Arabella never meant to get close to someone like him. Warren is reckless, unreadable, and surrounded by rumors that make people run. But the more she's warned to stay away, the more she wants to know why he hides behind those walls...and why he can't seem to stay away from her either.
ββββΰ¨ΰ§ββββ
Warren Reid is a name everyone in town knows, and not for good reasons. He left a student unconscious before disappearing into juvie, and now that he's back, the rumors are worse than ever. With a past that whispers warnings and a reputation that silences rooms, Warren is used to being feared, not understood. Emotions are weaknesses in his world, and vulnerability has never been an option.
Until her.
Arabella Winters is the picture of perfection and the last girl anyone would expect to cross paths with someone like Warren. Smart, sweet, and sheltered, she follows every rule her parents set, never once stepping out of line. But one knock on Warren's door throws her into his world, and nothing is the same after that.
Everyone says he's trouble, but Arabella doesn't see the monster they all fear. She sees someone broken, someone hiding wounds no one else bothers to look for. What starts as innocent curiosity turns into something neither of them can ignore. She's drawn to the shadows he hides in, and he can't stay away from the light she doesn't even know she carries.
Now Arabella has to ask herself: is she helping Warren escape the darkness...or is she just letting it swallow her too?

She's a wild, free spirit who sees the good in everyone, and he's the hardened, bad-tempered loner who wants nothing to do with her-yet no matter how hard he tries to push her away, she's the one temptation he can't escape. *** He's never met someone with such a bubbly personality. Not to mention the wildness and odd phrases she says every five minutes. He hates it. He hates how he can't stay away from it. He hates what she does to him; it's not like him to chase after some girl. She gets under his skin like no other. She's never met someone with such a bad attitude. He's ill-mannered and menacing. The glare never seems to leave his face. Considering it all, she can't help but feel the attraction toward him. Dangerous attraction toward a seemingly dangerous man. Maybe it's the tattoos on his arm that gets her attention. Or maybe it's because she can tell there's hope for good under his rough exterior. And she's about to find it, whether he likes it or not. It's no secret that the two of them are complete and total opposites. *** "You like being called Sugar, don't you?" I tease, placing my toothbrush back after finishing. He does the same and gives me a side-eyed scowl. He grips my chin harshly and kisses me. My body temperature raises a good ten degrees and my right leg goes all wiggly. He pulls away. "You like it when I kiss you, don't you?" He teases the same way I did to him and I'm left blubbering. "I think both of our questions are rhetorical," I lower my voice up at him. His lip curls up into a smirk. *** #1 in Young Adult #9 in Badboy #1 in Cold #3 in Goodgirl #1 in Sweetheart #14 in Love *** *Warning* This story contains mature themes (language, scenes)Complete
I Can't Breathe (ONGOING) The Bad Boy And The Broken Girl
Leah Campbell couldn't remember the last time she had been truly happy. She was so consumed by her broken home and the inner struggles consumed her, pushing her deeper into her thoughts, and she felt like she was fading away. Only her best friend, Lily, seemed to see her silent battle. Reed Wake was the classic bad boy, no fucks given. He did what he wanted when he wanted. Whether it be by his charm or his family name, he never had an issue with rejection. Until Leah. Reed Wake had always been curious about her, ever since the first moment, he had met her eyes through his bedroom window. He had been completely taken aback by her beauty and all he could do was stare. Right until the moment she abruptly closed her curtains on him. Unfortunately for Reed, she had refused to do so much as glance at him. Barely acknowledging any words he had ever said to her. Reed was always angry at Leah for reasons she did not know, and she couldn't help but retaliate to his unexplainable distaste for her with her own angry remarks. Somehow she always manages to get under his skin and this worked well for Leah, having an outlet for all the anger and frustration trapped inside her. As Leah's home-life gets worse and her mental health declines rapidly, her only relief is found in the addictions she tries so desperately to hide. Leah has her best friend fooled, and yet when it comes to Reed she can't shake the feeling that he sees right through her. Leah is suffocating, will Reed realise before it's too late? #3 - savemefrommyself // 29 Jan. '22 #44 - badboynextdoor // 19 Jan. '22 #4 - nextdoorneighbor// 16 Dec. '23
My Boyfriend's Brother
Some love stories begin with a kiss. Others begin with a lie. Elisa Kai never meant to fall for the golden boy next door. Damien Jackson was everything she wasn't-effortless smile, easy confidence, and the kind of charm that made the whole world orbit around him. Elisa? She was the quiet girl everyone whispered about-the one who stared at the Jacksons' perfect life from her window, convinced she didn't belong in their world. Convinced she didn't belong at all. But then, she crossed a line. And Damien chose her. For a while, it felt like a dream. Like she was finally more than just the rumors. But every fairytale has a shadow. Drake Jackson is that shadow. Damien's younger brother is sharp where Damien is soft, chaotic where he's calm-and he watches Elisa like he knows exactly what she's hiding. He's arrogant. Infuriating. Always one step too close with a smirk that drives her insane. And worse? He never goes away. When Damien leaves for college, everything changes. Drake becomes the new king of the school while Elisa is fighting to make a name for herself in fashion. And what was once teasing turns into something darker. Something magnetic. Then Damien comes back. Now Elisa is caught between the boy who made her feel seen-and the one who never stopped watching. Old sparks reignite. New tensions boil over. What started as a simple love story begins to unravel into something far messier, far more dangerous. Secrets simmer beneath the surface-about the past, about what's real, and about the Jackson brothers themselves. And then...tragedy shatters everything. What follows is heartbreak, silence, and blame. As the rumors grow louder, the whispers get crueler, and her world spins further out of control, Elisa must face one truth: Sometimes, the person who saves you... is also the one who could destroy you. And not every love story survives the truth.
Off-Limits
Mia James always knew the rules-her brother Jordan's best friend, Enzo, was completely off-limits. But rules were never meant to be easy. Enzo has been a constant presence in her life, a shadow in the background-silent, brooding, untouchable. He doesn't let people in. He doesn't talk about his past. He keeps his distance from everyone... except Jordan. But when Mia, Jordan, and Enzo all end up at the same college, the lines between them start to blur. Suddenly, Enzo isn't just the guy who crashes on their couch, the guy who barely acknowledges her existence. He's everywhere-on campus, at parties, in her thoughts. And Mia can't ignore the way he looks at her when he thinks no one is watching. The closer she gets, the more she realizes Enzo is hiding more than just his emotions-he's carrying the weight of a family he never talks about, scars he refuses to show. And while Mia starts to see the cracks in his carefully built walls, she knows one thing for sure... Falling for Enzo is a mistake. But some mistakes are worth making.Complete
Sins of Aiden
