BOOK 1 OF THE BRUISED HEARTS SERIES "Help, I have done it again, I have been here many times before."- Breathe me by Sia Some loves hurt. Some loves scar. Aurora never imagined trusting anyone again-least of all Theo. He's infuriating. He's impossible. And yet, he sees the parts of her no one else does. Every fight, every stolen moment, every heartbeat threatens to break them both. But when the past won't let go, sometimes the only way to move forward... is to set yourself on fire. "I think you're going to have to ask me again," I murmured, tilting my chin up. "But like, really nicely this time." Theo blinked. "You're serious?" "Deadly." A second passed. Then another. I watched the way his tongue ran along the inside of his cheek, watched his hand flex like he was trying not to grab me too fast, too rough. And then, softer now-different-he said, "Rory." Just my name, but it held more weight than anything else. "Please, baby. Let me kiss you." his storm, her shelter.

HELD "The Weight She Carried. The Love He Kept." by KayeSantos233

Rain has always carried invisible scars-buried beneath long sleeves, quiet smiles, and dreams too fragile to say aloud. As a scholar in a prestigious company, she keeps her past locked away and her eyes on the future. Then she meets Liam. His laughter feels like safety. His eyes, like memory. What begins as a quiet connection becomes something warmer, deeper-something dangerously close to love. But Liam isn't just a man. He's the CEO of the very company that altered the course of her life. And when buried truths begin to surface-revealing a history neither of them expected-it becomes clear they were never strangers to begin with. Now, with secrets rising and judgment closing in, Rain must decide if her heart is strong enough to stay. And Liam must choose what he's willing to risk-for the only woman who's ever seen beyond his name. A story of survival, second chances, and the kind of love that heals in the quietest places-where scars once lived, and hope dares to grow.

Back To The Blue, Back To You by laurenbrazz

After four years of chasing an art career she can't quite catch, Isla Vance, 22, returns home to Willow Creek, defeated and jobless. Her last resort? A summer lifeguard position at the opulent Willow Creek Country Club, the very place she vowed never to return to. Not just because it represents the life she tried to escape, but because it means facing Jake Holloway. Jake, now 22 and the meticulous Assistant Pool Manager, never left Willow Creek or the club. He's built a quiet life for himself there, haunted by the memory of the fiercely independent girl who left him at 18 to chase her dreams. Her sudden return, bruised and uncertain, is a shock he's long braced for but never truly prepared for. As Isla dons her whistle and Jake barks orders, their forced proximity ignites old sparks and stirs long-buried resentments. She struggles with the feeling of having outgrown this life, only to find herself deeply entrenched in it once more, with Jake as her boss. He, meanwhile, grapples with his quiet longing for the girl who never looked back, even as he recognizes the talented artist he always encouraged. Through awkward staff meetings, late-night pool checks, and the nostalgic echo of their shared past, Isla and Jake must confront the college-sized chasm that drove them apart, and decide if the future they once dreamed of could still exist, even if it's right where they started.
