Betrayal built walls around Della's heart. Now, a chaotic café encounter threatens to knock them down.
After losing her fiancé and her best friend to each other, Della turns to complete emotional avoidance: work is her shield, solitude her safety. But a chance meeting with a few vibrant personalities pulls her into a whirlwind of genuine connection - particularly with someone whose presence unnerves her in the best possible way.
Drawn into this warm, messy circle, Della faces a choice: confront whether she's ready to risk vulnerability again or continue living safely on the periphery of life.

Little Light (GxG)
In a world that moves too fast, she's learning to breathe slowly. To feel again. To let someone touch the parts of her she thought were long gone. There are no crowns here. No thrones. Just the quiet war of learning how to be held without flinching. She doesn't beg for safety. She creates it in silence. And when she kneels, it's not for weakness- it's because she trusts. But trust has a pulse. And it just might be hers. A story of shadows softened by light, of control given, not taken. Of healing whispered through touch, and love written in silence. This isn't where the pain begins. It's where it learns to rest. ⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ : EMOTIONAL INTIMACY SUBSPACE SLOW-BURN HEALING TRIGGERING THEMES (VULNERABILITY, TRUST, PAST TRAUMA) 🔴 Tops: 🔴 1.

Touched by Ruin
*MAJOR TW* There are scenes of death, blood, gore, attempted rape, sexual scenes, betrayals, zombies, etc! Dani has lost everything-her family, her friends, her future. Even before the collapse, her world was already crumbling when she discovered her husband's betrayal. Now, alone in the ruins of civilization, trust is a luxury she can't afford. Survival is all that matters... until she's ambushed and nearly destroyed by the cruelty of others. That's when he finds her. A silent guardian with a bow and blades, the stranger saves her life-but not out of kindness. Hardened by loss and betrayal of his own, he keeps his distance, both emotionally and physically. The world has no place for softness, and certainly no place for love. But as the days stretch into weeks, and the silence between them begins to speak, Dani and her reluctant protector find something unexpected in the wreckage: hope. Scarred by the past, shaped by the fall, they must decide if trusting each other is a risk worth taking-and if love can rise from the ashes of a broken world.
Breaking
The edited version of this story is now available on Kindle . But this is the Raw version and you are welcome to it. Jenna Bradshaw's life looks perfect from the outside-a comfortable home, a successful husband, and two grown children. But beneath the surface, her world is crumbling. Over decades of quiet sacrifices, Jenna has lost herself, her voice drowned out by a loveless marriage, dismissive children, and the judgment of her husband's elitist family. She has become invisible in her own life, a shadow of the hopeful young artist she once was. When her best friend Sasha tragically dies in a car accident, leaving behind two foster children, Jenna is forced to confront the harsh truths of her existence. While taking on the care of Leah and Dylan, Jenna begins a journey of self-discovery and renewal, reigniting her passion for art and finding strength in her independence. However, her decision to walk away from her marriage is met with resistance from her husband, Troy, and their children, who fail to see the quiet pain she has endured for years. As Jenna builds a new life, she learns to confront her past, embrace her grief, and reclaim her identity. Along the way, she discovers that resilience lies in allowing herself to be vulnerable and in daring to demand the love and respect she deserves. Will Troy learn his lesson or is this goodbye forever?Lengkap

My commander. My tether to something strong in a world unraveling. I'm younger, weaker, haunted by what l've lost and yet when he looks at me, it feels like I've already been chosen.Lengkap

Love In The Shadow (18+ | Litmatch Lovestory)
Prologue - When Hearts Break Betrayal doesn't scream. It whispers. It seeps in like poison, invisible at first, until one day you wake up and realize you've been dying quietly inside. That was me. A wife. A mother. A woman discarded for someone else's smile on a glowing screen. He was supposed to be my forever. Instead, he became my wound. Eight months later, I'm still learning how to breathe without bleeding. Two children look at me with eyes too wise for their years. Han, seventeen, carrying silence like armor. Bella, six, asking me why Ami cries at night when the world is asleep. I tell her it's just allergies. She doesn't believe me. Some nights, I wonder if I still exist beyond the roles I'm forced to carry-mother, provider, survivor. Is there still a woman left inside me? Or did she die the night she saw the truth blinking on his phone? And then, in the middle of that loneliness, I met him. Not in the real world, but behind a username. Mr× A stranger with shadows darker than mine. A man broken by betrayal, scarred by addiction, living with an illness that became his shame. We should have never crossed paths. But broken souls recognize each other. And sometimes, even in the darkest places, love finds a way to whisper back. This isn't a fairy tale. This is a story of two wounded hearts, meeting in the rain of their ruins, daring to dream of sunlight again.
