Lyra, a recent college grad on a break with her narcissistic boyfriend, flees to a beach town where a steamy affair with a billionaire CEO forces her to choose between meeting others' expectations and pursuing her dreams.


Lyra's boyfriend of four years wants a break. 

What Lyra wants isn't of much importance, though. At least, not to her parents, who think her dreams are just a phase. 

Agreeing with people is much easier than trying to prove them wrong, and that's what Lyra has done for a while.

Right until the impromptu solo trip to the coastal town of Marfolk.

Right until the meeting with the dark-haired, blue-eyed Emrys.

He gets under her skın like no other man, and soon they're caught in a riptide of a forbidden, passionate romance.

Too bad it has an expiration date-the day Lyra returns home.

ʜᴇ'ꜱ ʀᴜᴛʜʟᴇꜱꜱ. ᴘᴏꜱꜱᴇꜱꜱɪᴠᴇ. ᴅᴀɴɢᴇʀᴏᴜꜱ. I shouldn't want him. I shouldn't crave the heat of his touch, the fire in his gaze, the way he consumes me with a single look. But I do. Every stolen moment, every forbidden inch of him pulls me closer- leaving me trembling, wanting more, needing more. Alessandro Romano is obsession made flesh. And I am helplessly, hopelessly his. In his arms, I am fragile and fearless. Innocent and undone. Lost and found, all at once. And as desire becomes temptation, temptation becomes craving, I realize there's no escape from the fire between us... And I don't want there to be. #2 in Vixen 🏅10/04/2023 #1 in Secrecy 🏅 02/09/2024 #1 in DaddyIssues 🏅 22/09/2025

His Gold Digger✔️ by Lizzyjasper

Grayson stared into the dark. "Do we know each other?" "No," Nadia whispered. "We don't know each other. If not for this blackout, our paths wouldn't have crossed. And when the power is restored, we'll become strangers again. Getting to know each other just seems like something to do to pass the time, not because we truly want to know each other. It's not...honest." Her explanation echoed throughout his body, vibrating through skin and bone. Honest. What did he know about that? Not much in the world he maneuvered in. He wasn't used to her brand of frankness, and so he didn't give her platitudes. Her honesty deserved more than that. "You're right," he said. "And you're wrong." In the glow of his phone, she stared at him, her lips parted, eyes wide. "When the lights come back on and we leave here, we probably won't see each other again. But in this moment, there's nothing I want more than to discover more about Nadia with the gorgeous mouth and unholy curves."

LOVE OF THE WALLFLOWER by rky_shaz

A whirlwind of stolen moments and unspoken promises tied them together forever, forcing them into a life they never imagined. Now, years later, tragedy has left their bond fractured and their hearts in pieces. When an unexpected encounter brings them face to face again, old emotions resurface-but so do the secrets that tore them apart. Some scars never fade, and some stories are far from over.

Enemies by authorvioletbloom

So forbidden it's borderline illegal. It feels illegal in a town like this. It was just sex. Ridiculous, I hate you sex with the one guy in school I had no business being with. But the line between love and hate blurs easily. And in a town like this, where secrets are hard to keep, we're playing with fire. Quitting him doesn't work, especially when he wants me even worse than I want him. Despite how much he hates me, despite that we were destined to hate each other. The only sure way to keep a secret is to be the only one who knows it. But this secret already involves two. And it's bound to get out and wreak havoc on my life and my plans for escape. The only questions that will remain are- was he worth it and will we survive the fall out?

Bully stepbrother by shesdreamingiamshe

BOOK 1 in the Drowning/Bully Standalone Series. WARNING: This book contains intense bullying, explicit scenes, triggering language, violence, and psychological content. I told Caden to cancel his stupid party. He told me, with that infuriating smirk, "Why? Planning to be my snack tonight?" Caden has made my life hell for four years, ever since our parents got married. He's gorgeous, arrogant, and the kind of boy Stanford girls trip over themselves for. Me? I'm the only one who sees right through him. He's a blatant bully, the devil who turned me into a surreptitious one. And now we're stuck sharing the same off-campus apartment for our entire freshman year. Living together means new rules, no boundaries... and a tension I never expected. The closer we get, the harder it becomes to remember why we ever hated each other in the first place- and nothing threatens our pride more than that. *** Step into an adventure of passion, forgiveness, and second chances. This is Caden and Madison's story.
