I was frozen to my spot, watching his slightly darkened eyes roam my body and I couldn't help the embarrassment that suddenly coursed through me. Heat rushed up to my face as I timidly moved my eyes away from his intense gaze, crossing my bare legs over one another as I bit my lip. I felt completely vulnerable. The silence was soon thankfully broken when he cleared his throat, bringing my eyes back up to find him turn around to shut the bedroom door. ----------------------------------------------------------- Constantly having to move from town to town due to her father's condition was never easy for Aria Clark. Her father meant everything to her and although it's hard for her as a young teenager to start fresh every time she learns to get comfortable, she vows to do anything to be by her father's side. With no expectations she once again enters a new town, planning to get through the school years until she is told to move again. But what if Harlow is not like the other towns she had moved to in the past? What if the town and the people in it completely change her life and bring about an experience she may have never imagined? What if she was able to make friends who would stand by her for lifetime, delivering her new hopes for the future? What if they entirely change her perspective on how she sees the world and herself? And what happens when she meets Grayson Stone?

With a drug lord for a father and an addict for a mother, Jade Taylor has been dealt a pretty shabby hand in life. Her childhood was spent in a constant state of fear, her only solace being her two half-sisters, Charlotte and Bailey, who were forced to live the nightmare alongside her. Her father finally got caught when she was seven and for a fleeting, white-hot second, it seemed that things were going to be okay. She should've known better. She should've known that her mother would jump ship, choose the drugs and not the daughter. Suddenly left abandoned, navigating the murky waters of life in care, it took a little while longer for Jade to find her place in the world. Now, finally, she has. At the age of eighteen, Jade is counting down the days before her exams are over, excited to spend the summer with her two best friends and boyfriend. Unfortunately, things don't always go according to plan... not in a town like Greencliff. Upon meeting the Coleman's - a family that fits so perfectly into the 'gang' culture she so desperately wants to avoid - Jade finds herself teetering on the edge of a blade, carefully balanced between the life she wants and the life she wants to escape. The question is... which way will she fall? (This description is a work in progress and may be subject to change!)

Danielle Carter thought her biggest challenge was surviving her final year of high school-until she bumped into Lorenzo Russo. At 25, Lorenzo is everything she should avoid: dominant, possessive, and dangerously tied to the Italian mafia. Yet, his world pulls her in, igniting a passion she can't escape. As Danielle tries to balance her ordinary life with the intensity of Lorenzo's, her best friend Jasmine crosses paths with Damien, Lorenzo's loyal and equally dangerous right-hand man. Sparks fly between them, but the deeper they get involved, the darker the shadows around them become. Enemies lurk, secrets unravel, and loyalty is tested at every turn. Lorenzo will stop at nothing to keep Danielle safe, but with his enemies closing in, their love may come at a cost neither of them are prepared to pay. Will Danielle embrace the dangerous passion that binds her to Lorenzo? Or will the darkness of his world tear them apart before their story even begins?
