That's when her heart shattered to pieces even more. But when she meets the new neighbor that's moved into the beach house next door, she didn't expect to find a deep attraction to the very single Dakota Jackson.

For once, Izzie fights to keep her heart intact - vowing that another person won't shatter it like it's been done in the past. Dakota knows the feelings are there, but he also knows that he holds the key to destroying it all.

Starting With You by AngieMahlke

Romance trope: best friends to lovers. "You're supposed to be my best friend, but all I can think about is kissing you again." TEDDY: I somehow got stuck in the unfortunate "one of the guys" category. It was on accident, naturally falling into this role since my childhood best friend was a boy. The crush on my best friend was also an accident. He's always seen me as one of the guys. That is, until the one drunken night he didn't. The one that nearly ruined everything a decade ago. JENSEN: It was much easier when I didn't notice how hot my best friend is. It would be even better if the rest of the jackoffs in our small town would stop noticing too. I can still remember all the details from our night together years ago. The night we never talk about, yet it's still so fresh in my mind. But will a secret scar from a past relationship ruin everything? [This is BOOK ONE of the WITH YOU series, a small town romance series set in Minnesota about the lives of the dysfunctional, blended Anderson family - with an interwoven mystery built into the background that spans the entirety of the series.] **Title formerly The Rest of Forever**

The Things We Couldn't Forget by Shelby_Painter

Growing up with a nickname like Misery can seem like the worst thing to happen to a girl. That is, until you find out that your father is a serial killer. Ten years after escaping the town that would never allow her to escape her father's dark shadow, Missouri Jacobs returns to Faulkner Montana with one mission in mind. She needs to settle her family's estates, then she can take that money and start a new life, maybe even with a new name, someplace no one knows her or the stories that surrounded her family. However, returning to her childhood home brings back all of the memories Missouri has been spending years trying to forget. And a chance run in with a boy she once loved with all of her heart makes not drowning in those memories over and over even harder. All set to leave, Missouri wants nothing more than to put Faulkner and everything that happened there truly in the past once and for all, but then... Another girl goes missing. Then another. Then another. Wrapped in a fog of déjà vu and separating the present from her past, Missouri is determined not to be blindsided this time. This new killer might be playing games with her, but this time, she's going to be the one to end this all, or she'll die trying.

𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐋𝐮𝐜𝐤, 𝐁𝐮𝐠 by SojourningGhosts

𝐀𝐧 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐭, 𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐫, 𝐚 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐧, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚 𝐛𝐚𝐛𝐲 𝐠𝐢𝐫𝐥. Sorrow, lust, fear, and impulsivity. These visceral emotions are bleeding anthropology; cut the wrist of humanity and watch them seep out. A small seaside town on the hazy coast of Newick, Washington understands the poetry of life better than anywhere else. The ocean rumbles and groans for the bitter, while the backroads carry away the renegades to the tune of cicadas and rain. It's a tired hollow, a place to rest your head on the outskirts of the world. But... word travels fast. Incandescent rumors turn to wildfire - all it takes is a morsel of gossip to feed a starving town, and curious night fellows are often the most hungry. That's an unfortunate truth for a girl with scarred hands, a man who made a mistake and a woman who he begs for forgiveness from, a strange, tattooed foreigner, and a quarterback that walks the streets with a stroller. What will become of them? Only time can tell, and she's the most ravenous of all... tragically, she already knows all their secrets.

Everything Has Changed by paperandpen444

"If you asked me three months ago what heartbreak was, I would tell you it's losing somebody close to you due to unspeakable circumstances. But right now, in this moment, I would say it's you. I would say it's the feeling I got in my chest when I realized I was out of time. When I stood in the rain and yelled for you to stay, but all I saw was your back. I would say heartbreak is lying in bed at two in the morning, watching my ceiling fan go around and around, wondering why you couldn't stop to listen. Two seconds. All I needed was two seconds to say the words. All I needed was to seconds for me to tell you I was in love with you. With everything about you. With the way you move, and the feeling of your arms around me. With the feeling of your chest vibrating as you laugh. Heartbreak is falling in love with everything about you, but having the words permanently stuck in my throat." _____ Gracelyn Levinsky grew up with Daniel Grey. She has always looked to him as a brother, but when she escapes from her abusive Mom and moves to the same town Danny moved to when he was ten, she finds out that he's in love with her. After countless attempts to get her to feel the same, Danny gives up. But when Grace realizes just how much she does love Danny, words can't help her because he shut her out of his life completely.

[COMPLETED] When Angeline married Nathan Snyder, it was supposed to give her the perfect life. Her dream was shattered the first time her husband laid a hand on her, showing her that the life she'd married into was going to be anything but perfect. Now a twenty-five-year-old pastry chef, Angeline reaches a breaking point with Nathan's abuse when he does the unthinkable: he threatens her life. Angeline knows that this path only leads one of two ways: either she lives with Nathan and his abuse, or she allows him to take her life from her. Instead, Angeline chooses a third option. She risks everything-and runs. Escaping to a small, rural Texas community, Angeline changes her name to Aaliyah and hopes to start a new life. Traumatized by her past, she never expects to find comfort in another man again-until Jason Moore, a twenty-nine-year-old, winemaker and part-time sales associate sweeps her off her feet with more kindness and compassion than she's ever experienced. Angeline knows that Nathan would search the ends of the earth to find her and make her pay for leaving him. But when Angeline can't stop herself from falling for Jason, she's forced to face a difficult choice: Can she escape her past and be with Jason, or is she risking his life by loving him?

She lands in Wildflower Valley, a tiny town in Canada with a population of just 4,000 - a place small enough to hide, but only if she keeps her head down. The plan is simple: stay invisible, start over, and make sure no one ever uncovers her real identity. But when Colt James, a rugged cowboy with looks straight out of a magazine, offers her a job as a nanny for his son, Jamie, Mia can't say no. It's the perfect escape. Except there's one hitch: living under the same roof as the man who notices everything. She's spent almost half a year running, but with Colt, there may be nowhere left to hide.
