Rowan Easton is the perfect teenager. She keeps her head high, she has perfect grades, and there's never a hair out of place or crease in sight. However, there is so much more than meets the eye with Rowan. She keeps it hidden, held close to her heart so that the world will never see.

The only person who risks shattering her hard-shelled exterior and letting her inner demons bleed out for the world to see is the very boy who makes her day-to-day life at school miserable.

Asher Madigan has spent the last two years reinventing himself and creating the intimidating, tough guy facade. He's built so many walls, they could rival the most secure and secluded prison in the world. But when Rowan Easton starts standing up for herself, Asher finds that the tiny flame of her anger may just be what it takes to set fire to his walls and burn him to the ground.

Will Rowan be able to fight back against Asher's taunts? Will Asher be able to deny Rowan's alluring pull? When some of their closest kept secrets start to seep from their hearts, will either of them survive it? Neither of them are sure.

They only know one thing: it's either burn in the flames or embrace the fire.All Rights Reserved

Vicious Cycle by xREDHOTREADS

Violet and Asher didn't just break up-they detonated. Their love was a dangerous, all-consuming flame, built on equal parts passion and obsession. It took only one mistake, Violet's ultimate betrayal, to reduce their world to ash. Now, trust is non-existent, and the only feeling stronger than their lingering attraction is their blinding hatred. For Asher, the revenge was immediate and cutting: a calculated, public rebound designed to make Violet feel every ounce of pain he carried. But Violet isn't a victim, and her counter-strike at a crowded party escalates their conflict from a break-up to a full-blown war. One confrontation, fueled by rage, resentment, and a devastating, undeniable chemistry, leads them right back into the one place they vowed never to return: each other's bed. Trapped in a destructive spiral, Violet and Asher use sex as a weapon and vulnerability as a trap. They can't stand to be together, but they can't survive apart. Every whispered lie and stolen touch only deepens the wound, ensuring they keep fighting for control of a heart that already belongs to the other. This is not a love story; it's a vicious cycle. The question isn't how far they'll go to hurt each other, but whether they'll finally self-destruct in the wreckage, or if this relentless battlefield can somehow forge them back into a couple again.

THE 180 (Flipped) by TaesiaSia

Seira Norwood never asked for an archenemy, but fate decided to hand her Rowan Slade-the school's golden boy, heartthrob, and the absolute bane of her existence. He's arrogant, annoyingly perfect, and collects fangirls like Pokémon cards. She? She can't stand the sight of him... or the fact that everyone thinks she secretly likes him. But Seira has her reasons for hating Rowan, reasons she keeps locked away behind her sarcasm and fake laughs. And Rowan? He treats her like she's invisible-until she pushes back, forcing his carefully built walls to crack. What starts as petty rivalry spirals into something more intense, something neither of them is ready to face. Because sometimes, all it takes is a single 180° turn to flip enemies into something else entirely.

alone, together by tanzwrites

Rowan Cassidy has a plan: survive senior year, get the scholarship, and don't fall apart. He doesn't have time for distractions - especially not Killian Vale, his infuriatingly beautiful neighbour who's made a career out of ruining his life one sarcastic remark at a time. They've "hated" each other for years. Allegedly. On paper. Except it's the kind of hate that pauses in the air between them. That stares too long. That sounds a hell of a lot like something else when no one's looking. Killian is chaos in a leather jacket. Rowan is order in calloused palms and colour-coded binders. They're opposites, always have been - but when a series of late nights, care-filled actions, and too-close-to-honest arguments start to peel back their seemingly failing defence mechanism, Rowan's perfectly managed world starts to spiral. And maybe the person he's spent years fighting is the only one who actually sees him. Sharp-tongued, slow-burning, and emotionally messy - this is not your typical love story. It's worse. It's theirs. A classic, almost clichéd frenemies-to-lovers tale; one gloriously inconvenient love story.

Burning Lines by Sarah5740652

Two opposites. One shared space. A thousand reasons to hate each other-and one undeniable spark. Ava Sinclair has her life perfectly mapped out. Top student, focused, fiercely independent. When her dad's company suddenly goes bankrupt, Ava is forced to attend the public university she swore she never would-one crawling with parties, drama, and worst of all... him. Luca Reed is the golden boy of the campus. Arrogant, reckless, infuriatingly hot. And now? He's her new roommate, thanks to a last-minute co-ed housing glitch. Their first meeting is a disaster. Their second? Worse. But when a kiss meant to hurt sparks something electric, hate turns into obsession. And behind slammed doors and whispered threats, something else begins to burn. They can't stand each other-but they can't stay away either.

Between the letters his birth parents keep sending him, a run-in with an old enemy that's out for his blood, and his responsibility to protect his adoptive parents from his fucked up birth family, he would only be putting the woman he loves in danger. He may make his living as a fighter but this is one fight he's destined to lose. Right? Aria Hunter has gotten pretty good at faking it until you make it. After getting through an abusive relationship and fleeing to another city Aria is ready to return home years later. Everything has changed, including her relationship with her best friend. There's a constant magnetic pull between them and Aria feels their intense chemistry with every touch and look Asher steals from her.
