circus firststory lovestory mysterious ringmaster thekylerscircus thriller youngadult youngwriters

"The circus lion follows its ringmaster, not because it's afraid of him, but because it trusts him. Sometimes, trust is the real cage."

The Kyler family used to have it all-fame, fortune, and Isabelle Kyler, the popstar everyone adored. But when Isabelle dies in a tragic accident, everything falls apart. Her twin brother Josiah is left behind, grieving... and searching for answers.

Instead of closure, Josiah is accused of her murder and locked away in a twisted asylum, betrayed by the people who were supposed to love him most.

Three years later, Josiah escapes. With nothing but a list of secrets and a thirst for justice, he disappears, only to reemerge as the mysterious ringmaster of a circus. But this isn't just about putting on a show. The circus is a cover. Each performer is an outsider with a story, and together they form a chosen family. Hidden beneath the lights and costumes, Josiah is searching for the truth... and planning revenge.

What he doesn't expect is her, a girl who sees past his walls and makes him feel something real for the first time in years. But falling for someone while chasing the past is dangerous. Love makes him vulnerable. And in this world, trust is a weapon.

As secrets unravel and old ghosts return, Josiah must decide if love can save him... or if revenge will destroy everything, including the one person who could bring him back to lifeAll Rights Reserved

Journey Back To Me: Learning to live with Borderline Personality Disorder by AuthorJRyan

Lying to avoid explaining the millions of conflicting emotions that dance inside, set aflame. Ringmaster is always unbalanced-not sure how to feel and heal. He never learned how to process despair, too busy to sit with the emotions, care for them, validate them. He pretends to be strong, pushes through the day because no one cares as much as he does. Now you can find out what it is like to survive yourself. In the mental breakdown state of her mind, the emotionally broken girl copes with life's hardships in a cognitive capacity of a modern non-traditional circus. Based on true-life events, my 73,459-word fiction novel is based on real experiences living with borderline personality disorder. A Journey Back to Me: Learning to live with Borderline Personality Disorder is where Ringmaster and the circus performers take the audience on an adventure through mental illness. My book takes place at Planet Janet, a fantasy circus in which the Ringmaster interacts with each performance while interweaving my personal experiences of coping and living with the daily struggles of depression, rage, anxiety, panic attacks, and relationships. Each performer at the circus has a specific act that correlates with how I dealt with each situation.

Through the Ropes | ✔️ by authorGabby

Freya, as the youngest Khatri, takes her role as an aerialist very seriously. It's easy for her to be overlooked, constantly falling into the shadows of her older siblings - so, in order to stay visible and relevant, she trains hard and never fumbles a trick. She doesn't leave room for anything else in her life; she has her trapeze, ropes, and hoops, her family, her three mice, and that's all she'll ever need. Until he comes along. Santiago Stark ran away from home, and has been jumping trains and trucks for the past 3 weeks. With every intention to put his circus tricks to good use, he hitches a ride to the famous Khatri Circus. There, he meets Freya. At first, she's a beautiful, radiant being doing flips off of high ledges and swinging from one side of the room to the other by a single rope. Then he learns she's a Khatri, from the Khatri family, of the Khatri Circus. So he needs to look away. Especially when he discovers how terrified she is of getting close to people, of falling in love. Freya couldn't be more off limits. Why does that make him want her so much more?

Stepbrother's Sin 18+ | Standalone | The Kensington Series - Book 2 by madelynkensington

Without warning, I reached down and gave her ass a hard smack. "That's for spray painting my car," I said. Her breath hitched, and she bit her lip, trying to suppress a smile. "You're such a caveman." "Caveman? How about this?" I said, smacking her ass again, harder this time. She moaned, and I could feel her responding to me, her body betraying her defiance. 𝐄𝐒𝐌𝐄 I was raised to be perfect. The golden girl. The Kensington princess. Sheltered. Untouched. A good girl with a silver spoon and a diamond crown. But then there's 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐛 𝐅𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐧. My stepbrother. My brother's enemy. A man carved from sin, wrapped in arrogance, and dipped in ink. He doesn't ask. He takes. He doesn't chase. He owns. And when he touches me? It's not gentle. It's filthy. It's wrong. I should run. I should hate him. But when he says my name, low and dark, I don't think about stopping. I think about how deep I can fall. Because Caleb isn't just my first sin. He's the one I'll never escape. 𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐁 She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. And I was the bastard here to tarnish it. 𝐄𝐬𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐝𝐚 𝐊𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐨𝐧. Mummy's little princess. The golden girl. The one thing in this world I was never supposed to touch. But I don't follow rules. I break them. And Esme? She was made to be ruined. Soft lips. Delicate curves. A body that begs for my hands. She's innocent, but not with me. I'm dragging her into the dark, making her dirty, making her mine. She thinks she can survive me. Thinks she can walk away untouched. But Esmeralda? She belongs to me. 𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙮'𝙧𝙚 𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙝 𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧'𝙨 𝙘𝙧𝙖𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜. 𝘚𝘰𝘧𝘵 𝘵𝘦𝘮𝘱𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯. 𝘙𝘢𝘸 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯. 𝘚𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘵.
