I invite You to the world of Deb Storm and Kader Gökyüzü, two broken-hearted souls who had gone through life guarding their broken pieces, all the while hoping to find someone who would mend those pieces together. This story takes place in the beautiful land of Turkey. It begins and ends in the magnificent city of Istanbul...

What lays in the past of a person cannot be changed. It cannot be altered. It cannot be persuaded to disappear into nonexistence. Nor should it. The past is as much a part of a person as the future that is yet to be laid out ahead of them. It is in the days that live in the memory of a person that enable the person to decide who they are and who they still have a chance to become. 

Deb Storm was a perfect example of that...

Hesitant at first, Deb agrees to travel to Cappadoccia with one reluctant yet mysterious travel companion, who soon opens her heart to Turkey's culture, its history, and so much more. All because she chose to honor her lifelong dream to one day stand on the breathtaking isle of Maiden's Tower.

I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to Mary Bloyd, @MonicaRita1943 , without whom this story would not have reached its destined spot on paper.

And, to the lady that inspired each and every word of this tale, Çok seni seviyorum❤️.

A journey along time with two souls in love with each other beyond words... I would like to express my deepest and heartfelt gratitude to Mary Bloyd, the Resident Editor for Can Yaman International, without whom this tale would not have seen the light of day... Çok Teşekkür Ederim... In order to move forward with the story of what happened between the time Can and Sanem were married and the time their children enjoyed a wonderful day with their parents, please join me in taking a step back, to the time when Can's heart fell apart, and he realized that only through Sanem's love, and because of it, he was able to mend what was broken, heal from within, and heal enough to feel strong enough to return home to his Sanem... As time healed the wounds, they returned to one another to face a new adventure, a new life, and a new twist of fate none of them saw coming...

A Legendary Love-Can & Sanem by MaritzaSolanoLazar

Book 2 of 3 Sanem has one fear and that is to somehow lose Can again to a threat that is yet unarmed an unknown. She will do whatever necessary to protect him, even if it means to tear her heart in half. She will never betray him and when it would seem that his love for her had died on a mountain of suspicion she would bury the pain in her heart if that would save his life. To live without him in order to save him would mean she would have have to declare it in open court. It could an empire apart. Can will not allow another tragedy to befall Sanem. She has gone through hell and back and he will kill anyone who thinks they can take her from him. He will trust her even when his eyes deceive him. Even at his own peril. He will never let her go. To live without her would mean to die a slow death. The Empire and the people dependent on it will surely do without him but he could never do without her. Huma's reach beyond the grave was her final revenge. A house in chaos, a family destroyed and a secret long held. These finally contrive and come together in one person. He has lived his whole life for the moment he could claim wha belonged to him. Tragedy would have its day first but then their would be a reckoning and he would see to it that the one who had ordered it be done would watch as all that mattered to him slowly was taken away. He never anticipated her. She could ruin it all. Her combination of stubbornness, loyalty, faith and love could tear down his carefully constructed walls. Sacrificing her had never been the plan. He would have a life altering decision to make. Our Albatross and Phoenix have set their course and we will follow them as they live a Legendary Love. Inspired by my love for Erkenci Kus and it's main characters Sanem Aydin and Can Divit and the incredible actors that portrayed them Demet Ozdemir and Can Yaman.

When The Heart Lies | ✓ by Iamnikki1

#3 in General Fiction [17-08-2018] BOOK 2 OF THE HEARTS SERIES. THE FIRST BOOK IN THE SERIES IS RECOMMENDED AS IT WILL HELP YOU UNDERSTAND THE SECOND ONE BETTER. _______ "Time has brought me ahead and left you behind. There's so much distance to cover. So much that you'll never reach my heart again. You are gone." Shaking of his head shook her wall. His slow footsteps pounded in her heart. "I will claw your heart, tear it to get inside again," his breath fanned her cheek. Calm tone haunted her soul. "But it won't come to that when I am already there in your stubborn heart." Tears hung at those thick lashes. "My heart doesn't want you. Not anymore." "Your heart lies." His finger slid down her neck. A sinister smile made those tears fall, "And when the heart lies," the finger replaced by a strong fist held the back of her neck. His lips reached barely inches away from hers. "There are consequences." ______ AN INDIAN LOVE STORY

Scarred For Life by _najeeb_i

*Could you ever love a broken person?* "I understand that you're broken," he said as he lifted her chin so she stared directly into his eyes. "But I want you to understand that it is my job to restore the happiness you lost. I am your husband now, Afrah. And it is my responsibility to make you happy. So that is my mission from now until the end of time." Afrah stared down at her hands, feeling as though her soul was being wrenched from her body. She couldn't look him in the eye. Not after what she had gone through. Not when she still saw the devil in his eyes. * It is said that the most painful wounds leave the deepest scars. No one could attest to that more than Afrah Aminu. For eleven years she's kept a secret to herself, knowing that she might never be able to tell anyone. Not that she wanted to. But now, with the sudden arrival of a strange man in her life, she finds herself thrown into the terrifying situation of having to relive it all. As he tears down each and every wall she has set up around her heart, the memories of that haunting night come crashing in waves. Will she be able to survive it? Or will she be crushed underneath its weight?

She's DARK He's COLD by raniya_shah

Falling in love with an enemy knowingly is wrong. What if, it happens unknowingly? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ " W-what this? " I lost the ability to speak English properly. I understood what was that but I couldn't function. My heart didn't believe this. The marriage we had cannot be fake. It didn't feel fake. " Why? Can't you understand the clearly written words? " He said. Yes, he answered me. But why was he behaving this way? I moved towards him and stood in front of him. I just can't get what this means? Was this fake? Why? What did I do to deserve this? " I c-can't understand anything," I said slowly. I just wish this comes out to be a fake thing. All of this a joke. I helplessly looked towards him. He was quiet and looked emotionless. I felt scared of his behavior for the first time. This is not true. It can't be. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Briar Eliza Shah or Eliza Joseph is a 19 years old girl - she does have a lot of DARK secrets from the horrible past.

Here meet the one and only Cayden Donovan, he's not your only typical Greek god looking guy but also has an incredibly cold nature. He's not the one to stay back when he's scared, he fights and ends it ....ends his fears and the fear here is not any kind of failure but instead, it's the past and his search for the people in it, he is secretive and loves to keep it that way. But what will happen when he meets Briar? Cover by @chrmar04
