Shepherd is incorrigible. 

He lies to his parents, sells drugs to his classmates, and is leading on his cousin, Elise, who has an unrequited crush on him.

He's a manipulator and takes pleasure in every bit of it.

But when his deceptions are unearthed, he's shunned at school and ousted by his parents. He has no idea who betrayed him, and this uncertainty fuels his paranoia and ignites a sordid affair with Elise, his only ally. Retribution becomes an obsession. And as he tracks down the person who stabbed him in the back, his feelings for her deepen. 

Conversely, Elise begins questioning her loyalty to Shepherd, his reckless behaviour taking a toll on their bond. The unforgivable occurs, and both must decide whether to stick with their toxic patterns or change for the betterment of their relationship... of course, only if their family doesn't find out that they're sleeping together.All Rights Reserved

BLACKBiiRDS by kenn12

"I call this one pain. And this lil one right here under his wing is suffering." "No offense, but...who the hell would wanna be reminded of pain and Suffering? If I was going to get something etched into my skin forever, I'd want something that would bring me joy." His grin bemused her. As if he expected her to contradict his moral logic. "True that, shorty. And I agree, no doubt. But who's to say my birds don't bring me joy?" Dumbfounded, Jett lifted her eyes from the silhouetted birds up to meet his tender gaze, stumped on how to answer his question. She shrugged with one arm, "Do they?" * * * Jett Jaletta has enough of her own problems. Unreliable family members that depend on her for everything, too many bills with not enough income. And a federal probation sentence that's held her hostage for the past three years. The last thing she needs is the drama that comes along with a handsome face, drama that could jeopardize everything she's working for - a liberating dance career. But Roman Carter isn't liable for the damage caused by his blessed good genes. As a matter of fact, his alluring appearance and its effect on the opposite sex is the furthest on his list of priorities. The recent murder of his only brother has left him unfocused, indignant, and irrevocably heartbroken. Well, he is focused on one thing...retribution. BlackBiirds is the intertwining story of two characters-who's deepest pains and struggles happen to be caused by the other person. Ironically, surrounding situations, dangerous rivals, and even their own family members cause these two to become tangled in ways they can't escape from. * * * BLACKBiiRDS is the rewritten, reworked 2.0 version of its former draft: Souled Out.

A Lord and Lace (Regency au! Prince Arthur x oc) by kfacecookie

A wayward regency au one shot I wrote for fun, and because the concept wouldn't stop haunting my mind. ~ Trying to get back up after his ex-fiancé left him, Lord Arthur Pendragon relents to his friends and families idea of hosting a party in his family's estate. Although holding up hope for a new love that evening, he could not predict falling head over heel for a woman with haunted eyes, who secretly hides a crooked and wicked grin and a spark of intrigue unlike any he's glimpses before. After catching the sight of that side of her, and the way her families mistreatment severely dampens it, he finds himself sure of one thing. He's going to get her out their grasp, but doing so might be more tricky then first expected. Miss Harriet Frodesdotter is stuck in a hell of constantly being forced into a uncomfortable, lace covered, dress, into unbearably loud ballrooms, and dealing with condescending suitors that her controlling sister manages to steer towards her. The sudden approach by a Lord Pendragon does make her pause however, his sweet and concerned eyes appearing to be almost horrifyingly sincere as he offers to help her with her family issues. She doesn't trust him, he's not the first to claim to be her savour for purely selfish reasons, but something tells her that there's something more to him, and not in a bad way. ~ Content warning for ableism, family issues (including abuse, I don't perceive it as especially graphic, but it's there) and depictions of meltdowns.

Tempted Heart | Our Heart's 1 by Fayehasf

Lena Rose has always been the perfect daughter. Sharp, graceful, obedient-raised in a world where expectations are everything and emotions are a luxury she can't afford. But beneath the surface of flawless grades and carefully arranged smiles, Lena is unraveling. Torn between who she is and who she's supposed to be, she finds herself caught in a quiet war - between the boy her heart can't forget and the future her family demands. Evander Gray is the boy with a past no one dares to ask about-quiet eyes that see too much, hands that carry more grief than they should, and a heart he's learned to hide behind half-smiles and guarded silences. The boy everybody wants but knows nothing about the real him-of the life he's lived. He never meant to fall for her. Not her-not the girl who was just supposed to be his tutor. But some connections don't ask for permission. Some hearts break quietly. Others burn their way back to life. She finds herself trapped in lies, hate, desire, and trapped in a life that doesn't feel like hers. But the past has a way of returning. As truths unravel - about her family, her future, and the boy she once knew - Lena must choose between duty and desire, between the life she was given and the one she wants to claim. Can you really let go of the person who taught you how to breathe? "You're so beautiful, I don't think I'll ever get over you." Idea: December 16th 2023 Started: January 3th 2025 Finished: September 28th 2025 Published: October 1st 2025 Book 1 of Our Heart's Series.

Beneath the Ashes by jennsbestreads

Harper Carson is 19. Guarded, smart, and quietly kind. She has more scars than she lets anyone see-some from fists, some from silence, and some from things she still can't say out loud. After surviving years in an abusive home, she's finally moved out. Alone, bruised, but breathing. Trying to build a new life from nothing. She doesn't have friends. She doesn't want attention. She just wants peace. Then there's Elliot Blackford. Now 23. Cold. Sharp. Distant. He was once her best friend-before everything fell apart. Now he's something else entirely. And whatever he's become... he's hiding something dangerous. They're not the same people they were. What was once love is now buried under anger, betrayal, and silence. But something still ties them together-something neither of them are ready to face. And Harper? She's done pretending she's fine. She's ready to burn everything down... or rise from it. Beneath the Ashes is a slow-burn, friends-to-enemies-to-lovers romance filled with trauma, tension, secrets, found family, and the long, painful road to healing. ⸻ Trigger Warnings: This story contains mature and potentially triggering content, including: - Sexual, emotional, and physical abuse - PTSD and trauma - Depression and substance abuse - Mentions of sexual assault - Strong language - Sexual content
