Lylah Gray. 
The girl who vanished in the flames. 

~~~

Years have unfurled since that fateful night that took her family; a housefire infamous for its ruin of the Grays. 

Supposedly.

Because, unknowing to the watching eyes of her small hometown, someone was spared. Beneath the ashes, Lylah Gray hides in plain sight, a silent observer, a ghost among the living.

Her town believes it was a tragic accident, a mere twist of fate - a faulty pipe, a candle's treacherous flame. 

Lylah knows better. 

Now, she has returned from her self-imposed exile with a new mission and, simultaneously, her greatest challenge: uncover the truth while guarding her real identity, especially from a girl she once knew.

A girl now bearing scars as deep as her own. Aurelia Hathaway. 

As Lylah delves into the secrets of that haunting night, the line between the past and present blurs, and the walls around her heart begin to crumble. 

The truth has always danced just beyond her reach. And now she must catch it before it is gone forever.All Rights Reserved

Knife's Edge by TinyZebraThing

With a drug lord for a father and an addict for a mother, Jade Taylor has been dealt a pretty shabby hand in life. Her childhood was spent in a constant state of fear, her only solace being her two half-sisters, Charlotte and Bailey, who were forced to live the nightmare alongside her. Her father finally got caught when she was seven and for a fleeting, white-hot second, it seemed that things were going to be okay. She should've known better. She should've known that her mother would jump ship, choose the drugs and not the daughter. Suddenly left abandoned, navigating the murky waters of life in care, it took a little while longer for Jade to find her place in the world. Now, finally, she has. At the age of eighteen, Jade is counting down the days before her exams are over, excited to spend the summer with her two best friends and boyfriend. Unfortunately, things don't always go according to plan... not in a town like Greencliff. Upon meeting the Coleman's - a family that fits so perfectly into the 'gang' culture she so desperately wants to avoid - Jade finds herself teetering on the edge of a blade, carefully balanced between the life she wants and the life she wants to escape. The question is... which way will she fall? (This description is a work in progress and may be subject to change!)

Slow It Down by WriteOnMyFreeTime

[UPDATED WEEKLY] "You may be his world, but you're the only thing that ever felt like home to me." ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Some people never get second chances. Lilah never thought she'd get one with her brother's best friend. Lilah is quiet, kind, and inexperienced in love. Jackson is all rough edges-tattoos, a bad reputation, and a long history of girls who never stay. They're total opposites, and after years of silence, they're inconveniently forced back into each other's lives as reluctant project partners. Once, Jackson was the boy who helped pull Lilah out of the darkness when she was struggling. He was her best friend-her only friend growing up. Then he walked away without a word. Now, four years later, he's cold, distant, and impossible to read. And if he hates her, Lilah's determined to hate him right back. But when old wounds resurface and secrets unravel, the line between love and hate starts to blur. The boy who once protected her is still in there somewhere-hidden beneath his walls, his reckless reputation, and the weight of a lifelong secret he's been barely holding together that he refuses to talk about. Because some second chances come with a price. And this time, it might be her heart.

High School Sweethearts by Zelena_Blackarne

Brooke Callahan is a driven, ambitious journalist who fled her small town of Havenbrook a decade ago, leaving behind the love of her life, Ethan Hayes. Their once-perfect relationship was shattered by a scandal that neither has fully recovered from-until fate forces them to cross paths again. Brooke returns to Havenbrook to cover a high school reunion and is thrust back into Ethan's life when she's assigned to investigate an embezzlement scandal involving the local community and his family's business. As she digs deeper, Brooke is forced to confront her unresolved feelings for Ethan, the boy who once broke her heart. Ethan, now a brooding single father, is equally reluctant to revisit their past but agrees to help her when their investigation reveals unsettling truths that could destroy both their families. Old wounds are reopened, and sparks fly as they reluctantly work together, their love-hate chemistry undeniable. The more Brooke uncovers, the darker the secrets of Havenbrook become. What starts as a simple story of corporate corruption soon spirals into something much more personal. Brooke's own family is implicated in the scandal, and the lines between ally and enemy blur. As Brooke and Ethan get closer, they realize the past wasn't what they thought-it was a web of lies, betrayals, and sacrifices that neither could have anticipated. Ethan confesses he took the blame for a mistake she made in high school, giving up everything, including her, to protect her reputation. As the investigation intensifies, danger grows. Someone is desperate to keep the truth buried, and they'll do anything to stop Brooke from exposing it. As the stakes rise, Brooke and Ethan are forced to confront their painful history and make a choice: can they forgive the past and find a future together, or will the truth destroy them once again?
