Bleeding Heart
Fate is a fickle, miserable thing.One boy trying to run away from its clutches. One girl trying to gather all its broken pieces together.𝗔𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝘀 𝗜𝗿𝘄𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗴𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘆 is one breath away from decking the next person who even so much as mentions her parents' names in front of her. Moving back to her small, conservative hometown (where your business was everybody else's business too) was a mistake--a mistake she'd make again if only that would get her little brother to not hate her anymore.There wasn't anything else there for her anymore. The one constant in her life had run away; her old life was gone. All that she had, 𝘭𝘦𝘧𝘵.Except for her baby brother who refuses to even talk to her. And the secrets of her past that always just stayed.𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘄𝘀 is two seconds away from telling his father to fuck himself in the jail cell he's still stuck behind. His father's men are after him, because they never have anything better to do, and Blake's too much of a patient man to admit this but, he's getting tired of running.He's rarely ever given second chances, though--bad guys never get that luxury. And he hadn't meant to steal. Not really. But now that he's battered and bruised, with an address scribbled on the postcard he'd in fact 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘭𝘦𝘯, he follows it to the one person who might still be willing to stop him before he masochistically gives in to his father again.Because who's to say his past won't catch up? It always does......Text copyright © Crystal7016 ™ 2024…
Ryder
Alice Rhodes's got a problem.Two problems, actually.One, she's starting to find it harder and harder to differentiate water from a decent bottle of tequila, and two, she needs a boyfriend. Fast.The latter wouldn't be a problem at all if only she could keep her dates around for more than a week. It was a disaster how fast boys kept dumping her just because...well, she didn't really understand why.Attachments were scary, especially when they were mostly always unrequited. And as long as she kept them a kiss away, they wouldn't tear her apart, would they?But then the universe, in its cruelest of ways, sends her stumbling into the path of Ryder Octavio McQuillan, and every single thing about him sets her off balance. He's everything Alice doesn't need in her quiet life. Because Ryder carries secrets--dangerous secrets--that only seem to breathe trouble.Alice desperately needs to stay away, but what if the only thing that can save her is the danger that's knocking on her door?.....Text copyright © Crystal7016 ™ 2022…

Bitter Heart √
Caden Miller.Hot, cynical, and notoriously labelled the bad boy of Crestmont High. Attention-seekers flirt with him. Idiots fight with him. The ones who know what's good for them, stay away from him. If you fight him, you know you'll lose soon. Short-tempered, mysterious, and those oh-so-hot looks. All of that was enough for a person to fall head over heels for him.If only he cared to give a shit about them.Not when he was also the youngest gang leader in New York City, with just one mission in mind: stop his equally cynical brother from ruining his life more than he already had. Skylar Anderson.Not a nerd. Or a cheerleader. All she cares about is her workaholic (and maybe even a little dysfunctional) parents, her adorable cat and her not-so adorable best friend, and her sleep. Quite literally. Living a normal and carefree life, trying her best not to flunk Physics, there wasn't anything more that she wanted. Until she receives a letter in her mailbox......and that normal, carefree life goes right above the clouds...."Tʜᴇ ᴘʀᴏʙʟᴇᴍ ɪꜱ," ʜᴇ ꜱᴀɪᴅ ᴀꜱ ʜᴇ ʟᴇᴀɴᴇᴅ ᴄʟᴏꜱᴇʀ, "Iғ ɪ ᴋɪꜱꜱ ʏᴏᴜ, ɪ ᴅᴏɴ'ᴛ ᴛʜɪɴᴋ ɪ'ᴅ ʙᴇ ᴀʙʟᴇ ᴛᴏ ꜱᴛᴏᴘ."#2 in Chick-lit#1 in Humor#7 in Romance#1 in Teen Fiction #3 in The Grace Awards 2019Text copyright © Crystal7016 ™ 2018Cover credits: @youtumblrgeek ✨…

And Dahlia couldn't, for the life of her, understand why.Despite being the city's masked hero, which was a big responsibility on its own, Dahlia couldn't help but dread if it was her normal citizen life she should be more concerned about...."Kɪssᴇs, ᴍʏ ʟᴏᴠᴇ," ʜɪs ʟɪᴘs ᴡʜɪsᴘᴇʀᴇᴅ ᴀɢᴀɪɴsᴛ ᴍʏ sᴋɪɴ.
