The Red Rose - The Prequel by Magiewood

She was lying on the rocks with her hand in the air. I remember her telling me a story about a girl who met her lover in a cave behind a waterfall and how they would always meet there in secret... An illicit affair between a prince and a prostitute. Till this day, I hate how the story ended, with the prince marrying a beautiful princess and the prostitute killing herself, unable to bear the pain of the reality she knew would one day inevitably come.

Heartbreak Express by rayneaissance

She ran from her wedding the day she found out the groom was expecting a baby with someone else. Now, with a broken heart and no suitcase, she's starting over in London... Two men, one new life and a second chance she never saw coming. Isabella Solène Hart was supposed to be a bride. Instead, she became a woman who walked away from betrayal, from shame, from the version of love that left her undone. London offers her nothing but silence and strangers and that's exactly what she needs until it starts to offer more. A job at a luxury PR firm, a flat that slowly becomes a home, a local café with warm coffee and warmer smiles, a neighbour with a cat named Rufus and a shopkeeper named Robert, gruff, loyal, quietly becoming the father figure she never had. But nothing shakes her more than the two men who begin to orbit her new life. Skylar, the charming café owner with kind eyes, he makes her laugh again, makes her feel again, but when it matters most... he stays silent. And Sebastian, the enigmatic CEO with ice-blue eyes and power in every breath. He shouldn't be looking at her the way he does, he shouldn't know who she is, but he does and what begins as a spark quickly threatens to set fire to the walls she's still rebuilding. Now Bella must navigate more than just a second chance, she must decide what kind of love she's ready for and whether she can open her heart again without losing herself in the process. It's a story of loss, of starting over, and the two men who force her to face what love really means. Of heartbreak turned healing, of strangers turned family. It's not just about falling in love, it's about who you become when your world shatters... and you choose to rise anyway.

The Truth About That Summer by kjobrien

The Grean Household by uninstalledproxy402

"It was a mistake..." She told her mother, folding her hands into each other. "Marrying him..." Her mother said nothing, she simply sat there as her only daughter stood across from her, on the verge of collapsing from bruised ribs and cracked shins. "Mom." She wanted to reach out, softly tap her aging mother. Though that was the restriction of her life. The binding stereotype that she was gentle and slow to anger. In reality, what wanted to explode from her ribs was a scream of an animal, and the tears of repressed rage and fear. She wanted to throw her body onto the floor, but the thought made her damaged body ache more. There was no response from her mother. The deafening silence reminded her of her own quietness as her husband shouted at her, his fists bloody. He told her that she was only a tool for his amusement and a money-whore for her indigent family. She was nothing else but a tool for both parties. And she was starting to believe him. --------------------- Sarah Johnsen's life spirals from the normal gritty resilient fight to a serene wonderland. On the outside, she's married to a kind family with untold riches, but on the inside, her husband is the devil himself. Forcefully married at 18, Sarah was forced to kill her own dreams of becoming a doctor in order to bind her poor family to the rich bastards of Glendale by marrying their youngest; Oliver Grean. Their arrangement had the ability to brew the largest timespan of misery any of them has ever known. From lost toddlers to paid staged kidnappings, the binding of the two families, the Johnsen's and the Grean's created a mixture of chaos, confusion, sorrow, fear, grief, and dangerous rage. And there seems to be no haven to escape to. Or is there?

Raising the Villain's Daughter Book 1 by -AmeliaLynn-

Up until a sudden tragic death, Vivian lived a less-than-ideal life in our modern world. After her demise, she's transported inside the last book she read. The worst part about all of it is that not only is she just a side character, but she's also the daughter of the book's villain. Why is this a bad thing? Because the villain kills his very own daughter on her eighteenth birthday. Born into having prior knowledge of everything except for her previous life's name, she's stuck in an infant's body with an adult's mind. Vivian must figure out how to change her fate as the hourglass counts down to her death. Follow Vivan as she learns what it means to feel loss, betrayal, familial devotion, and maybe even have a chance at love. This novella is part of an intended duology. Book two will be posted as a whole once completed. Book one has romance elements, but book two is where the romance will primarily take place. Book one is intended to set up the worldbuilding and plot for book two. Trigger warnings: Mention of prostitution, death, torture, graphic violence, sexual assault

Alpha Nyx's Runt by _ixxiv

"I-I'm sorry for waking you up. Please forgive me Alpha." She basically threw herself to her knees and bared her neck: a sign of submission. I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair. I thought we had begun to move passed this, but I knew deep down it would take more than holding her to get through this. I walked over to her and pulled her up gently to her feet. I grasped her chin in my hand and lifted her head up to look me in the eyes. "Jasabelle, you are my Luna. You are not my maid, you are not my servant. I will never punish you...well in any way that will cause you harm." I chuckled but my wolf howled in sexual frustration, waiting for the misbehavior of our mate so he could make good on the promise. --------- Nyx has finally found his Luna. She's perfect to him. She's everything he could've dreamed she would be, but she's afraid of her own shadow. Jasabelle was petrified of everything. She knew nothing but cruelty and expected nothing less from anyone. Nyx has to help his mate overcome her dark fears and prepare her for the biggest challenge of her life; becoming a Luna. -------------- MATURE CONTENT WARNING.

My Mate's Betrayal by stanakatic1995

When you are at your lowest there is only one thing you can do and that is to rise. Our protagonist went through some tough sh*t and then like a phoenix she was born again from her ashes. Every time someone tries to take you down you must not feel degraded or keep wallowing in self pity. Be the champion you wish for to come and rescue you. This story is about one of those people who choose to become their "Knight in shining armour" rather than waiting for one to show up. A sneak peek of what's inside. Have a look. I am sure you will like it. "Romantic dates, public declaration of love, standing by her side when going gets tough. Girls were jealous of her for getting such a loving and attentive mate or so she thought. It wasn't jealousy that seared their bond but the hidden truth that she stumbled upon. Daughter of an alpha, a girl who wears her heart on her sleeve, sheltered from world by her herculean father, over protective twin and annoying younger brother. A girl that looks at world in good faith. Sooner than later her faith was shredded to pieces. It happened a week before her 18th birthday. It was a moon less night but her pack was awash with light and cheer. It was for marking ceremony, where she would be marked by her mate and then after a private family gathering they were to leave for secluded wood that were sacred in its own way. It was a way to welcome her mate into the family and getting to know what was in store for him after they complete their mating when she turned eighteen. All in all it was a big day and she was supposed to be happiest person alive as nothing seem better then bonding to someone for life that makes you happy and love you for who you are. But alas! it was an illusion, a beautiful mirage that ended that day." To know what happened next you have to tag along, i will only say one thing, HELL HATH NO FURY LIKE A WOMEN SCORNED. ~SK.
