Tempting | My Brother's Best Friend [18+] by lost-blueberries
48 parts Complete Mature
After an unexpected ceiling collapse sends her apartment into chaos, Madelaine Grayson ends up living with her brother - and dangerously close to his tattooed, way-too-charming roommate. He's off-limits... but resisting him might be impossible. *** When Madelaine Grayson's bathroom ceiling caves in, it's not just drywall that crumbles. It's her entire world. Forced to move in with her brother, she finds herself swept up in the chaos of his new protective attitude - especially when it comes to his tattooed roommate, Noah Laurier. Noah is the epitome of perfection: sweet, hot, and embedded into every thought Madelaine has. But he's forbidden, and the closer she gets, the harder he is to resist. Well... what her brother doesn't know can't hurt him, right? *** "Matt's sister, I presume?" He walks towards the couch and my eyes widen. He's tall. I thought I was tall but this man could tower me, and when he reaches a hand towards me, there's an intricate clock tattooed on the back of his hand and his fingers have bones tattooed over them. This man is not human. He's tall and angular and dripping with sex appeal. This man is hot. Capital H, capital O, capital T. I don't think I've ever seen a human being so attractive. All I can think about as I force myself to keep my eyes on the screen is the feel of his jaw beneath my hand, and it takes everything in me not to look back at him.

To stop the Dominion, he'll have to cross the dead lands- and he can't do it alone. Lyra Vance has survived her whole life out here. Reckless, volatile, and untamed, she's the kind of woman who'd rather burn the world than bow to it. She doesn't trust Kael, She shouldn't. But when their paths collide, survival forces an alliance neither wants- and sparks a war that could change everything. In a world built on ashes and secrets, trust is dangerous. Love is lethal. And the truth could kill them both. ASHFALL - Where the sky burns, and the survivors are the ones who learn how to fight back.

Not the boy who saved her from a playground meltdown. Not the best friend who became her first kiss... her first love... her everything. But when he moved across the world, he left her with nothing but a broken promise and a gold star necklace she still wears like a scar. She swore she'd wait. He swore they'd find each other again. But two weeks after he came back, he was holding another girl's hand. Now it's war. And Lisa's done playing soft. Noah thought leaving Lisa behind would protect them both. He didn't expect to fall apart without her. Neither did he expect to learn the truth-something so brutal it made him question every moment they'd ever shared and see her as a stranger in the skin of the girl he once loved. And he definitely didn't expect to fall into someone else's arms trying to forget the taste of her lips. But Lisa's not the shy girl he left behind. She's colder now. Hotter, too. And every time he looks at her like he hates her, he wants to grab her and make her remember everything. This isn't just a breakup. It's unfinished business. First love never dies. But it might just destroy them both. π“π‘πˆπ†π†π„π‘/π‚πŽππ“π„ππ“ ππŽπ“πˆπ‚π„ : β₯ mature/sexual themes β₯ alcohol references β₯ language β₯ mild violence β₯ SLOWBURN! word count- 130,000 started- July 07 2023, Finished- May 2025 Copyright all rights reserved
The Perfect Little Town by SeKoixaRubio
8 parts Ongoing Mature
New town. New friends. And a secret that could destroy them all. When Kai Caldwell, a privileged socioeconomics student with a minor in bioethics, moves to a quiet town for college, he expects small-town life to be... normal. That is, until his friend's girlfriend lands an internship at the town's prestigious Cancer Institute-and then disappears. Talia Torres, a determined public health policy student, has spent her life chasing justice after the death of her sister, who fell victim to the Institute's early research programs. She doesn't trust anyone tied to power-especially Kai Caldwell, whose father runs the Institute with what seems to be a dark agenda. As strange illnesses begin to spread, and the line between life and death blurs, Kai and Talia are forced together. With secrets, lies, and a deadly outbreak threatening the town, they must decide: who can they trust... and who will survive? Thrilling, morally complex, and with a slow-burn romance, this is a dystopian tale where the cure might be worse than the disease.
30 Days to Fall by Fiammeta07
22 parts Complete
One month. One town. One chance to start over. After a painful breakup and a year of silence between her and the page, Ellie Hartley takes a leap of faith and signs up for a month-long writing retreat in the quiet coastal town of Greybridge. Surrounded by crashing waves, sleepy cafΓ©s, and strangers with kind eyes, she hopes to find inspiration-or at the very least, a little peace. But when she meets Liam Mercer, a guarded local with a past he refuses to share, her plans unravel faster than her favorite sweater in the wind. He's quiet, brooding, and clearly wants nothing to do with her... until he does. As the days pass, Ellie and Liam find themselves pulled into each other's worlds-reluctantly at first, then all at once. But love built on borrowed time comes with a choice: walk away when the thirty days are up... or risk everything to stay. In this slow-burn, heartwarming romance filled with laughter, loss, and late-night secrets, 30 Days to Fall asks: What if the love of your life was never part of the plan-but exactly what you needed all along?
