For a place called Fairhaven, Davina Harlow's hometown is a haven for nothing but corruption. 

No matter how pretty things look from the outside, deception rots at the core. It waits around every corner, touches everything she loves, and the presence of a small criminal organization plants seeds of doubt where she wishes only happiness could grow.

All she's ever dreamed of is the carefree life she was promised, to keep her family close by and live happily ever after with the guy she's had her eye on for as long as she can remember. But when something sinister lies behind every smile and no one's who they say they are, that dream has never felt so out of reach. 

Even as she tries to separate herself from the darkness of her once beloved hometown, Davina only finds herself more immersed in the lies and greed that have destroyed it. And with love and loyalty being tested at every turn, she's left trying to figure out what's real amidst smoky truths and scattered feelings. All while trying to stay alive.All Rights Reserved

Twisted (Editing) by BurntWitch

⚜Some secrets are better hidden.⚜ ********************************************************** After a lifetime of moving, Imani's parents have promised her this is the last. She would be relieved, but they've moved to no-where USA. A town named Evansville; isolated, boring and population: tiny. In a place so small, her last two years of high should be easy and unremarkable. But as things start and continue to go wrong, Imani soon realizes there's more to Evansville that meets the eye. And it's ugly. When you're trapped in a tiny town, boxed in from all sides and under constant surveillance what do you do? Buckle under the pressure? Or become just as twisted at those around you? ************************************************************* "Yeah, I just love being locked inside all day, not allowed to see my parents and wondering if I will ever get to leave this godforsaken town again. Honestly, what the fuck do I have to be grateful for!" My hands shook with anger. "Put down the gun," he commanded. "If you don't let me go, I'm going to kill you." My grip on the gun trembled, but I tried my best to keep it steady. "I swear, I won't hesitate to shoot you." His voice was chilling. "Are you nervous?" "No, though you should be." "Shoot me then Imani." His eyes were still a calm sea blue. This was all him. "Don't go back on your promise."

He catches a stray of my hair and puts it behind my ear. I can feel a blush creeping up my cheeks, so I catch his wrist and push it hard away from me. I lean in close to him and look him straight in the eyes. "Touch me one more time and I'm afraid you'll never be a free man again Bryne." Davina grew up in prison when her mother got sentenced for first-degree murder. When she turns eighteen her mother finally doesn't have custody over her anymore, which means she can leave.

GREY by AriesBlackWolf

I was frozen to my spot, watching his slightly darkened eyes roam my body and I couldn't help the embarrassment that suddenly coursed through me. Heat rushed up to my face as I timidly moved my eyes away from his intense gaze, crossing my bare legs over one another as I bit my lip. I felt completely vulnerable. The silence was soon thankfully broken when he cleared his throat, bringing my eyes back up to find him turn around to shut the bedroom door. ----------------------------------------------------------- Constantly having to move from town to town due to her father's condition was never easy for Aria Clark.
