"My name is Candi Johnson, and this isn’t another sappy love story. It isn’t a fairytale, and in my life there is no happily ever after. My boyfriend, Landon Michaels, has been abusing me since the month after we started dating; and three years later, I’m still with him." Candi has put up with abuse for years, too in love with her track-star boyfriend to try and leave him, but how much longer can she really take it? How much longer before reaches her breaking point? She has two options; break up with him and end the suffering, or let the beatings get worse and worse until one turns out fatal.

Kahlani never meant to fall for Mateo, the Hispanic football star who only dates within his race. She was never supposed to matter. Just the best friend in the background. The secret. The girl he reaches for in the dark and ignores in public. One night changes everything. She gives him her first time. He gives her lies, broken promises, and just enough attention to keep her coming back. Every. Single. Time. Even after he hurts her, even after he chooses someone else, she always returns. Because loving Mateo is an addiction disguised as romance and she's hooked. Ever wondered what it's like to be the other woman? To crave someone who will never truly be yours? To stay, knowing you're not the priority, but hoping he'll eventually change? This isn't a love story. It's obsession, manipulation, and destruction wrapped up in desire. Secrets this ugly never stay buried, and when they surface, someone's heart won't survive. 🚨Fair warning: this is not your typical cute, lovey-dovey romance. This story is raw, messy, toxic and emotionally intense. You'll laugh, cry, get angry, feel hope, and feel heartbreak. So please read at your own discretion. With that being said... let's dive in. I hope you enjoy every twisted moment.🚨

"I need you to be the put together one because I'm so fucked up. You've saved me." He whispers. "Carter, we saved each other." I mutter looking at him through my eyelashes. I lean into him, our lips not even an inch apart. "Sophia we shouldn't..." He looks hesitant. "Please, I need you." I almost started crying. "Please." I mutter one more time, my eyes begging for him. My body needing him. Sophia Carrington. She just moved from New York to California in search of a new life. When her life took a dark turn she's forced to leave everything behind. She just wants to finish her final year of high school, numb to the world, while learning to cope with the trauma she's endured. Carter Marquez. Newly single after being dumped by his girlfriend of two years. After losing his dad in a car accident he's fallen apart. The list of people he trusts is short, he hates letting people in. He's constantly trying to make up for his mistakes of the past, trying to find a new purpose in life. When the two of them collided, they instantly took a mutual disliking to each other. Misunderstandings and a dash of alcohol set a flame between them. Sophia hates the snarky remarks and stupid nicknames that leave his mouth. Carter thinks Sophia is just another trust fund brat.
