She came to New York to dance.
He stayed to disappear.
Lana Reeve has spent her entire life mastering control-over her body, her future, her heart. Becoming a contemporary dance star was never a dream. It was a promise.
Elliot Cruz only plays his guitar on Saturday nights in a forgotten bar, where music hurts less than memory and no one asks him to be more than he already is.
They were never meant to meet.
They were never meant to want.
But when ambition collides with obsession, and art begins to bleed into desire, lines blur between passion and destruction.
Some love stories rise.
Others unravel-slowly, beautifully, and painfully.
She dances to survive.
He plays to forget.
And together, they might ruin everything.

This Angel Broke My Demonic Heart
Anya Tanaka is every bit the A+ student-the soft-spoken angel of Northwood High. With her crisp uniform always perfectly in place, dark glossy hair tied in a neat ponytail, and eyes that gleam like quiet moonlight, she's the kind of girl who smiles when returning library books and paints sunsets for fun. Romance? Please. She's way too busy crushing exams and acing life. Then there's Silas Hayato. Tall, lean, unfairly gorgeous-with lavender-white tousled hair, half-buttoned shirts, and that stupidly irresistible smirk. He struts through the halls like he owns them, tie hanging loose, eyes glinting mischief. Every girl's dream. Every parent's nightmare. A professional heartbreaker with a laugh like sin. When Silas gets dared by his friends to make the "untouchable" Anya fall for him-just to dump her at prom-it's game on. Easy target. Easy win. He'll play the part of the perfect prince, sweep her off her nerdy little feet, and walk away victorious. Only... the longer he stays in her world of quiet smiles and heartfelt sketches, the harder it gets to keep up the lie. She listens when no one else does. She notices the cracks beneath his perfect mask. And for the first time, he feels like he's the one being played. Now the lines between act and truth start to blur. And Silas is about to learn- You can't break an angel's heart... without shattering your own.

Lilah
She's a wild, free spirit who sees the good in everyone, and he's the hardened, bad-tempered loner who wants nothing to do with her-yet no matter how hard he tries to push her away, she's the one temptation he can't escape. *** He's never met someone with such a bubbly personality. Not to mention the wildness and odd phrases she says every five minutes. He hates it. He hates how he can't stay away from it. He hates what she does to him; it's not like him to chase after some girl. She gets under his skin like no other. She's never met someone with such a bad attitude. He's ill-mannered and menacing. The glare never seems to leave his face. Considering it all, she can't help but feel the attraction toward him. Dangerous attraction toward a seemingly dangerous man. Maybe it's the tattoos on his arm that gets her attention. Or maybe it's because she can tell there's hope for good under his rough exterior. And she's about to find it, whether he likes it or not. It's no secret that the two of them are complete and total opposites. *** "You like being called Sugar, don't you?" I tease, placing my toothbrush back after finishing. He does the same and gives me a side-eyed scowl. He grips my chin harshly and kisses me. My body temperature raises a good ten degrees and my right leg goes all wiggly. He pulls away. "You like it when I kiss you, don't you?" He teases the same way I did to him and I'm left blubbering. "I think both of our questions are rhetorical," I lower my voice up at him. His lip curls up into a smirk. *** #1 in Young Adult #9 in Badboy #1 in Cold #3 in Goodgirl #1 in Sweetheart #14 in Love *** *Warning* This story contains mature themes (language, scenes)Complete

Southern Pride BWWM WMBW
Nashville was loud with music and full of restless nights, but for Sonia it was more than a city-it was a crossroads.

With Shayla at her side, the friend who could turn any night into a story, she found herself pulled into places she never planned to be. That's where Colton came in-twenty-six, the kind of Southern charm that could feel dangerous, with boots that looked as bold as his grin. Their first run-ins were quick, almost forgettable, but the spark lingered. He was loud where she was guarded, curious where she was cautious. In a city where everyone seemed to be chasing the spotlight, Sonia never thought she'd catch his attention-or that he'd catch hers.
