abuse hurts love past romance sarcasm suspense

Some mistakes have the ability to haunt you for the rest of your life. Sara Jamison made a big one for ever trusting her former boyfriend and letting him into her life. As much as she tries she can't seem to get away from her past and move on. Everything reminds her of him. Memories of their past life are always running through her head and the special way he loved her imprinted on her body. She has gotten through her life keeping people, especially her sister, at a distance with her sarcasm and humor and accepted her life the way it is.

But when she least expects it she meets Chris, and she wants to let go of the past and everything holding her back, but it always seems to be a barrier between them and one she can't seem to climb over or escape. She thought she knew love, but she realizes she had it all wrong. But the more she keeps her secrets to herself the bigger they seem to grow and control her future.  She thought she was done with her past but what happens when it comes back to haunt you? She knows she must face it if she ever truly wants to be happy, but suddenly she has to decide if that happiness is worth dying for... 

Sara has felt two completely different loves in her lifetime, but both of them carry a weight that hurts to feel. The first, a desperate, painful kind of love. The other, a selfless, all-consuming love that runs so deep it hurts. If only she knew the consequences of both.

Happy Endings Aren't True. #theliteraryawards2017 by FatimaBabar5

Previously known as Behind The Mask. Warning: I wrote this book five years ago when I was thirteen, there are ALOT of spelling/grammar mistakes. At times there might be jokes which are stupid as hell and there will be so many plot holes it will hurt but with that being said this is the first book I ever wrote which is why i'm not deleting it. _____________ Funny isnt it? The person you once used to know, doesn't remember you. The person you now love, leaves you. All Ashley wants to do now is give up, but will Thomas let her do that without knowing what is going on behind that blinding smile of hers. ______________ Not At All Your Average Cliche. Just give this book a chance. Contains strong language read at your own risk and please do not copy my story it is illegal and I will make you pay.

The Devil's Daughter (Devil's Right Hand MC #4) by Mack_2024

Chrissy Martinez is lost, but not the kind of lost that a GPS will fix. She's the kind of lost that takes years of therapy or a trip to one of those spiritual retreats to fix. At 19, she had no idea what her place would be in the world, but she could manage. With her mama and sister by her side, she kept her head down and worked a shitty job to hold the family together. That is, until her whole life came crashing down when her mother died and she lost the safeguard of her home in the same week. Wandering lost in a world without her shepherd, she knows her snarky attitude or quick wit cannot save her from this, she needs a map. And maybe, just maybe, she finds the very map she needs while cleaning out her mother's closet. Maybe, that map is in the form of a birth certificate. ---------- Skillet Lawson is the club goofball. His reputation for inappropriate comments and deadly sarcasm make him a staple in the Franklin chapter of The Devil's Right Hand MC. To some, his child-like banter and carefree nature may seem immature, but to Skillet, this is the epitome of maturity. Nothing is more mature than seeing all the shit the world has to offer and sticking your middle finger up at it. His life is pretty damn good now. He's got everything he could ever want. But what happens when the mysterious girl with curly hair and a bag full of secrets catches his eye? Now, the man who never takes anything seriously develops serious feelings for the beauty with a secret identity, even though he knows he shouldn't. Can Skillet resist the gorgeous forbidden fruit? Or will he fall under the spell of the devil's daughter? ------ Disclaimer: This is the fourth book in my Devil's Right Hand Series. While I recommend reading these books in order, this can be read as a stand-alone.

Babysitter by suck_ur_dick

"As much as l want to show you off and tell everyone to keep 10 meters distance from you because you are mine l won't do that until l earn your trust" he says and l press my lips against his lips shutting him. He takes control without losing any time and pushes me more against the cupboard while his hands make his way to my waist pulling me closer and mine plays with his hair. He bites my lower lip demanding for entrance and l give him that and he wastes no time and slides his tongue inside me and mine runs along his. We finally pull away from each other " You deserved a reward for that" l say while panting and trying to catch my breath. "Oh yeah? Then l will make sure to shove you inside the Janitor's closet every day" [Babysitter is a heartwarming story its a easy life that l can't have but writing this story helped me a lot they have a almost healthy relationship? At least as healthy it can get without being too cringe yes there are misunderstandings but its not too complicated cause l wanted to make it heartwarming not frustrating]

"So, let me get this straight. You stomped all over his paperwork?" She started. "Not intentionally, but yes," I confirmed it. "Threw a drink in his face?" She added. "Expensive red wine." I described. "Rammed into his car with yours deliberately?" she counted on her third finger. "Um...I'm not proud of that one," I said cringing. "And called him offensive names?" She ended the list and I winced. "Twice." I specified. "And you're still alive?" She blinked, looking genuinely surprised. "Geez, don't be dramatic or anything..." I frowned at her hyperbolic statement. "Maybe he's keeping you around to get revenge." She suggested. Possible. I wouldn't put it past him. "I didn't know alright!" I exclaimed. "Let's hope that excuse is acceptable.." She was merely amused. "Working with my new boss is going to be a piece of work." ** Synopsis: When the CEO of Signature Heights: Jensen Black, and a stubborn employee: Alexandra Brook, clash, it's a battle of wits & a war of perseverance.

Or so had she thought until she collided with the cheeky green-eyed boy, Kayden Lawson, who had the most charming tricks up his sleeve - tricks just smooth enough to make Elaine realise, that maybe, indeed, she did wear her heart out on her sleeve. Maybe, for a few late night talks, stolen glances and shy flirty exchanges - Elaine was completely willing to change everything about herself - to fit in. To make Kayden keep looking at her. But unfortunately, every person does not know how to keep care of another's heart, and often end up breaking them. And spoiler alert, Kayden turned out to be one of them. Too bad that even after her heart was abandoned, Elaine's heart kept singing Kayden's name like a long-forgotten song. Too bad that, undoubtedly, heartbreak weather had come. • ════ ⋆★⋆ ════ • unedited. ©2022 to Aishi Mitra @aishixwrites.
