Between sarcasm, secrets, and stolen moments, falling for Damien was the easiest bad decision Nate ever made.
Nate's life? Not fine. Diagnosed with bipolar disorder, he's trying to keep it together one day at a time. But then there's Damien-walking chaos in human form. Charming, cocky, and hotter than the sun, Damien has this talent for getting under Nate's skin like no one else can.
Worse? He's tempting. Like, moth-to-a-flame tempting. And those stolen glances Damien gives-like Nate's the most precious thing on earth? They're not helping.
Damien is off-limits and trouble-a heartbreak in human form, the ultimate fuckboy. But resisting him? Feels impossible. And if Nate's not careful, Damien might burn his whole world down-and Nate might just let him.

Love Impact ✔️
The last thing Valencia expected was to crash into Damien's life--- literally. Riddled with the guilt of almost costing Damien his life, Valencia agrees to nurse him back to health by living with him for 6 months. But living with an arrogant, handsome stranger might be harder than she expected. ____________________ I had my back turned to him, so I couldn't see his expression. But his breathing was heavy and hot against my skin. He placed hard kisses on my back with his hand wrapped around my stomach to hold me in place. I gasped at the warmth of his kisses. "Why do you own something like this?" He asked coldly. "I-I bought it for a date," I stuttered out. A small bite on my back made me shoot up with a small yelp. "You were going to wear this for some other guy?" Damien's voice dripped with jealousy. "And what if I was?" I mocked, indulging in the stinging I felt where his lips touched. "Then you need to be punished," he said in a low voice. MATURE: Depictions of sex, violence, and profanity #1 in Books #1 in Cute #1 in Comedy #1 in Funny #2 in Hot #4 in Love #5 in DramaComplete

𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗠𝗲 𝗔𝘁 𝗠𝗶𝗱𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁・❥・Maddy Perez & Nate Jacobs, Euphoria
"𝑆𝑜𝑚𝑒 𝑔𝑖𝑟𝑙𝑠 𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑡𝑎𝑢𝑔ℎ𝑡 𝑙𝑜𝑣𝑒 𝑖𝑠 𝑝𝑎𝑖𝑛. 𝑆ℎ𝑒 ℎ𝑎𝑠 𝑡𝑜 𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑛 𝑖𝑡 𝑖𝑠𝑛'𝑡." Iris has always known how to survive. At eighteen, she's everything East Highland thinks she is-reckless, untouchable, the girl with a reputation she doesn't bother correcting. She laughs louder, bites back harder, and never lets anyone get close enough to see what's underneath. By day, she's just another senior counting down the days until graduation. By night, she becomes someone else entirely-someone who dances for money, not attention. Someone who does whatever it takes to keep a roof over her head and her little sister safe. No one knows the truth. Except Maddie. Maddie Perez has always been there-closer than anyone, closer than Iris ever lets herself think about. Their friendship has never had boundaries. It's messy, magnetic, and blurs lines Iris refuses to define. Because defining it would mean risking it. And then there's Nate Jacobs-the one habit Iris never managed to break. Toxic, consuming, and impossible to ignore, he knows exactly how to pull her back in. With him, it's chaos. It's fire. It's everything she's learned to mistake for love. Caught between something real and something familiar, Iris is forced to confront the one thing she's spent years avoiding: Maybe love isn't supposed to hurt. Maybe the hardest thing she'll ever have to do... is choose something soft.
With Things We Can't Have
"Fuck you," I cried out, retracting my hand to inspect my injured finger. The small, throbbing pain was a reminder of our confrontation. "See? You can't help but play the damsel in distress." His large hands enveloped mine, inspecting my injured finger with surprising gentleness. Victor's touch ignited both irritation and an inexplicable warmth within me as he rubbed the sore spot with a tenderness that caught me off guard. "You just can't help it." He pressed a soft kiss to my palm, leaving me momentarily stunned as he released my hand. "Sit down and take a few deep breaths." ___________________________________ Determined to rebuild her life, Lilan faces challenges with resolve, supporting her family and friends while seeking her own identity. Amid emotional turmoil, she navigates a complex relationship with her childhood friend's brother, torn between unresolved feelings and the past. Join her on this journey of resilience, love, and self-discovery, as she learns to embrace her strength and aim for a brighter future.
Plan Of Seduction
"I hate you - so much Tripp." More confusion because, once more, wasn't this a good thing? "Why did you have to say that? What if," A little quieter, just above a whisper. "What if we mess up our friendship?" "But what if we don't?" "You don't know that," I bumped his nose with my finger. "And neither do you. So, why don't we give it a shot?" He bit down on his bottom lip, hesitation and worry filling his gaze. __ This is literally a story that follows the plot of two best friends realizing their feelings for each other, yes, I know, very cliche, but I enjoyed writing it. There will be mature LGBT+ content, so if you don't want to read those chapters or this story, skip it.

Irresistible Sin...
Eva never thought her father's decision to send her to live with her uncle Damien for college would turn her world upside down. The distance from home seemed ideal at first-until she stepped into Damien's house and realized how dangerously close she would be to the one man who had always been a constant in her life. Damien, a successful and charismatic businessman, has always seen Eva as family-but that was before she grew into a stunning, independent woman. Now, every glance, every touch between them feels charged with an electric tension neither can deny. Forbidden desire simmers beneath the surface, threatening to consume them both. As the days pass, their attraction intensifies in ways that neither can control. What starts with heated glances and lingering moments quickly escalates into something far more dangerous. Torn between guilt and longing, they find themselves unable to resist the burning desire pulling them closer. Each stolen moment feels like a sin, but it's one they can't walk away from. Caught in a web of passion, secrecy, and a love that defies everything they've ever known, Eva and Damien must face the inevitable question: Can they fight the pull of their irresistible desire, or will they surrender to it, no matter the cost?Complete
