Ava Jones has always prided herself on being in control of her emotions-focused, independent, and determined to keep her heart guarded. But everything starts to shatter when her friend, Nora Stevens, begins dating the one person Ava never thought she'd want: Archer Blake. A mysterious, intense guy who's always been around but never truly in Ava's gaze. He's a guy who every girl wants. As Nora and Archer's relationship deepens, Ava can't help but feel the magnetic pull between her and Archer growing stronger, a connection she's not ready to confront.
Caught in jealousy, unspoken desires, and complicated friendships, Ava struggles to keep her emotions in check. Just as she tries to move on, Archer's feelings for Ava come to light, shaking everything. Will she take a chance on the forbidden attraction to Archer? Can Archer truly be trusted with her heart after all that's happened, or is his confession just another way to complicate things? With graduation around the corner and their lives about to change, Ava must decide to play it safe or take a risk on an attraction that could change everything.

Falling for the Goddess by Stellatrix04
133 parts Ongoing
Sara Hart, a gentle and seemingly soft woman on the outside, hides an independent and clear-headed spirit. She has secretly admired Adrian Blake, a man who defies the typical image of a cold and domineering CEO. Adrian Blake is distant and detached, especially when it comes to women, leaving everyone wondering what kind of woman could ever melt his ice-cold heart. After breaking away from his powerful family, Adrian Blake disappears from the public eye, and people lament the fall of a once untouchable figure. However, in a surprising twist, he reappears at the launch of a new company. During the interview, Adrian Blake casually reveals his wedding ring, answering the host's question with nonchalance, "I didn't want my wife to work so hard to support the family, so I had to step out and do something." Sara Hart, who has hidden her feelings for years, has always chronicled her thoughts in a photo album - a collection of memories and secrets from her school days. At the end of the album is a poem she wrote during a moment of heartbreak: "To love someone is like creating a belief, serving a god that could fall at any moment. But my god will never fall." She carefully set a deadline of two years to keep her emotions in check, awaiting the day when she would face judgment. When she finally reaches the last page of the album, she finds a new line written in a bold and powerful hand: "I give you the loyalty of a man who has never believed in anything." Her god, it seems, has fallen for her. This is a story of hidden love, inner strength, and the unexpected vulnerability of the untouchable.

Secrets and Sin by madsssbarron
1 part Ongoing Mature
Ruth Laurier didn't move to New York City to chase her wildest hopes and dreams like most people do. Instead, she moved to try and escape the shadows of her past. After a brutal attack that left her only breaths away from death, she had no choice but to leave everything she has ever known behind- her friends, family, and the town she grew up in. So she assumes a new identity as Bailey Rivers and focuses on her studies and lying low in the city that never sleeps. Her plans to keep a low profile are derailed quickly when she meets Xander Matthews- a cocky, infuriating, and undeniably attractive bad boy who seems too interested in finding out what's behind her cold, guarded demeanor. Although Ruth loathes him, she cannot help but be drawn to the inexplicable intensity in his eyes. But trusting people is not an option for her. Not when the killer she's running from is still out there. But despite every nerve ending in her body telling her to keep him at an arm's length away, she can't ignore the connection she feels every time he pushes against the walls she's so carefully built. As their interactions become more fervent, she struggles to deny their fiery chemistry which makes her mind spiral with questions. Can her heart learn to find refuge in him? And if so, will he still want her when he unveils the dark secrets she's been hiding? Or will it become too dangerous for the both of them? That's a risk she doesn't want to take. But when the lies start to unravel, Ruth must make a choice: keep running, or finally confront the past that has been holding her hostage.

Madison is a reserved girl with a comfortable yet uneventful life back home. She has good grades, a loving sister, and a father who's intent on her living her life to the fullest. But as soon as she arrives in Portland, thousands of miles away from her safety net, she's caught off guard by Archer, her new housemate. With his intimidating brown eyes, clipped replies, and mysterious demeanour, Archer is bound to wreak a little havoc whether she wants him to or not. He doesn't want her to pick up the pieces of his broken self as many have tried and she doesn't plan on upending her new life for a boy who won't even spare her a glance. Over time and amidst the various little white lies and destructive mistakes, they continue to hide their feelings. She wishes to protect her newfound friendships and he wishes to battle his demons alone. He'll promise her he needs her when no one's around to hear then insist there isn't anything between them when suspicions start to raise. Faced with situations she could only dream of and challenges she thought she'd never overcome; she has to hold herself together while her world crumbles around her. Will Madison throw caution to the wind and risk losing everything for someone who wouldn't do the same for her?
