Going Up In Flames by Forev3rDream1ng

"They're lost, but found, Broken but mended, Together they're one." *** He heard an effortless thud, turned around, and there she was. "Couldn't resist me?" He asked her. Without a response, she stood there, emotionless, staring at him. "You know? It's okay to admit it darling," he said stepping closer, hands behind his back. "Admit what?" She asked plainly. "To admit that you loved our first fight so much that you just had to come back for more," he responded. He blinked as he finished his sentence, and she was gone. Soon followed the feeling of suffocation, the air leaving his body slowly as her toned arms wrapped around his throat. "Now is not the time to be cocky, 'darling'." *** Through this journey, it's kill, or be killed. Loyalties will be tested and relationships will be ruined. It will all go up in flames. *** An enemies to lovers trope...with a twist. Two broken souls, with dark pasts and blood on their hands. This book is written by two best friends who are just having fun and who has a passion for writing. So from the both of us...we hope you enjoy. *** Started: 5 June 2021 Ended:

Falling For An Inmate by TheGatsbyEffect

Prison Diaries: Book 1 (complete) A law-abiding student gets entangled with a broody inmate when she discovers there has been a miscarriage of justice. She goes in to help, but ends up breaking the first rule of interning at a prison; she falls for the inmate. ***** Carter Reynolds' teenage years ended the second the gavel hit the sound block. Or maybe they ended when the police found him standing over a dead body, drenched in blood. It might even have been before that. When he connected his fist with a face that left a broken jaw in its wake. Either way, it was over. He was sentenced to 25 years in prison. He accepted his fate, only promising himself to never care for anyone so intensely again. Almost four years into his sentence, Arya Crawford walks through the wrought iron prison gates. A self-proclaimed miniature philanthropist with a heart of gold, a law-abiding student with an urge to always have fun, a girl with a silent cause. She had taken up an internship at the New York State Penitentiary. And in time, Carter and Arya both realize something. She had broken the first rule instructed by the warden. She had fallen for an inmate. Which meant she couldn't stay. He had broken the promise he made to himself. He had started to care for her. Which meant he couldn't let her leave. But it's a little difficult to make that happen when you're stuck in a closet sized cell. And waiting twenty-one years is out of the question. ***** Highest Rankings: #6 in Romance, #2 in Passion, #4 in Badboy, #1 in Witty (for those who don't think an inmate/prison trope is their cup of tea, don't be put off because the story is first and foremost 'romance') Disclaimer** Reader discretion advised. - Mature content Story contains explicit language, sexual content, and physical and sexual violence.

He smirked at me, stepping closer, so that his face was inches from mine. I could smell nicotine on his breath, and I struggled to focus my thoughts, my heart pounding in my chest. "How?" I asked breathlessly. He leant down, and his lips brushed my ear. Then, in a whisper, he spoke, and shivers ran down my spine. "You're going to work for me." ~~~ Robin McCarthy has been trying really hard to be the good girl. Stay out of trouble, hold a steady job, and keep her head down.

{𝑩𝒐𝒐𝒌 1} 𝒁𝒊𝒏𝒂 𝑻𝒐𝒓𝒓𝒆𝒔 Is the girl no one really noticed. She hides her face- with all the horrid bruises present- behind a facade, and makes sure no one suspects a single thing about the hell she's met with at her home with her 'parents'. Sure, when she gets in trouble or someone picks on her, she can defend herself perfectly fine with the way she does illegal fights and wins time after time. But it's when she's utterly alone, and locked up in her personal hell that she doesn't dare to speak up or say a thing. It's when the voices get through her that she cowers away in the shadows and doesn't dare to come out. Not even when her own life is in danger does she uses everything she's learned from that special boy with the mesmerizing smile and the kind reassuring eyes. Zina lives in her own shadows and deals with her own demons, but what happens when a random boy on a random day, decides to show more interest in her than anyone ever did? What if he tells her something that'll change her whole life?And what happens if that particular boy claims to be related to her? And is blood really thicker than water? Can her 5 caring brothers pull her out of her own shadows and free her from the voices calling her back? Or will she give in and be a danger to everyone around her? ---- "Don't break her heart." I suddenly hear Lucas speak up next to me. "How did you know?" I ask him. "The eyes. Everything you feel for her is displayed in your eyes." He answers me and I nod slowly. "I won't." I say quietly to him. "You won't what?" He says, wrinkling his brows in confusion. "Break her heart." I finish saying. I see him nod from the corner of my eyes, contemplating on what to say next. "Good." ---- No incest, nor cheating in this book!
