He hides behind sarcasm and sketchbooks. She hides behind lip gloss and a razor-sharp smile.

Carver Hayes is the kind of guy who doesn't get close - to people, to rules, to anything that might see the cracks in his armor. Most of his classmates think he's just another smart-mouthed burnout. And that's exactly how he likes it.

Ashlyn Sinclair has spent her whole life playing perfect - perfect grades, perfect clothes, perfect lies. But behind the polished surface is a girl unraveling under the weight of expectations she never asked for.

When the two are forced into each other's orbit, the tension hits first - sharp, immediate, undeniable. What comes next is harder to explain.

Because some people break you open.
And some people teach you how to survive the wreckage.

Lines Between Us is a slow-burn, dual POV romance packed with sarcasm, emotional scars, and enough chemistry to set fire to every rule they've been told to follow.All Rights Reserved

Hidden between us - wlw by Daylin1Elodie2

Allie lives in silence. May lives in laughter. They were never meant to collide, until a tutoring job binds them together in a secret neither of them can control. What begins as late-night lessons and whispered promises soon twists into something far more dangerous. Rumors spread, truths are hidden, and one careless sentence threatens to shatter everything between them. But when silence falls, and one of them disappears, Allie is left chasing shadows. Was it her fault? Was it ever real? Or were there forces pulling them apart long before either dared to speak the truth? Hidden Between Us is a story of secrecy, longing, and the fragile line between love and ruin. Some things are too dangerous to be spoken aloud, and some bonds are too strong to stay hidden.

From Osaka, With Love by abbydarling20

Hailey Skye Thompson didn't fly halfway across the world for love. She came to Osaka for a one-semester exchange, chasing her dream of exploring Japan while studying industrial engineering. Her goals were simple: survive language class, take cute photos of vending machines, and maybe stop getting lost in train stations. Enter Shun Yamazaki-mechanical engineering major, black sheep of a high-profile political family, and walking Pinterest board in silver rings and a hoodie. Their first meeting? An awkward rescue mission involving tears, croquettes, and a language barrier. Their second, third, fourth? Completely accidental... or so she thought. He's frustratingly charming. She's flustered and totally not crushing. What starts as playful run-ins turns into quiet glances at class, hoodie-lending, flirty texts, and moments she's scared to name. But semesters don't last forever. With her flight back to Michigan fast approaching, Hailey writes a letter she may never send-and wonders if love found in a foreign city can survive the distance. Because some goodbyes feel too soon. And some people feel too right to let go. A love story stitched across time zones, hoodie sleeves, late-night calls, and a goodbye letter never meant to be given. Welcome to the city where it all started- From Osaka, With Love.

Between Us, No Labels by Lalaking-Mahiwaga

Clyd Nicholai Lazaro has always lived a life of order-predictable, comfortable, and safe. Thirty-three, successful, and quietly content, he never imagined that one person could turn his carefully structured world upside down. Aurelia "Lia" Cruz is chaos wrapped in a smile-free-spirited, untamed, and untouchable by rules or labels. She doesn't belong to anyone, yet somehow, she captures everything Clyd didn't know he was missing. When their paths cross, the connection is instant-but complicated. Between them, there are no promises, no labels, no guarantees. Just moments that feel electric, magnetic, and dangerously addictive. As desire and emotion grow, Clyd and Lia navigate the thin line between friendship and something more-testing boundaries, risking hearts, and discovering that sometimes, love doesn't need a name. "Between Us: No Labels" is a slow-burn, contemporary romance about two people learning to surrender to feelings they can't control, in a world that insists on rules they're not willing to follow.

Even After the End by Tailessmermaid

Cassidy Katelyn Jones thought she knew what love was. For years, Sloan-the man who once showered her with sweetness and attention-was everything she believed in. But love turned bitter, promises frayed, and devotion became denial. Even when his betrayals cut deeper, Cassidy clung to the hope that the man she fell for was still there, hidden under the wreckage. Until the day the truth stared her in the face-and she could no longer look away. Reeling from heartbreak, Cassidy stumbles through the quiet ache of her days, convincing herself she can survive on routine alone. Work. Coffee. Sleep. Repeat. But life has other plans. At her favorite corner café, a stranger with storm-blue eyes and a worn leather jacket notices what no one else does: the way her smile has dimmed, the exhaustion she hides behind sharp wit and floral dresses. Killian is nothing like Sloan. Rough around the edges, steady in ways that feel foreign, he asks for nothing-yet offers presence where silence once pressed too heavy. But Cassidy's heart is tangled in years of love and loss. To let go is to question everything she thought she knew about loyalty, forgiveness, and herself. In this slow-burn romance about endings, beginnings, and the fragile space in between, Cassidy must learn that sometimes the quietest moments reveal the loudest truths.
