*UNEDITED*
Adriana Kingsley is the kind of girl who says sorry too much and trusts too easily. She's gentle, fun, and always trying to be what everyone else needs her to be. But life has a way of pushing even the softest hearts to their breaking point.

Lorenzo Cole is blunt, brooding, and rarely impressed. He keeps people at arm's length and likes it that way, especially when it comes to girls who come from money and picture-perfect families.

When Adriana shows up on her older brother's doorstep, she isn't expecting to share a house with strangers. She isn't expecting the noise, the chaos, or Lorenzo. But what starts as discomfort turns into something deeper. Because in the middle of clashing personalities, reckless games, and a house that feels like home... she might just find the one thing she's never had.

All Along by DivineDiana96

"You didn't notice me back then. And now? Now that I've learned to stop waiting for you... suddenly you see me." Book 1 Serena Hart spent years being invisible to Lucas Thorne-her brother's best friend and the man she once loved in silence. Now, working under him on a high-stakes trip to London, she's no longer the quiet girl he overlooked. She's grown, guarded, and done waiting. Lucas built an empire on control, but nothing prepares him for the woman Serena's become-or the guilt of realizing everything he failed to see and say. As sparks reignite and old memories surface, their connection grows into something neither can ignore. Sometimes the hardest thing to face is the person you never meant to hurt. And even after love finally finds its way in... some heartbreaks are still waiting to be survived. ‼️PSA- Before reading, please read all tropes! This is an age gap romance and starts as a childhood unrequited crush. If you do not like age gap romance or any of the other tropes don't read it‼️ 🎧Far away -Nickleback🎧

King of Harts by BingingsAnonymous

Emory Hart is a simple woman. She loves her family, enjoys her trips to the book store and to the coffee shop and she can never turn down her best friend when it comes to random nights full of chaos. She's content. All it takes is one run in with the one person she never seemed to win over and a surprise visit from her brother to shift Emory's whole world on its axis. After two years of successfully avoiding him, Emory's "simple" and "content" are about to morph into something a bit more frustrating and confusing and it comes in the form of her brothers best friend. Adrian Harley is a man of control. He's easy going and has charmed his way into the hearts of the entire Hart family. Emory has always been his biggest challenge. It's not because he can't win her over with the same easy going routine he uses with everyone else. It is simply because he can't find himself wanting to. No, what Adrian seeks from Emory is something much more intense. Darker. It's only because of his relationship with her brother that he swallows all of those urges for the sake of his closest friend and his own sanity. When Adrian offers his guest room to his best friend, he comes face to face with the one thing he can't have and his self control begins to snap. Adrian finds himself crossing the one line that was silently drawn when befriending the Harts. The line that leads to the one woman he isn't allowed to want. He's unleashed. Obsessed even. And she thinks he hates her.
