The Boy with Bad Habits by blackcatbri

I began writing this at 15 and finished it at 17. It is my first novel, give me grace for that. [Warning: this book contains explicit content, crude language, drug use & abusive scenarios.] He tried everything, everything, everything to forget her. No matter how hard he fought, the memories wouldn't fade. She wasn't some dream girl, she was the dreamy one who taunted him. A blonde viper that shattered every part of him. But picking up the pieces? That's the part he never thought he'd get around to. Ace Valentino doesn't do what people expect-he's the guy who walks on the wild side just because he wants to. A brooding young man with a dark side fueled by brokenness, addiction, and bad decisions. His heart is still held hostage by his stoic, adrenaline-obsessed ex. How could he move on with that? It isn't plausible. So, he drowns the pain with alcohol and anything that numbs him. But Ace has secrets, ones he vowed to bury forever. Then, his new neighbor moves in and suddenly, something inside him stirs-something he's not ready for, and everything he's terrified of. Willow Andrews, sweet yet scarred, knows nothing but loneliness. Her guardian's abuse has built walls around her big heart. Love is a stranger to her, and she's afraid of what she doesn't understand. But something about Ace, the tortured soul next door, draws her in-despite the fear. In a world where love is something they can't quite reach, Ace and Willow collide. What could possibly come of this? Can they save each other, or will their pasts break them before they have a chance? The line between magic and misery is thinner than they think-and the change they both desperately need might just be the thing that destroys them, or... sets them free.

Rory & Nell: Please come home by Nika_Kostova

As Nell recovers from the loss of her mom, her Dad's depression, and a string of failed relationships, Rory has remained her one reliable constant. He is not only her dad's best friend, but also the harbor she comes home to when life gets tough. That unique bond gets put to the test when Nell develops feelings for Rory that go a little deeper than he can allow. Their difference in age, their entangled lives, and the judgement of their closely-connected families stand in the way of their happiness. And risking the love they already share for a more intimate kind of love seems to be too much of a gamble. Possible trigger topics: grief, mentions of depression, age gap, explicit language Vibes: sweet, wholesome, family ties, comedic & dramatic

Porch Light Promises by MLMellon

Norah Carter wasn't looking for love, not after losing the boy who once held her whole heart. Her quiet life in Hillcrest is safe, predictable... until the cocky handyman From the next town over shows up to fix her crumbling farmhouse. Nick Hunter is trouble wrapped up in muscle and sawdust, with a grin that should be illegal and a habit of showing up at Tom's Diner just to watch Norah blush. He swears he's only in town to work, but the way he looks at her says otherwise. Late-night porch swings, string lights, and stolen kisses soon blur the lines between grief and something that feels like a lot of hope. But when trouble comes knocking, Norah has to decide if she's ready to stop looking back and start building something new.
