But after a recent fall, her grandmother needs a caregiver and as Dylan recently dropped out of college, she's the perfect girl for the job. So now, after years of deliberately staying far away, Dylan is back and determined to interact with the town, its people, and the tragedy that took place there as little as possible.

Off Day: Love Triangle (Book 1) by JamesWoodro

He rushes behind a car as I'm shooting at him as he's shooting while running away. "Imma Kill You Manny!" I growl at him angrily as I keep firing shots as my gun clicks. "Fuck." I grumbled as I duck behind a car as well. I take out my magazine as I started to load it quickly not caring about my finger prints being on them. He reloaded as well as he must've had a extra clip because he immediately started firing again. Glass shattering as Shayla was laying on the ground balled up. --------------------------- "Nobody told you to beat up Manny! That's your fault." I tell him as we started to calm down now. "Nobody told you to fuck him either." He tells me as I shake my head at him tearing up again. "Fuck you James! You fucked my best friend. YOU GOT HER PREGNANT!" I tell him as he sits there in silence. We both do. five minutes go by of both of us not saying anything. So I do. Two wrongs don't make a right, but what can you expect from teenagers?. James, Shayla, and Nina all become circumstances to the choices they each make. But down here emotional decisions can cost you your life. Viewer discretion is advised.

Drugs, Treasons and Other Demons by HappyCoati

WATTYS 2023 SHORTLIST Sarah Kennedy's life has fallen to pieces. Her family is broken, she's growing apart from her only friend, and it's been a while since she's stopped dreaming about anything better. She embarks on a trip to Latin America, joining a retreat she hopes will mend her dwindling friendship and escape her miserable day-to-day life. Bad turns to worse, and her hopes are shattered when she is kidnapped by a cartel. While her life is miraculously spared, she's kept captive by a daunting and narcissistic drug lord, Pablo. As his obsession with her grows, so do his favors and promises. Sarah soon finds herself in a gilded cage, living a life more lavish than anything she's ever imagined. But all that glitters isn't gold, and this luxury has a price. If Sarah wants to escape the violent, treacherous, and cocaine-fueled world of cartels, she'll have to fight the demons that keep her captive, as well as the monsters in her head, armed with nothing but a dry sense of humor and a fragile strength. But as she and Pablo both know- it's a long journey home when you don't have any home to go to. _____________________ DTOD is marked as mature for strong language, drug use, violence (and also dark humor) and the occasional steam/smut. Trigger warnings are included before sensitive or explicit scenes. _____________________ "Drugs, Treasons and Other Demons, a niche erotica for people who like men who keep their socks on." "A book that will make you cry whenever you hear a Pitbull song." "By the time I finished reading this whole book, I could have read the entire Hunger Games saga. But I would have had a lot less fun." "I went to read a few chapters of this book one night, and all of a sudden a whole weekend went by on me."
