On the day martial law is announced and put into effect, the whole city of Nova Aria is on fire. 

Lou is stuck on her way home from work. She calls Robert, her distant ex-boyfriend for help, right before a bus crashes into her car. Little does Lou know, the accident is just the beginning of a long and dangerous journey to safety. 

From being stranded, abducted, and held at gunpoint to running for her life from a battleship, Lou has never been in a situation where she is pushed to the limit  24/7 both physically and mentally. The more answers she has, the more unclear things seem. Everything Lou has ever known can evaporate in an instance when General Castillon, the Federation leader, decides to use Z, a dangerous chemical element that Robert's team developed, in the war against his political opponents. Lou is forced to work with Robert, even when she doesn't know his plan or fully trust the man. Their past relationship and unresolved feelings toward each other only muddle the situation even more.

"Ava, you have to be quiet! They'll hear you-" Tears started to spill from my eyes, blending in with the rain that dripped down my face. I shouldn't have come here. The last time I followed someone I made accidentally noise and got them killed. I had to get away from Jaxon. I turned on my heel, ready to run to, but Jaxon grabbed my wrist. "Let go" I choked, "I have to leave. You're in danger-" The next thing I knew, his lips crashed onto mine. His arms wrapped around my body, pulling tightly to his chest. "Stop it" I sobbed, unable to control my trembling. "Why are you doing this? Let me go-" "I had to get you quiet" he murmured. "Please Ava. You have to try to calm down. I understand you're scared right now, but you have to trust me. We're going to get home safely. Stay with me a few more minutes, and then we'll get the f*ck out of here. I promise." -- A little about Ava: She has made the long move from Detroit, Michigan to California to escape her gruesome past. She moves in with her older sister, and is ready to start her junior year of high school. Despite the demons she carries, she holds onto hope for a bright future. A little about Jaxon: he's 17, and Oceanview High's resident bad boy. He comes from the Marvel family, a family of cold-hearted millionaires who don't seem to care much about their kids. He's also got a secret only few know, he's a dangerous member, and street racer, for the L.A. gang: Crimson Blaze. -- Achievements: #1 in streetracing #1 in teenromance #2 im highschool #3 in drama Hey all! This is my first every full story, raw and unedited. This story will not be rushed, so updates will be about once a week. Thank you SO much for reading, I hope you enjoy!

He seemed like the devil. He was evil. Cruel. She was always portrayed as a weapon. A tool. An occasional use. One wrong turn -literally- and everything changes. What happens when she finally decides to stand up for herself? The once known 'shy' assassin is now a runaway killer. Will she be able to protect the people she loves while fighting for her title? That arrogant and dangerous man, Zion Armani, who has a past trailing to hers...They meet again. Forgiveness is a difficult concept. Two broken souls from two different sides. Many failed attempts, many murderous frenzies, and many unretrievable mistakes. Her concept of life is far-fetched compared to others, one of the many things that makes her so human and so real, even if she was taught to refuse it. Could she battle the wars in the underground world while an addicting man fought against her? A chase? Not necessarily. Will she find a reason to keep going? Will Zhara Di Maggio find something --or someone-- to believe in? Will the Golden Raven prove her fate wrong and find her own reason to live? ~~~ Zion Armani, even the darkest hide from his shadows. Zhara Di Maggio, the only brightness left. "You know how to live, you're just too scared to do it."

The Men Next Door by wildfirehoney

✅ Complete ✅ When Campbell Kramer accepted a job offer in Manhattan, she never could've imagined what the city had in store for her. Namely, two handsome men who live on either side of her new apartment. One is older, one is younger. One is introverted, one is extroverted. One is serious, one is playful. Both of them want her attention. What could go wrong? ☲☲☲☲☲ ☆Brooks☆ My neighbor was the one to close the distance between us. She did it quickly -- like she was scared the moment would pass away forever if she let another millisecond go by -- and I rested my hand on the side of her face to steady her. Something about my touch must have given her courage. ♡Campbell♡ The men finally greeted each other while I snipped the green, woody stems and plopped them into the tallest mug I owned. Their sentences were short and awkward, and as I rearranged the blooms for the umpteenth time, the realization that they'd told each other what happened hit me like a south-bound train. I don't know why I didn't expect that. They were best friends, after all. I was just their new neighbor. They had no loyalty to me, no reason to keep our time together a secret. ☆Luca☆ Her lips met mine slowly, softly, hesitantly -- like she wasn't so sure kissing her neighbor was the best idea -- and I responded just as delicately. But when her hand made its way into the back of my hair, our bodies melded together like a lust-struck alloy. And the only hope of separating us was to add more heat. ☲☲☲☲☲ Featured by: 📙 @Wattpad • Spicy Summer Reads (July 2024) • Endless Reading Mode 🧡 (Jan 2024) • Summer in the City 🥵 (June 2023) 📕 @Romance • New Adult (June 2024) 📘 @Ambassadors • Hot Encounters (Dec 2024) Awards: 🥈 Romance runner-up (The Prime Awards 2023)
