The Australian Open has seven rounds, and Olivia Görgen plans to survive every one of them. At 23, she's clawed her way back into the spotlight, her game sharper than ever, her resolve cold and calculated. But no amount of discipline can silence the ghosts waiting just beyond the baseline: the weight of family expectations, the quiet toll of perfection, and the looming match against CeCe Russell, her former best friend now her fiercest rival.
As the pressure builds, Olivia is forced to reckon with more than just her opponents. Enter Marta Kovács, a gruff, reclusive ex-pro who sees through Olivia's stoicism like glass. With her brutal honesty and unapologetic coaching, Marta doesn't just train Olivia, she unearths her. Beneath the pristine composure and surgical precision lies a woman afraid to let anyone in, afraid to fail, afraid to feel.
Each round becomes a war of endurance-not just for the title, but for the right to be seen, broken, and still worthy of love.
Break Point is a gripping, emotionally charged sports drama about the fragility behind power, the cost of greatness, and the courage it takes to confront yourself when the whole world is watching.

Collin Fitzpatrick has suffered from depression since he was twelve years old, crushed by a darkness with no name, living in the shadows of his trauma. A boy who's spent most of his teenage years wishing he wasn't living at all.

Margo's a girl with a wild mind and an insatiable need for adventure. Her parents don't send her to Orchard Hills for its reputation, though. They send her there to get rid of her. So when the boy from 213 and the girl from 217 cross paths, they start to realize that perhaps misery and mental hospitals aren't all there is to life. But even the brightest lights dim, and Collin fears Margo July's light will either revive him or cause his downfall. - All ideas made & produced by me. - updates every Wednesday [Contains profanity and potentially triggering subjects.

Bow-Legged
Shall we do an experiment? Hear me out: an enemies-to-lovers where love is complicated but never toxic. Where the female lead knows what she wants and takes it. Where the male lead doesn't growl, rage or slam her into walls. A journey with all the angst, secrets, spice and heartbreak of dark romance without the abuse. Are you ready? ******************************************** It's 1984, Queen on the radio and rage in the streets. Moira Bourne, stretched thin between her nanny job, family drama and university classes, fights for the recognition she deserves. Evander Ward, fresh from a gap year in Europe and eager to prove himself, is ready for redemption. Two people whose paths were never meant to cross. When they do, the collision blows their life to smithereens. ******************************************** "Pass the tea, will you?". It came over me - it being it all, the shame, the anger, the sense of injustice and the nine hours I hadn't slept the night before. Those, maybe, more than anything else, because I reached for said tea and, possessed by that mighty cocktail of resentment, spat in it. I did so making sure he could see it, he could hear it. Then I passed it over to him and waited. His smile, at this point, had turned overjoyed, putting the previous ones to shame, revealing their graft. He had received the answer he was hoping for. He took the cup and chugged it down. Looked me straight in the eye and drunk it all. ******************************************** Fair warning: mentions of racism, ED, assault, sexism, and classism ahead. You know where your limits lie.

My Aching Solace
She isn't fine like she pretends to be. On the contrary. Liliana Storm Whitlock is shattered into a thousand pieces, used from the ones she loves, betrayed by the ones she loves, broken by the ones she loves. So she lost herself. And it all seems to go downhill after a crucial accident on a winter night. Additionally, her life takes a turn when she decides to leave her hometown, Hemfield, to start her new life at her University and finally enjoy the life she deserves. A fresh start is what she needed. Maybe she isn't the only one. The hockey team at the new university takes quite a keen interest in Liliana and won't seem to leave her at rest. Especially the most arrogant one of them all; Rhys Heartlow. He is nothing else than a jerk when they first meet, but somehow his cold heart seems to warm up to her just enough to make her fall for him. However, even if Liliana seems to find solace in her new life, her past continuously haunts her by tugging her back into old habits no matter how hard she tries to fight and ignore it. And perhaps she shouldn't have closed her eyes on the hints she got, because that would lead her into an icy road that is nothing less but deadly for her heart.

Psychological Fiction Books - TASTE ME SERIES
The Broken Mirror A novel Damien W. Byrnes Prologue: The Shattered Reflection The sky, if that's what it could still be called, looked like torn paper-veins of sickly purple bleeding into black. Mira blinked. The world around her shifted, unfocused, like an old photograph dissolving in water. She had no idea how she ended up here or where "here" even was. She felt as though she had been dropped into a nightmare she couldn't wake from, where time crawled like a wounded animal. Her reflection in the cracked glass before her didn't feel right. The face was hers, but not hers. The eyes looked haunted, like something had gnawed at her soul and left only fragments behind. And as the world around her crumbled, so did she. --- Copyright 2024 Damien W. Byrnes All rights reserved.

Beneath his cocky exterior, she senses the fractures he tries to hide-the same ones she's been running from her entire life. Finn's been through hell, and love isn't part of the plan. He's good at keeping his walls high, locking out anyone who might get too close. But then Lily shows up, and suddenly his carefully controlled life begins to unravel. She's everything he didn't know he was missing, and that scares him more than he's willing to admit. But with their pasts threatening to destroy what they could be, and old friends trying to drive a wedge between them, trust becomes their biggest hurdle. And when a new love interest steps into the picture, everything Lily and Finn thought they were building starts to fall apart. Fighting their demons was never supposed to include each other, but now they have to decide if the risk of heartbreak is worth the reward of finally letting someone in.Complete
