One decision, that's all it was, but it was a decision that changed all their lives.

Door County, Wisconsin 1941
Hazel Allen has spent her entire life growing up along the shores of Green Bay in the quiet town of Ephraim, Wisconsin. Despite the beauty of this quaint little coastal town, Hazel has always craved something more. No longer satisfied by living vicariously through her books, she desires to leave her sheltered upbringing and explore the world. But when she stumbles into a handsome stranger named Thomas, her life is completely turned upside down. The love they share is the type that Hazel has only read about in novels, but unlike her books, their story is not headed for a happy ending. Their whirlwind romance is tragically cut short when Thomas is called to war. In his absence she is faced with one of the most difficult decisions of her life; a decision that could irreparably alter the lives of everyone she loves.

Door County, Wisconsin 1960
Growing up in a small town in northern Wisconsin, life is far from exciting for 18-year-old Ruby, but all of that is about to change. After the death of her grandmother, Ruby stumbles across a box of love letters nearly twenty years old. The letters tell the tragic story of two young lovers torn apart by war, but they also contain a secret that has been kept for two decades. As Ruby unravels the truth, she finds herself falling in love with a fisherman new to town. She discovers that her own love story eerily mirrors that of the young woman in the letters and she realizes that the simplest of choices can set forth a series of events that may have lasting consequences. In order to move forward, Ruby must look to the past and decide whether it is scarier to take a chance and risk everything or to live her life always wondering, what if?All Rights Reserved

Home is a Four Letter Word by hannagustin

(Book One) Jake Holmes hadn't put much thought into what home meant until Connor Morgan asked him to. He had settled with an idealistic fantasy. A life in the closet, complete with the girl he could bring home to momma, a house next to his best friend, and 2.5 kids. It didn't require thought, it didn't require confrontation, and it sure as hell didn't require him to reject everything he had ever learned about what life was and what made it worth living. But Connor did. Connor wasn't meant to happen. He ended up in Jake's life by chance, but Jake kept him there by choice. Connor was a pipedream stuffed away inside the ridges of Jake's mind that dared him to question everything for a life of authenticity. A life with Connor was something close enough to touch if he only knew how to reach for it. Jake's feelings for Connor become unmistakable, but the grip his past has on his ability to embrace the possibility of a life where he lets those feelings win threatens to leave him with a desperate choice he isn't equipped to make. As Jake struggles to find home within his identity, he is forced to combat the part of his heart that is stuck in the past with the part of his heart that yearns for a future. What is home if not where the heart is? Completed. Book 1 of 3. Sequel releases coming soon.

Whispers of our Hearts (gxg) by thegayykid

Hazel and Ivy are inseparable-best friends in a small town where any deviation from the norm is critically viewed. Their friendship has seen them through the ups and downs of adolescence, but when deep connection unexpectedly turns into tender feelings, their worlds are thrown into turmoil. Hazel is unsure of her feelings-friendship or love? Ivy knows what she wants, but fear of the unknown and the reactions of her conservative surroundings hold her back. Amidst family tensions and societal expectations, the two struggle to understand what they truly feel for each other. But how does one deal with feelings that could destroy everything that has mattered to them so far? How can they find their way when the love that draws them together is simultaneously seen as the greatest crime? ----- Excerpt: "Are you sure we're ready for this, I mean, that between us, you and me?" she asked softly as my gaze swept over the shimmering surface of the river. "What if someone finds out?" I gently placed my hand on her arm. "Sometimes you have to take a risk to find out what really matters," I said, my voice a whisper in the evening breeze. "I know it's complicated, but I can't ignore these feelings any longer. I want you to know how I feel-not just as a friend, but as something more." I felt my heart race. I could barely grasp the pain and joy in Hazel's eyes. The moment was so intense it felt as if it could stop time. ----- Trigger Warnings: Forbidden Love Family Conflicts Emotional Strain Loss of a Loved One Suicide Societal Pressure and Stigmatization Homophobia ----- English isn't my first language, therefore, there may be some spelling and grammatical mistakes
