Quinn Carter has spent her college years hidden behind  oversized hoodies, and a relentless pursuit of academic perfection. She's the girl who blends into the library walls, with dreams of success that leave no room for distraction-or danger. But all that changes when Jacob "Jax" Rivers, the campus's notorious bad boy quarterback, crashes into her life with the force of a tidal wave.

Jax lives for the thrill-on the field and off. A walking temptation with a devil-may-care smirk, he's used to getting what he wants. But Quinn? She's a challenge he's never faced before: a girl who doesn't swoon at his charm or quake at his darkness. When their worlds collide, sparks ignite, revealing the secrets both of them are desperate to keep hidden.

Quinn is drawn to Jax's raw intensity, but his world is anything but safe. As she falls deeper into his dark orbit, she discovers he isn't just the player everyone whispers about-he's a man with desires that push the limits of control and pleasure. And Jax? He quickly realizes that behind Quinn's quiet exterior lies a fiery strength that could break him.

What begins as a clash of opposites spirals into an intoxicating dance of power, trust, and surrender. But as their passion grows, so does the danger. With every secret they share, they risk losing themselves-and each other.

In this dark romance of shadows and seduction, Quinn and Jax will learn that love isn't about taming the darkness but finding someone who will embrace it with you.

It started on Wattpad but now is EVERYWHERE with an upcoming film adaptation by Wattpad WEBTOON studios coming to Tubi. Stay tuned for film release updates! In the meantime, read the original story that inspired the film. KISSING IS THE EASY PART is being published and will be out on November 18, 2025 Please pre-order from the link in my profile. *** Being beautiful might as well be Flora Morgan's only talent. Some of the words she hates include economy class, second-hand clothes, and budget. She likes fashion, dating, not being on time and getting what she wants - until she meets Sean, who is like the clock striking midnight; he erases all her magic power. He is as mature and sophisticated as the dark roasted coffee he drinks, while she is like a lollipop: colorful, dazzling on the outside but empty calories and artificial sweeteners on the inside. The attraction is instant, but getting a kiss is only the first step. To keep their fire burning, they must accept each other's differences and decide if what they're building is strong enough to survive trials, jealousy, expectations, and the fear of becoming someone they no longer recognize.

The Bubbly Heiress of Chaos by PoisonTheSandwing
62 parts Ongoing
She's a little rabbit amidst a pack of hungry wolves. A prey amidst a pack of predators. A flickering light amidst a jungle of darkness. Her kindness is her vulnerability, a soft heartbeat in the face of merciless, sharp fangs. Yet, in the midst of this peril, there's a quiet strength, a glimmer of innocence that refuses to be extinguished. She may be small, but they aren't the only ones with secrets. How does one go from being a normal 15 year old with the best family she could ask for to being the unknown daughter of a billionaire? From skipping through life like its a path of roses to finding danger in every breath she takes? From dancing to baby shark as she walked home to playing video games in a private jet? Ask anyone, they would say she is a combination of water and fire. A shimmering river that will flow in whichever way you direct her and also a blubbering stumbling fool that might or might not burn down a building if left unsupervised. In her defense the ground is 'madly in love with her' and danger is a 'clingy ex'. Welcome to the life of Palak; a carefree overthinker, a sensitive rock, a withering laughing fool. She doesn't break, but she sure as hell is covered in bruises. This is Palak. An oblivious Mafia Princess. The Bubbly Heiress of Chaos. Will she be able to keep her smile or will she end up loosing it forever?
