Some hearts aren't meant to be saved. Only shattered.

Quinn Walker came to college hoping for a fresh start-a clean slate, far away from everything and everyone that reminded her of what she lost. She was supposed to focus on writing, healing, and keeping her head down.

But then she met him.

Noah Thorne is all sharp edges and quiet storms. Arrogant, unreadable, infuriating. The kind of boy who sets fires just to watch them burn. He doesn't care about anyone-or anything-and he makes sure the world knows it.

They were never meant to collide. But from the moment they do, it's chaos. He sees through her carefully constructed walls, and she keeps pushing until he finally cracks. Their connection is messy, magnetic, and impossible to ignore.

But some people aren't looking to be fixed.
And some love stories were never meant to have a happy ending.

A gripping college romance about two broken souls pulled together by pain, and the damage they leave in their wake.
Love doesn't always heal. Sometimes, it ruins you.All Rights Reserved

Not All Triangles Are Strong by aribarahman2941

Emma Beaumont and Noah Cullen have been inseparable since high school, their friendship built on years of laughter, late-night talks, and unspoken emotions. Now, as students at the University of Toronto, their bond remains strong. But everything shifts when they are assigned to a group project with Logan Davis, a charismatic newcomer from California. The trio quickly forms a close friendship, but beneath the surface, emotions begin to stir. Logan finds himself falling for Emma, drawn to her warmth and intelligence. He doesn't know that Noah harbors feelings for her too-feelings he's buried for years, afraid to jeopardize their friendship. Fast forward to graduation, and the three make plans to celebrate. But when Noah is pulled away to take over his father's company, Cullen Industries, Emma and Logan spend the evening together. A simple movie night becomes something more-a deep, meaningful conversation that makes Logan certain of his feelings. He decides he's going to confess. But before he gets the chance, Emma texts him days later with news that shatters his heart-she and Noah are now a couple. Logan is devastated. That same night was supposed to be his moment, but instead, he is left alone with his unspoken love. Unable to handle the pain, he distances himself, ghosting both Emma and Noah. Emma, confused and hurt by Logan's sudden withdrawal, reaches out. When he finally responds, it's with raw honesty-he confesses his feelings but also his anger, his hurt, and his sense of betrayal. Torn between love and loyalty, Emma must face the truth: was her heart always meant for Noah, or did she overlook something deeper with Logan?

My Aching Solace by imemilyyyy

She isn't fine like she pretends to be. On the contrary. Liliana Storm Whitlock is shattered into a thousand pieces, used from the ones she loves, betrayed by the ones she loves, broken by the ones she loves. So she lost herself. And it all seems to go downhill after a crucial accident on a winter night. Additionally, her life takes a turn when she decides to leave her hometown, Hemfield, to start her new life at her University and finally enjoy the life she deserves. A fresh start is what she needed. Maybe she isn't the only one. The hockey team at the new university takes quite a keen interest in Liliana and won't seem to leave her at rest. Especially the most arrogant one of them all; Rhys Heartlow. He is nothing else than a jerk when they first meet, but somehow his cold heart seems to warm up to her just enough to make her fall for him. However, even if Liliana seems to find solace in her new life, her past continuously haunts her by tugging her back into old habits no matter how hard she tries to fight and ignore it. And perhaps she shouldn't have closed her eyes on the hints she got, because that would lead her into an icy road that is nothing less but deadly for her heart.
