"Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you." Ephesians 4:32

In the rigid confines of Victorian society, Jane Kingsley feels like a puppet on a string, her every move dictated by the unforgiving expectations of her family and peers. Pressured to conform and burdened by the weight of duty, she struggles to find her own path in a world that seems determined to control her destiny.

Enter Jack Casbourn, a charming and compassionate gentleman who is captivated by Jane the moment he sets eyes on her. With his playful wit and unwavering kindness, Jack becomes a beacon of hope in Jane's otherwise stifling life. His presence ignites a spark within her, a longing for freedom and true love that she never dared to dream of.

As their connection deepens, Jane finds herself at a crossroads, torn between the oppressive demands of her family and the promise of a life filled with love and grace. When she faces the unimaginable prospect of being forced into a loveless marriage, Jack steps in, determined to save her from a fate she cannot bear.

Together, Jane and Jack embark on a transformative journey guided by faith and resilience. Through trials and triumphs, they learn the true meaning of love, patience, forgiveness, and grace, discovering that sometimes, the greatest blessings come from letting go and trusting in a higher plan.

"Gracious" is a heartfelt tale of romance and redemption, where two souls find each other against all odds and navigate the delicate balance between societal expectations and the call of their own hearts. In the end, they discover that true grace lies not in conforming to the world, but in embracing the divine love that guides their every step.

Trusting Grace by ilovefelix217

"I've been burned once, who is to say it will not happen again" I spoke quietly watching her closely. Grace confused me like no other she wormed her way into my heart with her easy-going smiles, kind nature, and gentle heart. Feeling her small hands hold my large ones I glance down into her green eyes "You need to trust that I am not Mia have I not proven to you Cassian, I am here to stay you fit with me" she said in a gentle yet firm tone. The smile she sent me held love, comfort and that was all it took after months of breaking down the walls I decided to take a leap of faith. *********************************************** Cassian Grey had been burned once and that was enough for him after sharing a business deal with his four other brothers they opened up The Grey Gull on the coast of Cornwall, England. A fresh start is what these guys needed and a fresh start is what they will get. Grace Bauer is an art historian with her own little gallery where she brings long-forgotten pieces of beauty back to life. She too had been burned so when she hears of this bar and grill opening up she knows her friends are just dying to try it out. What both of these souls don't realize is that once thrown in each other's paths they soon realize that maybe just maybe they are what the other half needs in one another. It may take a little more convincing on Cassian's part but can he take that leap of faith and trust Grace. All rights are reserved names of places mentioned in this book are all real places however the story line and names of the characters are all from my own ideas. Please do not copy my story under any given circumstances as I do not want to have to take legal action but I will if required. I come on here because I love writing and I love writing books that I myself would love to read and continue to read to find out the outcome. Updates every M, T, W, T, F, S :)

As their paths converge, the question on everyone's mind is: will they find solace in each other's embrace, or will their differences tear them apart? Can the female lead's unwavering compassion and empathy penetrate the male lead's armor of pride, and awaken the dormant goodness within him? Will their journey together be the catalyst for transformation, or will the male lead's dangerous and mysterious past prove too great a hurdle to overcome? As fate brings them closer, the air is electric with tension. Their love is put to the test, and the world holds its breath, wondering if their bond is strong enough to overcome the darkness that has defined the male lead's existence.

Being the fruit of a broken family, her life had always been miserable. The hopes she once held were dulled as days turned to years, her dreams clouded as she endured her meaningless life. Living in a so-called 'Christian Nation' didn't help, for all the more she doubted how a 'Loving God' could allow all these horrible events take place on His watch. Her heart grew cold, more hardened, till her very being became the manifestation of misery itself. Until He showed up, and everything turned upside down. The sudden change in tide caught her off-guard, things she never expected and dreamed of turning into a reality as she woke up each day. A story of a lost woman, and a story that proves that no one is too lost for God's Love. •••••••••••••••••••••••••• "But Johanna, you were like the devil's darling all your life. What the hell happened to you!?" "Jesus," I breathed, "Jesus happened to me."

Treasure's Journey by MarleyTurner83

Forgiveness is more than saying I forgive you! It's complete and total willingness to say no matter what you have done there is always redemption for you! It's saying I'll be here no matter what! It's saying you are worth so much more than you can even imagine! Forgiveness is saying I'm not gonna hold on to the hurt you've caused! When I forgive you I'm gaining access to the peace that comes thru the forgiveness! Did they deserve the forgiveness no, but then again wouldn't you want someone to forgive you if you made the mistake they made? Before you hold on to unforgiveness remember it could easily be you in need of forgiveness! Everyone makes mistakes! When you choose to forgive you are choosing freedom to move on! You are choosing peace not war! Love not hate! You are saying I'm worth so much more and my forgiving you I'm freeing me from the power you would have over me if I held on to the anger! This is something Treasure has always struggled with! Her history of domestic abuse and the struggle of learning to be a woman without a mother to guide her sent her into the arms of someone she never thought would ever want her. He had to learn to love himself before he could ever love another. Alex had grew up in a perfect household that hid a dark secret. He had dated many others but he just couldn't stay with them. He longed for someone who could show him love in a real way. He didn't want the love he saw between his parents. His parents were more worried about keeping their social circle than they ever were for happiness. Can these two overcome the obstacles ahead? This is a tale of two people who were never really loved learning to love each other no matter what may come. In their struggle of learning to love they face many obstacles that threaten to end the only love they have ever known."
