He's asking me to give our better a chance. If only he knew how much this better terrifies me. If only I could erase my past. But how far can one truly run from their past? Sooner or later, it catches up-and mine is right at my doorstep.

Nessa and Bryce have built two years of love and dreams together. When Bryce is offered the chance of a lifetime in Chicago, moving feels like the next step toward everything they've hoped for.

For Bryce, Chicago means success. New beginnings. A life finally falling into place.

For Nessa, Chicago means danger. A life she thought she'd escaped. And a secret she's never shared with anyone-not even her husband.

As her past closes in, Nessa faces an impossible choice: confess the truth and risk losing Bryce forever, or keep silent and watch her world crumble.

When better turns into something terrifying, how far will she go to protect the life she's built-and the man she loves?

Fate Interrupted : a Second Chance Romance by LNRoberts1

🥇 Wattpad Amby Award Winner - 2023 Top Pick in Romance.🥇 Lauren Baker thought she'd moved on. Big city, career, husband--all checked off and on display in perfectly curated photos online--but then it all fell apart. Now she's scrubbing off every box she ever ticked, back in her hometown, waiting for a divorce, sleeping in her teenage bedroom, and face-to-face with the one man she never got over. Gio Regali likes to keep himself controlled--flashy car, private offline life, measured emotions. Love? That's off-limits. Especially now, with a mental health diagnosis that makes getting close far too risky. But seeing Ren again throws his carefully balanced world into unexpected chaos. Their attraction is immediate and impossible to ignore--just like it was all those years ago--but Gio's convinced he's too damaged to be loved. And though Ren carries the quiet grief of infertility, she's impulsive and optimistically determined to tear down Gio's stubborn walls for a second chance at what they once had. To find their way back to each other (and maybe even themselves), they have to expose old wounds, new vulnerabilities, and desires neither anticipated, learning that some second chances don't just heal two hearts--they build the family you never thought you could have.

cover by @JaelynnMoore 𝐆𝐚𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐥 It's so much easier to spread lies about people than it is to spread the truth. That's what Gabriel knows to be true, at least. According to everyone in his town, he's a monster. He doesn't deserve to be walking among the rest of them. That's far from the truth, though. He was never good at being alone, but it became something he was used to. After everything he'd gone through, he craved solitude. Until she showed up. She wiggled her way right into his heart and now all he craved was her. 𝐀𝐥𝐲𝐧𝐚 Moving to a small lakeside town in Washington was not where Alyna saw her life taking her. She also didn't expect that she'd fall so hard for the brooding mechanic who lived there. Everyone tells her that she should stay away from him. All of the rumors say that he's dangerous, but all she ever feels with him is safe. With obstacles at every turn, will their love be enough to endure even the worst challenge they'll face? Or will they fall apart under the weight? started: 12/15/2023 published: 05/18/2024 completed: highest rankings: #2 bwwm #4 ongoing

The Royal Deal by RoshniSharma476

She hated the feeling of losing from a bunch of strangers who didn't consider her say in her own life. So, she turned the tables. What she didn't know was, he only agreed to a deal thinking she had a say. He didn't want a marriage yet agreed to one for the benefit and name of his family. He wasn't a man to mess with but she took her chance and he let her. And it might be her biggest mistake. Taking her chances with him. He got obsessed with everything about her. Her fragrance. Her voice. Her very presence. She came into his life with all the intentions to leave. Now the question is, would he really let her go? Would she want to stay?
