Hopelessly Devoted by BriellaDiamond

"Never call a girl a bitch," I glared into his eyes as he opened them, piercing into me, the bright blue drink I had just poured over him still dripping from his dark hair. "Or she just might act like one." I gave him one last sarcastic smile before pushing by him and walking away, practically strutting. Well, this year will be fun... • • • • Crystal Summers; a self-proclaimed expert in all things sarcastic and the human embodiment of destructive decisions.

But she just so happens to also collide with the school's sexy, notorious jackass, Ashton Monroe.. and his pack of asswipes. She loathes him, and the feeling is mutual. But as the poets say, the line separating love and hate is a very thin one. And often times, when two people hate each other, it can grow into much more. Hopeless devotion, if you will... • • • • !!!TRIGGER WARNING!!! • slight mention(s) of suicidal concepts • substance abuse, addiction, anxiety, PTSD • sexual assault, domestic abuse • strong language and mature scenes • • • •

Moonlight Kisses by chxrryskiwis

"Why are you doing that!" she whisper-screams while her eyes flit to the other guys, who are now immersed in something else that isn't us. I kiss that spot again, making her whole body shiver. It's oddly entertaining to watch what my slightest movements do to her. Usually it takes a lot more for a girl to unravel this way, but her breath hitches each time I go to kiss her neck. I could only imagine what my hands could do to her body. "You still didn't answer my question," she huffs harshly. And still she hasn't pulled away from me. Had I been any stupider, I'd say Jordyn was actually enjoying herself. If she hates this so badly, why hasn't she asked me to stop? [] In August, Jordyn Reeve starts attending Crestview Prep and not long after strikes a deal with Beau Clemonte, an arrogant, rude boy who happens to be the thing that can give her what she wants: his best friend, Jake Amherst. Of course, everything worthwhile must come with a price. Despite her outright opinions, Jordyn makes a deal with the devil. Or at least that's what that's what she saw at first -- a coldhearted, stubborn asshole that cared even less than she did. Her only intention was to see this out to get the guy. However, it wasn't that simple for Beau. Cover created by: @meha-k Started October 2020 Completed January 2022

A Month to Temptation by DMitrovic04

For an introvert, life is all about balance-quiet routines, solitude, and carefully crafted excuses to avoid the chaos of other people. But nothing could prepare her for the nightmare of a mandatory month-long winter trip with every law student she knows. Trapped in a snowy mountain resort. No silence. No escape. Just endless noise, exhaustion, and forced socializing. And then there's Henry Caliver. Smartest in their class. Everyone's favorite. Brilliant. Confident. Completely untouchable. The guy every girl wants-and the one she never expected to even notice her...until one awkward encounter in the hot tub changes everything. What begins as a moment of accidental closeness turns into late-night conversations, stolen glances across crowded rooms, and a dangerous pull neither of them can resist. The mountains were supposed to be her personal hell, but temptation lurks around every corner. But what if the one person who's out of reach suddenly feels too close? What if one month is enough to break down walls she's spent years building? And what if this nightmare trip turns into the one thing she never knew she needed? One month. One impossible connection. One chance to change everything. A slow-burn, sizzling contemporary romance full of tension, longing, and unforgettable chemistry.

Not the best friend who became her first kiss... her first love... her everything. But when he moved across the world, he left her with nothing but a broken promise and a gold star necklace she still wears like a scar. She swore she'd wait. He swore they'd find each other again. But two weeks after he came back, he was holding another girl's hand. Now it's war. And Lisa's done playing soft. Noah thought leaving Lisa behind would protect them both. He didn't expect to fall apart without her. Neither did he expect to learn the truth-something so brutal it made him question every moment they'd ever shared and see her as a stranger in the skin of the girl he once loved. And he definitely didn't expect to fall into someone else's arms trying to forget the taste of her lips. But Lisa's not the shy girl he left behind. She's colder now. Hotter, too. And every time he looks at her like he hates her, he wants to grab her and make her remember everything. This isn't just a breakup. It's unfinished business. First love never dies. But it might just destroy them both.

Love and Revenge (Complete) by writersblockcentral

Annie Bloom is an average girl. She's in college, has a best friend, works, and studies. Yet one day she finds herself attacked, hospitalized, and nearly killed. Her best friend, Will, is certain it has to do with the guy she just started dating. Is Will jealous? Could her new boyfriend be involved? Or is it someone else entirely? Annie must find out quickly because every day could be her last. *** I could feel nothing but the pain. I felt every hit in excruciating detail with each erratic, painful heartbeat as my world became reduced to a series of agony. I struggled to breath through the broken ribs that constricted my airflow like a two-ton concrete slab had fallen on me. The blood from the blows to my head rolled down my face in waves. My arm was twisted at an impossible angle, yet I couldn't scream because my mouth would not open. I could feel the kicks coming at me from all directions, and as I received another one to the head I knew this was the end for me and my heartbeat slowed. The stab wound was bleeding too much for me to survive. When they left me for dead my eyes began to droop and the last thing I saw through fuzzy tunnel-like sight was a man running towards me before one final rattling breath coursed through my broken body and my heart stopped beating.

THE HOLITOPA TRESTLES by HILAHROSCOE

Georgie Lamar has a plan: graduate college, move to Nashville with her best friend Britt, and finally escape Mayland, Mississippi. Two months before college graduation, life was supposed to be uneventful. When an unexpected (and temporary) teaching opportunity arises at the prestigious Mayland Middle School, thanks to Britt's influential family, Georgie finds herself working with some quirky co-workers and special education students. The introduction to former Magnolia State quarterback and Construction Superintendent, Jasper Mabry, was never supposed to be a factor.

Moments in Shadows by Aswitha04

She has always been fiercely independent. Focused on her studies and determined to carve out her own path, she's convinced that love is a gamble she can't afford. Her past crush left her heart bruised and cautious, teaching her that vulnerability can hurt more than it heals. Life has always been about control, planning, and protecting herself. But then she sees him, confident, charming, and unmistakably magnetic. He appears almost out of nowhere, yet there's an intensity in his gaze, a quiet awareness that seems to read right through her careful walls. Through anger, hurt, and emotional distance, they learn that love isn't just about passion-it's about patience, communication, and trust. She struggles with her fear of dependence, her past heartbreak making her wary of opening up again. And he knows that winning her heart won't be easy, but he's determined to try. Can he show her that love doesn't mean losing herself? Can he prove that a heart once broken can still beat fiercely for the right person? Will they find a way to step out of the shadows together, or will fear keep them apart?

The Rude Awakening of Love by eyebrowsonfleek21

Emerson never expected to fall for her rude, brooding roommate. In fact, when she first moved in with Dakota Johnson, she couldn't stand him. He was cold, distant, and made it very clear he didn't want her there. But somewhere between the late-night arguments, stolen glances, and the walls they both tried to keep up, everything changed. What started as indifference turned into something neither of them were ready for-something raw, intense, and completely off-limits. They kept it a secret, unsure of what it meant, but secrets have a way of coming out. And Dakota has more than most. With a past that refuses to let go and a father who brings nothing but destruction, Dakota is convinced he's not the kind of man Emerson should love. But Emerson has never been the type to walk away from a fight-and Dakota is the only one worth fighting for. But love isn't always enough. And when the past comes crashing down, they'll have to decide if what they have is worth risking everything.
