Amelia Nelson swore she would never come back.
Once she was wild-sneaking out with Grayson Williams. Then overnight she was gone.
Her parents called it salvation-a place meant to cure wayward girls of their temptations. A summer turned into three years. Three years of cold beds, endless prayers, and punishments to break her will.
Now she's home, hands folded, head bowed, the perfect picture of redemption.
But when she meets Grayson's eyes across the church, she knows its useless. He sees through the act. Sees the cracks. Sees her.
Because no matter how far she ran, the past will never really let her go.All Rights Reserved

With time running out, Lucian must make an impossible choice: to forsake his nature and defy his own kind or to protect Amelia by walking away forever. But love is relentless, and some destinies cannot be rewritten. In a world where darkness reigns, Amelia and Lucian will fight for a love that was never meant to exist, even if it means facing death itself.

Hurricane Love by ARNovels

☑️Completed☑️ 🥇1st Place in Teen Fiction | The Aspirants Awards🥇 "Ryker sighed and swiped his face frustratedly with the palm of his hand. 'Look, I'm not interested in having this conversation with, you, Amelia,' he said, looking everywhere but at me. 'It's time for you to leave because I have a train to catch.' 'You know what, Ryker?' I said, my voice weak and soft as I tried to stop it from shaking. 'I think I've figured out the real reason they call you The Hurricane; they come into people's lives unannounced and uninvited and destroy every single thing in their path before they decide to leave again, without a clue or care for the devastation they leave behind.' Ignoring the haunted expression on his face as he took in my words, I spun on my heel and walked out the door, hoping to never see the piece of shit ever again." Life hasn't been easy for 16-year old Amelia Woods. Most of her life she spent being passed around the foster care system until finally being adopted by her parents and moving to the quirky little town of Richmond where she met her dream boyfriend Mason Miller. Life couldn't be better for Amelia - then arrives Ryker Jordan; Mason's childhood best friend who disappeared from town years ago and decides to make his return. He is obnoxious and arrogant and the very definition of a rebel; someone that Amelia finds herself hating with a passion and she has no idea how he gets under her skin so easily. As much as Ryker gets on her very last nerve and makes every effort to annoy her, there comes a point when she realises that he is just like her in many ways she did not realise and slowly but surely, Amelia finds herself wanting to know more and more about him. What she does not realise, is just how life-changing her curiosity is going to become and that once she lets herself go there, there's no coming back.

Discover Love by Doodlly

Amelia was working in her dream job. Good job, good pay, and good boss! Then, something changes and life takes an unexpected turn. Welcome to the unpredictable journey of Amelia. Preview ******** "Don't provoke me Amy" He groaned, his eyes darting towards my lips. "ugh? Wha? - what did I do now?" I almost crocked as I wet my lips again. "This" He swooped down to capture my lips. It was not a gentle kiss. It was hard and passionate and I couldn't do anything but be melted. My core throbbed as my hands went around his neck to clench his hair. His heat engulfed me and just when I thought my knees will give away, suddenly everything went cold. "Wha-t huh?" A moment before we couldn't have enough of each other and now, he was standing away, near his huge window, staring at me. "Please leave Ms. Wilson" his voice was tart. I couldn't believe we were back to the last name basis. "How dare you?" I was furious. "Tone, Ms. Wilson" His lips were a thin line. "Then behave, Mr. Holden" I straightened my dress and hair and turned on my heel. *************************************************************************** Greetings, Thank you for giving this book a chance :) Please read, comment and hit the Star :) --Cover pic credit to squammie.wordpress.com/

Saving Alyssa by AnikaQ

No one sees her. No one knows her. Alyssa Williams is the girl who fades into the background, the one who slips through the hallways unnoticed. She wears her black hoodie like a shield, her face hidden in the shadows, always on the edge of the crowd. She doesn't want to be seen. She doesn't want to be known. Because if anyone were to truly look, they'd see the fear in her eyes, the bruises that don't heal, and the story she's terrified of telling. Her life is a quiet war she fights every day-against her father's fists, against the memories that threaten to consume her, and against the world that's turned its back on her. She's learned to survive in the silence, to hide from the chaos that swirls around her. But when she decides she's had enough, and tries to run away from the nightmare that is her home, she finds herself crashing headfirst into something-or rather, someone-who might be even more dangerous than what she's running from. Dylan Scott. The bad boy. The bully. The one everyone stays away from. His presence is a storm, and his reputation is as dark as the night. He has a group of friends who don't question his actions, a life filled with secrets, and a world where no one dares to get too close. Everyone warns Alyssa about him, but she's already seen the worst the world has to offer. So when their paths collide, she's not sure what to expect. Will Dylan help her escape the hellhole she calls home-or will he drag her back into it? The truth is, Dylan Scott is hiding as much as Alyssa. He's trapped in his own battle, with his own demons, and just like her, he's been running from something for far too long. But when his and Alyssa's lives intersect, everything begins to unravel. The walls they've built around themselves begin to crack, and neither of them can ignore the pull between them. The question is: will they be able to save each other, or will they destroy each other in the process?
