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

" I c-can't understand anything," I said slowly. I just wish this comes out to be a fake thing. All of this a joke. I helplessly looked towards him. He was quiet and looked emotionless.

Dinosaurs, Christmas, and Sexy Men In Suits by AllegedAtti

Not edited Olivia has never had an easy life, and it just gets more complicated when she catches a certain someone's attention. It doesn't matter that his grey eyes manage to make her knees weak. He was the cliche, notorious "bad boy", and that annoyed Olivia to no end. She hated him with fiery passion. Olivia harbors more than just one dark secret. A secret that chases her from state to state. A secret that denies her from having any friends, but more specifically, male friends. So she does the only thing she knows how to do. She pushes him out of her life before more than just his heart gets broken. But the question is... Will he let her get away with it? (WARNING: Explicit language.)

In Too Deep by forevertoofar

She doesn't know his name. She doesn't know where he comes from. She doesn't know anything about him. But she knows she will always find him on her couch passed out from gunshot or stabbing wounds. Like always, she has no choice but to tend to his wounds and save his life. And like always, he leaves without saying goodbye.

Something There by maddyxmarie

'"Can you spread your legs a little farther for me, baby?" he asks me, his voice a low whisper. I nod, doing exactly as I'm told, and he bites down on his lower lip. "Good girl," he breathes, and those two words alone do the most wicked things to me. His fingers trail even farther north until he reaches the hem of my underwear. His eyes meet mine and I have to let out a shaky breath, holding on tight to him to keep myself stable. "Yes or no?" he asks me quietly, and I nod frantically.' 🌸🌸🌸 Lexi Brooks' love life was suddenly flipped upside down when she was kissed by Bryce Bradshaw the day before he mysteriously moved away. It left her heart in a twist, until her mind was trapped elsewhere when 'The Incident' occurred; quite possibly the hardest thing she'd ever go through. But Bryce always had it easy. He was the heartthrob, the bad boy, the perfect guy. He had the looks, the talent, and the charisma. Though to Lexi's surprise, on the rare occasion she could catch him out of the spotlight, she saw something else there. She could tell that he was a little distant. He could tell that she was a little different. The only crucial detail: He simply left without a word. 🌸🌸🌸 Highest Rankings: #1 in Drama #1 in Heartbreak #1 in YA 🌸🌸🌸 'Something There' Book #1

Gray's a cocky jerk who seems to get a misguided kick out of making my blood boil. And did I mention the guy's got a chip on his tattooed shoulder even bigger than his inflated ego? Unfortunately, I just found out that I accidentally hired him to work on the BIGGEST campaign of my career!💀 But when Gray's prismatic eyes fill with heartfelt apologies, I don't know how to feel.

Remember When **Under MAJOR Editing** by justsoMEbody01

There's a lot Mya would like to forget. Like how her father has knocked up his 22-year-old girlfriend. Like Mya's fear that the whole town will find out about her mom's nervous breakdown. Like the darkly handsome bad boy, Dade, taunting her school. Feeling like her life is about to become a complete mess, Mya fights back the only way she knows how, using her famous attention to detail to make sure she's the perfect daughter, the perfect student, and the perfect girlfriend to ultra-popular football player Zack. But then Mya is in a car crash, and the next day there's one thing she can't remember at all --the entire night before. Did she go parking with Zack? And if so, why does it seem like Zack is avoiding her? Why is Dade--of all people--suddenly acting as if something significant happened between the two of them? Mya dimly remembers Dade pulling her from the wreck, but he keeps referring to what happened that night, and it terrifies Mya to admit how much is a blank to her. Control, meticulously Mya is quickly losing her grip on all important details of her life. Her life suddenly feels strangely empty of Zack, and strangely full of Dade.
