Beyond the Ruins by PixieMarbel

In a world shattered by greed and destruction, where the remnants of humanity are divided into the rich elite and the struggling masses, survival is the only currency. Finn, a 19-year-old university student, finds his life irrevocably changed when a devastating attack leaves him stranded amidst the chaos. Waking up in the gilded sanctuary of Magnus Wolfe, a 24-year-old scion of the top one percent, Finn discovers the enemy isn't just outside the walls-it might be in the same room. Magnus is the embodiment of everything Finn despises: wealth, privilege, and the complicity of the elite in humanity's downfall. But Magnus carries secrets of his own-buried guilt, conflicted loyalties, and an enigmatic charm that leaves Finn questioning the boundaries between enemy and ally. As their lives intertwine, tensions simmer and sparks fly in an enemies-to-lovers journey that explores love, betrayal, and redemption. Will Finn uncover the truth about Magnus's role in the collapse of society? And can love flourish amidst the ruins of a broken world?

Unbreakable(Boondock Saints) by _normanmarkreedus

Emily Moore is a 24 year old who was originally born in London but moved to Boston when she was 19. She was never planning on building a life there; it was merely supposed to be a pit-stop before she moved onto the next country on her travel across the world. Obviously fate had different plans for her as she soon found herself fond of the place she now calls home. The only down side to the end of her travelling dream was the years she wasted learning different languages to prepare herself, but she was yet to realise they could actually come in handy soon. For the past six years she has been working at McGinty's where she gets to spend time with her surrogate granddad Doc, her annoying brother/bestfriend figures Conner and Rocco and most importantly her boyfriend Murphy. They hit it off instantly but it wasn't until two years ago that they hooked up after a booze filled 22th birthday party for Emily. Not the most romantic way to start a relationship, but they've been together ever since. They weren't your average couple. They didn't walk around calling each other boyfriend and girlfriend or constantly telling each other that they loved one another because they just didn't need too. They both mutually understood that he was hers and she was his- Murphy often making sure every other man in the pub knew as well- and they both knew how much the other loved them; often more through actions rather then words. Although they often liked comparing their relationship to cheesy Westlife songs, 'Unbreakable' always coming out on top in their list of favourites.
