Because beneath the smirks and insults, both of them are hiding secrets.
And when broken meets broken beneath the bridge...

Boys Don't Cry
Crestwood Academy: where legacies are born, secrets are currency, and scholarship girls like Luna Ferreira don't survive - they endure. Luna's only goal is to keep her head down, ace her classes, and prove she belongs at the elite academy where power drips from every marble pillar. But the moment she collides - literally - with Arien Andersen, everything changes. Arien is cold, untouchable, and ruthless. He rules Crestwood like a king in designer suits, with a last name that makes professors flinch and students obey. He also has a best friend - Luna's brother - which makes him strictly off-limits. Too bad no one told Arien that. She's fire. He's ice. And in a school where loyalty is bought and enemies wear diamonds, one thing is certain: If Luna wants to survive Crestwood... she'll have to stop running from the boy who watches her like a storm about to break. And if Arien wants to keep his throne? He'll have to stop wanting the girl who could burn it all down.Complete
What we weren't meant to be
She wasn't supposed to fall for him. He wasn't supposed to care. When Maya James, a stubborn, working-class engineering student, meets Leo Harrington, the privileged son of one of London's most powerful families, sparks fly - the bad kind. He's arrogant, reckless, and everything she swore she'd stay away from. She's outspoken, independent, and the first person who's ever dared to stand up to him. But beneath Leo's polished surface is a world Maya was never meant to see - street races, underground fights, and secrets that could ruin them both. Every argument turns into tension, every glance lingers too long, and every touch burns a little too much. Then there's Aiden Rowe - Maya's safe, steady classmate who offers everything Leo can't: peace, safety... a future. But some connections aren't logical - they're magnetic, dangerous, and impossible to ignore. They both know they're a bad idea. They both know how it ends. But when the heart wants chaos, fate doesn't stand a chance. Enemies to lovers. Forbidden attraction. Underground adrenaline.
My Boyfriend's Brother
Some love stories begin with a kiss. Others begin with a lie. Elisa Kai never meant to fall for the golden boy next door. Damien Jackson was everything she wasn't-effortless smile, easy confidence, and the kind of charm that made the whole world orbit around him. Elisa? She was the quiet girl everyone whispered about-the one who stared at the Jacksons' perfect life from her window, convinced she didn't belong in their world. Convinced she didn't belong at all. But then, she crossed a line. And Damien chose her. For a while, it felt like a dream. Like she was finally more than just the rumors. But every fairytale has a shadow. Drake Jackson is that shadow. Damien's younger brother is sharp where Damien is soft, chaotic where he's calm-and he watches Elisa like he knows exactly what she's hiding. He's arrogant. Infuriating. Always one step too close with a smirk that drives her insane. And worse? He never goes away. When Damien leaves for college, everything changes. Drake becomes the new king of the school while Elisa is fighting to make a name for herself in fashion. And what was once teasing turns into something darker. Something magnetic. Then Damien comes back. Now Elisa is caught between the boy who made her feel seen-and the one who never stopped watching. Old sparks reignite. New tensions boil over. What started as a simple love story begins to unravel into something far messier, far more dangerous. Secrets simmer beneath the surface-about the past, about what's real, and about the Jackson brothers themselves. And then...tragedy shatters everything. What follows is heartbreak, silence, and blame. As the rumors grow louder, the whispers get crueler, and her world spins further out of control, Elisa must face one truth: Sometimes, the person who saves you... is also the one who could destroy you. And not every love story survives the truth.
