"Aria is a young woman who always seems to find herself in chance encounters that always end in a rush of hurt and longing for a love that's never her own. Some say that a chance encounter can be the best thing to happen to people, like love at first sight. How about crossing paths with people who are so toxic it consumes you to a point you feel you need them in your life. You don't realize how controlling, how manipulating, they are until it's too late. Their lies become a blanket of truths you start to believe. They care for you when you're at your weakest, when you need their attention the most, not knowing this is all part of."

He sees her pain. He sees her scars. And he doesn't run. But Aria doesn't know how to be loved. She only knows how to break. And she's terrified she'll destroy him too. Some girls chase love. Some chase shadows. Aria is still learning the difference. ⚠️ Mature themes: family trauma, toxic relationships, emotional healing
I Didn't Ask For A Bodyguard!
"When life gives you lemons, throw them back and yell: 'I WANTED SUSHI DAMMIT!" ~~ Aria has hemophilia. That means if she loses blood that's... Not a really good thing, because she'll bleed more than a regular person does. Which isn't a really nice thought, but now that she has potential gunmen after her, she's really running out of nice thoughts. She's the sole survivor of an incident and with no other option (well, actually, there was an option of changing her name to Helga and living the rest of her life on a goat farm but that wasn't really appealing) she's left to live with her cranky grandparents and a bodyguard who's far too good looking to be real, like, seriously.

Damaged Goods
Aria, an aspiring Registered Nurse, hasn't had the best of luck when it comes to relationships, or life in general. But when tempers flare and jealousy ignites, life becomes about survival.

Angels can be damaged
They call her an angel. But angels aren't supposed to have scars. They aren't supposed to break. Seventeen-year-old Aria has learned to survive in a world that keeps trying to shatter her. She hides behind long sleeves and fake smiles, fighting battles no one else can see. Days blur into nights, and sometimes weeks pass before she feels the sun on her skin. Food tastes like guilt. Silence feels safer than words. But even angels can be damaged. And even broken wings can learn to fly again Warning -self harming -kinda depressing -🚫🌶️ -a bit of eating disorderComplete
Marked By The Devil
Aria thought she had it all figured out when she ran away from home with nothing but a promise of a bright future alongside her high school sweetheart. The small-town girl, eager for escape saw only a horizon full of hope and love. But the dream quickly turned to dust after they married. The man she thought she knew became someone unrecognizable, and the life they built together turned into a nightmare. Trapped and suffocated by a world of deceit and danger, Aria found herself fleeing for her life, heartbroken and desperate. With nowhere else to turn, she made her way back to the only place she thought might offer some kind of safety-her father's motorcycle gang. The very gang she had sworn to leave behind when she left home all those years ago. But things were different now. The world she once knew had changed, and so had she. As she returned to the grimy, gritty world of her father's ruthless empire, Aria found herself face-to-face with the one man who could make everything even more complicated: Reaper. Reaper's cold, lethal eyes seemed to pierce through her, seeing past the carefully constructed facade she'd built to escape her past. It was as if he knew every secret she was running from, every lie she'd told herself to survive. Aria couldn't shake the feeling that he was not just a threat, but something far more dangerous. Was she merely prey in his eyes, another piece of the puzzle he was piecing together, or was there something more? Something darker, more captivating, that drew her into his orbit. With each encounter, the tension between them grows, and Aria begins to wonder if the price of safety might come with a far greater cost-one that could pull her deeper into a world of violence, power, and secrets she's not sure she's ready to face. But as the lines blur between hunter and hunted, Aria's past may just catch up with her in ways she never imagined, and Reaper could be the only one who truly understands the darkness she's trying to escape.Complete
I Adore You
I love you, Aria. You look so pretty in pink. Stop ignoring me, princess. Playing hard to get, I see. I hate it when you braid your hair. Stop biting your lips you'll hurt yourself. The messages flash one after another on my screen, each one making my chest tighten and my hands tremble. My phone buzzes again, the vibration rattling against the nightstand like it's mocking me. I can't bear to read another word. I throw it onto the bed and bury my face in the pillow, my tears soaking through the fabric before I can stop them. I want it to stop. I want them to stop. It's been like this for months an endless stream of messages that swing between sweet and suffocating, between playful and threatening. And every day, I feel the invisible noose tightening. I'm scared. I'm so scared. I can't tell my dad. He already has enough to deal with especially with no heir to take over his business yet. I can't be another problem on his plate. But the truth is, I'm drowning. The worst part? I have no idea who it is. No face to match the words that haunt me. No name to put to the shadow that's watching me. But I know one thing for sure... He is not going to stop. And I can't handle living like this anymore...
It Wasn't Love ✔️
"Fuck." He whispers into my neck, sending a thrill of excitement through my body. His lips still smothered kisses over my neck and his hands roamed my body, starting at my chest, going down to my stomach. Caressing my soft skin, his thumb trailed circles on my groin before slightly slipping into the waistband of my jeans. My breath catches in my throat as I pull at the hoodie that covered his chiselled body. Understanding, Jacob pulls it off in one swift movement before attaching his lips back on my neck. Sucking and biting it before flicking his tongue over the sore spot. A quiet moan leaves my mouth and I clasp my hand over it, denying any noise to escape. "You drive me fucking crazy, Aria." ---------------------------- Aria Bailey finds it hard to fit in. Her parents are always busy and never have time for her. She lives alone at her family home and has top grades in all of her classes. But being a 17 year old friendless nerd comes with its disadvantages.

Aria learns more about popular boy, Jacob Rickson and starts developing feelings for the well known 18 year old. Jacob helps her come out of her shell and learn to be more comfortable and confident.
