She is a wildfire out of control. He is the steady tide trying to keep them both from drowning.

Karmen Davis turns pain into permanent art, but her latest masterpiece is her own destruction. She's burning through her second chances, reaching for a high that finally promises to numb the flames.

Kai Liu is the calm after the wreckage. Fresh out of rehab and clutching a sobriety as fragile as a glass, he knows exactly what happens to those who play with fire. He wants to be her anchor-but in deep end of addiction, an anchor can just as easily become a weight.

(One lives for the future. The other is haunted by the past.)

In a world of salt and smoke, they have to decide: is their love a lifeline, or just another habit they won't survive?

Will the very thing that brought them together tear them both apart?

One spark is all it takes to burn. One wave is all it takes to wash it away.All Rights Reserved

Broken Roads to You by Hey0506

Harmony grew up raising her little brother in a house full of broken promises, drug-fueled nights, and the silence of parents who were too far gone to care. She learned early that love could hurt, that trust didn't last, and that survival came before anything else. Then she met Tyler - a tattooed, gang-affiliated boy with a toxic girlfriend, a reckless heart, and eyes that saw through her walls. What started as chaos turned into something real. Something raw. Something she wasn't sure she could trust. Their love was never easy. It was explosive. Messy. Unforgiving. Between street wars, betrayal, heartbreak, and healing, Harmony and Tyler kept finding their way back to each other - even when the world tried to tear them apart. This is a story of trauma, passion, loyalty, and the kind of love that feels like home after a life of running.

My Anti-Valentine by shaylamariam

Book 1 | Completed | Niko Molchalin has always been a reserved man. As the owner of Inked-a tattoo shop-the need to speak hasn't really been an essential requirement of his job, and he liked it that way. His customers came in for one reason only, and that was to get some wicked designs etched onto their skin, not to socialize and share each other's past emotional experiences. So when his chatter-box neighbor from the cupcake store across the street came in to drop off her last batch of sweets upon foreclosure, he surprised himself by offering her the receptionist position that was available in his shop. Ryssa Morgan was everything Niko wasn't. Her face was perpetually lit up with a friendly smile, and her eyes held a gleam of animation and optimism that was foreign to Niko. Just when he started to feel comfortable with her, someone from his past showed up, threatening to collect on a debt. After Niko gets injured defending her, they find somewhere safe for the night to lay low. As the hours passed, Ryssa insisted that Niko explain everything to her about his past and why people were after them.2 As Valentine's Day approaches, will Niko be able to protect her? Will these two be able to overlook their differences and finally give in to their desires?
