He's a duke. She's a servant. They've been friends since childhood, but their hearts have always defied the rules. When Anastasia Michaels leaves Yorkshire with a secret that could change everything, Henry Sutton believes he's lost her forever. Years later, she returns-older, bolder, and hiding a truth that could shatter them both. Forbidden love. Passion that cannot be denied. And a past that refuses to stay buried. Can they fight for the love they were never allowed to have? ***Contains mature themes and explicit scenes. Please enjoy responsibly and do not replicate this independent work.***

Some loves begin before you know what love is. Some loves survive things that should have broken them. When Jade Thompson meets Devon Michaels in seventh grade, it's just a moment-one glance across a classroom, one heartbeat loud enough to drown out the world. She doesn't know yet that this boy with quiet eyes and a guarded heart will become a constant in her life, even when nothing else feels certain. Devon is new to this part of the city, carrying grief he doesn't have the words for and a growing resentment for a school that feels more like a reminder of everything he's already lost. He's never known his biological father. He's lost the man who raised him. And soon, he will lose even more-losses that will reshape him, fracture him, and make staying feel harder than leaving. Jade is learning how to live inside her own mind, navigating anxiety, depression, and the ache of loving someone who doesn't always know how to remain present. She feels deeply, waits patiently, and slowly learns the difference between holding on and losing herself. Their story unfolds over years-marked by closeness and distance, disappearance and return, heartbreak and healing. Devon leaves. He comes back. Jade grows. They both change. But the connection between them refuses to fade. Inspired by real events, 143: A True Love Story is an emotional romance about first love, grief, mental health, and the kind of bond that matures with time. Because some love stories aren't measured by how they begin or even how they hurt- but by the quiet ways we say I love you. One. Four. Three. ***Contains mature themes and scenes.

'Watching your brother go down for rape sounds like a difficult task, right? Try being the girl in the witness stand, the victim.' Most people ignore Kat Price and go straight for her perfect, confident and attractive older brother, Finn. The day that Finn goes down for rape, Kat's in the spotlight, Kat's the one with the answers. She also just wants to be left alone, remain invisible and live happily with her mum and her horse without the gossip and drama. So, what happens when a brooding boy with beautiful eyes and a love for horses is thrown into the mix? Eli is the proud new owner of Finn's old mare, Tempest. He doesn't know about Kat's haunting past or why she's so skittish. All he knows is that he's desperate to help. Headstrong and broken is how Eli describes Kat when he first see's her. But is her past too shattered and her heart too destroyed for Eli to fix?

This is not a story about what happens. It's about what almost does. At an Ivy League medical school, Isabelle Laurent is known as the Ice Queen-brilliant, distant, untouchable. No one gets close. No one stays. Alexander Whitmore was never supposed to be different. Charming, privileged, and infamous for never staying longer than a few weeks, he understands desire. What he doesn't understand, until Isabelle, is restraint. She believes he doesn't want her. He knows wanting her openly would destroy everything. So they choose the most dangerous thing instead: friendship. "The most dangerous thing about Alexander Whitmore was not his reputation, nor his charm, nor the power he would one day inherit. It was the fact that he never asked for anything from me- and somehow, without realizing it, I had begun to give him everything that mattered." Slow burn • Dual POV • Consent • Emotional intimacy

Is the phrase "Opposites attract" right? Maybe... But not for Sophia Mackenzie and Damon Blake. The phrase for them is more like "The opposite of attraction" Ever since the fourth grade Damon and Sophia have been sworn enemies. Now it's senior year and they're still throwing insult after insult at each other. Everyone knows that when they're in the same room all hell will break loose. Even the teachers knew not to put them in the same class. All but one. Everyone said Damon and Sophia being in the same class for a year would be a disaster waiting to happen. What they didn't expect was for them to grow closer than ever. COVER MADE BY @angelicapascoe check out her work she's amazing!!

It was pity that first made Dannie speak to him. She had known Ryan since she was a kid, but he had always been the popular Golden Boy, and she had always been the tomboy that didn’t mind not having any friends. It was odd, she had thought, that all the popular kids who had once kissed the ground he walked on, didn’t so much spared him a glance anymore, and it was this that made her sit with him that one faithful day and begin something that would only end up causing her pain.

You see, It all started in a library. Mia Hastings always seems to get in trouble from her cocky and sarcastic attitude. So when Aiden Cash presents himself, she knows everything there is to know about him. Well or so she thinks. When the hottie heart throb get's an unlikely interest in Mia, she knows how to deal with his cocky, rude, and sarcastic manners. How hard can a bad boy be? The only problem is Sterling Parker, her brothers best friend. Mia has had a crush on forever and thinks he might be the one. When suddenly he takes an interest, Mia can't believe her luck. So when two guys enter her life at the same time, she has to choose which one is the one to be hers. Everything is fair in love and war. Or so they say. But what Mia doesn't know is secrets can make or break someone. And falling in love has never been so dangerous.

"I'm pregnant." and "I never cared." are two deadly sentences that Aerial Mason never wants anyone to say to her. So how ironic is it when those exact words are said by her best friend and the one she loves the most?

"Being reunited with your childhood best friend after eight years apart? Sounds like a heart-warming story. Finding out that said best friend is now a complete jerk who's determined to make your life hell? Not so much." Georgie and Connor were once inseparable. Best friends from birth, they did everything together - well, that was until Connor's dad got a once-in-a-lifetime job opportunity and the family was forced to relocate to New York. At age sixteen, Georgie's life is totally different - her main goal being to keep her head down and escape the brutalities of high school with as little emotional scarring as possible. Balancing school, work and her dwindling social life is enough of a challenge, but it's about to get a bit more complicated when her conceited ex-best friend gets thrown into the mix. Maybe friendship should come with an instruction booklet.
