The Veilborn: Love Written in Shadows by Whalien52

🖤 Back Cover Blurb ‎Seventeen-year-old Anora has always been a curse. Shadows trail her every step, and misfortune clings to those closest to her. Death, accidents, and whispers of bad luck have made her an outcast in her family- a ghost in her own school. She wants only one thing: to belong, to be loved, to feel safe from the terrors no one else can see. When Kaelen, a Dark Fae feared even among monsters, discovers her, he sees more than a lonely girl. He sees power-power enough to raise him above his enemies and make him untouchable. His plan is simple: deceive her, use her, discard her. But Anora isn't what he expects. Her sharp tongue, her fragile hope, and the strange pull of her presence unsettle him in ways centuries of bloodshed never could. What begins as a game of manipulation becomes a snare of his own making. As Anora's eighteenth birthday approaches, the truth of her nature begins to unravel: she is Veilborn-neither mortal nor fae, but something far older, meant to stand between light and darkness. And loving her may cost Kaelen not just his schemes, but his very soul. A story of forbidden love, unraveling fate, and a girl cursed to walk in shadows- The Veilborn: Love Written in Shadows is a darkly romantic tale where love is both sanctuary and doom.

You Talk Too Much by han8n_akayourdarling

Nicolas didn't want friends. Didn't want attention. Definitely didn't want her. But then Lina sat next to him. Every. Single. Day. She talked through the awkward silences, laughed at her own jokes, and asked questions he never answered. She was chaos in sneakers and bubblegum lip gloss - and he wanted nothing to do with her. ...Until he did. Because somehow, her noise started drowning out the thoughts he didn't know how to escape. And her voice became the only thing that made the silence bearable. This isn't a love story. Not at first. This is a story about a boy who lost his spark... And the girl who wouldn't let him disappear quietly. ✅ Nicolas ✅ Lina ✅ "You Talk Too Much" ✅ High school setting ✅ Healing + chaos + slow-burn (Btw I forgot to add that there will be no smut of any kind in this story. Maybe an innocent kiss or something but nothing else)

The Shadow of Comparison by AGR2808

"Growing up in someone else's shadow taught me one thing: finding myself was the hardest-and most beautiful-journey of all." School was supposed to be easy-a place to learn, laugh, and grow. But for her, it quickly became anything but simple. 🌿 Everyone around her seemed brighter, bolder, better. Every whispered compliment, every small success she didn't have, made her question herself. Slowly, the shadow of comparison began to follow her everywhere. Then college arrived-bigger, more dazzling, and full of surprises she never saw coming. Friendships that challenged her, choices that tested her, and moments that made her heart ache in ways she didn't expect. Could she navigate this new world without losing herself? From quiet school corridors to late-night reflections, from self-doubt to self-discovery, this story is about growing up, facing unexpected twists, and finding the courage to step out of the shadows. If you loved "The Goodbye We Never Said," you'll recognize the familiar struggles and heartfelt moments-and maybe even find yourself rooting for her as she learns to shine in her own light.

Lessons of the Heart (TeacherxStudent - wlw) by cbooks_30

It was never supposed to mean anything. Just a fleeting moment. A beautiful mistake, soaked in midnight and quiet desperation. One night to forget the rules. To taste freedom in the arms of a stranger. To let go without thinking of the morning after. No goodbyes. No consequences. Only touches that lingered too long, and memories etched into skin like whispers. But fate doesn't play fair. Because when Mia stepped into her classroom that Monday morning, time didn't just stop. It held its breath. And there she was. The stranger from that night. But not draped in shadows this time. No, now she stood in the light. Composed. Commanding. Off-limits. Her new English teacher. Their eyes met. A flash of recognition. A pause too long to be innocent. Mia's heart stumbled in her chest. The room faded, voices dulled, the world narrowed to just her. The woman she wasn't supposed to see again. The woman who now held her future in the palm of her hand. And maybe, just maybe, still remembered everything.
