LOVE OF THE WALLFLOWER by rky_shaz

Blurb: They were rivals before they were anything else-constantly at odds, pushing each other to be better, stronger, smarter. But one fateful summer changed everything. A whirlwind of stolen moments and unspoken promises tied them together forever, forcing them into a life they never imagined. Now, years later, tragedy has left their bond fractured and their hearts in pieces. When an unexpected encounter brings them face to face again, old emotions resurface-but so do the secrets that tore them apart. Some scars never fade, and some stories are far from over.

Forbidden Desire 18+ by SavannaWritess

Isabella is desperate for her own independence, but her overprotective father stands in the way of her future. When she demands that she attends a University two hundred miles away from her home, her father only has one exception; a bodyguard. Elio is dedicated to his career to honour his late sister, but when he owes a favour to an ex-mafia boss, he takes body-guarding to a completely new level. Isabella is reckless and likes to push her bodyguards limits. Elio has zero patience and a desire to punish his client. When things start to get heated and unexpected feelings get in the way, their forbidden relationship becomes a distraction when Isabella's life is on the line. Elio is desperate to not let down another important woman in his life. But he can't save everyone, including his own bleeding heart. Tropes: - Mafia Romance - Bodyguard - Age-gap (8 years - FMC is 21 and MMC is 29) - Forbidden Love - Brat FMC/Grumpy MMC - Light BDSM (sub/dom vibes) - Size difference (5'4 & 6'6) - University/College Setting - Past Trauma/Healing - ANGST (so much of it)

Warning : contains a sweet, but tough female lead and a morally grey grumpy billionaire who is absolutely obsessed with her. *Dahlia I was raised by a chronically optimist woman. Though we did not have much in terms of material possessions, she made sure I understood that life was far more than what you did and did not have. She was my rock, my whole world. A world that came crashing down when she got involved in a car accident that left her in a coma. I would do anything to save her, even sign my soul away to her estranged family in exchange for help with medical expenses. They want me to marry someone as part of a business deal. I would marry the devil himself it meant that I could see my mother smile again. *Damien They tell me having an eidetic memory is a gift, but it is nothing short of a curse when every single painful detail of my life has been seared into my brain forever. Sure, my mind has helped me build an empire worth billions from nothing, but the demons still haunt me, caging me within shadows I could never escape. Until I meet her. She is my angel, my saving grace, and I will do anything to keep her. Even if I have to go against everything I stand for and marry her. But will she reciprocate my feelings when she inevitably sees me for the devil I truly am? (Book #1 in the Billionaires Obsessed series) Contains dark themes, mature content and violence.

On the surface, Elaine Castillo and Dante Cyril are one and the same. The only children to two billionaire fathers, they are each the heirs to their families' self-made business empires. Elaine is armed with wit, a prestigious education, and the ability to read her enemies like open books. Her only downfall is a dark past that is being used against her in a blackmail-fueled bargain with her father's right hand man. The only way to escape this unwritten contract is to protect her father's business by getting answers out of their largest competitor - who just so happens to be protected by the Italian mafia. Dante lacks interest in ruling his father's kingdom. He thrives on the laid back lifestyle, filled with fast cars and loose women, he has always enjoyed. When his father dies to tragic and suspicious circumstances, Elaine and her father are at the top of his suspect list. Will the two be able to sort out their differences for the sake of their families' billions, or will they find themselves risking it all out of pride? In this grueling dark romance, you can expect to find yourself biting your fingernails, swooning, and sweating all at the same time.
