Some walls are built for survival. Others are meant to be broken.
Louisa has mastered the art of staying hidden in her routines, in her solitude, behind the careful distance she places between herself and the world. Haunted by grief and weighed down by treatment-resistant depression, she's convinced herself that needing others is weakness, and vulnerability is a risk she can't afford.
Then she meets Kellan.
A former foster youth turned passionate elementary teacher, Kellan is all heart-steady, open, and fiercely committed to the kids he mentors. When their paths cross, it isn't fireworks, it's something quieter. Warmer. Like safety.
As Louisa begins to let him in through shared art, tender silences, and late-night porch conversations, she is forced to confront her deepest fear: what if love asks her to be seen?
Told in alternating perspectives, How We Stay is a slow-burning, emotionally rich story about healing, found family, and the messy, beautiful work of learning to love without armor.

Where it Hurts to Stay
💔 Where It Hurts to Stay (Wren Callahan & Leo Montgomery - Book Four in The Hurt Series) She met him before she knew who he was. Then she sat down in his classroom. And everything changed. Wren Callahan doesn't believe in happy endings. Not after her mom spiraled-again. Not after she left L.A. for Denver to live with her brother Dean, trying to finish her senior year without falling apart. She's sharp-tongued, political, impossible to cage- a girl made of wildfire learning how to survive her own sparks. Then there's Leo Montgomery- twenty-one, brilliant, too passionate for his own good. A first-year teacher who still looks more like a heartbreak in denim than authority in a tie. Too young to be cynical. Too idealistic to see the danger coming. When they meet, he's just the stranger who challenges her beliefs, matches her bite for bite, and makes her pulse forget how to behave. She doesn't know he teaches. He doesn't know she's still a student. Their spark is instant. Their chemistry-disaster dressed up as destiny. And when Wren walks into her new classroom and finds him standing there-sleeves rolled, eyes locked on hers every rule that's supposed to save them starts to burn. He's her teacher. She's the revolution he never saw coming. A forbidden, slow-burn, age-gap romance about crossing lines, defying expectations, and falling for the one person you were never meant to love. 🔥 18+ Mature Content Warning 🔥 Contains explicit scenes, underage drinking, and a forbidden teacher-student romance between consenting characters (legal age of consent observed).Complete
Surrender Or Drown-The Siren and The Dark Horse Trilogy: Book One.
Complete but still under editing/Polishing/and some revision towards the end. Bella moved to West Virginia to escape a monster. Brandon went to escape himself. She is fire wrapped in thorns. She's sharp, untouchable, and running from a past that refuses to die. He is leather and silence. He's scarred, and grounded, a boy who learned long ago to feel nothing at all. When their worlds collide, numbness is no longer an option. And control isn't in either of their hands. She makes him feel. He makes her breathe. The more they fight it, the more it consumes them. But what's worse is they're left to accept that some things are terrifyingly inevitable. When a Dark Horse meets a siren, surrender might be the only way to survive being drowned. Because love isn't their biggest risk... obsession is. This story is about two broken souls, bound by trauma and nightmares and how they find common ground in one thing... each other. Despite their denial-Bella and Brandon must choose: let the other in... or die trying to escape. This is a haunting, slow-burn dark romance with a psychological thriller edge. Steamy. Sweet. Thrilling. Action-packed with plot twists and a love that doesn't just pull you in but keeps you locked in. Intimate and emotional and definitely written for a mature audience. Book one of S.O.D is packed with just enough dark humor to keep you scrolling until 3 a.m. My fresh take on cliche dark romance. (18+ guys!

Shattered
BOOK 4 COMPLETE Kaden is the Beta of Blackstone pack, and while fated mates are part of his world, he never gave much thought to finding his own, or at least he didn't used to. Kaden goes off on a long run to get away and feels a strange, indescribable pull. As he moves farther into California, he finds his mate, but what should be a happy moment is shrouded in darkness as he ventures into her world- a world of darkness and danger unlike anything he's ever experienced. Violet's been labeled a genius and prodigy ever since she was a child, and she hates every moment of it. After escaping from the limelight, she lives in a world of secrets and fear- fear of being found, of being trapped like she was before. She keeps everyone else at a distance and tries to drown the grief and the pain of her past and present with self-medication until the day she can finally get the justice she's worked so hard for. Promises she made years ago stay fresh in her mind and she does everything she can to keep them, even if it means crossing the boundary of legality. Her trauma-engrained mind won't let Kaden get close to her without precautions but as she looks into his life, she finds things that aren't adding up and make her question what he's hiding. "Violet?" That single touch made the rest of me feel more alive than I had in years. Under his hand, under the clothes, against my skin, was a scar that contributed to me turning off all feeling, and yet one touch from him and it was all coming back, like I was learning how to be alive again. Maybe not even again, maybe I was learning for the first time. My hands had a mind of their own as they slid down his chest. He inhaled sharply, his hand tightening on my hip. I bit on my lip, knowing this was stupid, but I couldn't stop. "Seven minutes in heaven it is," I said, sliding my hands down his torso, the muscles of his abs tightening under my touch. "But no kissing." "I don't need to kiss you to be in heaven with you."Complete

Book One of Five in the New Beginnings Series. **You do NOT have to read Inhale, Exhale, & Breathe to enjoy these stories** #1 in bxb tag: 09/21/2024 #4 in friendstolovers tag: 9/21/2024 CYRUS PIERCE: I'm content in my almost soundless world. I prefer to live through the romance stories I weave and post online. Hardly anyone reads my books, even if they're free, but I do have one fan, and he's supported me since I started writing two years ago. Except, my writing started to take a depressing dive when I realized that you simply couldn't prevent nor protect your heart from falling for someone. For him. For the one who had no interest in me. When I fell in love with him, I thought we had a chance. It was an accident. Turned out, I couldn't be more wrong. He doesn't want me, and I wasn't supposed to have him. It didn't matter if he showed up in the bookstore every day, talking to everyone else except me. Nor did it matter at all because he didn't know sign language. He couldn't learn. We couldn't communicate. But after I go on a date and it ends in putrid disaster, he makes his appearance known, and he's angry. Then he's doing things for me that confuse me. My stories are filling up with pages of content, dreams that I want to come true, and my mystery commenter encourages me to continue-to reach my happiness. To take what I want. But the activities planned start sparking familiarity-like I lived it before, or maybe dreamed it. Or maybe, just maybe, I'd written it before? My mind is spiraling, but I can't stop myself from getting closer and closer to him. I'm not supposed to have him, but my heart craves him. Sage Monroe, I'm in love with you, and I'm scared now because I have a feeling that you've been communicating with me in more ways than one.Complete

Stay a Little Longer
Not all love stories are loud. Some are quiet... almost silent. They unfold between unspoken glances, gentle pauses, and moments that nearly didn't happen. Elina once believed that love should fix things. That it was supposed to sweep in like a storm - mend the broken parts, rewrite the past, and make everything whole again. But life doesn't always come with neat endings. People she thought would stay forever slowly became memories with soft edges. Now, she hides behind sarcasm, rain-soaked hoodies, solo sunsets, and old letters she never had the courage to finish. Then there's Timmy. He's the boy who never knocks. He just appears - with sleepy eyes, two different socks, and a way of handing her tea like it's a love language. He never asks her to smile. He just sits beside her, even in the silence... especially in the silence. He doesn't try to fix her. He doesn't try to understand every scar. He just stays. When she pushes, he doesn't pull. When she hides, he waits. He's patient with her quiet days, her weird jokes, her sleepy eyes, and her unpredictable moods. Their story isn't about grand declarations or cinematic kisses in the rain. It's about slow mornings, sleepy conversations, and soft reminders that you're allowed to be loved without performing for it. This isn't forever. This isn't perfect. But it's something real. Fragile... but real. A soft kind of love. The kind that whispers - not demands. The kind that says: 🌿 "I'm not asking you to be okay. I'm just asking... can I stay? Even if it's just a little longer?" And in that quiet in-between, where fear and hope meet - they find a home in each other. --- ✨ Hashtags ✨ #StayALittleLonger #SoftLoveStories #TimmyAndElina #AestheticLove #LoveInTheSilence #QuietRomance #EmotionalFiction #HealingTogether #BookTokLove #TikTokReads #InstagramStorytime #HeartfeltTales #StoryOfUs #LetMeStay #SoftBoyEnergy #WarmVibesOnly #VulnerableLove #HoldOnTogether #FictionThatFeelsReal
