She's beautiful in her own effortless way, the kind of girl whose smile could light up even the dullest days. On the other hand, Shawn Drex Ausocion - a cold, mysterious, and undeniably handsome boy from Manila, the type who carries secrets behind his quiet eyes.
Their worlds collide in an unexpected vacation - two souls from different worlds meeting under the warmth of the same sun. As days pass, laughter turns into lingering glances, and friendship slowly blooms into something deeper. But what happens when trust shatters? What if the person you believed in the most chooses not to believe in you?
In a story of love, betrayal, and second chances, Debora and Shawn will learn that sometimes, the hardest battles are not fought against others - but against the person you love.

Noah (5th Street series) by elizabethreyes__

Veronica Cruz has been through hell and back. After disconnecting with the world two years ago to be at the side of her dying mother, she's left alone, unemployed, overweight, and feeling a decade older than her twenty-eight years. When her best friend coaxes her into joining the local gym to ditch her depression and rejuvenate her life, she meets Noah. Assigned to help Veronica lose weight, Noah is everything she expected a young trainer to be-perfectly chiseled, supportive and motivating. Add to that, he's incredibly sexy. He's everything she's ever looked for in a man. What she least expected was for him to fall for her, but he has. There's just one glaring problem: Noah is eight years younger. Noah Quintanilla has his eye on a boxing title-someday. Down for a few months with an injury, his maintenance-boy pay at 5th Street Gym won't cut it. He's finally given the opportunity to train. The catch? His trainee is an out-of-shape woman with a free week pass. Taking on the challenge, Noah stumbles into one of the closest friendships he's ever known, and before he knows it, he's in love. But Veronica's not having it-the age difference is too much. Their platonic relationship means having to watch her date other men-something that would make him crazy. Believing he's the man for her, Noah sets out to prove that age is but an illusion, and there's more to him than just a number.

White Lies by dariarhodes

"You can't take all of us, sweetheart." Valen's voice is smooth, teasing, but the way his fingers brush against my hip isn't playful. It's testing. Behind me, Fennec chuckles, his breath warm as he leans in, his lips barely ghosting the shell of my ear. "She could try." His voice dips lower, dragging heat down my spine. "I'd love to watch her try." ------------------------------- Soraya Cordova was never meant to survive. Stolen as a child and discarded as a mistake, she was given a second chance when the Cordovas adopted her into a life of wealth, secrets, and silent wars. But when her parents are declared dead and the world turns against her found family, she realizes survival is no longer enough, she needs to fight. Raised as assassins, her adoptive brothers have spent years keeping her in the dark, but now? Now, she's in the center of the storm. Wanted by the government. Hunted by the man who created her. And trapped in a dangerous game of love, loyalty, and lies with the only people who have ever mattered. Because in their world, trust is a weapon. Not all love stories are gentle. Some are jagged at the edges, built on shadows and sins, tangled in pasts too dark to escape. White Lies is one of those stories. It's about the things we do to survive, the lies we tell to protect, and the love that thrives even in the darkest corners. Read at your own risk.

Villain and Violence || Devil's Night Fanfiction by anxalna

She wasn't supposed to love him. She had told herself that a thousand times, whispered it like a warning in the dead of night. But love had a cruel way of ignoring reason, twisting itself into something undeniable, something dangerous. Otkrovenyie never spoke the words aloud, never dared to let them escape into the air where they could betray her. Instead, she showed it in the silence, in the way her eyes lingered a second too long when she thought he wasn't looking, in the way she always seemed to know exactly when he was at his breaking point, pulling him back just before he shattered. She cared in ways he would never understand, in ways he wasn't meant to see. She carried his pain like it was her own, protected him from battles he didn't even know existed. And now, she was risking everything for him-her identity, her safety, the life she had built in the shadows-all for the man who could never know the truth. But the hardest part? He didn't even know she was in love with him. And she could never let him find out. My oc Otkrovenyie x Damon Torrance Slow Brun Endless love Forbidden love

Facade Of Perfectionism by Shrya1712

'Love is like a child, That longs for everything it can come by' -William Shakespeare _______________________________________________________ Maya Matthews is the description of perfection, or as she has been addressed. She excels in every field she steps her foot into, be it from her perfect grades to being the best daughter a parent could ask for, you name it. Her tenderness is what attracts every guy's attention. She seems to have everything she could ask for. What could possibly be wrong with her near to perfect life? Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth. Maya has her demons that she desperately attempts to hide from the world that not a single soul knows about. Shawn Daniels is the perfect storm and the missing puzzle in Maya's life. He is the polar opposite of Maya. Smart, confident, and witty. He's often misunderstood for a bad boy, who has quite a handful of girls swooning over him. He's a carefree soul. He is the yin to her yang. What happens when they cross paths and Shawn unleashes Maya's dark secrets? Will he succeed in his mission to pull Maya out of her past, and show what life has to offer? But life is certainly not a bed of roses and nothing comes as easy. _______________________________________________________ They say love can overcome anything. You never exactly know when it will strike and turn your life upside down. Love will make you doubt every single thing that you believe in yet you will find yourself drowning in it slowly, very slowly but deeply. _______________________________________________________ All rights reserved © 2020-Shrya1712

The One After the Storm by 20thcenturyteen

Beatrice had always lived her life with precision and control. As a doctor, she faced the chaos of the hospital with calm determination. As a mother, she poured her heart into raising her four-year-old daughter, Daphne, whose laughter became her anchor through the darkest storms. And as a woman, she found quiet refuge in Joseph-the steady, dependable man who had known her secrets, stood by her side, and became the father her daughter deserved. But when Miguel, her first love and the man who once promised her forever, suddenly returns, the life Beatrice thought she had carefully rebuilt begins to crack. Memories she fought to forget resurface, stirring emotions she believed were long buried. Miguel's presence brings both unresolved pain and undeniable pull, forcing Beatrice to confront the heartbreak that once defined her. Now, she stands at a fragile crossroads: between the man who left her shattered and the man who helped her heal, between a past filled with betrayal and a future that promises stability. With Daphne's happiness on the line and the truth about her heart dangerously close to unraveling, Beatrice must decide-can she truly close the door on yesterday, or will love's unfinished story demand to be written again?

Bruised | Twisted Devotion Book One by TheRealKitKat09

She was broken. He was vengeance. Together, they might set the world on fire. Cassie thought love would save her. Instead, it trapped her-bruises hidden under apologies, silence where safety should've been. Then came Dante Navarro. Cold. Dangerous. Merciless. He didn't save her. He stole her. What started as revenge turns into something darker, something electric-something Cassie swore she'd never feel again. Because Cassie's done waiting for a hero. And Dante? He doesn't promise control. He promises he'll never hurt her like Jake- but he'll burn the world to ash before he lets anyone else try.

Moonlight Kisses by chxrryskiwis

"Why are you doing that!" she whisper-screams while her eyes flit to the other guys, who are now immersed in something else that isn't us. I kiss that spot again, making her whole body shiver. It's oddly entertaining to watch what my slightest movements do to her. Usually it takes a lot more for a girl to unravel this way, but her breath hitches each time I go to kiss her neck. I could only imagine what my hands could do to her body. "You still didn't answer my question," she huffs harshly. And still she hasn't pulled away from me. Had I been any stupider, I'd say Jordyn was actually enjoying herself. If she hates this so badly, why hasn't she asked me to stop? [] In August, Jordyn Reeve starts attending Crestview Prep and not long after strikes a deal with Beau Clemonte, an arrogant, rude boy who happens to be the thing that can give her what she wants: his best friend, Jake Amherst. Of course, everything worthwhile must come with a price. Despite her outright opinions, Jordyn makes a deal with the devil. Or at least that's what that's what she saw at first -- a coldhearted, stubborn asshole that cared even less than she did. Her only intention was to see this out to get the guy. However, it wasn't that simple for Beau. Cover created by: @meha-k Started October 2020 Completed January 2022

Now, fate drags them back into the same orbit in a sprawling Indian wedding where laughter, secrets, and unspoken glances collide. He's no longer the carefree boy she once knew-he's colder, sharper, hiding shadows she can't reach.

A story of missed chances, second glances, and a love that refuses to die. It's my first attempt to write, please give it a read and a review and let me know if you guys want to know more!

From Broken To Together by ScarletPages

"An arranged marriage is nothing but fate, dressed carefully as destiny." Vedika Anand - a girl born of sunshine, stitched together with laughter, dreams, and an endless stream of words. A chatterbox, a whirlwind of joy, a living festival wherever she walks. She has always believed love to be sacred - "A single soul inhibiting two bodies." But in her heart, love has only existed in the pages of books and in the faces of fictional men she never wanted to leave behind. In reality, she has only tasted the sweet ache of a fleeting crush - a spark so faint that she buried it like a forgotten page in an old storybook. What happens when destiny chooses to bring that forgotten crush back to her? Not as a dream. Not as a choice. But as her husband. Veeransh Singhania - the shadow to her light. Cold, merciless, untouchable. The country's most powerful billionaire bachelor, feared as much as he is respected. The world calls him ruthless. To his family, he is distant. To himself, he is dead. His past is a graveyard of mistakes, and his present is a fortress no one dares to breach. "If love is an eternal act of forgiveness," Then Veeransh refuses to be a fool. Forgiveness is weakness, and weakness has no place in his world. Will Vedika's sunshine be enough to thaw Veeransh's frozen heart? Or will her laughter die in the silence of his indifference? This is not just an arranged marriage. It is a war between life and death. Between faith and fear. Between a girl who believes in love like prayer, and a man who stopped believing in anything at all.
