Zach Westbrook was my best friend-and the boy I'd secretly loved since forever. Until he said the one thing I was never supposed to hear.

So I did what any heartbroken, humiliated girl would do. I ghosted him. Ditched the university we both planned to attend. And left without looking back. Our friendship ended the day I left town. Or so I thought.

Three years later, I'm back. Not because I want to be, but because family comes first-and unfortunately, that means transferring to Ridgewater University.

The same school Zach owns like a second skin. Still hot. Still cocky. Still the campus golden boy with a hockey stick. And still the last person I want to deal with.

But I'm not the shy, awkward girl he used to know. I've changed. I've moved on. I'm no longer the girl who used to follow him around like a lost puppy.

This time, I'm not the one getting benched.All Rights Reserved

HARD FEELINGS by AuthorKatya

I didn't wake up one morning and decide to fall out of love. It was slower than that. Quieter. No big affair. No lipstick on the collar. Just a slow erosion of "us" every time he chose her over me. This isn't a love story. It's a resignation letter. And I signed it with a smile.

Unloving Mr. President by serineriaserenade

"I like you, Mr. President." Iyan ang madalas bukambibig ni Sariah Loralie Calliope kay Conrad Archer-the most popular model student in their campus, superhero ng lahat, at higit sa lahat, ang kaniyang nag-iisang childhood crush at first love. Since the first day she mets him, she already knew that he is her destiny. Kaya naman ginawa niya ang lahat mapansin lang ng binata. Pero palagi naman siyang nire-reject nito. Hindi tuloy malaman ni Sariah kung ano pa ba ang dapat niyang gawin magustuhan lamang ng taong gusto niya. She was a popular beauty, pinagkakaguluhan ng maraming lalaki, nagmula sa mayamang pamilya, she has it all, pero pagdating kay Conrad, isa lang siyang normal na babaeng pilit pinagsisiksikan ang sarili sa taong hindi naman siya gusto. Ngunit paano kung ang dating 'I like you' ay magbago? What if Sariah forgets about him, turning her young and sweet love into hatred? Will she continue to pursue her longest desire to win his heart? Or she will soon keep her distance, forget, and unlove him, her unrequited love?

Heavenly Sins Series #1: Ruled by Fire by MsButterfly

My life before was just like my name, Haven. Everything was peaceful, everything went my way, and I had everything that I needed. If I wanted something, I'd have it in a snap. I didn't need to move, make an effort, or work for it. I just needed my daddy's tiny rectangular card that might look insignificant but carried the world on its little sharp edges. Money might not equate to happiness, but it certainly made life easier for me. And yet a year later, from heaven I was dropped into my version of hell. Now, I'm standing in the aisle of a grocery store, wondering if I should just buy another batch of instant noodles because I don't want to waste money-money that I barely have to begin with-on food that will just end up being barely edible. Was that the hell I'm talking about? No. It's working unbelievably long hours just to get paid basically nothing, and wanting to buy food to eat because I haven't had one meal for the day, only to end up having a gun on my head. Oh, and before I forget-kidnapped! At a grocery store! My version of hell? It's the tattooed, hot-headed Italian and head of a secret criminal society, Allessio Cascella.

No Redemption Road - Book 1 of The Redemption Road Series by natderouchie

A raw, trauma-forward story of survival, found family, and the fire that comes after the fall. Remi Carter never meant to fall for a biker. She didn't plan to walk into a club war. She didn't expect to be hunted, silenced, or broken. But when the life she's built is torn apart, when violence leaves scars deeper than skin, Remi is left with nothing but rage, memory, and a will to survive. Set against the backdrop of a fractured motorcycle club, a tight-knit trauma clinic, and a ranch that offers refuge to the women the world forgot, No Redemption Road is not about being saved. It's about what comes after. After betrayal. After assault. After losing the life you thought was yours. This is a story of women who fight. Of found family. Of love that doesn't fix you, but chooses to stay when you're at your worst. It's the slow burn of healing. Of facing the monsters who stole everything. Of burning it all down, and still choosing to live. This is not a romance with a tragic twist. It's a trauma story with no promises. But at the end of the road... maybe there's still a way home. This is book one in the Redemption Road Series of interconnected stories following different characters surrounding NRR. ⚠️ Content Warning: This story includes themes of trauma, sexual violence, emotional abuse, and psychological manipulation. Remi's journey includes scenes of assault and survival. These events are portrayed with care, never glorified, and written to reflect the raw truth of what she endures.
