Recovering alcoholic Sam isn't quite ready to let go of his failing marriage. Gord gave up his dream to care for his dying father, and now he's trapped by an inheritance he doesn't want.

When Sam's new job sends him to Gord's remote farm in the heart of the Canadian prairies, it isn't long before the two find themselves leaning on each other in ways neither expected; but between flood and wildfire and the echoes of the past, love and happiness aren't always as simple as finding someone who might want to be your second chance.

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**

WE GATHER TOGETHER by Edward L. Woodyard by EdwardLWoodyard

Sometimes you have to go far away to realize just how close you really are. A straightforward, honest and emotional journey of the heart, We Gather Together is a perceptive and joyous story about a small-town suburban family that wants to come together at Thanksgiving but cannot. Highlighting four days in the life of the McCullochs, this novel is about family and forgiveness, reunion and redemption. It also, in essence, details five love stories woven within the fabric of this one family. Each such story represents a stage of love: young and new, confident and comfortable, troubled and chaotic, tragic and traumatic, and genuine and timeless. Told with acuity and humor, We Gather Together reaffirms that our greatest moments in life are derived from our simplest pleasures. Briefly, the novel centers on Sam and Julia McCulloch as they prepare for their annual Thanksgiving dinner at their home in Westchester County, New York, when three of their four children will be there for the holiday with spouses and grandchildren. Their eldest son Scott fled years ago and has distanced himself both physically and emotionally from most in the family after an altercation with his father involving the family printing business. Each of Sam and Julia's children has his/her own dilemma: second son Drew has a business predicament and a supportive wife in Cara; only daughter Annie is split from her husband Jack Drexler who wants to reconcile because of their kids, but he loses his job, complicating the separation; and youngest son Ben considers his future while he finishes up college and becomes involved with a fellow student, Alison. Unknown to anyone in the family, Scott, a recovering alcoholic, has recently suffered a devastating personal tragedy. Wanting to be alone, he avoids any reminder of the holidays; however, he finds himself helping a desperate colleague, Maya Noguchi, by driving her east across the country to meet a deadline.

Southern Charm by anj6232

Jessie White stands out from the crowd. As a Southern woman, she defies the typical expectations for a twenty-four-year-old. While others her age might be in college or embarking on new careers, Jessie's upbringing on a ranch alongside four brothers equipped her with skills many would balk at. She's adept at horseback riding, calving, stall cleaning, and more. Fiercely independent, Jessie refuses to rely on any man, a resolve hardened after heartbreak at the hands of Max Lane, a rancher's son, two years prior. Jessie has resolved to take up bull riding, a skill that appears to be a family legacy. Her lifelong dream has been to ride a bull before an audience, but now, her ambition has shifted to rescuing the White Family Ranch after a substantial portion of their funds vanished and debts began accumulating. Max Lane's family is eager to buy the White Family Ranch, but Jessie refuses to let him take away the one thing that sustains her. Being a beauty bartender owner and a female bull rider makes things challenging. Everyone says she can't do it because she's a woman, but Jessie is determined to prove them all wrong. Initially skeptical, Trace Black doesn't recognize her potential until he witnesses her mount a bull for the first time. Although he may appear arrogant externally, that pales in comparison to his internal complexity. Trace and Jessie are initially oblivious to their chemistry, though it's evident to everyone around them. As Jessie gathers the courage to express her feelings to Trace, the things she dreads occur. However, it doesn't make matters worse; it alters everything profoundly. *WARNING* Book contains language, child loss, trauma, etc. Thank you for choosing my story!

Austin had gotten out of prison 13 years ago after he'd gone down the only path life had offered him at the time. Now, like a strange cosmic return, Austin finds more opportunity in his current situation and has spent his time as a free man carefully building a comfortable life around him, attempting to forget and shun his barbaric childhood. However, both of those shallow comforts hide deep wounds beneath them, and as Avery is catapulted into Austin's life, they unearth each other's festering scars. I can't promise I'll finish it, but I have decently high hopes, we'll see Updating on the 1st and 15th of every month :))

Kurt's hooked up a hundred times. Jon's devoutly Christian. Kurt said 'f*ck you' to the whole charade of religion that left him hurting and homeless years ago. Kurt's out, rocking his queer identity loud and proud onstage. Jon is...well, it's complicated. He thought he'd made peace with his sexuality, but his role caring for children in a Christian not-for-profit group home doesn't permit him to have a gay relationship. Jon's so stretched carrying full-time school and full-time work, he needs his housemate and best friend, Cary, to remind him to eat. Where would he even find the room for a six-foot tall, fabulously queer boyfriend? When Kurt shows up on Jon's doorstep, hungover and more fragile than he appeared under the spotlights, something has to give. Tentatively rekindling their romance in the nitty-gritty of their adult lives, Jon and Kurt have everything to lose and everything to gain if they take the risk to hold each other close. ☆Featured on the Wattpad @FreetheLGBT and @NA reading lists!☆ Straight/Gay/Bisexual/Trans/Demisexual/Ace.
