Ivy Blythe has always been sunshine-the girl who grew up with frosting on her hands, the scent of sugar clinging to her skin, and a life carefully iced to look perfect. A steady boyfriend. A new job at Saint Dymphna's Psychiatric Hospital. A future everyone tells her is bright.

But dreams don't lie.
And hers won't stop taking her back to a boy she almost remembers... and a night she's tried to forget.

Inside Saint Dymphna's, she feels his eyes on her. Rowan-her most dangerous patient. Beautiful in the way broken glass is: sharp, jagged, impossible to look away from. He knows things about her life no one should know. He speaks to her like he's known her forever.

Everyone tells her to stay away. Rowan swears he only wants to protect her.
But protection and possession blur in the dark, and some obsessions don't fade with time.All Rights Reserved

The Quiet Between Us by xitsonlyfiction__

Ivy Raines is a contradiction wrapped in smoke and velvet - witchcraft in her veins, heartbreak on her tongue. She's spent years trying to rebuild herself after burning her past to the ground... but one ghost keeps crawling back through the cracks. Nathaniel Cole. The boy she loved, destroyed, and made into a man who still trembles at her name. He was her first believer - her confession, her temptation, her undoing. She took his virginity, his faith, and his peace of mind, leaving him with nothing but guilt and memory of her touch. Now, years later, they talk like friends. They smoke, they laugh, they pretend. But the air between them still hums with electricity - an unspoken promise neither of them can stop breaking. Ivy wants redemption. She wants to be more than the sin he hides in the dark. Nathaniel wants her body, her defiance, her chaos - everything but her heart. Their connection is a slow burn of obsession, guilt, and hunger - a love that feels like worship and punishment all at once. Each cigarette, each stolen glance, each whispered word threatens to pull them back into the fire they swore they'd never touch again. But desire is a religion. And they've always been devout.

Midnight Rain by saraaaa_010410

"He set fire to the world around him but he'd never let a flame touch her" ~{}~ Reign Davenport. Danger radiates off of him. He kills without hesitation, always leaving ruin in his wake. A man like him could never afford to be gentle, let alone be someone's savior. All it took was an unlucky night, red hair and sea glass green eyes, for him to become someone's solace. A light in his dark world, and somehow a coldblooded killer like him became the light in someone else's. A killer who once killed for himself would now only kill for her. The daughter of his rival. Ivy. His Ivy. (Recommended reading on your phone instead of a laptop/computer)
