Guardian (Sequel to Fearless) by squigmo

One year. It had been one year since Iris Gwenneth became the first heroine of Eldia --one year since her life took a dramatic turn for the better. And in this one year, she'd found meaning in the days that had once had none. Iris had a new job, one she adored. She was Rogue Captain Gwenneth of the Eldian army. She had a new betrothed, one she also adored. Everything was wonderful... until it wasn't. In a tale of friendship, adventure, and action, Iris will find that there might be more to life than being a simple captain --a war soldier of the front lines. She will figure out that her life, her desires, and her heart are not so set in stone. She will find that the world around her harbors far more secrets than she ever believed possible. In a tale of realization and self-growth, Iris will realize that she never truly was a hard-hearted soldier as the stories claimed. No. Her calling was to fight for the ones she loved. In this new chapter of her life, Iris will discover what it means not to become some steely-eyed, merciless commander... ...but to become a guardian.

More Than Words by AuroraDahliia

She's guarded, hesitant to trust, and still healing from the scars of her past. He's patient, understanding, and determined to show her what love truly feels like. When an unexpected encounter brings them together, their connection is instant but unspoken-a slow burn of laughter, shared meals, and stolen glances. He respects her boundaries and waits for her heart to open, all while teaching her to believe in love again. But as walls crumble and emotions deepen, they both realize this isn't just a fleeting romance. It's something real, something worth fighting for. In a world where love feels uncertain, can two broken souls find wholeness in each other? A heartwarming, slow-burn romance that proves sometimes, love is in the little things.

You Are Mine by AyiraWrites21

I was enduring a feeling which I determined to never let happen, I was feeling suffocated in the web of something unexplainable, I was getting lost for the beauty of heart not knowing how to take care of it. I was longing for something too fragile, gentle, delicate knowing that it can get broken by being with me. "He was my safe place without me realizing it... he was my savior even before i met him, he was the person i dreamt about without recognizing it, he was the love in a heart where there was no hope of any emotion, he became my only family making me remember the love i lost with my parents." I wanted to keep her in my world, hoping our combined colors would blend into a beautiful sky filled with stars, a moon, and endless happy moments shared between us. She felt like my destination, a place where my mind could finally be at peace, free of thought. In a world where I felt defined by my parents' expectations, she felt like my own reality.

Fearless (A Mulan Retelling) by squigmo

BROKEN COURAGE (Broken Redemption Book 3) by ArianaClarkAuthor

While tortured and held captive as a prisoner of war, she became my reason to keep breathing. The force that fueled my will to fight. To survive. When I woke after the rescue to discover the life I thought I was coming home to was but a figment of my imagination, hallucinations brought about by pain, desperation, and isolation... it nearly broke me. Fifteen years since I first lost her, at last, we have a second chance. Holding her in my arms, finally feeling the warmth of her skin as she melts under my touch, is like a dream. She and her two little girls are now as essential to my existence as the air I breathe. However, just as things start falling into place, the universe steps in, threatening to take it all away. I used to think that choosing her cost me everything I'd ever loved, but now I see that in choosing her and her children, I have the chance to reclaim all that I lost. They are my salvation. My true path to redemption. Which is why I'll leave no stone unturned, why I will scorch this world to the ground if that's what it takes to save them. And when I do, I will fight to convince her once and for all they are meant to be mine, just as I was destined to be theirs.

What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet.
