Breaking Through Shadows
An emotional slow-burn romance about healing, courage, and the power of connection.

Sophie has spent her life living in the shadows of abuse, hiding scars no one else can see. Trapped in a cycle of fear and silence, she dreams of a way out but doesn't know where to start. When she crosses paths with Liam - the school's brooding bad boy with a reputation no one dares challenge - her carefully guarded world begins to unravel.

Liam sees more beneath Sophie's quiet exterior than anyone else ever has. As their paths intersect in unexpected ways, a fragile friendship forms, built on unspoken truths and the hope that they can save each other. But trust is a fragile thing, and breaking free from the past takes more than courage - it takes someone willing to stand beside you through the darkest moments.

Slowly, painfully, Sophie and Liam discover that sometimes the hardest battles lead to the brightest light. Breaking Through Shadows is a story of resilience, redemption, and a love that breaks through even the deepest darkness.

FALLEN FOR A BAD BOY {BAD MEETS BADDEST} by OMALOVESRED
57 parts Ongoing
She witnessed horror... and became one. After surviving a harrowing near-rape and watching her best friend brutally assaulted and murdered before her eyes, Aurora vanished-emotionally. What rose from the ashes was someone unrecognizable: Cold. Fearless. Savage. Untouchable. She trusts no one. Loves no one. And as far as she's concerned, no man alive could ever break through her fortress of ice. Love? Dead. Her rules? Simple. No emotions. No attachments. No second chances. But her new college? A battlefield. And him? Leonard Grande - the kind of trouble she didn't prepare for. Wounded. Rebellious. Addictive. Dangerous. A walking paradox with a face carved by gods and a soul damaged by demons. A notorious playboy who takes pleasure in breaking girls, shredding hearts like paper-because he believes every girl is a liar in disguise. Until Aurora. She doesn't look at him like he matters. She doesn't fall. She doesn't even flinch. And that pisses him off. Now it's war. A toxic game of destruction and seduction. She wants to erase him. He wants to ruin her. But when secrets from the past start surfacing, both realize they've been walking in the dark... and maybe-just maybe-they were destined to collide. How deep do their scars go? And who's really pulling the strings in this web of pain and passion. Dive into a dark college romance where love is a weapon, trust is deadly, and only the strongest survive. When bad meets baddest... there are no rules. Trigger Warning: This story contains themes of sexual violence, emotional trauma, murder, psychological manipulation, and abusive behavior. Reader discretion is strongly advised. Some scenes may be distressing or triggering to survivors. ©2025
BLAKE by WiktoriaForevelOff
23 parts Ongoing Mature
Blake Turner has one goal: survive the next eighteen months, get her diploma, and disappear. Everything else-her boyfriend, her friends, her once-perfect life-is already gone. All that's left is endurance. Eighteen more months of keeping quiet. Of hiding the truth about what happens behind closed doors. Of pretending everything is fine when nothing is. She can make it. She has to. Liam Cole doesn't do attachments. Not when loyalty to his crew is the only thing that's kept him alive these past two years. Dragged into gang life too young, his world is built on violence, loyalty, and nights that end with no names exchanged. His past haunts him. His future? Already decided. His heart? Off-limits. Hardened. Untouchable. But when he crosses paths with the school's most hated outcast-the quiet girl everyone whispers about-everything he thought he knew begins to unravel. But some secrets refuse to stay buried... And when the truth finally breaks free, it leaves no one untouched.

Quiet soul by latenightreeads
26 parts Complete Mature
Aria is a survivor whose will to live has been extinguished. Years of continual, brutal abuse at the hands of her boyfriend and his friends have systematically stripped her of everything: her voice, her will, and every flicker of human emotion. She is a shadow, a quiet soul trapped in a body she can no longer control. When a routine noise complaint brings Officer Roman Gray to her apartment, he finds a scene of pure nightmare: Aria, tied up and gravely injured. Roman gets her out, but the danger is far from over. To remain safe while her abuser is hunted down, Aria must stay under the protective custody of the compassionate officer. The only problem? Aria won't speak. She won't cry. She shows no reaction, no relief, no sign of the person Roman is so desperate to believe is still inside. Roman has sworn to protect her body from the outside world, but can one man's patience and empathy ever hope to reach a mind so deeply traumatized? Or is Aria's quiet soul already too far gone to save?
