family friendship prison ptsd romance

Heavyweight champion, Thomas Levy wants nothing more than to forget his six years behind bars. The word 'rapist' had given him unforgettable scars. To him, the past should remain the past and should never be spoken of again. 
Andrea Walsh struggles with PTSD after a sexual assault. She worries that she would be termed ''broken" for the rest of her life and would never get the epic love she had always dreamt of.
Thomas was never the corny one.  So, why on earth would he tell Andrea that he would always be hers? 
It was completely impossible to not fall in love with Andrea. His interest was beyond the 24-year old's alluring looks; it was her energy, her aura, her personality. 
For Andrea, she may have found someone who understood her and would be patient with her. Thomas is everything she had ever wished for, but his reticence and taciturnity stands in between them. She wonders if she would ever be able to heal his past wounds or would ever get him to open up about it.
Would the past affect the epic love they both are destined to have? 
Yours, always is a novel that reminds one of the possibilities of second chances and the presence of strength in showing vulnerability. It revolves around the themes of love, friendships, racism, mental health and family relationships.All Rights Reserved

Monsters by AmouraLucinda

They're falling in love with their best friends, but past trauma and current taboos have a way of making everything more complicated. Will they be able to heal from their pasts? Or will they always see themselves as monsters? This story can be read as a standalone, but it is the sequel to both Light in the Darkness and Hashbrown and Crow. *There will be darker themes in this story and sexual content. The main characters all suffered abuse and neglect in some form, and they will reference it throughout the story in one way or another. People cope with trauma differently, and I hope that I respectfully represent that while still telling a story that is romantic fiction. --

Pretty Crazy by Geeky_and_Freaky

Amelia Marie Thompsons life went to shambles when her best friend left her ten years ago without a word. Left to live on her own, she built a comfortable life in solitude...or as comfortable as she wanted to believe it was. She struggled more than one person should deal with, but she's a fighter and not one to back down. Her twenty-seven years alive have been earned, and she will continue to fight every day for peace. But peace never comes easily. Damon Rossi never cared about anyone or anything until he met Amelia in their youth. He never thought he could care about someone outside of his family, nor did he ever allow himself to, but one fateful day brought them together. They were inseparable until another fateful day tore him away from her without a word for a decade. Now, fate has brought them back together again. When Amelia is hunted down by someone after Damon, she flees to her once best friend for aid and protection. There, she discovers the truth to everything. Why he left, why he came back, and why he's such a hard ass. It is now up to these two stubborn individuals to solve this scheme without budding heads, but when old feelings start to stir with the new ones, they begin to realize they won't be able to walk away from this easily. Danger lurks over them, but is their love more terrifying? That's pretty crazy... **TRIGGER WARNINGS** Contains brief mentions of parental abuse, alcoholism, stalking, suicide, and sexual assault. These are only sprinkled in throughout the book, and will not provide extreme details, but I will provide trigger warnings at the beginning of the chapter, as well as ** at the start and end of the triggering paragraph(s) to inform the reader of exactly when it is happening, for anyone who wants to skip for personal reasons. This book is a mafia book and will contain violence and murder during many chapters. Keep in mind that this is a fictional dark romance novel and is just a creative outlet.

The Wolf ✔ by whoscountinganyway

DIABOLIC SERIES 2 This story is not so simply about a girl who hides from loneliness in books and a boy who wants to show her there's more to life than what's between the pages. Having 'friends' isn't something that Eliza Wolf has really experienced, at least not in the way her peers have. There's passing relationships in school, people she finds funny, but actual friends? Maybe she just wasn't supposed to have them. She had to learn to pass her time with other things, books, talking to her brother, drawing. At least Elle wasn't so lonely when she was reading about someone else's life. Something that Asher Hart didn't think was all too healthy. The nice boy, true to his nature, was sweet and quiet in his reserve. Though he broke no rules- -that he'd get caught for anyway- -he was used as a scapegoat one too many times, and now his inability to stand up for himself, he's attracted the attention of the most intimidatingly attractive girl around. A boy Eliza knew she'd stand up for, even against the people that have terrorized her in the past. That's without knowing just how capable Asher is when it comes to defending others. *** "Did you know," Asher begins, frowning at the way Eliza picked at her shirt -something she often did before putting on her jacket. "If you could see yourself through my eyes, you'd never feel insecure again." Elle raises an eyebrow, "And who said I was insecure in the first place?"
