic romance you only see in works of fiction. Which makes you think about how unrealistic love like that is. I used to think the same thing until I met him. Until I met 'the bad boy' that, as it turns out, wasn't that bad at all, just simply...a boy. A boy with an easy smile, a charming personality and looks so enticing that I couldn't keep my eyes off of him if I tried. A boy whose shoulders were starting to slump with the weight of his past and his family. A boy who believed that the only way to survive was by putting a lock on his heart and chaining it down to a place so deep inside of him that no one could ever reach it again. A boy who, for reasons I'll never comprehend, placed the key inside my palm and didn't shy away when I tried to free his hidden heart from its restraints. A boy who made me the main character of my own story. A story I never want to forget, and which begged to be put on paper. This is that story. ~~~ #1 love triangle 8/26/2019 #1 teen romance 11/4/2019 #1 mystory 7/27/2020 #1 teen drama 9/9/2020 #1 goodgirl 9/12/2020 Cover by @alexandramar1e Contains swearing and mature language.

Stuck | 18+ by whyyoucarebitch

Warning: DARK ROMANCE Story contains detailed mature scenes possessing dubious consent not recommended for age group below 18 years old. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! Prologue Shadows engulfed his angelic features oozing devilish intentions. It wasn't until he took a step towards her did the gravity of situation descended upon and even then she couldn't do anything but shake in fear. She knew making a run for it won't do a thing, calling was not an option and if she screamed...she opened her mouth to shrill but a meek plea came out. Her body's lack of response terrified her, tears gathered in her orbs with horrible anticipation. With his each step nearer she gripped the frame of her window tighter hoping to keep her balance. It took him three steps to be inches away from her body. He slowly took his suit jacket off, making himself comfortable as he amusingly watched her shaken face. She was so horror-stricken to even look at his face. She gulped as his hand cupped her neck in a gentle grip, guiding her eyes to his. His eyes slipped from the hold of her eyes to her lips in a second. She grew self conscious all over again. His heated gaze on her lips was unwavering. In the moment of bewilderment and growing self awareness her tongue unconsciously wiped her lips wet and it was all it took for him to descent on her lips. Description Had it been upto him he'd have broken her down to pieces and never put her togather, instead, he let her build herself, he watched her collapse and stand, die and live, float and drown all the while playing her body like a putty in his hand. Her husband had never been gentle, his ways was one of his kind. He read her like a book and used her spells against her. She was vividly aware of what she was getting herself into but nothing could prepare her for the don who brought everyone on his feet and she was no exception. How would she survive his ways or even would she?

She was so shocked to know that girls were going crazy over this punk-ass bad boy who was a member of a boy band that was all kinds of evil. As a Godly girl, she thought these kinds of boys needed saving. And that girls needed to just keep their legs closed at all times because boys like Easton could take them to hell with him. She knew the best thing to do was to gift him a Bible and a crucifix before it was too late. So this was what she did and many other things. But this soon got crazy when Easton's gothic parents found out about her doings.

To come to a truce, Kendra was to attend Easton's events and be his tutor and friend. Well, these kinds of things were not what Kendra wanted. But to not get reported for harassment, she had no other choice but to accept these dangerous moves... Then something unexpected happened causing a weird romance to bloom between them. A boy like him and a girl like her didn't make the perfect love story. It was just a matter of time before she lost what she ever fought for.

Sins of Aiden by -honeycream-

"You know I'll find out who did that to you. And they better wish for a headstart." I snap my gaze up. His voice turned awry in my ears at the menacing promise. I stare at him, blinking.

The Billionaire's Final Victim | ✓ by NamjoonBieber

"I hope you realize you made the worst f**king decision of your life." She could feel his cold icy blue eyes piercing through her soul. "I didn't ask for this..." tears threatened to fall from her eyes, her lips quivering in fear. His grip on both her wrists become tighter as he slams them hard against the wall, trapping her petite body in-between the wall and his body, "You'll never have a place in my life, let alone my heart, do you understand?" She winces from the pain from her wrists. He slams her arms against the wall again. He leans in close enough to the point where their lips are only inches apart, "I said, do you f**king understand, foolish girl?" His voice rises as he clenches his jaw in an impatient manner. She nods in hopes that he'll let go. And just like that, he lets go of her as she falls to the floor in utter defeat. What have I done... she asks herself. **Full Summary Inside** Cover by: Me, Myself, and I!

When It All Falls Down by AuggiePooh_

He smirks, "You've finally cracked." I furrow my eyebrows, "You were baiting me? Jerk, just turn off your music!" "Or what?" He asks teasingly. "Or..or I'll tell the front office!" He shrugs, "Go ahead, you're the only one complaining." I glare at him, "Ooh you are so!" He looks at me amusingly, "So what?" "So!" He brings his face closer to mine, "Say what you want to say." His voice was low as he stared into my eyes. I was suddenly mute, completely drawn into those warm brown eyes. I don't know why I did, but I leaned into him. Our lips finally colliding. His arms pull my body closer to his as he kisses me hungrily. - It all started with a stupid dare. 21-year old transfer student Amina Bassey always had a plan.

But all that changed the second she met Dominic Taylor, the most insufferable, impatient, and rudest man she had ever met. She hates him with all her guts, but at the same time can't get enough of him after a game of truth or dare leads the pair into a complicated relationship.

"What are you doing?" He glances up at me through his glasses, his bored tone sending a jolt through me as I sit on his lap. I know he's a god at this 'poker face' game, but he needs to realise that his body always tells a different story-like how hard he's gripping my thigh right now and how hard he is beneath me. Yet, I can't ignore the power he exudes. There's this strange, dominating energy about him that makes me feel small as if I am a rat being cowered back into a hole. And for Reina Gavril to feel that way? I hate it. I hate him. 𓂃 ᥫ᭡ 𝗥𝗘𝗜𝗡𝗔 𝗚𝗔𝗩𝗥𝗜𝗟, the queen bee of Schola Stellae, has it all-flawless looks, charisma, top grades, and a touch of mischief that gets her whatever she wants. She thrives in the spotlight, playing and pulling strings with ease. Yet beneath that confident exterior is a heart; after all, queen bees rule for a reason, they know when to sting and when to play nice. That is until the quiet, nerdy Reign Augustus rejects one of her rivals, prompting her friends to challenge her into making him hers. 𝗥𝗘𝗜𝗚𝗡 𝗔𝗨𝗚𝗨𝗦𝗧𝗨𝗦, however isn't your typical 'good boy.' He's a quiet, aloof presence yes, but also with a lethal charm and a mind nobody can quite read. He thrives in his solitude, refusing to take anyone's shit-because being good doesn't mean being weak, timid, or a pushover. To sum it up, bad girl with a soft side meets a good boy with a dark twist. And as she sets out on her mission, their opposing worlds clash, creating inevitable rivalry, tensions, heartbreaks and some wildly UNHOLY lessons that might make them go back and forth. | 𝒔𝒍𝒐𝒘 𝒃𝒖𝒓𝒏❕❕I might also make it too poetic sometimes !! | Contains sexual scenes and profanities.
