She wants love that feels safe.

He only knows love that hurts.



Pretty When It Hurts follows Skye, a girl whose life has always been a mix of chaos and quiet desperation, and Knox, the enigmatic, irresistible bad boy who hides more than he shows. When their worlds collide, attraction ignites like wildfire, but it's messy, intense, and dangerous.

As Skye navigates the highs and lows of her connection with Knox, she discovers that love can hurt in ways you never expect, and sometimes, the most beautiful things come wrapped in pain. Together, they'll push each other to the edge, testing boundaries, breaking rules, and discovering that the line between passion and destruction is thinner than they ever imagined.

PERFECT LIFE. PERFECT BOYFRIEND. All it took was his best friend transferring back to turn her world upside down. Maya has everything she's ever wanted-a devoted boyfriend, a steady future, a love story that's supposed to last. Liam is safe, familiar, right. Then Nathan shows up. Liam's best friend. Cold, sharp, impossible to ignore. From the start, he gets under her skin, challenging her, frustrating her-tempting her in ways she refuses to acknowledge. She hates him. He doesn't like her either. At least, that's what they keep telling themselves. But tension has a way of unraveling, and some lines-once crossed-can never be undone. "We shouldn't," he breathes against my lips. But he doesn't move away. "I don't care," I whisper back... 🔥 Mature Content | Slow-Burn | Enemies to Forbidden Lovers 🔥

Hannah thought she knew what love was. Jay-charming, magnetic, impossible to resist-was everything she ever wanted... until he broke her heart. Now he's back, whispering apologies and pulling her in with the same dangerous smile that once destroyed her. And then there's Isaac. Quiet. Steady. Unexpected. He sees her in ways no one else does-through late-night study sessions, unfinished sketches, and words she thought she'd lost. With him, she can finally breathe. But when past and present collide at a party that changes everything, Hannah finds herself caught between the boy who shattered her and the boy who might just put her back together. Two boys. Two different kinds of love. One choice that could break her all over again. (FIRST 9 CHAPTERS ARE OUT! PLEASE ENJOY!)

Enter Levi, the charming boy-next-door with a golden smile and a heart of gold, and Liam, his brooding, tattooed brother with a mysterious past.

But with every choice comes a consequence, and as truths unravel and emotions deepen, Maya realizes that love is never simple. Who will she trust her heart with? And will it break before she even gets the chance? "Two brothers, one heart, and the fight to find where she truly belongs."
