Will he be able to handle what happens when his best friend Levi decides he's tired of standing back from the forbidden Kali?

Forbidden Pleasures by bourbonvanilla

ʻʻWhat's forbidden is always the sweetest.ʼʼ This is a story where you're going to hate him. You might even hate her. The two people who are doing something very wrong in other people's eyes, but to them it's the most right thing they've ever done. He consumes her whole. He's a bastard and she hates him at times. But there's a thin line between hate and love. And she can't help herself but fall in love with him. Even if her love should never happen, even if she loves the man she should never have. He's not the man for her, she's not the woman for him. Yet they still let themselves get sucked into the depth of forbidden pleasures.

Labyrinth by peneloperosewrites

Every step she takes leads to new complications, and the deeper she goes, the harder it is to escape. In this journey of self-discovery, forbidden feelings, and impossible choices, Molly must navigate the intricate web of love, family, and loyalty. But in a labyrinth of emotions, will she find the way to her heart's desire, or will she lose herself along the way?

Blossom by MaryRose_Author

A scandal. A stranger. A slow-burn game neither of them is ready to lose. Sienna Parker built a life out of being perfect. Picture-perfect, camera-perfect, brand-perfect. But after her glamorous engagement implodes in the most public way imaginable, she escapes to the English countryside to lick her wounds alone. At least, that was the plan. What she finds instead is Julian Livingston: a modern-day Duke with old-money manners, devastating restraint, and a stare sharp enough to see straight through her curated world. He's infuriatingly unreadable. Ridiculously attractive. And absolutely not part of her recovery plan. But when two people who refuse to be vulnerable keep circling the same emotional battlefield, tension becomes its own kind of intimacy. With every encounter, the line between sparring and seduction begins to blur. Behind the barbed words and stolen glances, something deeper brews, something neither of them is ready for. She's all chaos and deflection. He's all composure. Together, they're a slow unravel waiting to happen. If you love emotionally charged banter, aching tension, and two fiercely guarded hearts trying not to fall, Bloom will consume you. ***Content Warning*** This story contains mature themes including sexual content, emotional manipulation, morally complex relationships, cheating, and adult language.

His Eyes on Me by latenightreeads

Sienna knows the rules. You don't look at your best friend's boyfriend. You definitely don't sleep with her ex. But one blurry, liquor-soaked night at a party, all those rules went up in flames when she woke up next to Cade. Cade was the other half of Reign's two-year relationship-a relationship that's been over for months. Sienna should be racked with guilt, ready to bury the mistake and pretend it never happened. But the problem is, the feelings she and Cade unearthed that night are too real, too electric, and they refuse to stay buried. Sienna has always put Reign first. How can she tell her best friend that the secret, passionate connection she now shares with Cade is something she can't walk away from? Cade, however, has no such reservations. He knows what he wants, and he's been wanting Sienna even when he was with Reign. He's ready to fight for her, even if it means destroying the one thing Sienna values most: her friendship. Torn between the man who makes her heart race and the best friend who owns a piece of her soul, Sienna is caught in an impossible choice. How far is she willing to fall for a forbidden love, and can a relationship built on a betrayal ever truly survive?

The Line Between Us by Shellwriting7

Very first story ever..... After losing her parents, Lila Calloway grew up in her best friend's house-protected, loved, and watched over like family. She was never supposed to fall for Ethan, her best friend's older brother. Ethan knows the rules: Lila is too young, too close, too off-limits. But the more he tries to bury his feelings, the stronger they burn. Every laugh, every fight, every stolen moment only pulls them closer to a line neither of them should cross. Now Lila is eighteen, and the truth can't stay hidden. Families will judge. Friends will question. But some love is too powerful to ignore-no matter the cost. A forbidden, coming-of-age romance about family, desire, and the line that changes everything.
