Meet Eden Claire Whitmore.
The town's golden girl. A preacher's daughter. Raised on scripture, small-town manners, and a future that never once included breaking the rules - until him.
And then there's Knox Maddox Rivera.
He's everything she's been warned about - trouble in a leather jacket, tattoos that tell stories no one dares to ask about, and eyes that see straight through her halo.
One summer.
One mistake.
One boy she was never supposed to love.

Ruined by You
He was all smoke, ink, and danger. I was the girl who swore she'd never fall again. College was supposed to be Emery Blake's clean slate. A place to disappear into books, avoid messy relationships, and forget the boy who broke her heart back home. She had rules: don't get attached, don't get involved, and never, ever fall for the kind of guy who could destroy her. Then she met Jace Maddox. Tattooed. Untouchable. Addictively cruel in the way he watched her like she was a secret he needed to unravel. With a past he refuses to talk about and a reputation that warns girls to keep their distance, Jace is exactly the kind of chaos Emery promised herself she'd never get close to. But some rules are made to be broken. And some people are made to ruin you, beautifully, completely, and without apology.Complete
The Heiress's Silent Captor by adeen
𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐃 𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐈𝐀𝐆𝐄 | 𝟏𝟖+ "You were made to be ruined, Sophie. And I'll be the man to do it-with patience... or without." · 𖥸 · Sophie Maddox is the embodiment of innocence-delicate, obedient, and untouched by the outside world. At just nineteen, she's spent her life hidden behind silk curtains and garden walls, raised under the strict rule of a powerful but crumbling family who taught her to be seen, not heard. With honey-blonde hair, doll-like gray-blue eyes, and a voice as soft as a whisper, Sophie has never disobeyed an order, never spoken to a man without permission, and certainly never known the kind of hunger that simmers behind the eyes of Liam Voss-the man she's been forced to marry. Liam, a thirty-two-year-old billionaire with a brutal past and a reputation that sends men running, is the definition of control. Ruthless in business and terrifying in presence, he's used to having everything his way-until Sophie. He didn't want love. He didn't want softness. What he wanted was an heir, a contract fulfilled, and a wife who would never question his authority. But Sophie's quiet submission awakens something possessive and feral inside him, something darker than dominance-a need to claim her in ways no contract could bind. She was given to him. Trained to obey. But the more he touches her, the more he realizes: breaking her might be the only way to keep her.Complete

Forget about me
Did I kill him? I hope I did. Because if he isn't dead, I will be. That's why I'm going back home. To King's cove. To find the treasure my father's diary will lead me to and use it to get the hell out of the country. What else am I supposed to do with fifty bucks to my name, an old coded diary and a body full of bruises? Only problem is that I have to avoid the four boys from my past that I hate at the same time. But this is the perfect opportunity for me to take what I'm owed. Once upon a time they betrayed me. Broke my heart and sent me away. Hunter. Jeremy. Shade. Ryder. Those four names are burned into my skin more permanently than any of the ink painting it. The four boys I once knew don't just live in this town anymore, they run it. The gang. The nightlife. The violence. It's all theirs. The packs. And those four morally ambigous avengers rule it all. All I have to do is slip past them, do my thing and get out. Should be easy, right?Complete
