Summary: He was supposed to bring her home; He didn't expect to fall in love. When Colton Wolfe tells Katie the truth behind her adoption, she returns to her birth family's home to reclaim what's hers. As she spends the summer repairing the house she inherited, she and Cole will bond, becoming friends and blossoming into something more.

Colton: Half-Breed. Bastard. A young Mvskoke man whose time in a boarding school and on the battlefield had nearly destroyed everything good and innocent inside of him. Jaded and alone, he doesn't see a hopeful future for himself. It's only when a dying Seminole woman reaches out to Cole for a not so simple task that a spark he thought died long ago is reignited in his heart.

Katie: Raised by whites, spirited and hot-headed Katie Richmond, never knew the ways of her people, but then again, she never thought much about it. Her adoptive family gave her all the love she thought she needed until he came into her life. Now she longs for the family and culture she lost all those years ago.All Rights Reserved

Somewhere Between Us by wrizzy_verse

"Loving you is exhausting and hard. Give me a freaking break." he said. "Then why are you still here?", she whispered with a pale and trembling voice, holding back the tears that were willing to fall down her cheeks. Laura never wanted to fall in love with someone she couldn't touch - someone who only existed behind a screen, a voice borne by time zones and poor connections. But Evan made distance seem hazardous. He made every silence burn. "You could've stopped talking to me." she said to him once. "I tried," he said. "You just wouldn't leave my fucking head." Somewhere in between their late-night phone calls and the words they never spoke, something real started to take shape - delicate, wrong, and beautiful. But love such as theirs was going to shatter. It was constructed on waiting, on jealousy, on all the things they couldn't have. And maybe that's the cruelest kind of love - the kind that feels infinite, but ends the moment you wake up. Until Aiden walked in - the man who was real, present, and everything Evan couldn't be. Aman who had actually been beside her even when she broke his heart, even when she drifted away to chase someone who made her heart ache in ways she never imagined. "He doesn't deserve you. please wake up Lau." Aiden told her. "Then why does it still feel like he's the one?" she whispered. "You're crazy." Somewhere between what she wanted and what she needed, Laura lost control. Between time zones and heartbreak, between messages and memories, something between them had shattered. Because sometimes, love doesn't ask you to choose between two people - it asks you to choose which part of yourself you're willing to destroy.

His FireLily - (Shadowed Secrets #2) by LosMarino

Carissa Belfiore's mission was simple; hunt down the man terrorising her city and burn his syndicate's web of deceptions to the ground. The catch though? She must work together with the devil in disguise. 𐀔𐀔𐀔 Four months after the trail went dark, Cara and her team gain a second chance at retribution, at tracking down the man responsible for the mysterious chain of disappearances plaguing the streets of her town. Retribution, though, comes at a cost. Missing people and stolen identities unsolved, Cara's boss presents to her with a new ultimatum. She must pursue this mission with Asrea's top (infuriating) agent or lose the rights to the case. With no other choice, Cara must learn to thread the thin line of peace with the devil disguised as a federal agent, one who has little belief in patience and even less so for mistakes. Much like everything else though, it was easier said than done. As the two of them begin to dismantle the empire brick by brick, Cara finds herself pulling at loose strings tying the pieces of the missing puzzles connecting her past to her present. Strings, she soon realises, had been buried by the hands of someone desperately trying to keep her from finding out the truth. A truth that might just break her. No retrogrades, no reversals, and no unknowing the known. If only she could've done it alone, for even the devil must be paid his dues. The devil whose icy, blue eyes never fail to see through every shield and every shadow she'd built around her heart, the very shadows that seem to calm within his presence. The man whose icy rage threatens to thaw her blazing heart. 𐀔𐀔𐀔 First Draft Completed on 12/1/2025 Completed on 12/3/2025

THE DREAMER - Kayden's story by leighjona8

In this captivating spin-off of All That She Needs, Kayden's story unfolds, a tale of love, loss, and a second chance that could change everything. Haley was the love of his life-the girl who once saw him as her whole world. But eight years ago, everything fell apart, and Kayden had only himself to blame. Now, fate has given him another chance. Through letters and shared memories, he lays out the truth, hoping to reignite what was lost-and, most importantly, to earn her forgiveness. But Haley is torn. Drawn to Kayden in ways she can't explain, yet lost in the haunting gaps of her past, she struggles to make sense of the emotions pulling her toward him. Can she trust him? Can she trust herself? Or are some things better left forgotten? This story can be enjoyed as a standalone; however, for the best experience, I recommend reading All That She Needs first. Available now on Amazon Kindle and Kindle Unlimited.

Where The Rivers Meet (Book 4 in the Legacy of Love series) by Hoarder_of_books

In the spring of 1607, as Jamestown rises from the shores of a wild, untamed land, two souls from opposing worlds are brought together by fate and divided by history. Alistair Beaumont, a new colonist carrying the weight of his family's expectations, arrives with hopes of fortune yet finds himself unsettled by the actions of his fellow settlers. Kaya, the fierce daughter of the Monacan chief, watches the colonists with wary eyes, knowing they bring nothing but upheaval to her people's ancient lands. Drawn to each other despite the danger, Alistair and Kaya must navigate the deeply rooted mistrust of their families and communities. In a world of betrayal, cultural divides, and mounting violence, their love becomes a fragile lifeline-a promise of hope where none should exist. But as Jamestown's hunger for land intensifies, the two must make impossible choices, risking everything to protect each other and the legacy they dare to dream of. Where the Rivers Meet is a story of resilience, sacrifice, and the unbreakable bond between two people who defy convention and stand together in the face of a world determined to tear them apart. Set against the historic backdrop of America's first colony, this sweeping romance weaves together love and legacy, asking how far one is willing to go for a chance at unity and peace.

Blanchard by Joycelinexo

Six years ago, Blanchard Collins packed her bags, boarded a bus to Houston, and never looked back. She left behind her abusive father, the town that never forgave her for speaking her mind, and Rueben Bailey, the boy who broke her heart the night before they were supposed to run away together. Now twenty-four, Blanchard returns home with her five-year-old daughter, Willow, and a dying mother who's asked for one final thing-her presence. But coming home means facing the ghosts she thought she'd buried, including the man she's never truly stopped loving. Rueben "Benny" Bailey did what his family expected. Stayed, took over the farm, and proposed to the girl everyone said was right for him. But when Blanchard walks back into church with a little girl who looks just like him, everything he's built starts to fall apart.

The eternality in our ephemerality by alizarragaa

Without hesitation we fall... He saved her from dying. He saw her and hated her. He's both her savior and tormentor. But when he saw another man trying to to get close to her..... "i can't fall in love with the one girl i vowed i would hate till eternity seemed short, but if our souls diverge from each other, then why do our hearts ache to pull us closer?" This story is for the helpless romantics who know that behind hate there is a need for love, that behind a sweet smile there are thousands of tears being held back, and that behind a perfectly ornamamented family there are cracks awaiting to be ripped. @thee.officialbook
