Hopeful Stories

A New Adult Coming-of-Age Romance. Finding Love. Finding Home. Finding Yourself. Love doesn't always point north-sometimes it points inward. At twenty-two, Eleanor "Nell" Brooks feels unmoored-finished with college, uncertain of her future, and quietly exhausted from living the life everyone else planned for her. When a fractured family tie and an unexpected opportunity pull her away from the city to a small coastal town she once swore she'd never return to, Nell hopes only for distance and clarity. Instead, she finds Cal Rowan-steady, intuitive, and rooted in a place she's still afraid to claim. As Nell rebuilds herself piece by piece, Cal challenges her to stay present, to stop running from who she's been and who she's becoming. Together, they navigate first real love, adult choices, grief, ambition, and the terrifying beauty of choosing a life on purpose. But when the road forward demands sacrifice, Nell must decide: follow the map she was given-or trust the compass of her heart.

After being tortured by the ninth ring, he is finally offered peace of death and given back his feelings that he sacrificed to the shadow wars, including guild. So how was he ever supposed to resist a call for help, even if an unusual one?

What happens when your journey to find God leads you to someone who feels like a miracle? Anjali Jacob is shattered. After months of betrayal, toxic friendships, and cruel rumors at university, she's left isolated, doubting her worth, and clinging to a faith that feels like a distant memory. Desperate for solace, she joins a pilgrimage to Havenstow a holy pace of Our Lady Of North Star, hoping to find a shred of peace in the ancient holy site. There, she finds more than she prayed for, a group of true friends who see her, not her past. And him. Rhys Francis is the quiet, unshakable leader of the youth prayer group-a young man whose faith burns as bright and steady as a star. When their paths cross in the sacred space, something in Anjali's broken spirit shifts. She's drawn to him in a way she can't explain, a quiet longing that feels both holy and terrifying. But this isn't just a story about a crush. It's a story about healing. As Anjali navigates her new community, her rekindled faith, and the silent pull toward Rhys, she must untangle a sacred question: Is this feeling a distraction from God, or could it be a path leading her closer to Him?

just something I thought up after reading too many twin flame posts. may this find those who need it. if it isn't needed I'm fine with being obscure. I hold faith in all I speak of. but also I'm not sure if I'm mean or not in it so be patient. good luck on this read.

Some words are never spoken, and some apologies never reach the one they're meant for. This book holds the poems, letters, and thoughts I kept inside - all meant only for you. I lost you because of my own mistakes, and I carry that truth every day. These are the things I wish I could have said - the love, the regret, the memories that won't let go. I write these words because they still belong to you. Maybe you'll never read them, but if you ever do... I hope one day you'll forgive me. 💌🥀 #1 in longings on 1st jan 2026 #1 in forhim on 1st jan 2026 #1 in notoveryou on 3rd jan 2026 #1 in unsentletters on 12th jan 2026.

So when his teacher asks him to tutor Alex, a quiet boy with failing grades and tired eyes, it feels simple enough. Until it isn't.

If you're looking for a soft, drama-free romance... then this story isn't for you. Because this isn't the ending you might expect. It's something deeper, something that lingers long after the last page. This is an enemies-to-lovers slow burn, a love that began with tension, sharp words, and two people who genuinely couldn't stand each other. But hatred has a strange way of softening... and sometimes the person you never wanted becomes the person you can't let go of. For the first time in her life, she allowed herself to love fully, fearlessly, and without holding back. She gave him her heart, and he promised to protect it... until the day he became the one who shattered it. He taught her what it meant to fall deeply, hopelessly in love and then made her wish she had never believed in love at all. His betrayal didn't just break her; it rewrote everything she thought she knew about trust, loyalty, and forever. She lost pieces of herself she never imagined she could lose. She fell apart quietly, painfully... almost beyond repair. But this isn't just a story about heartbreak. It's a story about a girl who learns that even after the deepest wounds, the heart still remembers how to rise. Because sometimes the greatest love story we live is the one we learn to rebuild within ourselves. This is not the happily-ever-after you expect. It's raw. It's real. It lingers. Because sometimes, forever doesn't begin at the start... It begins Until Evermore. #Business #love #betrayal #slowburn #enemiestolovers
