The Line We Crossed by The_CrazyCatLady

THE RULE: Don't fall for your best friend. THE PROBLEM: Liam Cruz. He was my anchor. The one person who understood the mess of blueprints in my head and the frantic beating of my heart. For two years, we had one rule: don't ever cross the line. Our friendship was the most important foundation in my life, and I would never risk it. But then came one party, one rival, and one lie. And the line we were never supposed to cross is the only thing I can see. The space between his bedroom and mine is ten feet of unbearable tension, and I'm not sure how much longer we can pretend not to feel the heat. What happens when your sanctuary becomes your battleground? (Author's note: Hey guys 👋 I have finished writing the whole novel! Hope you enjoy it!)

All the Waters of the Earth by lesliemcadam

Romance novelist Lucy Figueroa lives a life of the imagination. While her stories are filled with fictional alpha male heroes, her real life is filled with nothing but Mr. Wrongs. As a sassy, strong, single mom, she doesn't need anyone... except maybe a new book idea. And to forgive herself for the mistakes of the past. Lucy's sexy new neighbor, Jake Slausen, looks like one of her characters come to life. While he fits the heartthrob part, he doesn't act it, too distracted by his cell phone and his job for any relationship. Damaged by his childhood, he's ignored his true calling and goes through his days on autopilot...until he meets Lucy. First drawn together by chemistry, then by a fierce need to protect each other even from themselves, will Jake and Lucy learn to accept their pasts or will they convince themselves that happily ever afters only exist in romance novels? This is Book 3 in the series. It's standalone and HEA. If you want to read my books in order, they are: 1. The Sun and the Moon (Ryan and Amelia) 2. The Stars in the Sky (Will and Marie) 3. All the Waters of the Earth (Jake and Lucy) WARNING: MATURE CONTENT. SEX AND SWEARING AS PER MY USUAL And, I'll note, that if you ship Jake and Lucy you get Jucy or Juicy.

His only Star ; Concordia Syndicate series book 1 by xyczsvi

Filled with passion, tension, and unspoken desires, this dark romance explores the fine line between love and hate, family loyalty and freedom, and the unbreakable bond of two people forced to fight their demons together. *** Ambrosia Joy Lockwood and Liam Tyler Stanfield were inseparable as children, bonded by their mothers' deep friendship and their own innocent promises. But when tragedy struck on a trip to Switzerland, taking their mothers' lives, everything shattered. Liam abandoned her when she needed him most, and the bond between them turned to bitterness. Now, at 25 and 28, they're trapped in a marriage neither wanted, orchestrated by the mafia ties that rule Ambra's life and the calculated ambitions of Liam's father. Ambra is fiery, stubborn, and haunted by the weight of her father's expectations, while Liam is a brooding enigma, his charm laced with darkness, his loyalty unwavering but selective. As they navigate their new life together, old wounds resurface, forcing them to confront the shared pain and resentment that has defined their relationship. Ambra's father, a ruthless mafia boss, sees her as a weapon, trained to kill but hidden behind a façade of elegance. Liam's father, while cold, is kinder-until their worlds collide in a way that tests Ambra's loyalty and Liam's capacity for forgiveness. Amid the chaos of bloodlines and betrayal, Ambra and Liam are drawn to each other in ways neither can ignore. But with secrets, lies, and dangerous family expectations threatening to tear them apart, they must decide if love can bloom from the ashes of hate-or if their marriage is destined to end in ruin.
