'Home.'

He's searching the world trying to find the place in which he can call 'home'.
She's never left the safety of her little town. 
Together they must help each other learn to let go of the past and realise that maybe what they have both been searching for, has been right in front of them the whole time.

Once a vivacious adventurer and dreamer, Emma has settled into a safe routine of work and small-town living and she's happy about this, surrounding herself with what makes her comfortable. But when her brother and his friend come back into town, her little bubble is burst. After foolishly agreeing to join them on their annual snowboarding holiday in France, Emma is forced to leave her comfort zone and experience the life she always dreamed of having, full of excitement, friendship and adventure. Away from the confines of a 9 to 5 job and the clutches of an over-powering ex-boyfriend maybe, just maybe, Emma will realise that to simply exist is not to live.

Beneath the Surface by LoreJanssens605

Traumatized by her past, yet desperate to grow and have a beautiful future, she navigates through life. A positive mindset it may seem, but is that really the truth or just a facade for the world? She dreams of a bright future as a writer, perhaps a singer, and fate seems to smile when she meets Joseph-a young singer and actor whose career has just skyrocketed. They get along well, different souls connected by a shared past-a horror story that leads to the truth of their broken families finally surfacing. But will these revelations tear them apart, or bring them closer than ever? Will their paths diverge again, or will they intertwine?

Her Safe Haven by girlmoon21

"For him, she was adrenaline." . . . Winter McHalen seemed to have everything: parents who owned a multi-billion dollar company, two handsome brothers who just happened to get the loving-brothers genes, and a ridiculously beautiful look. One summer afternoon, however, a six-year-old Winter was kidnapped by her father's former rival and was traumatised into being mute. Ten years later, the current sixteen-year-old Winter still struggled to come to terms with her dark past. When she crossed path with the mysterious Rohan Garrison: heir to neighbouring international corporation, student council president, and a perfect gentleman who seemed to be harbouring much more secrets behind his stoic facade; the two kept finding themselves tumbling into each other's lives - with or without their own wills. He was aloof yet affable, she was bold yet reserved; he was neither a protector nor predator, she was neither a badass nor damsel-in-distress; but they were two qualities - both coexisting at the same time and were unpredictable variables in each other's lives. And they both didn't know whether to like or despise it. Watch Winter as she journeyed into adulthood and tried to get back the voice which she lost. With both existing as naturally opposing forces, could Rohan - with the help of her family, friends, and possibly other love interests - save Winter from her past, or will she be trapped forever in her affliction? {Highest: #1 in Young Adult #1 in General Fiction #5 in New Adult #226 in Teen Fiction 28/12/2019} *images used are not mine

✬ 𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝔻𝕒𝕣𝕜 ＆ 𝕃𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥 𝕊𝕖𝕣𝕚𝕖𝕤 ✬ There is a crucial moment in one's life that determines the outcome of everything; well, as books and movies would have you believe. But Monica McCaslin didn't think she would ever be one of those people, would ever have one of those moments. Brought up in a small suburb, with everything she could ever ask for, there wasn't much left for her to want. Monica's ordinary life was to go as such- follow her high school sweetheart to college, graduate, get married, have two kids; the cookie cutter life. White picket fence included. What she did not expect was to meet a dark-haired stranger sitting all alone on a park bench, at that very same school she was to attend with said future husband. After a brief conversation, just a handful of words between them, Monica decides to go on a cross-country road trip with him; putting her faith and future in the hands of a stranger. Thinking she'd soon regret her decision and the life she left behind, she realizes she doesn't at all. Free of expectation and a future that she thought was set in stone, she begins to find the woman she was truly meant to be. State by state, with each border they cross, Monica liberates her true self. 𝔹𝕠𝕠𝕜 ➃ 𝕠𝕗 ➃ - ℂ𝕠𝕞𝕡𝕝𝕖𝕥𝕖 - ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ This is a work of fiction.

Downhill From Here (#1) by SashaBastien

I clicked my feet on my board and stood tall, hands on my hips looking up at him. He was staring at me. Blinking and taking a step closer, he placed a hand on my waist, shocking me. Even through the thickness of my jacket, I felt the pressure of his hand. Looking at me dead in the eyes he said, "You're hips are angled a little off," Shifting my body slightly, he looked down at my feet. "And you've got to bend a bit more when you take off." He tapped at my knee and made me crouch slightly. I was listening but only partially because my heart beat seemed to be louder than his voice. "Got it?" He said catching my eye. "Mhhmm," I mumbled, trying to breathe slowly. *************************************** A girl, her snowboarding dreams, a 3 year long crush on her snowboarding guy best friend, an encounter with a famous snowboarding legend with a secret, an adorable small child, two best friends who'd kill for her, and the competition she's waited for her whole life.
