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

"When I tell you that he hates me, you'll probably assume it's because he's a jerk...but you'd be wrong. He's not a jerk. I am." --- Several years ago tragedy struck Emma's home, leaving her broken... like a cup with cracks spiraling and slithering around the edges. Slowly, bitterness crept in like tar, hardening between each fracture to resemble a deceitful wholeness. She became a monster, and targeted her venom on the sweetest person she could find: Trinity Nixon. Too bad the boy Emma longed for was Trinity's brother. Now, as Emma fights to win the heart of the boy who despises her, she's forced to hide her demons. She paints her fragile cup in pinks, yellows, and oranges - all the colors of the sun. She paints on a smile, and an unusual sense of humor, so that the world will view her as bright and cheerful, when in reality she's breaking. But she's completely unprepared for the acidic truth that melts away the tar, demolishing her shell, and awakening the Emma White buried deep inside. --- Book 1 in The Dismantled Pride series *Story was previously titled "Faking It"

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. --
