Some loves save you. Others destroy you.
Skyler lives a double life - the perfect smile in public, but behind closed doors, her soul is crumbling. When she meets Troy, a boy with too many scars and nothing left to hide, her world shatters... and is reborn.
What follows isn't a fairytale romance. It's toxic. Obsessive. Addictive.
She loses herself trying to fix him.
He falls deeper trying to keep her.
But how do you love someone who's forgotten how to love themselves?
And what do you do when the mirror you've both been looking into shatters - and the pieces cut too deep?
A haunting story about passion and pain, about love that burns until there's nothing left, and the strength it takes to walk away from someone who feels like home... but hurts like hell.

What If I Was Nothing?
They loved hard, fought harder, and broke quietly. Ryan and Hannah were supposed to last - the kind of love that survives slammed doors, sleepless nights, and promises said in the dark. But love, as they learned, doesn't always fade in one clean motion. Sometimes it unravels, thread by thread, until you wake up beside someone you no longer recognize. After years of trying to fix what was already gone, Hannah walked away. Ryan stayed - until the silence between them became too heavy to bear. Years later, Ryan has rebuilt his world. A new home. A wife who makes him laugh. A baby boy who carries his smile. He's finally found peace in the wreckage. But when Hannah reappears one morning, holding all the words she never said, both are forced to face the truth: love doesn't die - it changes. And sometimes, the hardest part isn't losing each other. It's learning to live with what remains.Complete![White Gardenia [TANKHUNNONSEE/OFFGUN]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/360139814-256-k873030.jpg)

Free Sample: To the world, Oakley Miller shines. She's a rising track star. Fierce. Focused. Untouchable. With the Olympics in sight, she has no time for distractions-especially not the kind with tattoos, a bad reputation, and eyes that seem to see through every wall she's ever built. Justin Walker fights for a living. In the ring, on the streets, against the demons that never quite left him. Fame came fast and left scars. He doesn't do soft. Doesn't do complicated. And he definitely doesn't do girls like her-the kind that look like they've got everything, and yet carry a silence heavier than fists. But when Oakley becomes part of Justin's world, the collision is instant. They challenge each other. Hurt each other. Need each other in ways neither of them are ready to admit. Underneath the tension is something real. Something dangerous. Because neither of them has ever known love that didn't come with bruises. In a world obsessed with perfection, Oakley is slowly unraveling. Haunted by a past she won't speak of, and a future that demands more than she has left to give. And Justin-he's the only one who sees the cracks beneath the gold. But loving someone who runs isn't easy. And trusting someone who fights to push you away might be impossible. Golden Doesn't Glow is a gritty, emotional romance about two broken souls drawn together by pain, pulled apart by fear, and held together by something neither of them fully understands. It's about trauma that lingers, healing that hurts, and the fight to be loved without falling apart. Because not every golden girl wants to glow. Sometimes, she wants to survive.
