Woundedhero Stories

She was all ink and fire... a girl with short hair, sharp words, and a softness she kept hidden like a scar. He was bruised knuckles in designer suits, a man born to glass towers but drawn to the blood-soaked underground. When Kelly Corvelle crashes into Kla de VERRIS, she doesn't know she's met the city's most feared underground fighter. And Kla... he didn't expect the girl with storm-colored eyes to look at him like he wasn't broken. In a world where pain is currency and silence hides the deepest wounds, they find in each other a quiet, dangerous kind of pull. Not the kind that saves... but the kind that stays.

He left without a word. Seven years later, he's back-scarred, silent, and standing in her doorway Leila lives a quiet life inside a forgotten bookshop. The world outside may have kept moving, but in here, everything waits-soft candles, lavender nights, and one empty window seat she never let go of. Then he returns. Tommy doesn't ask for forgiveness. He doesn't say much at all. But when he looks at her, it feels like thunder waiting to break the sky. She should shut the door. But she doesn't. Because some people leave marks so deep, even time doesn't dare erase them. In the flicker of candlelight and the silence of almost-kisses, two broken souls will face the truth: This isn't just about the past. This isn't just a second chance. This is the beginning of belonging. "Don't kiss me like you're about to leave. Kiss me like you plan to stay." #slowburn #secondchance #broodyboy #emotionalromance #bookshopromance #woundedhero #stormykiss #softlove #healinglove #youbelongnow #PixiePeach #comfortreads

In a world ruled by tyrants and kings, the fate of a holy nation rests on the valiant shoulders of one woman: her beauty a weapon, her faith a shield. JUDITH is a fictional re-imagining of the events depicted in the Apocrypha's Book of Judith, as well as the untold years leading up to her legendary encounter with Assyrian general Holofernes. During their fateful meeting, she saved her people with a single, irreversible act, bringing an empire to its knees. This series traces Judith's transformation long before history remembers her name. We follow her early life, including her marriage to the enigmatic Manasseh, a haunted man shrouded in rumors and secrecy. Their union forges her destiny and reshapes the woman she'll become. With the steadfast help of her God, Judith goes from dutiful daughter to reluctant bride to fearless strategist, learning to wield power in a world designed to deny it. Meanwhile, as Judith's world narrows inward, General Holofernes' unfolds beyond her village walls. King Nebuchadnezzar's most feared tactician leads a ruthless campaign across the region, crushing cities through terror, siege, and calculated brutality. Brilliant, broken, and dangerously devout in his loyalty to the empire, Holofernes isn't a distant villain but a looming presence whose cunning will reshape every choice Judith makes. Part biblical war epic. Part sweeping romance. Part family saga. Part psychological thriller. JUDITH isn't just a powerful story, it's a propulsive, character-driven series about faith that saves, the quiet forging of feminine resolve, and the price of defying tyranny. It's a tale that begins with a marriage born in scandal and ends with the single stroke of a blade. Author's Note: JUDITH portrays the biblical world as a Shemitic and African-connected ancient Near Eastern society. The characters are written as Black, reflecting historical scholarship, geography, and lineage often overlooked in traditional portrayals.

Teo Hallberg returned to Gothenburg chasing a comeback that no longer felt like his. Once the NHL's golden boy, now he's fighting through injuries, bad press, and the quiet weight of depression he won't admit to anyone. Liv has built her career on control, hiding her battle with Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension behind professionalism and strict boundaries. The last thing she needs is to get involved with a hockey player, especially one whose life is already a media circus. But Teo isn't what she expected.

And against her better judgment, their routine check-ups turn into late-night walks, playful texts, and a pull she can't ignore. But life off the ice is harder than any game. Nova Källström's media-perfect appearances, Anton Vahlgren's easy charm, and Liv's own health struggles threaten to pull them apart before they ever fully get a chance.

Set against the backdrop of Gothenburg's hockey scene, Life Playbook is a slow-burn, emotional sports romance about second chances, choosing love over fear, and finding home where you least expect it.

"The war may have ended, but the ghosts it left behind are still fighting." Thirty years after the Third Continental War decimated nations and disbanded governments, the new world is ruled by corporate city-states and "peace" is enforced by autonomous units trained to kill without question-the Ghost Units. Kael Riven, once a war hero and the youngest captain in Ghost Unit history, walked away after a final classified mission broke his mind and shattered his squad. Branded as dead and hidden in the smog-choked slums of Sector 9, Kael lives a quiet life among the forgotten-until his younger sister, Sera, is kidnapped by the very regime he once bled for. Framed for war crimes, Kael has no choice but to resurface. But the more he uncovers, the more he realizes: the war never truly ended. His squad's betrayal was orchestrated. Sera's abduction was a message. And the enemy now pulling the strings... wears the face of an old brother-in-arms. To save his sister, Kael must return to the battlefield, reclaim his exosuit, and reunite the fractured members of Unit 17-now scattered, broken, or enemies. But every step forward brings him closer to a truth buried beneath layers of propaganda, blood, and machine. > In a world where silence was once survival, Kael Riven will raise hell.
