War is hell. But falling for your enemy? That's worse. Margaux Smith wasn't supposed to be in Afghanistan dodging bullets and breaking bones-not according to military protocol, anyway. But she's not like anyone you've ever met. She's a combat-trained hacker with more scars than secrets and a middle finger permanently raised to authority. She came to the front lines for one reason: to prove she belongs where others say she shouldn't.
Deckard and Owen Shaw are cold steel wrapped in a British accent and a permanent scowl. They're ruthless, disciplined, and deadly-everything Margaux can't stand. And unfortunately, they are his new partner. When a mission goes sideways and they're forced into hiding behind enemy lines, sparks fly. But not the good thing.
They're fire power. She's chaos.
Together, they're a ticking time bomb waiting to explode.
Enemies on the battlefield. Lovers in the shadows.
In war, trust is earned in blood-and love might just get them both killed.
Welcome to Burning Steel-where the guns are loud, the tension louder, and falling in love might be the deadliest mission of all.
Trope: Enemies-to-lovers.

Love At Lazy Duke's - An enemies to lovers, cowboy romance.
LOVE AT LAZY DUKES is live and ready to steal your heart (and maybe throw a punch or two first). She's a wild barrel racer with fire in her eyes. He's the grumpy cowboy who runs the local bar. Their history? Complicated. Their chemistry? Unavoidable. When Montana rolls back into town, the last thing she wants is trouble-especially not the kind that looks like Abe Duke. But sparks fly, tempers flare, and love might just be the biggest rodeo of them all. If you love small towns, slow burns, banter that bites, and cowboys who fall hard, this one's for you. She came back to town to race barrels-not fall into bed with the grumpy cowboy who broke her heart. Montana's wild, whip-smart, and impossible to ignore. Abe's broody, built like sin, and owns the one bar she swore she'd never step foot in again. Too bad sparks fly hotter than a summer bonfire the second they're in the same room. Enemies? Absolutely. Lovers? Eventually. Trouble? Oh, definitely. Dirty looks turn to dirty thoughts in this steamy small-town standoff. He's all grit. She's all fire. Together? They're combustible. Grab your boots and bring a fan-you're gonna need it. This story will be on Galatea in September. And no longer available in full here on Wattpad.Complete

Moonlight Kisses
"Why are you doing that!" she whisper-screams while her eyes flit to the other guys, who are now immersed in something else that isn't us. I kiss that spot again, making her whole body shiver. It's oddly entertaining to watch what my slightest movements do to her. Usually it takes a lot more for a girl to unravel this way, but her breath hitches each time I go to kiss her neck. I could only imagine what my hands could do to her body. "You still didn't answer my question," she huffs harshly. And still she hasn't pulled away from me. Had I been any stupider, I'd say Jordyn was actually enjoying herself. If she hates this so badly, why hasn't she asked me to stop? [] In August, Jordyn Reeve starts attending Crestview Prep and not long after strikes a deal with Beau Clemonte, an arrogant, rude boy who happens to be the thing that can give her what she wants: his best friend, Jake Amherst. Of course, everything worthwhile must come with a price. Despite her outright opinions, Jordyn makes a deal with the devil. Or at least that's what that's what she saw at first -- a coldhearted, stubborn asshole that cared even less than she did. Her only intention was to see this out to get the guy. However, it wasn't that simple for Beau. Cover created by: @meha-k Started October 2020 Completed January 2022Complete
