In Harmstead Bay, secrets are currency, and fake smiles hide real betrayals. This elite seaside town is ruled by wealth and power, where you're either somebody or work for somebody. The rich kids burn through money like oxygen, never knowing what it means to struggle. A year ago, fourteen friends set sail. Only four returned. Their story was airtight: a fire, a sinking boat, ten lives lost to the ocean. They moved on, distanced themselves, and buried the past. But when one of the "dead" washes up in California, alive, with no memory of what happened the cracks in their perfect lie begin to show. Now, the four survivors must come together and rewrite the past before the truth destroys them. Because in a town built on money, power, and privilege, even murder can be bought and buried... but not forever.

Now, at a friend's wedding, her past collides with the present when she sees Ethan Hayes again... and he sees her daughter. A daughter with his eyes. Ethan wants answers. Charlotte wants to protect the life she's built. But the truth won't stay buried-and as Ethan discovers the child he never knew he had, both must confront old wounds, shattered trust, and the fragile hope of starting over.

The Woods | Harvey #1 by slybatspidow

Nicole and her family love to vacation in Harvey, a small beachside town. However, it's a town of secrets, and Nicole is invested. She loves a good mystery and can't help herself from getting wrapped up in the town's biggest one: Ashton. As the son of the town's sheriff, Ashton is expected to follow in his father's footsteps. But what do you do when you don't agree with how things are run? For him, the answer is to live in the woods and take all his secrets with him. Naturally, this sparks rumors and means he's the main suspect when a little girl is found dead on the shore. The police want nothing more than to see him be charged for murder. Nicole doesn't believe it for a moment, though. She's fallen hard for the mysterious nature of the gentle creature in the woods, and nothing can convince her that he's to blame for anything going on in the town. However, nothing is ever as simple as it seems... Word Count: 51,025

We are Weapons by Khentriniy

In the misty town of Westeria Valley, the past still lingers-unseen, but never silent. Laughter echoes from the woods, shadows flicker without light, and something ancient waits just beyond the trees. When a group of children begin to uncover strange clues buried beneath their quiet town, they're pulled into a game they never agreed to play. With each step, the line between reality and nightmare fades. Can they uncover the truth before the valley's secrets consume them-or are they only pawns in something far more sinister? What is it that they face? A presence far older than the trees or someone vengeful enough to make the world turn upsidedown or maybe, all of this is just a sick joke for a controversial story? Why don't you find out yourself?

Guilty Love by NightTime_Storiexs

Four years. Four years ago, he left her. And now he's back, showing up at her bookstore, asking for a second chance. Oh, and for his book to be sold. Runville is a small town in North Carolina. A small town where smiles are made and hearts break. A small town where London and Ronan were each other's whole world. From growing up hating each other to falling in love only to break their hearts and wound up hating each other. It came down to career against family, love against self-love, and choosing who you love against yourself. And Ronan chose himself. And London chose her family. And it tore them apart. Now, four years later, he's done with college, made a name for himself, and is back in Runville. History always repeats itself. What goes around comes around. And where you start is where you end. Can Ronan win her back? They were pieces that fit perfectly together. Only they didn't belong to the same puzzle. . . . ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

The Puzzle Of Ocean Lilies by ssolalily

Wealthy, well-loved, and safe within the walls of her seemingly perfect family, she never questioned what lay beneath the surface. Her world was peaceful, untouched. Or so she thought. But peace is just the surface of the ocean. And the deeper you go, the darker it gets. Everything changed in one snapped, it started as a simple favor unraveled into a web of secrets too deep to escape. One step led to another, and suddenly she was drowning in questions no one dared answer. Whispers of murder, lies hidden in her family's business. She thought her life was hers. Now, it feels like a puzzle she was never meant to see. Each secret she uncovers is another wave crashing down. Each truth is a sharp piece of a puzzle she must complete before it's too late. And yet, even in the depths of betrayal, something pure survives-a fragile love, a quiet strength, a glimmer of who she once was. Like lilies blooming beneath the waves, beauty and innocence fight to stay alive. But can she survive the truth? Can she piece the puzzle together before it breaks her? Or will she drown in the ocean of secrets her life has always hidden?
