Jessica's life changed the night her brother Freddie ripped her away from the only home they'd ever known - a place full of bruises, secrets, and silence. Now, in a new town with new rules, Freddie's doing everything he can to give her the life she deserves. Even if it means dodgy money, fake smiles, and keeping her under lock and key.

But Jessica's not the same girl anymore. She smokes on windowsills, holds her own in fights, and falls a little too fast for the boy with bloodied knuckles and a bad reputation.

Torn between loyalty, love, and a history that won't stay buried, Jessica learns that in this town, nothing's simple - not revenge, not rumours, and definitely not feelings.

her brother said no boys in her ear as the boy from across the street lit her a cig and told his heart to her in the other.

A Stranger To Him by JosephineFlorence

This book needs editing, the first chapters aren't very good, but the story gets better as you read on! There was only one thing that Amelia White needed to do. Be invisible and never draw the attention of five boys. She has been avoiding them ever since she knew who they were, and she's not planning to be part of the game those boys play. At least, that was the plan until her feet changed it for her. Bumping into Caine Williams is not exactly the way you stay unnoticeable for those boys. She detests an emotionless, narcissistic, and selfish asshole. He's the most attractive boy she's ever seen, but he has a terrible personality. Everything just seems like a joke to him. Hopefully, this journey of heated conversations and stupid fights turns out to be positive, and there's no need for any more hearts to shatter. Nevertheless, bad boys are unpredictable and dangerous, and there will be no insurance for broken hearts and unfixable relationships. But there's no need for insurance if the hate Amelia feels towards him is stronger than the tiny piece of possible love she feels in her heart, right? Caine will definitely regret opening the chase on her when he finds out it's not worth it. At least, that was what Amelia thought. Bumping into Caine Williams was certainly not the plan. That's the only thing that's for sure. Amelia knows that she can say goodbye to the plan of staying invisible, thanks to her clumsiness, and she'll have to say hello to his world with trouble and problems. You didn't think he would let her be, now would you? ©JosephineFlorence, All rights reserved

Cold Eyes by koni0lolli

Her world had never been soft. She'd learned too quickly that people could love you one day and rip the ground out from under you the next. So she built herself out of armor: cool smirks, careless words, the lie that she didn't care. She convinced everyone around her that she was untouchable, that she didn't need anyone to stay. That way, if they left, it wouldn't matter. But the truth was, she longed for the chaos. She trusted it more than stability, because at least chaos was honest. At least when something was toxic, when it was tension-filled and dangerous, you knew exactly where you stood- you knew it could hurt you. What unsettled her more was the idea of something pure, something kind, because that was where betrayal liked to hide. He's cold. She's reckless. And somewhere between jealousy, secrets, and a Halloween Party that changes everything Athena learns that sometimes the scariest thing isn't being hated. It's being wanted. *** Writing for my bestfriend!

𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐲 by ddignity

When shy bartender Elliot is approached by a handsome stranger on a park bench at midnight, their unlikely attraction unravels everything they know about themselves, and the crime-ridden city around them. *** Elliot Taylor is running out of places to hide. Trapped between a ruthless father, a dead-end job, and a future that feels just out of reach, he spends his nights on park benches clinging to one goal: get into college and get out for good. What he doesn't plan on is Noah Black. Vice President of the Stray Dogs Motorcycle Club. Infamous. Observant. Relentless. Far too charming for a man with a reputation for violence, and determined to pry into wounds Elliot would rather pretend don't exist. Through chance encounters and sleepless nights, the two can't seem to avoid each other. But Noah's life comes with complications: a motorcycle club under pressure, threats closing in, and loyalties that crumble when tested. As Elliot drifts deeper into Noah's current, he cannot help but realize how dangerously close he's falling -- even as deadly secrets threaten to unravel everything they've fought so hard for. Soon, Elliot must face a choice: keep chasing the life he's always dreamed of, or confront the truths that could shatter everything he knows... including his past, his heart, and the man who refuses to let him go.

Knife's Edge by moxie_writes

With a drug lord for a father and an addict for a mother, Jade Taylor was dealt a pretty shabby hand in life. Her childhood was spent in a constant state of fear, her only solace being her two half-sisters -- Charlotte and Bailey -- who were forced to live the nightmare alongside her. But things all changed when their father got sent to prison. Eight new social workers and five foster families later, the girls finally found their home. Now, at eighteen, Jade is counting down the days until her exams are over, excited to spend a stress-free summer with her boyfriend, her two best friends, and her forever family. Unfortunately, things don't always go to plan -- not in a town like Greencliff. Upon meeting the Coleman brothers -- a family that fits so well into the 'gang' culture she so desperately wants to avoid -- Jade finds herself teetering on the edge of a blade, carefully balanced between the life she wants and the life she wants to escape. And when she catches the eye of Lucas Coleman, the eldest of the brothers, it's only a matter of time before she falls. Only one question remains: Which way will she land?

The Cunning (18+) by CLHarper

Everything changed the night they took her. Ripped from her mundane life, Madison is thrust into the violent world of trafficking, where her only choices are adapt or die. Her captor, Jase, is as cruel and relentless as the men who pay him. Cold, calculating, and fiercely loyal to the underworld he serves, he likes to be in control. But Madison was never going to be anyone's average victim. Beautifully cunning, she ignites something lethal within Jase. As the lines between predator and prey blur, Madison is drawn deeper into Jase's dark orbit, as he finds himself captivated in ways he can't afford to admit. In a world where trust is a death sentence and love is a punchline, there are no heroes, only the willing and the unwilling and Madison needs to decide just how willing she is before her time runs out. *

Beneath the Bridge by siriusstarsgirl

She's fighting to survive. He's given up on caring. But when their worlds collide, neither of them will ever be the same. Aria Delaney has mastered the art of pretending. Pretending her home isn't crumbling under the weight of debt, neglect, and anger. Pretending the bruises on her heart don't exist. By day, she's the straight-A scholarship girl who keeps her head down and her books close. By night, she escapes to a secret bridge in the woods-her only real safe haven. Jace Callahan is everything she hates: wealthy, reckless, and untouchable. Tattooed, motorcycle-riding heartbreaker of Linwood Academy. Everyone either wants him or wants to be him. But Aria only remembers the boy who slammed a door in her face after mocking her father's firing-then dragged her name through the mud on her first day at her new school. They're enemies, plain and simple. Until forced proximity, simmering tension, and late-night run-ins start to blur the line between hate and something more dangerous. Because beneath the smirks and insults, both of them are hiding secrets. And when broken meets broken beneath the bridge... Something unbreakable might just form.

Lie to Him, Moan for Me! by whwrite

PERFECT LIFE. PERFECT BOYFRIEND. All it took was his best friend transferring back to turn her world upside down. Maya has everything she's ever wanted-a devoted boyfriend, a steady future, a love story that's supposed to last. Liam is safe, familiar, right. Then Nathan shows up. Liam's best friend. Cold, sharp, impossible to ignore. From the start, he gets under her skin, challenging her, frustrating her-tempting her in ways she refuses to acknowledge. She hates him. He doesn't like her either. At least, that's what they keep telling themselves. But tension has a way of unraveling, and some lines-once crossed-can never be undone. "We shouldn't," he breathes against my lips. But he doesn't move away. "I don't care," I whisper back... 🔥 Mature Content | Slow-Burn | Enemies to Forbidden Lovers 🔥

The boy who once protected her has become cold, distant, and impossible to read. If he hates her, Lilah's determined to hate him right back. But the more secrets unravel, the harder it becomes to ignore the truth: the line between love and hate is paper-thin.
