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.

(This story's about chaos, loyalty, and falling for someone when your whole world's already on fire. So if you're here for soft love, you're in the wrong place. But if you're here for real and raw,  please do read)All Rights Reserved

B R O K E N by TheeLoverGirlyTae

Zaire isn't the type of man people dream about. He's the one they whisper about. The one mothers warn their daughters to stay away from. He's sharp edges, sleepless nights, and a past too heavy to carry. On the outside, he's all rage and silence. On the inside, he's drowning-haunted by mistakes, chained by loyalty, and convinced love isn't made for men like him. Then Imani comes crashing into his world. She's light where he's darkness, but she's got scars of her own. And no matter how many walls he builds, she keeps finding the cracks. Zaire doesn't know if she's the cure he's been running from...or the wound that finally destroys him. Because in his world, love isn't soft. It's survival. And sometimes survival leaves you BROKEN.

Shattered Asylum by milxlover3

She escaped a house full of monsters... but she never stopped being hunted. I thought I escaped the worst of it. But some monsters don't stay in the past. After years of surviving in a house that only knew cruelty, sixteen year old Aven is sent to live with her grandparents in a secluded town hidden deep in the forest, gorgeous, quiet, and filled with people who act like nothing bad ever happens there. The kind of place only the rich can afford to live. The kind of place that almost feels like peace. Almost. She wanted a fresh start. A chance to breathe. What she didn't expect? Grayson. He's charming, brooding, and way too interested in her. The kind of boy girls fight over... and they do. But there's something off about him. Something he isn't saying. And her past comes crashing back, violent, messy, and impossible to outrun. Aven realizes her new life isn't just fragile. It's built on secrets. Love. Lies. Loyalty. Survival. Aven's never been safe. She's just been watched. And no matter how far she runs, the people she escaped from keep saying the same thing: "You'll always be mine." ***** Complete!!! I will be editing this book! So if some things don't add up... sorry.

The Way We Were by AnonymousBobis

After her dad dies, Poppy moves with her mum and younger brother to Cambridge, a city too polished, too perfect, too far from the girl she used to be. All she wants is to disappear, to become a ghost slipping unnoticed through crowded corridors and quiet streets. But ghosts aren't meant to be seen. And they're not meant to fall in love. When her brother strikes up an unexpected friendship with the sibling of Jamie, a boy who seems to have everything, Poppy is pulled into a world she never asked to enter. Their connection flickers to life in the spaces no one else notices: glances that linger too long, conversations that belong to no one else, touches that feel like secrets. It's private. It's dangerous. It's theirs. But Jamie has his own reasons for keeping her hidden, and Poppy knows the moment their secret slips into the light, it could shatter not just her careful invisibility, but everything they've built together in the dark.

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?

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.

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. *

Always There by maddyxmarie

'"You're a liar. You're a dirty fucking liar," I sob. Despite the fact that I want nothing more than to run away from the man standing in front of me, I know that my grip on his hands is the only thing that's keeping me stable right now. "I didn't lie, sweetheart. I just avoided the topic. If you had figured it out before, I would have told you everything," he claims, pleading with me. I shake my head frantically at him, trying to get the images and thoughts out of my head. "I feel betrayed," I choke. "I don't know if I'll be able to trust you ever again." 🌸🌸🌸 Bryce Bradshaw and Lexi Brooks are living their dream together in New York City. Everything seems to be going well for the pair until Bryce loses control of the secrets that he's keeping. A secret that Bryce has been desperately hiding from Lexi is released, and it seems as if Lexi's world is crumbling as she fights to forgive Bryce. Their love for each other may be strong, but it seems as if no amount of love can make up for the poor decisions that Bryce has made in his past. Eventually, Bryce and Lexi find a way to move past this hurdle, but this seem to come at the cost of their happiness. 🌸🌸🌸 'Something There' Book #3
