Fate Interrupted by LNRoberts1

🥇 Wattpad Amby Award Winner - Top Pick in Romance 2023 🥇 After eleven years of no contact, fate thrusts ex-lovers Ren and Gio back together. Their chemistry is immediate, but she thinks she's broken beyond repair, and he thinks he's a train wreck unfit for relationships. Though these high school sweethearts still harbor deep feelings for each other, in order to fully heal their relationship and themselves, they must first reveal their deepest secrets. ♥︎ DualPOV. Ren: I have to admit it... I never got over Giovanni. I thought I had moved on, even married another man. But just when I had my life all neatly put together, it all broke apart. Now I'm nearly thirty, freshly single, and living back home with my mom in California, where the hot and heavy teenage memories of Gio still taunt me. Then, as if by fate, after eleven years of no contact, he walks back into my life, his gaze licking up my body like fire, and Zap! All it takes is one look to feel the intense connection surging between us again... and I know he feels it, too. Damn, Gio was hot at seventeen, but now he's the souped-up, modified version. What will it take to get him back? And if I do, would he accept me and the way in which I'm broken? Gio: Fuck, I'd give anything to get back together with Ren, but every time my heart leaps forward, I immediately take two steps back. She knows me well enough to sense I'm keeping something hidden behind my enigmatic eyes, but she wouldn't want the man I am now. I'm so afraid that the way I am could be our final deal breaker.

ORIGIN (#3, Gods Among Us) by MGHicks_reloaded

When Loki's consort and soulmate marries his rival to save their son from a curse, a prophecy leads to consequences even the God of Chaos couldn't predict. *** The Unseelie Goddess of War's revenge against Asgard's Dark Prince puts him in a no-win scenario with a choice between losing his soulmate or his son. Bad enough that damn Atlantean prince saved Shannon when Loki couldn't, but now Elatha is saving Loki's son by stealing his mate. Neither outcome will leave Shannon and Loki's relationship unchanged. While some of Shannon's Unseelie relatives have no issue with killing her son, others aren't so blase about the curse. Yet it's the prophecy at Shannon's birth that's brought Elatha and Shannon together in this arranged marriage. When betrayal strikes, it may be the key to saving not just her son, but Loki's soul as well. The prophecy hints at a chance to right a mistake that has haunted him, but it will require more soul-searching than Loki is comfortable with. Wait until he finds out he'll have to get along with his rival Elatha to achieve their goals.

Go Against Destiny ✓ by _reichii

Neither of them had total confidence in destiny. Not even when they started to see the invisible red strings that bound people to their soul mates. Not especially when they learned who the other person was at the end of their own thread. University educators, Sky De Vera and JP Nieves, were connected soul mates, but they refused to be controlled by fate. In a battle between chance and choice, would this pair be able to break away from their red string? Or would they fall into destiny's trap that they were desperately trying to avoid? A standalone spin-off of Their Parallel Universe, set six years back. Mature contents: - depiction of child neglect and psychological child abuse in a few flashbacks. - a bit of suggestive scenes and risque language on the last chapter. No smut and nothing sexually explicit. * Other than those, the whole story is pretty lighthearted. 2024 AMBY AWARDS Top Pick for Romance Novellas 7x Featured: @SpeculativeFiction (December 2023) @Romance (January 2024) @StoriesUndiscovered (March 2024) @NARomance (April 2024) @APIFantasy (June 2024) @mythandlegend (June 2024) @Fantasy (June 2024)
