threshold effect: a sudden and radical change in a phenomenon which often occurs after surpassing a quantitative limit, called the threshold, also known as the point of no return.  

. . . 

Willa Evans, self-diagnosed insomniac and ardent chain-smoker, sees no need to remain loyal to the place that pilfered her mother from her and let her become a quasi-orphan. Keeping a low profile is her thing; enter Mateo Delgado, the bane of her existence, and suddenly, she doesn't know who she is anymore.

She can't love him because he is the reminder of the infidelity her mother had to forgive, and she can't hate him because he's the only person helping her stay sane. Willa swears never to be in a relationship because what's the point if she'll only get hurt? But something about Mateo draws her in and she ignores her gut and allows herself to be happy with him. So when Briana Fuentes becomes the other woman in their relationship, Willa can't help but feel the full burnt of the curse of the generation before them.

Suddenly, she has to decide. Will she be like her mother: blame herself and wither away in sadness and misery? Or will she forgive Mateo and move on with him?All Rights Reserved

IT LINGERS. (Book 1 in ASYMPTOTE series) by darkweavers

Mia Fernandez thought love was simple. Flavio D'Cruz was hers, safe and warm. Kai Chen was just a shadow from the past. But shadows don't stay buried. Not when blood ties you to men who ruin everything. Not when a mistake ignites a chain of revenge. Not when obsession twists love into possession. Trapped between loyalty and fear, desire and betrayal - Mia's world fractures. What began as friendship and love will end in chains, in lies, in a darkness she never chose... but can't escape. Because some monsters don't hide under the bed. They kiss you goodnight.

Childhood Sweethearts by LaurenJ22

#1 Teen Fiction | #1 Young Adult | #1 Romance "We all need someone to drive us mad." - The Wombats. He stared arrogantly down at me, a smirk plastered across his face. I sneered up at him with distaste, wanting to wrap my fingers around his neck and strangle that smirk off of him. He brushed my golden hair from my face, his long, slender fingers sparking electricity in my skin, making my knees wobble together. "Will you ever, forgive me?" he whispered huskily, his eyes intently staring into mine. His face was only mere inches from me. I just needed to reach out a little further to kiss him... "Yeah. Over my dead body." I snapped, before throwing my arms out forcefully, shoving my hands into his chest, pushing him from me. -*-*-*- He, is Carter Williams. I, am Lacey Adams. We were once, inseparable. The 'Golden Couple'. The unbreakable best friends, that everybody envied. Nothing could get between us. A part from being tighter than white on rice, we updated our status from friends to being in a relationship, frequently. We were neighbours, which meant our families were all close and even co-owned houses around our town. This, all is, until the day of my sixteenth birthday. Everything changed. The loving relationship we shared, was severed and torn apart. I couldn't hardly stand to look at him any more, without spitting fire that is. Every day is torture being around him. He was in all my classes at school and the window in my room was even directly aligned with his. So, what happens? My mother's mum gets sick, so dad and her fly out. Just them. Leaving me to stay with Carter and his parents, who are never home. We would be alone. In one house. Under the same roof. If I was insane before, I have no idea what I am now. © 2016 by LaurenJ22.

Some moments in life are so profound, they feel like they hold the weight of a lifetime. For DeMar, that moment was the one he chose to confess his deepest feelings to Meera. He had watched her from across the office floor, a quiet infatuation growing into a love so strong it demanded to be spoken. He believed his heart was finally leading him to his destiny. But fate, and his so-called best friend, had other plans. Nika, the quirky and unassuming girl who had always been a constant presence in DeMar's life since joining the firm, had been watching him closely. Beneath her playful smile was a silent longing. When DeMar's moment of truth with Meera didn't go as expected, Nika saw her opportunity. With a cunning mind and a heart driven by obsession, she stepped into the void and began to orchestrate a twisted game of her own. What started as a simple, heartfelt confession spirals into a complicated web of deceit, betrayal, and blackmail. In this game, every player has a secret, every action has a consequence, and the line between love and manipulation is blurred. DeMar will soon learn that a single moment of vulnerability can cost him everything, and he'll be forced to ask himself: Is a fleeting moment of passion worth trading away a lifetime of happiness?
