In a small coastal town, where everyone knows each other's secrets, Sarah has spent years hiding hers. After a turbulent past, she's finally rebuilding her life, working at a local bookstore, and trying to stay clean. But when her childhood friend, Joe, returns home after a decade away, old feelings resurface, along with old demons.

Joe now a successful musician, has his own struggles. Fame brought him fortune, but also a reliance on substances to cope with the pressures of the spotlight. When he sees Sarah again, he's reminded of the love he left behind, but also the darkness they both share.

As their paths intertwine once more, Sarah and Joe find themselves drawn together by the intensity of their shared past and the powerful pull of their mutual addictions-his to fame, hers to substances, and both to each other. But as their relationship deepens, they must confront the question: Can love truly conquer the chains of addiction, or will their bond only fuel their self-destruction?Todos los derechos reservados

hollow souls de pearlescennnn

𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐋𝐈𝐂 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐄𝐓𝐓𝐈 is a mystery wrapped in darkness no one dares to unravel. Pain and sin have been etched into his skin, coursing through his veins like poison. Broken and battered more times than he can count, his soul carries silent scars few will ever see, scars born from horrors no one should survive. He was forged in cruelty, dragged through self-destruction and numbness, with death lurking just beyond his grasp since the moment his life slipped away. Salvation? He never wanted it. Sex was the only friend who stayed. 𝐋𝐘𝐑𝐀 𝐓𝐇𝐑𝐎𝐍𝐄 was once radiant, a bright light in a dark world, but now she's a hollow shell of numbness and despair. What stole her spark left her empty, drowning in a sea of pain she can barely swim through. The world feels distant, like something she watches through glass, untouched and untouchable. Desperate to feel anything, she turns to the bottle and the burn of her own scars. An angel's face with the devil's tongue, she's sin personified, broken beyond repair yet still unyielding. Their lives are raw wounds, bleeding into each other with every fight, every reckless touch. They destroy and salvage one another in a vicious cycle - he feels too much, and she feels nothing at all. Together, they are pain made flesh, sin made real, bound by a fierce, painful love that neither can escape. Can two hollow souls find salvation in each other, or are they doomed to break forever?

The Love We Left Behind de TheAmaraChronicles

"I could never get her out of my head, no matter how hard I tried. I could never move on with my life. I fought, and I fought, but it was pointless. She was ingrained in my mind and soul, and I despised her for it. Lexi Black was the bane of my existence, and I wasn't going to rest until I ruined hers." After a tragic accident tears them apart, Lexi and Carson become estranged. Having been best friends for almost all their lives doesn't seem to matter to Carson as he leaves her behind without looking back. Struggling with her new reality and unable to move on from the loss that shook her to her core, Lexi turns back to her small town. Caring for a sick mother and working a dead-end job seems to be all that life has in store for her, until he reappears. 7 years later, Carson is back in town, determined to ruin Lexi's life like she destroyed his. Secrets come to light, and confessions threaten to decimate whatever is left of their relationship when Lexi decides that there is no going back. Some mistakes can not be fixed, and hearts can not be unbroken. *A small town, friends to enemies to lovers love story that paints grief through love in a whole different light.*

She steps into a rhythm of darkness she has never experienced before when she accepts a challenging position at a company with interminable night shifts. Then, in the midst of that shadow, destiny entices her. Arjun, a charismatic young man of 25, stumbles into her life rather than planned it. Something forbidden and enthralling develops out of what starts as fleeting interactions and stolen looks. Night after night, they are consumed by their secret, which must remain concealed from the public, but their chemistry is raw and passionate. Still, nothing ever really gets rid of the past. Joe comes back, seeking to recover what he lost while feeling guilty, possessive, and frantic. His return stirs up old hurts, sending Noyona into a whirlwind of emotions. Joe's eerie familiarity draws her back into the maze of their shared history, while Arjun's passionate devotion pulls her in the opposite direction. At this juncture, Noyona must decide between love and treachery, desire and ruin. Will her silence condemn her to a life of yearning and remorse, or can she free her heart from the clutches of the men who possess pieces of her soul? Hidden evenings, perilous impulses, and the delicate line between love and survival are all themes that run throughout The Secret Affair, which is more than just a romance novel.

OBSESSION. too personal de _Jane_D_O_E

This could have been a gentle story for quiet autumn evenings. But it shattered against Morphine - a chapter that will not let you stay indifferent. And now, you'll understand why. This is not a story about perfect love. It's about healing through pain, about love that blooms after trauma, and about the fragile line between salvation and obsession. She is a woman rebuilding herself from the ashes. Not strong - simply real. A mother. A fighter. A writer whose words cut deeper than truth itself. She doesn't want to be someone's muse - she only wants to be understood. He is the man the world worships... and fears. A legend. A symbol of an era. But behind the fame, there's a man haunted by his own darkness. Together, they are fire and gasoline - two broken souls learning how to love without losing themselves. Their story isn't a fairytale. It's an age-gap dark romance about redemption, grief, and the courage to love again. With touch. With words. With silence between the lines.
