Her life takes an unexpected turn when she literally bumps into a guy on a chilly night. He's a bit gruff, a bit cold, but there's a kindness in his eyes she can't ignore. He's got his own demons, too

He's dedicated his life to saving kids from the dark world of sex trafficking. They find solace in each other, and in the simple ritual of sharing milkshakes, they find hope.

 It's a story of pain and healing, of love blooming in the most unexpected places, and of the power of resilience in the face of trauma.All Rights Reserved

Breaking Though Shadows by cheesemaster2010

Breaking Through Shadows An emotional slow-burn romance about healing, courage, and the power of connection. Sophie has spent her life living in the shadows of abuse, hiding scars no one else can see. Trapped in a cycle of fear and silence, she dreams of a way out but doesn't know where to start. When she crosses paths with Liam - the school's brooding bad boy with a reputation no one dares challenge - her carefully guarded world begins to unravel. Liam sees more beneath Sophie's quiet exterior than anyone else ever has. As their paths intersect in unexpected ways, a fragile friendship forms, built on unspoken truths and the hope that they can save each other. But trust is a fragile thing, and breaking free from the past takes more than courage - it takes someone willing to stand beside you through the darkest moments. Slowly, painfully, Sophie and Liam discover that sometimes the hardest battles lead to the brightest light. Breaking Through Shadows is a story of resilience, redemption, and a love that breaks through even the deepest darkness.

We Dream at Midnight (Ember 2) by immoralLaurel

Here she is. I can see the slope of her spine through that thin shirt. She's made of angles I ache to smooth with a hand, but I'd use my lips if she asked. I brush her knuckles with mine. Her skin is cold, but she flips her palm for more contact. I lace our fingers. It's enough to make her look at me. As those kaleidoscopic eyes meet mine, I hold my breath. Then she sets her lips just under my jaw. It rips the air from my lungs. It's the softest thing I've ever felt. "What was that for," I breathe. She pulls back, lashes damp, and whispers, "You're the kind of person that should be kissed." 𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 BOOK TWO C O N T A I N S : ❤︎ mature content ❤︎ romance & friendship ❤︎ yearning Copyright © 2021-present Laurel Montaze (immoralLaurel).

Strangers To The City, Closer In The Dark by Real_ShadowHedgehog

She wakes up to cold lights, unfamiliar voices, and a world that doesn't feel like her own. Trapped inside a government facility with no idea how she got there, everything she once knew is gone-erased, locked away, or rewritten, her memories-completely wiped. But the biggest surprise isn't where she is... it's who helps her escape. Shadow the Hedgehog. Silent, sharp-edged, and the last person she ever expected to trust-let alone rely on. Together, they break free, diving headfirst into a massive, chaotic city that neither of them recognize. Hunted, lost, and forced to stick together, they navigate unfamiliar streets, trying to piece together what's happened and what's coming for them next. They don't like each other. Not at first. She sees him as cold and closed off, and he sees her as reckless and stubborn. But as the days stretch on and the danger closes in, something begins to shift. Tension turns to understanding. Silence turns to something heavier. Something real. In a city full of strangers, with no map and no home, they only have each other-and that might be enough.

Green-eyed Shadow Looks at the King by Audranasa

In the ruins of a fractured world, defiance is a death sentence. Excelling in the fine arts of covert observation, she collects secrets and trades in betrayals. This data broker doesn't believe in fairness or morality. After all, that's the only way to survive - and thrive - in a limited human space, constantly besieged by strange fauna. She's spent a lifetime running from the powers that be and slipping through the cracks. However, a fateful misstep pulls this furtive shadow into the sights of a man set to inherit the hopeless war. His ascent to the throne is paved with the bodies of those who stood against him - and those who didn't. This capricious warlord intends to cut the trespasser's insolence out with a blade. Slowly and carefully - because death would be far too kind. He wants her taught a lesson. Disfigured. Broken. Owned. Yet she vanishes into the overcrowded streets. A hounded prey becomes an umbrage with a vendetta and wages a one-woman war on his reputation. From the darkness, she turns the rising officer's name and affairs into rot. She never lets him forget she's still out there. Watching. The nobleman handles it all without faltering. However, the manhunt gradually twists into a slow, burning obsession. The woman's daring, her rage fascinate him. Consume him. All grudging sentiments warp into respect... and something stronger. When enemies close in on all sides, he calls upon his shadow with an alluring promise of truce. Trust is a knife. And he hands it to her - willingly.

And what brings them together may be older than both fate and failure. This isn't a love story. It's the story of what happens after the end. ⚠ This novel is based on fictional characters. ⚠
