Origami Heart (Book 3 - DP series - COMPLETE) by kario12

(COMPLETE) After dropping out of college to join the military, Mike wasn't heard from again. Now, six years later, he's sauntering back into town with new hair, a new physique, and... a new personality? He's definitely not the man Lindsey remembers him to be. He's suffering from extensive post-traumatic stress disorder, which only triggers her need to protect him from the demons terrorizing his own mind. But as Mike's depression flares, Lindsey is forced to find comfort in an old friend as her own dirty secrets start slipping into the open. When anonymous love-letters start popping up just after Mike's arrival, a sliver of hope blooms to life. But as much as she'd like to believe that Mike's behind them, she can't bring herself to believe that the broken, hostile man she's come to know again could be capable of such fragile words. And as time passes and she grows closer to a certain 'best friend', Lindsey starts to doubt if Mike is really what's best for her. Is this wounded soldier softer than he appears or is there another man in town who's ready to cherish Lindsey's heart the way she deserves?

The Bright Room | 18+ by paleverse

A deconstruction of dark romance set within a psychological thriller, wrapped in an erotic horror story, inside an urban fantasy setting, infused with sci-fi elements, and sprinkled with plenty of nerdiness. I can't guarantee you'll like it, but you definitely haven't read anything like it before. Fair warning - the erotic horror elements are pretty hard. ------ Samantha is ambitious, determined, and strong - a habitual overachiever. But happy? Never. She returns to her hometown and her old best friend, hoping for a weekend of respite, perhaps even a fresh start. Instead, she finds herself thrown into mortal danger, left hovering one breath from death. But survival is only the beginning. Saved by a man whose intentions are anything but clear, Samantha undergoes a procedure far worse than dying, losing herself, layer by agonizing layer. She awakens in the Bright Room reborn - a mystery, both to her captor and herself. To reclaim her life, she must confront impossible questions. Is freedom worth becoming a monster? Can she exact vengeance on the one who saved her? And does she truly want to? For you if you love: Strong, complex women who never back down; moral ambiguity; intense psychological drama; power struggles; trauma explored deeply; twisted relationships that make typical love/hate dynamics look tame. Not for you if: You're young or easily triggered - this story doesn't look away when bad things happen. Note: the cover is temporary, working on a proper one (though similar). ----------- If you are reading this story on any other platform other than Wattpad you are very likely to be at risk of a malware attack.

𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐝 | 𝐬𝐚𝐦-𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐟𝐚𝐫𝐞 | 𝐣𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐩𝐡 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐧𝐧 by RenAintNoSaint

𝐀 𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐅𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐒𝐇𝐎𝐑𝐓 𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘 When a Navy SEAL mission in Iraq goes tragically wrong, Chief Sam Lawson is left shattered-his body broken, his future uncertain. Sent home with injuries no one expected him to survive, Sam is forced to face a new kind of war: recovery. At home, his wife Allie becomes the anchor to a life neither of them recognize. She's holding up a household, raising their daughter, and caring for the man she almost lost-physically, emotionally, and in every way that matters. Healing isn't neat. It's messy, brutal, and painfully slow. There are nightmares, hospital beds, slammed doors, and more than a few moments when love has to be louder than the fear. But there are also sidewalk chalk drawings, late-night kitchen dancing, and second chances whispered in the dark. This isn't a love story that ends with a goodbye kiss. It's one that begins when everything else falls apart-and they choose each other anyway. _______________________________________ This story is inspired by the real-life strength of Navy SEAL Joseph Hildebrand, whose journey shaped Sam's character in every way that counts. Allie and the children are based on people I've personally witnessed walking through fire and choosing love again. I do not own the rights to any characters from Warfare.

Shadows of the Mountain by SparklingHails

After surviving a harrowing night on Blackwood Mountain, Sam and Mike struggle to rebuild their lives, haunted by memories they can't escape. Broken by fear and bound by shared trauma, their paths intertwine in unexpected ways as they search for solace in a world that feels forever altered. But healing is never easy, and the shadows of the past have a way of creeping back into the present. As Sam battles her demons and Mike confronts the cracks in his own facade, the two find themselves drawn together - not by choice, but by the undeniable need to feel alive again. Through sleepless nights, quiet confessions, and fleeting moments of laughter, they learn that survival was only the beginning. Together, they must navigate the blurred line between holding on and letting go, uncovering truths about themselves - and each other - that they never expected to face. In this slow-burn tale of vulnerability, resilience, and rediscovery, the question isn't just whether they can escape their past - but whether they can find a future worth fighting for.
