Nick has managed to rid himself of every bit of his past. The crimes, the betrayal, the fire, and the guilt that came with it all. He has a new life now; for years he's been the man he never dreamt he could ever manage to become. He's happy. 

For as long as she can remember, Olivia's only focus has been to take care of Kimi. That's why when her business, their only source of income, starts facing financial trouble, she decides to take a risk. She lands herself a meeting with a company she never dreamt of working with, but desperate times call for bigger risks. 

When she arrives at the meeting, she's shocked to find a  familiar face there. Someone she not only has a past with but stabbed in the back once upon a time when they were lovers. 

These two are forced back into their past when their paths cross after over a decade. Old feelings and words left unsaid can no longer be ignored as the two begin to work together. With everything that has already happened and how much they've both changed, it seems impossible they could ever go back to a time when they were happy together. Yet neither can deny what their heart feels when their eyes meet.All Rights Reserved

Where the Waves Whisper by Megsmcg07

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. A slow-burn, dual POV, second chance romance.

All seems to be going smoothly until meeting Tessa. In Tessa's eyes, Nicole is stealing everything that Tessa believes belongs to her. And she is in no way trying to hide her hostility towards Nicole. William, a green-eyed boy who has his life planned out for him, grew up in this town. He knows everyone and is popular amongst his friends. He makes an effort to spend every bit of his free time hanging out with his friends at the lake. When Nicole and William's eyes connect for the first time, neither one can look away. Is there such a thing as love at first sight? I want to think so. *** First Love, Forever Love is the first story that I had the pleasure of writing for a contest. Little did I know that this story would be the catalyst of my passion for writing. I loosely based this story on my husband's and my love story. While much of it is fiction, there are snippets of truth throughout. I hope you enjoy reading my story as much as I enjoyed writing it and revising it for Wattpad.

Darling by Julia_B_Ambrose

Bound by anonymous notes and a shared vulnerability, two teens, Elena and Nick, one recovering from a bad romance and the other hidden by shyness, unknowingly fall for each other, but their chance at happiness hinges on whether they can shed their pen names and embrace the messy reality of love. __________________________________________ Elena Ahlgrim, still reeling from the wreckage of a toxic relationship, was quietly trying to piece together her fractured sense of self when her melodies drifted into the ears of Nick Huang. Nick, a boy more comfortable behind the curtain of his mother's high school theater program than in the spotlight, was captivated by the unseen voice. Drawn to the music emanating from a theater dressing room, he stumbled upon a forgotten notebook and, on a whim, penned an encouraging message, signing it simply "from your admirer". When Elena nervously retrieved her notebook and found the enigmatic note, she responded in kind, crafting her own message as "mystery siren," unknowingly answering the unspoken question of Nick's heart. Through the pages of the notebook, a connection began to form, fueled by honest words and genuine emotions, yet cloaked in anonymity. As both Nick and Elena find themselves falling for the unseen writer, the question looms large: could these shy souls bridge the gap between pen and person, navigating their own insecurities and the shadows of past loves to find a real-life romance, or would the mystery remain, forever a beautiful song left unsung between them? __________________________________________ ---Book 2 of the Generations series--- ATTENTION! This series could be stand-alone books if you really want them to be ;) Written and Made by: Julia B. Ambrose
