Delaney James seemed to have it all-a Manhattan townhouse, a thriving career as a fashion journalist, and a handsome, high-powered husband, but when he announces he's leaving her, Delaney's picture-perfect life unravels. Heartbroken and in need of a fresh start, she packs her bags and returns to her small hometown in North Carolina, telling herself it's just temporary - a place to regroup and figure out her next move.

She had left this town years ago to chase bigger dreams, but home hasn't forgotten her. The familiar faces and slow pace of life begin to pull at her in unexpected ways. She reconnects with old friends, enjoys quiet coffee dates, and takes walks through the neighborhood where she grew up, rediscovering parts of herself that had been buried beneath years of ambition.

And then there's Greyson McKinnie-the one who broke her heart. No longer the carefree boy she remembers, Greyson is now a man carrying his own regrets. Their encounters are charged with unresolved tension, and Delaney quickly realizes her feelings for him are not as distant as she'd hoped.

Caught between the life she built in New York and the comfort of home, Delaney must confront old wounds, rekindle lost dreams, and decide whether risking everything for a second chance at love will lead her to the happiness she truly desires.

Where the Stars Fall by AnaSimons

How far would you go to protect the ones you love? A successful architect with a promising career in London, Brian's world spins out of control when the man he always saw as a second father betrays him in the most unexpected way. Left without closure, a year has passed and Brian is now more determined than ever to undo the harm done to the ones he loves most, his family. Even if that means riding the thin line between justice, revenge, and obsession... Immersed in his resolve, finding love again was the last thing on his mind. Until fate steps in and a chance encounter changes everything. Meeting Olivia again so unexpectedly, at his best friend's wedding, stirs up memories he had long ago put away. She'd been his first love, his kindred spirit - and the woman who left him without saying so much as a goodbye. Which doesn't make him want her less. He knows it, the moment she locks her deep green eyes on his. Even knowing it might be too late to repair what's been once broken, Brian refuses to lose her again and sets out to find a way back to her heart. But it's been more than ten years since their story was left unfinished. Will they get one last chance to make things right? Or will Brian learn that sometimes justice comes at too high a price? *** NOTE TO READERS: A full-length, standalone contemporary romance, Where the Stars Fall was previously published on Wattpad as Falling Home. This edition has been fully revised with added and edited content.

Guilty Love by NightTime_Storiexs

Four years. Four years ago, he left her. And now he's back, showing up at her bookstore, asking for a second chance. Oh, and for his book to be sold. Runville is a small town in North Carolina. A small town where smiles are made and hearts break. A small town where London and Ronan were each other's whole world. From growing up hating each other to falling in love only to break their hearts and wound up hating each other. It came down to career against family, love against self-love, and choosing who you love against yourself. And Ronan chose himself. And London chose her family. And it tore them apart. Now, four years later, he's done with college, made a name for himself, and is back in Runville. History always repeats itself. What goes around comes around. And where you start is where you end. Can Ronan win her back? They were pieces that fit perfectly together. Only they didn't belong to the same puzzle. . . . ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

SECOND CHANCES (ORIGINAL WORK) by Hope_Swaluk

[COMPLETED] When Angeline married Nathan Snyder, it was supposed to give her the perfect life. Her dream was shattered the first time her husband laid a hand on her, showing her that the life she'd married into was going to be anything but perfect. Now a twenty-five-year-old pastry chef, Angeline reaches a breaking point with Nathan's abuse when he does the unthinkable: he threatens her life. Angeline knows that this path only leads one of two ways: either she lives with Nathan and his abuse, or she allows him to take her life from her. Instead, Angeline chooses a third option. She risks everything-and runs. Escaping to a small, rural Texas community, Angeline changes her name to Aaliyah and hopes to start a new life. Traumatized by her past, she never expects to find comfort in another man again-until Jason Moore, a twenty-nine-year-old, winemaker and part-time sales associate sweeps her off her feet with more kindness and compassion than she's ever experienced. Angeline knows that Nathan would search the ends of the earth to find her and make her pay for leaving him. But when Angeline can't stop herself from falling for Jason, she's forced to face a difficult choice: Can she escape her past and be with Jason, or is she risking his life by loving him?
