Sandie James thought her marriage was over the moment she caught her husband with another woman. Heartbroken and shattered, she ran into the night-only to be struck by a car moments later. When she wakes up in the hospital, her memories of the past several years are gone. She doesn't remember her marriage. She doesn't remember the life she built with James. And worst of all, she doesn't remember the betrayal that broke her heart. To Sandie, James is nothing more than a stranger standing at her bedside. For James, it's a cruel second chance. Torn between guilt and hope, he finds himself falling in love with his wife all over again while hiding the truth about the mistake that destroyed their marriage. As Sandie slowly pieces together fragments of her forgotten past, James must face a painful question: Should he tell her everything and risk losing her forever? Or should he let yesterday remain buried? James and Sandie: When Yesterday Fades is an emotional journey of love, heartbreak, forgiveness, and second chances-a story about two people who have lost track of yesterday and must decide whether their future is worth fighting for.

Camden Edson never believed in happily ever after. Men were fine for a good time, but love? Commitment? Marriage? Those belonged in fairy tales, not real life. After watching her father walk away from her family for another woman, Camden built her life around one simple rule: never depend on anyone. Then she met Theo Sullivan. Somehow, the brilliant cardiothoracic surgeon slipped past every defense she had. He became the one person who made forever feel possible. Two years into their marriage, Camden is thriving as a clinical psychologist while Theo begins an intense cardiovascular fellowship at the same hospital. Long hours and opposite schedules leave little time for each other, but every stolen moment reminds Camden why she took the chance. Until one weekend changes everything. When Camden receives an emergency call that her estranged father is being rushed into open-heart surgery, she desperately tries to reach Theo. His phone goes straight to voicemail. Then she calls his best friend. Only to discover Theo was never where he claimed he would be. As old wounds rip open, Camden is forced to confront more than the possibility of her husband's betrayal. She's suddenly responsible for saving the life of the man whose own infidelity destroyed her family, while questioning whether the marriage she fought to believe in was built on the very lie she swore she'd never survive twice. Some hearts can be repaired. Others never heal the same way.

Fifteen years ago, their mother disappeared. She didn't leave alone. She took two-year-old Noah De Luca with her and vanished without a trace, leaving behind five sons who spent years searching for the little brother they barely remembered. The De Luca brothers never gave up. Then, after fifteen years of dead ends and unanswered questions, a single clue finally leads them to a small diner in the middle of nowhere. They expect to find Noah. They don't expect to find her. A fifteen-year-old girl with the same eyes, the same features, and the same unmistakable De Luca blood running through her veins. Emilia. Their sister. Noah and Emilia have spent years surviving on their own. After being left in an orphanage, the two learned to rely only on each other. Eventually, they escaped and disappeared into a quiet town, where they began working at a rundown diner far from everything they had ever known. Then the De Luca brothers find them.

There are new rules, a new home, a new school, and a family they never knew they had. For Emilia, it's a world of teenage drama, friendships, secrets, and trying to figure out where she belongs. For Noah, it's learning what it means to finally have brothers again. And for the five De Luca brothers? It's learning how to survive having a teenage sister. Between school drama, family chaos, arguments, late-night conversations, and five dangerously overprotective brothers, their new life is anything but quiet. After fifteen years apart, the De Luca family is finally together. Now they just have to learn how to be a family.

Marco grew up believing cruelty was love, every bruise disguised as care, every lie packaged as truth. He found himself at a police station and got a DNA test. The results revealed more than bloodlines, they uncovered five brothers. Brothers he was never meant to find. Brothers, someone had kept from him for a reason. This is my first story, so I apologize if it's not good. Also, English is not my first language. Read the warnings!!! Slow updates! (I also edited the story, so if some comments don't make sense, it's because I changed some things, but most of it is the same. The thing I changed most was the writing.) Happy reading!! (づ˶•༝•˶)づ♡

Eleonora "Nora" was born in Italy, into a powerful family she never truly came to know. At just two years old, her life was quietly uprooted. Though her parents had separated, that was never the real reason she left. Hidden from her was a far more dangerous truth-threats from rival families that made her a target, and sending her away was the only way to keep her safe. Taken to St. Tropez with her mother, Nora grew up believing she had simply been given a different life. She was told her father had died when she was only a baby, a story carefully crafted to protect her from a world she was never meant to see, cut off from her Italian family. But the safety she was promised never truly existed. Behind closed doors, under the control of her stepfather, Nora's world slowly darkened. Years of abuse were buried beneath silence, enforced by fear and threats she was too young to fully understand, yet too terrified to ignore. When her mother is diagnosed with terminal cancer, Nora is faced with an impossible choice-tell the truth and risk breaking the fragile peace her mother clings to, or stay silent and carry the weight alone. In the end, her mother makes the choice for her. With her final act, custody of Nora is transferred to her eldest brother, Lorenzo-bringing her back to Italy for the first time since she was a toddler, and into a family she doesn't remember, yet has always belonged to. Now, free from the man who controlled her life, Nora must confront the shadows of her past and navigate a world she was never meant to be part of. Because while her stepfather disappears the moment he loses his hold over her, the damage he left behind doesn't vanish with him. And for the first time in her life, Nora must learn what it truly means to be safe... and to finally belong. ⚠️TRIGGER WARNINGS ⚠️ Sexual Abuse Physical Abuse PTSD Self Harm Suicidal Thoughts Body Dysmorphia
