To Believe In Love by Axela_16

Love wasn't real, atleast not in Damelia's mind. So she made it her priority to avoid romance at all cost. Rejecting every guy that dared to challenge her belief. Yet it seemed there was just one person in her way. Julian Black... She hadn't cared at all about his good looks, charm or intelligence. Which led to her being really confused on why he was suddenly attracted to her. Yet just like all the others, she rejected him. However, when her best friend hits it off with his best friend, avoiding him becomes impossible. So for the sake of her best friend she tried to be civil. Adjusting to the merge of their groups as best as possible. Yet life has a way of being messy...

If You Love Me by slybatspidow

"If you love me, you won't leave me." Jessie has believed those words from her boyfriend, Josh, since senior year of high school. She loves him and doesn't want to leave him. Not even when he shouts at her and hits her. Jessie's best friend, Kolleen, can't stand seeing her in that situation. With a bit of convincing - and the worst beating she'd ever received - Jessie agrees to move into an apartment with Kolleen. But not long after, Jessie is scared the worst of her nightmares will soon become a reality. Josh goes missing, and suddenly Jessie would swear she's being followed. One night changes everything, and one person soon changes Jessie's outlook. A responding officer from that fateful night begins to seek her out, at first claiming it's part of his job. As she spends time with her new friend outside of his job, she starts realizing that her feelings are evolving. After being abused for over a year, Jessie is terrified she's falling in love. What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet. She makes up her mind that if he is falling, and if he does love her, he'll wait for her to be ready, and if she loves him, she won't let herself hurt him. Can the words that used to cage her in really be the key to her freedom? --- Featured On: @NA: Take a seat and let it be | Mature Content and 18+ reading list @NA: You deserve the world | Mental Health reading list Ambys Top Picks New Adult 2023

Darling, Come Water the Flowers by Kujiis

𝐒𝐢𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐄𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧 was raised from the ground up knowing nothing but comparison and perfection. She compared herself to her successful parents, supermodel sister, and glamorous friends. Instead of love, she harbored a raging jealousy for nearly everyone in her life. It was a blinding emotion she learned to cope with by controlling whatever else she could, whether it was how much she spent in a day or how much she ate. 𝐍𝐢𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐬 𝐒𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞 wouldn't know jealously if it ran him over with a semi-truck. What was there for him to be jealous of anyway? If he didn't have something, he could get it. If he didn't like something, it could be changed. How could he be jealous when he was the blueprint of what a man should be? In the eyes of the public, at least. Both with egos and problems towering upwards to the Heavens, Simone and Nicolas cross paths in the worst way possible for egomaniacs. An auction. {MAJOR TW !!! WARNING⚠️ contains eating disorders} - This story is a recovery with romance, not a romance with recovery. I'll be focusing MAJORLY on Simone's character development and healing. #1 in thatgirl (period) • 01/7/24 Very much Unedited ©kujiis 2023

Heartbreak Weather by lousfineline

Sometimes people sneak on you and suddenly you fail to remember how you ever lived without them. Causing the only road to heaven to be a consistent of moving on but not necessarily forgetting them. While overthinking sucks, everyone is familiar with its cruelty. Pessimism is always just the cherry on top of it all. With Octavia Marshall, she indeed had that cherry on top, aside with a saying she believed in...all promises are meant to be broken. Black Rodriguez, a not so ordinary guy with a troubled past, a generally bad relationship with life. Intertwining himself with the wrong business, his old mistakes lead him to a secret agreement that turns into more than that, a strange pull between two love incapable souls. Heartbreak, regret, misery, and pain interfere. Will she be able to handle the secrets behind those grey orbs? Will that saying she goes by in fact turn out real or not?

Jules' Curse (#2) by Lolkayy69

Can be read as a stand-alone. Jules never knew who she was. She never had time to figure out who she was. After an incident that happened her college year, she ran to the only person she could. There she could face more obstacles. Dealing with being a single mother, Jules is thrown out into the world that she wasn't prepared for. Watch as she navigates her way through life. watch as she allows herself to heal and love. But also remember, in this story anyone can betray anyone. Thank you Brookylnn for the cover!!! Love ya girl <3 TW:There's themes such as abuse in this story so If you know you'll get triggered then I advise you not to read. I'll try and put a Tw at the end of every chapter.

NOTE: THIS IS A SEQUEL TO EYES ON US STORY! PLEASE READ BOOK ONE FIRST BEFORE READING THIS ONE. STORY ARE FOR MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 𝗘𝗬𝗘𝗦 𝗔𝗥𝗘 𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗟𝗟 𝗢𝗡 𝗨𝗦... It's easy to love someone when things are perfect and everything's wonderful. But, to love someone when things are difficult, when they're not being perfect, when they're messing up, flaws are seen, mistakes are made...that's what really allow you to see how much love there is really. Anyone can love someone who doing and saying all the right things, being everything you want and need, when they're got it all together and it all figured it out. But, to love someone at their lowest, to love someone despite how broken they feel, when they're lost, when you're willing to stand by them no matter how challenging or difficult things may be, that kind of love is a lot more beautiful. That kind of love is a lot more meaningful. Thank you for loving me both times when things are good and bad, up and down. Thank you for taking in every aspect and part of me, accepting my flaws, forgiving my mistakes and helping me become the best version of me. 06/26/2021-02/19/2022 Rankings: #181 in black 9/16/2021 #2 in blackcharacters 9/16/2021 #570 in urban 9/16/2021 #20 in urbannovel 9/16/2021 #3 in blackstory 9/16/2021
