As Makeup Runs Down Your Cheeks by AngelaSwingSet

I still love you, you know that I woke up with my hair matted to my forehead from the sweat. Not again, I thought as I wrapped my arms around my chest and began to softly rock myself. Those words lingered in my head, desperately wanting to be said to him. Alex is a 22 year old woman trying to move away from her past and make a new life for herself, but when an opportunity arises for her to see someone who meant so dearly to her, but tossed her aside, she decided to take it hoping it would put closure on the constant pain. But she never thought that anything like this would happen. Now, she's in too deep and it may break her beyond repair. Caelan thought things would be easier this way, he thought she could make a life for herself outside of him and settle down with someone who wouldn't be constantly traveling. She deserved someone who could actually be there for her, not only a few months out of the year. Someone who had his life together and could love her to the fullest. Dillon may have left with Caelan for the tour, but he always remained closed to Alex and slowly began to love her over the years.

A Girl Crush by RockyBG

I wasn't planning on developing feelings for anyone. In a stale marriage, I had come to a place of acceptance that I wouldn't become excited by the idea of having a partner ever again. Upon meeting Alex, it doesn't take long for me to realize that my body is wasting no time in betraying me. Making my heart pound harder than it needs to and producing endless thoughts of a woman I will never be with. Alex is married to a man, and can never understand the privilege she holds or the world I come from. Stuck in a marriage that is not much more than a fragment of memories, I do not need a reminder of what I am missing out on. I should forget what I want, because my mind does not get to decide this adventure.

The Choices I've Made (By the Bay #1) by authorjlberg

Twelve years ago, he drove away with my heart in his hands. I've moved on since then. Or so I thought. Growing up in a small town, there weren't too many options when it came to friends. But, even in a sea of a million, I'd always choose Jake Jameson. I felt safe with him. Safe with my secrets, my dreams and eventually - my heart. I thought we'd have forever together. That was a long time ago. I thought I'd forgotten those piercing blue eyes and the sound of his laugh. I tried to obliterate the memory of his touch from my mind. But, one single glance, as he stands at my door, twelve years later, and I'm suddenly transported back to a simpler time when love was easy, and my heart was whole. The problem? I'm marrying his best friend.
