Thomas Miller hasn't had great luck with women. His first wife left him while pregnant with another man's babies, and his second was killed in a tragic car accident. Since then, afraid of having his heart broken, he has let himself be used as a professional husband in short marriages of convenience to women who need insurance and a place to stay for a bit. But now that he's older he wants to try for a real relationship again. Is it too late for love? He just needs to take on one more temporary marriage and then he's hanging up his rings until the real things comes along.

Avery Simmons is the sole survivor from a deadly crash that killed her parents and twin brother. Broken physically and in spirit, she marries Thomas as a last resort until she can get back on her feet again. 

Thomas and Avery don't have a regular relationship, they're married before they know much of anything about each other. But in marrying Avery, Thomas gets his whole flipped on its head when all is revealed. But is it for good or bad?

Not Without You by reannekennedy17

NOTE: I REVISED BEFORE YOU GO, SO THERE WILL BE SOME MISINFORMATION IN THIS ONE REGARDING LEON & ELIZA'S RELATIONSHIP. I WILL FIX IT SOON, THOUGH! * I would HIGHLY recommend reading BEFORE YOU GO and THE ONE YOU FIGHT FOR before you read this novel. This novel is a criss-cross between them and will include some major spoilers!* Leo Sangster has a bucket list tucked away safely, folded between the pages of his favourite book. And it's been there for nearly fifteen years. He hasn't tried to read it. He can't. He won't. Because that one piece of paper is a large piece of his father -- someone he's never met and never will be able to meet. But as Leo finds himself heading to Whistler, BC to explore where his father was born and who he was before he died in a car accident, he begins to wonder if that bucket list could give him any clues. Aria Madden is the daughter of the now-retired, famous NHL player, Luke Madden. Anyone would consider that a lot to live up to, but Aria is content with her current position. In January, she'll be competing in the Winter Olympics for Canada's women's hockey team. Over the summer, she's going to be training in Whistler, BC with the rest of the team, all while staying at her aunt's house. But even though it seems like she has everything under control, Aria is stuck in a whirlwind of anxiety. While she's happy and excited that her hard work has paid off, she's worried she won't live up to her father's legacy. When Leo and Aria cross paths on a fateful summer day, they're thrown into the chaos of an unforgettable summer adventure -- filled with charming and mysterious people, astounding views, and alpine air. But as the summer continues on and the heat is amped up, undeniable chemistry begins to brew between the two of them. But what happens when summer ends and they have to go their separate ways? Will they give up on the chemistry or will they find a way to make it work?

BEYOND by feufeu15

He'd gone beyond his player ways for her. She'd grown beyond her traumatic past for him. Together, their love was beyond. Until one fatal accident. __________ When she loses the love of her life in a car crash, Althea has nothing left in California. So mourning and broken, she follows Asher's last wish: moving to New York and realizing her dream of becoming a fashion designer. But what happens when three years later, she comes back home to get closure before getting promoted and married, and she finds her late boyfriend very much alive and paralyzed in a wheelchair? Asher would have never expected to see Althea again in his lifetime. He's given up on her, with his hope of walking again, long ago. And yet, here she is, the woman who has always had the power to shake his certainties, standing in front of him and bringing more than his heart out of numbness. With her, the half-man he's been for the past three years could be whole again and finally touch hope - If his pride doesn't stand in the way. - If she lets her guard down again because he isn't the only one who has been wounded in this accident, and the ring on her finger isn't the only thing that has changed about the colorful girl he's known. Can their love go beyond lies, disability, ghosts of the past, new engagements, and all the opposite forces tearing them apart? __________ Featured in Wattpad Romance Head Over Heels' reading list in November 2023.

Redeeming the Darkness by whitneymorgan91

Ivy took a leap of faith when she married Zane, a perfect stranger. What she wasn't expecting was to find love wrapped up in a complex package. ----------------------------------------------------------- Growing up, Ivy was always the "wild child." She craved adventure and always had a prank or two up her sleeve, but at twenty-one-years-old, she's getting bored. There isn't a lot that happens in Taylorsville, Ohio, and when Zane Landis comes to town, all of that changes. Adventure lands right at Ivy's feet in the form of a marriage proposal. A marriage of convenience with a rather large payout is just the kind of thing she isn't afraid to take a risk on, but Zane is a different story. He's broody, untrusting and rather possessive, but Ivy thinks she can handle anything. Could this adventure be what destroys her? Redemption Series; Book two (Can be read as a standalone but will give secrets from book one away) Book one: Finding Home in Redemption Book Three: Love's Rapture **New Cover!

Tomorrow's Blues by fadedxfires

~"You don't- you don't need me." I stared in shock. This was the first shred of emotion he'd shown since he started avoiding me, and I had no idea how to respond. What was I supposed to say to something like that? So I let myself be honest, and I told him exactly how I felt. "But I do." I almost choked on my words. "I do need you. I can't talk to anybody else. I can't eat. I can't sleep. And I know you know what that's like."~ Liliana is now an orphan. Just 17 years old, she lost her parents in a boating accident and now she must live with her best friend, her best friend's parents and her best friend's brother, Joseph. She struggles through her grief as well as dealing with the mysterious but obnoxious Joseph, and it soon comes to light that he isn't the only one around her keeping secrets. Living under the same roof, tensions arise, and Liliana begins to discover that a perfect family may not be so perfect after all." If you like a good old slowburn, enemies (ish) to lovers, bonding over tragic backstories type beat then this story is for you, I promise :) #1 in #bestfriendsbrother (didn't note the exact date - some time in January 2021) #1 in #dealing with death (11/04/21) amazing cover by @sixty6ix !!
