Trapped in a never ending loop, Natalie English tries her best to keep a positive head on her shoulders. Living blissfully within the walls of her Vermont home, she keeps to herself and the friends that she keeps close by. 

Despite her comfortable life, she seems to be pulling away from the day to day plans and the lists that keep her organized. The very reason being Nolan, the guy who was destined to turn her quiet life into chaos. 

Nolan Gunner comes from a long line of fuck-ups. Cursed with a past he can't escape, he makes the choice to return back to Vermont to see his father. Driven by revenge, and only revenge, he seeks out the very girl he should never touch. He'd poison her, every last bit of her, until she was just as cursed as he was.All Rights Reserved

Revenge by TrixieNova

Five years ago, thirteen-year-old cougar shifter Harper's life was shattered in one horrific night. Left for dead and broken, her family brutally murdered, she wished she had died alongside them. Instead, she was left behind, buried beneath the suffocating rubble of heartache and grief. They took everything from her. From that day forward, Harper vowed to rebuild herself from the ground up. She trained relentlessly, every day, every hour, becoming smarter, stronger, colder, and darker. Karma wasn't finding them. Justice was nowhere to be found. Destiny seemed content to leave them on their perfect little paths of love, peace, and bliss. The deadliest predator is the one you don't see coming. It'll make it all the sweeter when Harper comes for them, for all of them. It's time to see that justice is finally served.

[COMPLETED] Twenty-five-year old Gunner Shaw is a drug addict, and his girlfriend is hopelessly drowning in the sorrow of raising their daughter without his support. From one high to the next, and from one job to the next, it can only be so long until one of them caves. As the New Year peaks over the horizon, stages of withdrawal rise, old habits resurface, and dangerous feelings begin to shadow everything they've known. The chances of redemption start fading away with each passing day, leaving them with choices that ultimately change their definition of home and the fight for family.

The Love We Left Behind by 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.*

The Grean Household by uninstalledproxy402

"It was a mistake..." She told her mother, folding her hands into each other. "Marrying him..." Her mother said nothing, she simply sat there as her only daughter stood across from her, on the verge of collapsing from bruised ribs and cracked shins. "Mom." She wanted to reach out, softly tap her aging mother. Though that was the restriction of her life. The binding stereotype that she was gentle and slow to anger. In reality, what wanted to explode from her ribs was a scream of an animal, and the tears of repressed rage and fear. She wanted to throw her body onto the floor, but the thought made her damaged body ache more. There was no response from her mother. The deafening silence reminded her of her own quietness as her husband shouted at her, his fists bloody. He told her that she was only a tool for his amusement and a money-whore for her indigent family. She was nothing else but a tool for both parties. And she was starting to believe him. --------------------- Sarah Johnsen's life spirals from the normal gritty resilient fight to a serene wonderland. On the outside, she's married to a kind family with untold riches, but on the inside, her husband is the devil himself. Forcefully married at 18, Sarah was forced to kill her own dreams of becoming a doctor in order to bind her poor family to the rich bastards of Glendale by marrying their youngest; Oliver Grean. Their arrangement had the ability to brew the largest timespan of misery any of them has ever known. From lost toddlers to paid staged kidnappings, the binding of the two families, the Johnsen's and the Grean's created a mixture of chaos, confusion, sorrow, fear, grief, and dangerous rage. And there seems to be no haven to escape to. Or is there?

Amissis Imperium by Phantasmal-wanderer

"I hate you. I hate you so much! You chain me to the table to eat. You chain me to the bed when I sleep. You chain me for anything that takes longer than fifteen fucking minutes!" He stared at me. A growing smile appearing on his face. "I like seeing that I'm in control of you. That there isn't a place that you can run from me. That you will never be able to fight back," I stared back at him, my chest rising up and down as I was trying to control my breathing from my outburst. "That you're mine."

You Are the Shell to My Tortoise | ✓ by LotteStarburst

Nolan, an unapproachable guy who ignores the existence of all his schoolmates, sleeps in all of his classes. Normally, this wouldn't be Chelsea Arnold's problem-she does her best to pay attention in class and attends gym like a good, normal student. Unfortunately, she just so happens to be his assigned desk partner in many classes. She's frequently forced to wake him in English class and ends up earning the unofficial title of Nolan's Wake-up Alarm-a title that nobody in the entire school covets. The last thing she wants is to interact with him more than she absolutely has to. One day, their gym teacher sends her to bring him back to class, which he always skips for some reason. When she accidentally shines her flashlight in his sleeping face, it triggers a chain of events that gradually intertwines their lives together. It's hard to be a normal student when you start befriending the school oddball. It doesn't help that he has more secrets than the Big Ben has stairs. ----- Complete.

Memory Lane by Liz_Plum

Laura Laurier was spontaneous. She was a passenger on the ride of life, uncaring or unaware of the turns she took. She just followed wherever the road led her. Until one fateful drive, where giving up control cost her nearly everything. After refusing to drive on a trip home from dinner with her parents, Laura's father stepped into the driver's seat and drove down a path that he and her mother would never come back from.

At her new school, Laura is determined to start over. In order to pretend like her past never happened, no one can know why she needed to move to Bennington. Jesse Ashford was always in control. In the ride of life, he jumped in the driver's seat to speed down his path, trying his best to outrun his past. Once a close friend of Allen and his friend group, Jesse has since pulled back and stuck to himself. Outrunning their pasts led to them running into each other and when Laura and Jesse's roads cross, Laura tries to steer clear of him. However, Jesse is drawn to the mystery that surrounds the new girl in town. Now, Laura has to decide if she can remain in control while opening up to Jesse, or if the only way to escape her past is to stay in her own lane. *Complete*
