Andrea Paisley has carried scars long before anyone could see them. From the age of six, school was never a safe place. Classmates mocked her, calling her ugly, a monkey, and worse. A strict teacher seemed to hate her for reasons she never understood, turning every school day into something she had to survive rather than live. Years of bullying slowly carved deep wounds into Andrea’s heart, leaving her angry, guarded, and struggling with her mental health. But through the chaos of elementary school, there was one person she could never fully hate. Matthew Neyman. They argued, spread rumors about each other, and clashed constantly—but sometimes, in rare quiet moments, they helped each other. Matthew became Andrea’s first crush, even if their relationship was built more on conflict than kindness. By the time school ended, Andrea tried to bury those feelings and forget him completely… even though part of her never really could. High school is supposed to be a fresh start. Instead, Andrea finds herself facing new battles. Samuel Daňko, her sharp-tongued classmate, seems to hate everything about her—calling her aggressive, cringe, and impossible to deal with. Yet the more they clash, the more complicated their relationship becomes. Then there’s Tom Čonka, the quiet boy she secretly finds attractive. He barely speaks to her, always distant, always out of reach. And the worst part? Matthew, Samuel, and Tom all already have girlfriends. Matthew is dating Vanessa Příhodová, a girl who seems to have everything Andrea never did—beauty, confidence, and love. Andrea begins to believe she’s cursed. Every time she meets someone new at a party in the city and lets herself hope for a moment, the next day reality crushes her again. Love always seems to belong to someone else. But as old memories resurface and new conflicts ignite, Andrea must face the truth about her past, her scars, and the fragile hope that maybe—just maybe—someone out there could still see her heart beneath the pain. Because sometimes the deepest scars are the ones that lead you to the person who understands them.

Christina has spent her life in the shadows of a past she barely remembers. Separated from her father at the age of five under mysterious circumstances, she grows up sharp-tongued, reckless, and brilliantly chaotic—surviving on instinct and unanswered questions. All she knows is that her father was a hero… and that he vanished. Years later, her search leads her to Swellview—and to a hidden lair beneath Junk N’ Stuff. Breaking into the Man Cave is easier than expected, mostly because Schwoz already knows exactly who she is. He’s been waiting. The only problem? Ray Manchester—Captain Man himself—has no idea the girl standing in his lair is his daughter. Christina isn’t impressed by heroes, especially not loud, egotistical ones in red spandex. And Henry Hart—Kid Danger—is everything she can’t stand: righteous, annoying, and always in her way. From their first clash, sparks fly in the form of insults, rivalry, and constant sabotage. They don’t trust each other. They barely tolerate each other. But as Christina gets pulled deeper into the world of heroes, secrets begin to crack. Missions go wrong. Feelings get complicated. And the line between enemy and ally blurs—especially when Henry starts to see past her chaos and Christina realizes that caring might be more dangerous than fighting. With her identity hidden, her father unknowingly training beside her, and her heart caught in a battle she never planned to fight, Christina must decide what she really wants: revenge, answers… or a family she thought she lost forever. Enemies. Chaos. Secrets. And a love that was never supposed to happen.

It all started with that one proposal, a deal-turned-bait pulling him into something dark, yet irresistible and inescapable. ____ Ryan Kane is mixed-race, poor, and worst still, in a university where everything screams "silver and gold". He thinks his scholarship and education are his only way to a future better than his present. But this guy's grades aren't helping matters as he keeps juggling between lectures, attendance, and part-time jobs. The lower his grades get, the closer he is to withdrawing, going back to his deadbeat of a father, and having a life with nothing. Well, he absolutely doesn't want a reality like that, and to avert that, his only option was getting a tutor. Ryan’s desperate enough to ask Adrian Val. On campus and to everyone, Adrian is the perfect, well-behaved, brilliant heir to a top conglomerate family. While in private, he is a possessive, manipulative jerk who does a lot of unimaginable things. When Ryan proposes tutoring to him, Adrian offers that he pay with his body instead. To him, Ryan can't afford his time and knowledge with just his measly bucks. Ryan says yes to the offer, and along the line, he falls heavily for Adrian. But even when Adrian rejects his confession and treats him like a toy way worse than before, Ryan doesn't leave. He wants the tutoring, the intimacy, the sex, his persistent feelings for Adrian, and the tiny hope that Adrian's heart may steer towards him. It gets even messier when Adrian’s friend Liam enters the picture. Liam is calm, kind, and actually cares about Ryan, but he holds back his feelings to keep the peace. Then there is also Chase, a rich troublemaker who openly flirts with Ryan. Trapped in a dirty cycle of sex, love, and heartbreak, everything Ryan had and held dear to him came tumbling gradually. And by the time he realizes the depth of it, it is too late. Too late to even hold onto anything. Only to be caught between three powerful men who all want a piece of him for different reasons. ____ Years later, the campus gates are closed and Ryan has built a life for himself away from the shadows of Westhill. But his new career brings him face to face with the man that once broke him... Graduation was only a temporary escape This story contains #slowburn #toxic #drama #psychological #heavy and detailed smut scenes #red flag top #trauma #obsession

At the last attempt for peace, Ophelia Valthorn is sacrificed by her ruthless stepfather, Joel Valthorn, to marry the feared Lord Dante Hastings. Ophelia is torn away from her sick brother, whom she loves dearly, and taken across enemy lands, where her every move is scrutinised, and every glance filled with hatred. Dante and Ophelia are guarded against each other until the rise of assassinations and whispers of betrayal within each family forces them to lean on each other. As Ophelia adapts to her new life, she discovers a curse which torments her husband. It is a curse which threatens not only the truce but Ophelia’s life. Will Ophelia flee before war breaks out again, or help Dante break free of the curse?

The curse was supposed to kill him. Instead, it trapped him with the one person who might ruin him completely. Seraphine has a rule: never perform magic she can't undo. She breaks it on a stormy night when a half-dead knight crashes through her garden fence and radiates the darkest curse she has ever seen. She means to stabilize him. Buy him time. Send him on his way. Instead, she accidentally binds the curse remnant to her own hearth magic — and now Sir Aldric, the Crown's most feared former knight, cannot leave her cottage without the curse resuming its slow, deliberate work of erasing him. He is furious. She is inconvenienced. The storage room is small and he reorganizes everything without asking and calls her remedies folk nonsense while quietly taking every single one she leaves for his pain. She was supposed to be temporary. He was supposed to leave. Neither of those things is happening. As weeks bleed into months, the rules they set dissolve one by one — in stolen glances across a firelit kitchen, in nightmares neither talks about, in the terrible softness of a man who fixes broken things without being asked and a woman who leaves the light on for people who are lost. But the curse has a source. A mage named Vorren who did not choose cruelty without reason. And the longer the tether holds, the more it takes from her — quietly, the way grief does, draining the warmth she has spent her whole life choosing. Aldric would rather finish dying than let her pay that cost. Seraphine would rather burn every rule she has than let him. Cursed and Kept is a slow burn dark fantasy romance about two people who are each other's shelter before they are each other's choice — and the agonizing, beautiful space between those two things. *** Novel Tags: #SlowBurn #ForcedProximity #GrumpySunshine #DarkFantasyRomance #CursedHero #HedgeWitch #EnemiestoLovers #FoundFamily #ForcedCohabitation #SteamyRomance #EmotionalDepth #FantasyRomance #GrumpyMLSoftFL #CottageCore

Warning: Heavy sexual content and a fucked up male lead. Throw morally grey out the window. Excerpt: "Do you trust me?" His hand drifted to her neck. If he had asked her to walk into the fire with him right then, to tumble willingly into chaos, she would have said yes without hesitation. Her entire body shivered as she nodded, heart hammering, her pulse a wild drum against her ribs. "Always use your words, Bambola. Do you trust me?" he asked again. "Yes…yes…" Her back arched against him instinctively, skin flushed and glistening, every nerve screaming, every muscle taut and alive. Luca's other hand tightened at her neck, squeezing until she gasped for breath. The sensation was exquisite and terrifying, every nerve ending alight as he manipulated the fine line between restriction and pleasure. Vee squeezed her eyes shut, nails digging into his arm as she clung to him, her breath rattling in her chest. He sensed her reaching the edge and drove her closer, the hand at her neck tightening harder. "Luc…" she choked out, a fragmented plea that shattered as her body convulsed, releasing a hot, desperate wave against his fingers and the rug beneath them. Synopsis: She insulted the devil.

Garima wrote the story. Survival is what matters most to her now. A bookish nerd from today's Mumbai loved spicy snacks, stories, and staying awake past midnight. Suddenly, her eyes open in a place born from her own imagination. A world where kingdoms rise and fall. Where Devil Lords will one day plunge the continent into chaos. And where everyone believes she is the Saintess chosen by the Goddess. Home has just a single path leading back to it. Fate said it loud Garima leads fighters across a century of fights, one clash after another shaping the fate of everything. Easy... right? Truth stays clear only to Garima She wrote this world. Who stands beside them now might turn away later. What fights are headed for collapse. Armed with nothing but chaotic confidence, terrible singing, random Hindi slang that people mistake for "divine language," and the terrifying knowledge of the future, Garima begins rewriting fate itself. A loose rhythm carries her forward, voice cracking on syllables meant for gods, words slurring into decisions that bend time without warning. It's improvisation under pressure. Lines blur between guesses and truth when she speaks. The timeline stumbles, then follows her lead. Not because it should. Because there's no one else loud enough to try. Yet rewriting the tale demands something in return. If Garima slips A lie born from good intent could unravel everything she fights to protect. One hundred battles. One promise. A saintess steps off the page, her voice unscripted. She moves without permission, lines forgotten. Her silence speaks louder than vows ever could. Pages flutter to the floor, untouched by doctrine. What remains is motion, quiet and unplanned.

Reborn into a new life, with her memories intact - she carefully starts over from an infant. - Navigating her new family: [Really easy with only two parents and an estate full of servants!] - How to portray herself: [Everyone likes 'sweet' kids and trusts (underestimates) 'weak' girls!

A child that grew more than okay with it. She likes wearing the aesthetics of men's suits! > 'Pretty Good Dad' intentionally *picked on* by his 'sweet daughter', all for being a relatively 'minor obstacle'.
