CLOVE by llaacceess

"I've been a fool, Clover. Such a damn fool. I thought I could bury my feelings for you, pretend they didn't exist, but I was wrong. So damn wrong." He takes another deep breath, feeling the lump in his throat grow larger. "I've tried to deny it, to push it down and ignore it, but it just keeps coming back. Stronger and stronger until I can't ignore it anymore. I'm in love with you, Clover. So damn in love with you." His voice is thick with emotion, tears threatening to spill down his face. "I don't know how it happened, or when it happened, but it did. And I tried to fight it, I tried to convince myself that I didn't love you, but I was lying. To myself, and to you." He looks at her unconscious form, imagining her sparkling eyes and warm smile. "I miss you so much, Clover. I miss hearing your voice, seeing your face, feeling your touch. I miss fighting with you, making up with you, just being with you... I never realized how lonely I was before you came into my life. How empty and meaningless my days were. You brought light and color into my world, and I didn't even appreciate it. I took it for granted, and I'm so damn sorry for that." *********** Clover Whitlock navigates a world of secrets, shadows, and shattered dreams. Haunted by a turbulent past, she finds peace in the quiet corners of her local library, burying herself in books to escape the chaos of her reality. But when tragedy strikes, Clover's fragile world shatters, leaving her grasping for hope amidst the rubble of her life. Brennan Hart, heir of the city's elite and bearer of his own burdens. Haunted by demons from his past, he seeks redemption in the arms of a stranger, only to find himself drawn to the raven haired girl. As their worlds collide, Clover and Brennan are forced to confront their deepest fears and darkest secrets. But as they navigate the treacherous waters of love and betrayal, they must ask themselves: can they save each other, or will they only destroy themselves in the process?

Never & Forever by artiumwrites

She was a singer. He was a painter. Both were artists... Elle. That was the name the world knew her by. But that was not really her name, and no one knew who she really was, except for the fact that she was a well known singer and songwriter. At twenty, Michelle left the small town she knew, wanting more for herself and to explore more outside of the small town of Maven she grew up in. By twenty one, she was known as the new and upcoming R&B artist from her first self-released debut. Over the years she traveled from place to place for all her performances. By the time she was able to take a break from her overwhelming life as a musician, she realized that she was able to keep her past behind her. But, it was now four years since she left Maven, Virginia, and an unexpected text from her mother changed that all. She found out her sister was getting married and that she needed to be there. Going back to her hometown four years later she was sure to get an earful from her family for her abrupt disappearance. But, that wouldn't be all she'd have to explain... © ARTIUMWRITES

The Love We Left Behind by TheAmaraChronicles

"I could never get her out of my head, no matter how hard I tried. I could never move on with my life. I fought, and I fought, but it was pointless. She was ingrained in my mind and soul, and I despised her for it. Lexi Black was the bane of my existence, and I wasn't going to rest until I ruined hers." After a tragic accident tears them apart, Lexi and Carson become estranged. Having been best friends for almost all their lives doesn't seem to matter to Carson as he leaves her behind without looking back. Struggling with her new reality and unable to move on from the loss that shook her to her core, Lexi turns back to her small town. Caring for a sick mother and working a dead-end job seems to be all that life has in store for her, until he reappears. 7 years later, Carson is back in town, determined to ruin Lexi's life like she destroyed his. Secrets come to light, and confessions threaten to decimate whatever is left of their relationship when Lexi decides that there is no going back. Some mistakes can not be fixed, and hearts can not be unbroken. *A small town, friends to enemies to lovers love story that paints grief through love in a whole different light.*

He's stuck to deal with his consequences. A week after his return home, Ryder heads to Jack Taylor's ranch to get his old farm hand job back.
