When the World Went Quiet by graciejrogers

The cities are gone. The governments fell. The lucky died fast. Grace Selene has lost everything-the husband she loved, the child she couldn't save, the world she once understood. All that remains is the road, her healer's pack, and a promise to keep moving. When a strange, luminous moss heals a wound that should have killed her, Grace begins to suspect the world isn't finished with her yet. Power hums beneath her skin-wild, ancient, and impossible. It could save what's left of humanity...or destroy her. Across the ashes of the Midwest, rumors whisper of a place called Haven-a settlement where fires still burn through the night. Grace means to find it, or die trying. On the same road walks Steve Rogers, a soldier burdened by ghosts of his own. Trained to protect and born to lead, he's searching for something worth defending again. When their paths cross, survival stops being a solitary act-and becomes a promise neither of them expected to make. In a land where mercy is rarer than sunlight, When the World Went Quiet begins the story of what comes after the end-of healing, hope, and the kind of love that can survive the silence. ⚠️This is not a sunshine story. It is dark and gritty, while the characters will eventually get their happily ever after it is not a story for the faint of heart. There is mention of sexual assault, rape, abuse, forced pregnancy , abortions, murder and death. Read with caution ⚠️

The Boy She Illegally Brought To The Lavender Field (bwwm) by Idkhowtostopwriting

(If you read 'Bunny' then you know that towards the end there is a movie plot. I came up with it just so the movie Willow would be in sounded realistic and good but I couldn't let it go so I wrote this book based off of it but with a few changes added after finding out there's apparently already a movie similar to the movie mentioned in 'Bunny'. This story contains true events and is now based on multiple real stories put into one.) "God owes me now and I want it paid back in full." In the south of Mississippi during the civil rights movement, two families seem tied together regardless of how many times they try to break apart. In the height of racial injustice and the fight back, the Moore and Ross families are plagued with hard choices, evil people and scary experiences. Read this book to be a part of both family stories as they learn it's okay to be selfish and live the life they deserve. (Warning: story contains violence, murder, attempted r***, slurs, and other harsh language. Reader discretion advised.)

The Forgotten Ones (A Completed Steamy, Historical Romance) by gracemadden1234

We know a lot about the American Civil War. We know about the battle at Gettysburg and how Sherman burned Atlanta but do you know many individual stories? Follow Oliver and Naomi from their arranged marriage through the war. It will be quite a journey as Naomi faces the war home alone and Oliver fights battle after battle. She will face one of the cruelest band of the southern militia army as she tries to protect the people she loves most. This is a story about the ones left home during the war. The one's who earned no great merit or place in history. The forgotten heroes of a bloody war that stood for freedom and equality for all Americans. I based some of facts in the story on writings left behind by my family that lived here in Indiana in the 1860s. My ancestors were Quaker and they were abolitionists in Indiana. We still have their homes used in the underground railroad in our family. My other side was endangered servants from Ireland and my great-great-grandfather was, unfortunately, one of the soldiers that came to Indiana while serving under John Hunt Morgan. He was the rest of my family's enemy. https://www.wattpad.com/646167251-the-forgotten-ones-a-completed-steamy-historical Please keep in mind this story is based in America during the 1860s and it was a different time.

When a fever nearly kills him in a border town, he's saved by Emmaline McGraw - a sharp-tongued, soft-hearted woman with her own ghosts and a brother out west. Together, they set out across a country, still bleeding from war, chasing rumors, wagon trails, and hope through dust and danger.

Under bitter skies, every mile brings him closer to the truth: some things lost can still be found - if a man's willing to bleed for them.
