In Authentically His, Soren has spent years trying to meet the expectations of others-especially her parents and the church. But no matter how hard she tried, it never felt right. After years of living under the pressure to be perfect, she's done pretending. It's time for her to live authentically-for herself and for God.

When Soren meets Liam, a man who sees her for who she truly is, not just the person others want her to be, she's faced with the most difficult question of all: Can she let go of the past, embrace the love she deserves, and allow herself to walk in faith while living authentically in her relationship?

Soren's journey is full of challenges, personal growth, faith, and, most importantly, the love she's always dreamed of-a love grounded in truth, acceptance, and the belief that God guides us all to the right path. As Soren navigates her relationship with her family, her career, and Liam, she learns that love isn't about perfection-it's about being real, vulnerable, and fully accepting the journey God has planned for her.

In this heartfelt story of self-discovery, authentic love, and unshakable faith, Soren learns that the most important relationship she can have is the one with herself. And, with Liam by her side, she discovers that she is authentically His-and authentically his, too.All Rights Reserved

What If I Was Nothing? by FearghalLorcan

They loved hard, fought harder, and broke quietly. Ryan and Hannah were supposed to last - the kind of love that survives slammed doors, sleepless nights, and promises said in the dark. But love, as they learned, doesn't always fade in one clean motion. Sometimes it unravels, thread by thread, until you wake up beside someone you no longer recognize. After years of trying to fix what was already gone, Hannah walked away. Ryan stayed - until the silence between them became too heavy to bear. Years later, Ryan has rebuilt his world. A new home. A wife who makes him laugh. A baby boy who carries his smile. He's finally found peace in the wreckage. But when Hannah reappears one morning, holding all the words she never said, both are forced to face the truth: love doesn't die - it changes. And sometimes, the hardest part isn't losing each other. It's learning to live with what remains.

Let me love you by M_scorpioxx

Scholar by WinterFantasies

[COMPLETED] [Warning: Strong language used throughout the book.] He put his hand over my notebook and the other over mine. I glared up at him, his golden brown eyes catching my attention. "I can't write like this," I pointed out. "Is this all you care about?" Ryan asked. I shrugged. "Not this specifically, but yeah, I care about my grades." Ryan smirked. I swallowed nervously but refused to break my stoic expression. He leaned closer to me, my heart pounding so hard against my chest it felt like it might break out and fall on the table between us. His mouth was right by my ear, and I could feel his warm breath when he spoke which sent shivers down my spine. "Well, aren't you a little a scholar?" *** The only things Alex Moris ever cared about were his grades and his sister. However, when the boy his sister likes, Ryan Smithe, makes things complicated and causes him to feel things he's never felt before, Alex realizes that, maybe, there's more important things in life than grades and scholarships.

Before You Replied by darasstories

Digi's summer plan was simple: work at her family's restaurant, hang out with friends, and stay out of trouble before senior year. Then Beck showed up. She didn't know he existed a month ago, and now - after accidentally texting the wrong number - he was everywhere. On the beach she's claimed as her own. In her parent's restaurant. At family events he had no reason to be at. And every time they cross paths, he managed to pull a little more of her world into his. What started as an accidental encounter turns into late-night conversations, shared secrets, and a connection Digi can't explain - or shake, despite how hard she tries. But Beck has his own past, and the closer they get, the more she realises that some people don't just walk into your life. Sometimes, they crash into it and leave nothing the same. This a story of chance meetings, cultural expectations, healing, and the kind of love they never saw coming - but couldn't walk away from. Hi guys, I hope you fall in love with Before You Replied, as much as I did while writing it. If you're into slow burns, men who are soft for their women, badass ladies, forbidden love, culture clashes, and characters who feel a little like people you know and love - then this one's for you.

A World No Longer Heliocentric by coriscc___

Bella is the girl who lost everything to cancer, and her world suddenly revolves around her sickness. She lost her friends, her mother, her confidence. Her life became a series of doctor visits, stories in her head, and hours of making up for the work she misses in school. She never expects anything out of herself or life because she doesn't want to get her hopes up. Everything changes when she gets partnered up for a physics project with Liam. Liam is the opposite of Bella, always looking at the future and keeping his hopes high. But his bipolar mother keeps him back, always derailing his life. Taking care of his mom without his dad, he always buried everything he felt. But when he gets partnered with his childhood crush for a physics project, Bella, his perspective with his mother and himself changes. They challenge each other, impacting their own mindsets and decisions, feelings for each other kindling. When Bella learns the truth of her mother leaving and when she gets to the lowest point in her life, his faith in her strength leads her to believe there's a world that doesn't revolve around her. Bella forces Liam to discover his identity without his mother's life in his hands, uncovering a vulnerable side of him. And to think that their lives together started with a physics project.

Not the best friend who became her first kiss... her first love... her everything. But when he moved across the world, he left her with nothing but a broken promise and a gold star necklace she still wears like a scar. She swore she'd wait. He swore they'd find each other again. But two weeks after he came back, he was holding another girl's hand. Now it's war. And Lisa's done playing soft. Noah thought leaving Lisa behind would protect them both. He didn't expect to fall apart without her. Neither did he expect to learn the truth-something so brutal it made him question every moment they'd ever shared and see her as a stranger in the skin of the girl he once loved. And he definitely didn't expect to fall into someone else's arms trying to forget the taste of her lips. But Lisa's not the shy girl he left behind. She's colder now. Hotter, too. And every time he looks at her like he hates her, he wants to grab her and make her remember everything. This isn't just a breakup. It's unfinished business. First love never dies.

The One Who Came Back by sunshinewhenitsgone

The Hall-Freedman childhood home was full of laughter these days. Susie and Colin had embraced parenthood, their son Carter turning the once quiet home into a whirlwind of baby giggles and endless toys. Soren was a man in motion, his life tied up with Jelena, the woman who had captured his usually guarded heart. And then there was Sawyer. The middle brother, the glue, the joker who always found a way to keep things light. As a financial analyst, he thrived on order, precision, and clarity. But at home? He lived to be the fun-loving uncle, the steady sibling who kept balance when life tilted too far in one direction. That balance shattered the moment he saw her. Olivia Bennett. His first love. His great heartbreak. The girl who had slipped through his fingers years ago when life's choices, pride, and timing got in the way. She hadn't changed much-still graceful, still luminous in a way that made everything else fade. But the reunion wasn't simply bittersweet. Olivia carried with her a truth that sent ripples through the Hall-Freedman family. A secret. One that not only forced Sawyer to face his own motto of never falling in-love again. Because Olivia hadn't just returned to town-she had come back with a connection to the Hall-Freedmans no one expected.

SHADOWS OF BROTHERHOOD by Jazmin26007

He wasn't the favorite. He wasn't the golden child. But he was the one who bled. When everything around him begins to crumble-family, love, and the secrets of a buried past-Ryan is forced to face a darkness he thought he'd left behind. What happens when the person they never really understood... becomes the only one who can save them? But saving them comes with a price. And some prices leave scars that even time can't heal. A story of sacrifice, forgotten memories, and a boy who was never supposed to be the hero. The boy they misunderstood. The one who laughed the loudest to hide the silence inside. The one who acted tough because no one noticed when he was gentle. The one who was always "too much"-too angry, too lost, too broken to fix. He was the black sheep. The storm in a house that only wanted sunshine. The one they blamed but never truly understood. They didn't know he cried himself to sleep at night. Didn't know he whispered "I'm sorry" to the shadows of parents he lost too young. Didn't know he carried the ache of abandonment in his bones every day. And when he finally found the truth-when he discovered who murdered them- he didn't hesitate. Not once.
