Ava Brooks is a 23-year-old personal trainer who has devoted her life to boost the confidence and self-esteem of other women. The start of her teenage years was traumatic and she spent many years going to therapy to deal with what happened but also to forget her main bully and first crush.

Leon Myers turned his life around after learning the girl he bullied for two years in an extreme effort to hide his love for her attempted to end her life. Now, he is a therapist working with children and young adults in an effort to somewhat atone for what he did. Unable to cope with seeing her face, he learned to forget about it, burying the image and her name deep in the pits of his subconsciousness.

Having not seen each other in 9 years, they don't remember one another, and things turn steamy. But, how will things play out once they discover who they are to one another? Will it be happily ever after?

Brave Enough To Love Again  by CalliopeBlythe
80 parts Complete
I stood with my back to her, shielding her, and my murderous eyes stared down at the poor excuse of a man, promising unimaginable pain if he dared to move or even flinch. The enormity of control it took me to suppress the impulse to eradicate the piece of scum, who dared to even think about laying a hand on a woman, was inconceivable. My whole body was trembling with rage. The guy was intimidated by the fury in my eyes and stumbled back to his intoxicated friends who were too dazed to understand the situation. I was disappointed and relieved at the same time that the chaos didn't end in a fist fight. When I turned around to console her, she was gone. And as I looked around, I saw her back just leaving the bar through the entrance. I hurried out to follow her. She walked ahead of me aimlessly and disoriented like a wounded animal that had just escaped the claws of death. My heart ached for her. I found a kindred soul in her. She evidently had been wounded in the past. Just like me. But in an even worse way than I had been hurt, and it angered me, that someone had dared to harm her. *** Eden Marie Simmons is still recovering after escaping an abusive relationship when she meets Keane, the broody and enigmatic neighbor who is shrouded in mystery. Both are still being haunted by their past and are not ready for a new commitment, but when fate repeatedly puts them in each other's paths, they can't deny their attraction for each other. Life challenges them both with secrets, lies, and broken trusts, and confronts them with their pasts. They both must learn to be brave enough to love again. *** Story is previously called "Paradise Lies"

Ava Brooks has faced unimaginable pain in the wake of her mother's death, and the only solace she finds is in her books. Having missed a year of school due to family circumstances, she returns for her senior year at 18, just days before her 19th birthday. She's a quiet girl, lost in the shadows of a strict and emotionally abusive home with her father, who harbors a dark and sinister rage. Ava has no friends and is regularly tormented by her peers. But everything begins to change when a new teacher, Valentina Sullivan, arrives at the school. Valentina Sullivan, a strict and no-nonsense educator, quickly establishes her presence in the classroom. Known for her confidence, she is the opposite of Ava in nearly every way. Yet, something unspoken lingers between them, a bond that neither fully understands at first. As Valentina becomes more involved in Ava's life, offering her support and encouragement, the walls between teacher and student begin to crumble. But the road ahead is complicated. Ava's father's violent behavior escalates, and the weight of her hidden trauma pulls her deeper into a spiral. Valentina's presence offers Ava an unexpected source of strength, and soon, their relationship shifts in ways neither of them can ignore. The lines between what is acceptable and forbidden blur, and what started as a quiet support soon grows into something far more intimate and dangerous. Through trials of love, loss, and redemption, Ava and Valentina must face their own demons, their desires, and the truth of their connection. What starts as a forbidden relationship builds into a passionate bond that defies all the rules, forcing them both to confront their darkest fears-and their deepest desires.

54 parts Ongoing Mature
Zoe Adam was a master at pretending. At eighteen, she'd perfected the art of silence, smiling when expected, nodding at the right moments, keeping her secrets tucked away in her heart. It was safer that way. With three siblings, a chaotic dysfunctional Latin household, and parents who wore kindness like a mask, Zoe learned early that love could sting just as easily as it could soothe. Her mother could call her mi vida in one breath, then leave bruises seen and unseen in the next. Her father? He floated in and out, too wrapped in his own storms to notice the ones he left behind. None knew anything. her sisters who witnessed everything but didn't say anything, had their own shields. Not her brother, who tried to be the hero but never saw what needed saving. Zoe kept everything locked inside her feelings, her loneliness, her hunger, her ache, her need until even she forgot what it felt like to be full. Then came Hayden Reid. Nineteen, half-Italian and Puerto Rican, . He moved to London that summer, taking the flat right next door. To most, he was just the new guy with the sharp jaw, quiet hazel eyes, and that permanent don't-get-too-close look. But to Zoe, he was more than that. He was her brother's best friend. The boy who used to tease her when they were kids visiting Italy. The one who disappeared after his parents split and reappeared years later with more muscle, and a haunted look she couldn't stop staring at. Hayden had his own shadows. His past was littered with broken things promises, people, places he no longer called home. Coming back to London was supposed to be a reset, not a reunion. But fate had other plans for him. Now, he lives just a few steps from Zoe's window. Too close to ignore, too far to touch. And despite the years, the distance, and the damage they see each other in a way no one else does. Two hearts with locked doors. Two people who never meant to collide again.

"I... Am here to see you.", I told him as I placed my hands around his neck. I could feel my heart beat getting faster but I had to keep it strong if I had to survive this scenario. "What?", Brandon asked completely startled. I leaned in more closer to him. The only good thing in this entire scene was that he wasn't pushing me back due to my creepy behaviour. "Oh... Bran, I was missing you so much, I just... I needed to see you.", I said as I came up with lie. "Are you drunk?", Brandon asked as he leaned in closer trying to smell my mouth. Thank God Fel had given me her mint gum only moments before I went commando and came inside the locker room. "What?", I scoffed still standing extremely close to Brandon. "I just.... I was missing your gorgeous face.", I told another lie. But wait? His face is gorgeous so that isn't a lie. And was I not missing seeing him? I noticed Brandon who just had his eyes popped out of his socket with bewilderment at my words. I decided to peck him on the cheek before I storm out of the locker room. I leaned ahead to peck Brandon who moved his face in my direction and instead of his cheeks, our lips crashed. Brushing against each other, our lips touched.

He Doesn't Remember Me

18-year-old Ashley Whittemore returns to her hometown from New York after her father's death. She didn't want to but she had to - because the person who broke her heart two years ago lives in this town too... So it was decided that she will just keep her head down for most of the senior year in disguise. I hope life can be that easy. *releasing an exhausted sigh* Instead, it just smacks you over the head whenever you try to do something. Am I wrong? On the first day of school she bumped into a person she was supposed to avoid for the rest of the year. *Ah. She's so good at hiding.* Zachary Hart. A heartless monster, devil incarnation, bully - hot as a heater, sexy as a satan and his body is as lickable as a vanilla ice cream. All in all - drool-worthy. The bottom lip rolls between the teeth and a little gawking with a lust-filled gaze before snapping out of the trance. No, no, no, no, No! See even in the blurb she doesn't know what to do. Still, there is another issue. Zack doesn't remember her. *dramatic gasps from all around the theatre.* Hiihhiiihhii. This will be interesting. ****** Highest Rankings adult romance; 2 teens; 182 hilarious; 25 Romantic; 691 Friends; 844 Wattpad; 624 WARNING: This story will contain mature content and strong language.
