Unintended Consequences by eim1993

"You just have no idea." His voice was thick with restraint. "W-what," I breathed. His gaze flicked to my lips as his thumb stroked again. The calloused pad against my soft flesh sent goosebumps down my arms. His once warm eyes were dark as they lifted and bared into my soul. "What you do to... men." His husky whisper weakened my knees. I almost fell but his other hand settled on my hip, pulling me closer to him. "What you do to me," he added on a breath. The hand on my jaw shifted. His fingers left trails of tingles as he slipped them back slowly, under my earlobe and into my curls. *************************************************** As a young girl, Charlotte Avery's favourite pass time was daydreaming about her Prince Charming: Archer Johnson.

What More? by NyraAshvale

Eight years, two lives, one question: can they finally get it right? Jordan Quinn was never supposed to come back. Not after everything she built - the oceans she crossed, the walls she raised, the things she swore to bury. But when a work opportunity she can't pass up drags her home, she finds herself face-to-face with the one person she ever let close enough to break her. Jaxon Carter thought he'd moved on. He's got the law firm, the house, the clean-cut life. One that looks nothing like hers. One that doesn't leave room for chaos - especially not the kind with blue hair and a mouth full of fire. But when Jordan reenters his world - uninvited, unannounced, unforgettable - the perfectly ordered future he built starts to crack. Now forced into each other's orbit again, Jaxon and Jordan are dragged back into the mess they once made of each other - and the question they never answered. Is loving each other still a mistake - or the only thing that's ever made sense? Because some ghosts don't haunt you. They own you.

What If? by NyraAshvale

Neither of them is looking for more, but sometimes the heart doesn't play by the rules. As their worlds begin to blur, one question haunts them both: What if?

Wrecked and Wild by vn_wrts_

A singer with a bad reputation. A basketball star with everything to lose. One wild night in Vegas that changes everything. She's the music industry's most infamous troublemaker-sassy, scandalous, and untouchable. He's the king of the court and a single dad, more worried about his teenage son than tabloid drama. They couldn't be more different, and they definitely don't belong together. But when a drunken night in Vegas ends with "I do," their lives turn into a whirlwind of paparazzi, fiery arguments, and sparks they can't ignore. Forced to face the chaos they've created, they'll discover that the line between love and hate is dangerously thin-and sometimes, wrecked and wild is the only way to live.

Almost Was by eclipha

Allison Monroe thought she understood love. In high school, it looked like Cooper Hayes-a senior lacrosse player with a grin that could tilt the world. What started as friendship slipped into something more, a talking stage stitched together by football games, playlists, and dreams of Brown University. They fit like puzzle pieces, but before the picture could ever be whole, they drifted apart. At Brown, fate brought them back together. Allison had grown into her own life-journalist, leader, dreamer-yet every crowded party and quiet glance pulled her back into Cooper's orbit. Their connection was undeniable, but so were the obstacles: old wounds, unspoken words, and Kelsey, the girl who always seemed to come first. Caught between the gentleness he taught her and the ache of never being his first choice, Allison learned that love is not always about endings-it's about the echoes left behind. A bittersweet coming-of-age story about heartbreak and resilience, about what it means to love someone you can't quite have, and how to choose yourself even when your heart wants to stay. Intimate, raw, and achingly relatable, it asks the question: what do we do with the love that lingers?Almost
