badboy danger love romance smalltown standalone suspense

Rebound relationships never work.

Sean has no interest in being anybody's rebound guy. He wants paying customers lining up around the block and without cops anywhere near his club, not a relationship. When he's slinging drinks behind the bar, he's got his pick of women more than willing to spend a night in his bed. Even if he were looking for someone to share his life with, it wouldn't be a sexy redhead wrapped up in ex drama, or with a crazy, overprotective father to boot. 

Nope. 

No way. 

But when Talia looks up at him like he's her honest-to-God hero, and the burn of her kisses linger long after they've ended, his resolve just may falter.All Rights Reserved

★❤️ Too Close To Kiss ❤️★ by Disahcherry

He was the senior... with the smile every girl fell for. She was the freshman-who looked too innocent to be dangerous... until he realized... she was his favorite kind of trouble. When Ava is paired... with arrogant... irresistible playboy Kade... for a semester project... she thinks she can handle him. She's smart. Quiet. Not the type... he usually goes for. But Kade? Loves a challenge. And Ava? She was never as innocent as she looked. A slow burn college romance... full of flirty tension... forbidden hallway glances... and one rule-breaking dare at a time.

𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 -𝐧𝐞𝐰 by defnotherx

She's stubborn to the bone. He's stubborn just to prove he's right. She's quick. Sharp. Smiles like she knows the ending to your story. Never backs down. Never lets anyone see her flinch. She'll push buttons just to watch what happens. He's colder. Louder. Carries himself like the world's already his. Danger wrapped in a steady, unshakable stare. Won't give you anything unless you earn it. Speaks in the kind of voice that makes people listen. She's a storm you don't see coming. He's the wall that refuses to break. They don't flirt. They challenge. They don't chase. They circle. Every glance a dare. Every word a test. Every silence louder than the music. Put them in the same room and it's a game of who blinks first. Neither of them ever does. And maybe that's the problem. Or maybe... it's exactly the point.

Assassins don't cry by novasmpsn66

{Re-written version} Jade isn't just a good assassin-she's the best. She's seen it all, done it all and doesn't get rattled easily Except when she's told she has to kill the most feared mob boss of the century- Silas Andreeva But what she doesn't know is that this is all a ploy for Silas to test Jade's capabilities. But it isn't just about a test, is it?-it's personal. Silas isn't just looking for a killer; he's drawn to her specifically. It starts with respect-admiration for her skill, the way she doesn't flinch under pressure. But then? It gets messy. Once recruited, a dangerous tension builds. Every conversation, every moment is a push and pull between an assassin and the man who should be her target. Jade and Silas are equals. She's the best assassin out there, and he's the kind of man crazy enough to invite his death just to see if she's worth his time. Neither of them fully trusts the other... but that just makes things hotter. "Am I falling for him, or is this just another game?" "Did I set this up to test her... or because I wanted to keep her close?" They should be enemies. They should walk away. But neither of them does. Because deep down, they know-this is the most fun they've had in a long time. This is the kind of love story that simmers-slow burns with tension so thick it's practically crackling. Every interaction is a game of cat and mouse, but neither of them is sure **who's who. And the best part? They both know it's dangerous. They just don't care.

Nash and Remy by GroveltoHEA

The Bad Jokes #2: The Blonde by GroveltoHEA

My cousin always referred to us as the bad jokes, as in...a blonde, a brunette and a redhead walk into a bar. I'm the blonde, and this is my story. When I was 18, a psychic told me to watch for the man with two hearts. That didn't make much sense, so I lived my life, not thinking about her fortune for my life. Then I met Wyatt and we fell in love. Until his ex-fiancee came back to him, and he chose her. Her heart. My heart. Two hearts. He's back, trying to explain things to me, trying to win me back and in the meantime, I'm also dealing with a stalker. But Wyatt's helping with that problem. Unfortunately, he's causing another problem: he's not taking no for an answer.

You found me anyway by fireangel92

She's mastered the art of disappearing behind a smile. He's spent his life chasing ghosts no one else believes in. Angel doesn't let people get close -not when closeness means questions, and questions mean truths she's not ready to share. But when a new student transfers into her life with sharp eyes and even sharper intentions, her carefully built walls begin to crack. Theo isn't supposed to care. He's learned what happens when you do. But something in her silence pulls him in, and no matter how many times she pushes him away, he stays. Two broken lives. A bond neither of them saw coming. And the quiet, relentless hope that love might still be possible -even here.
