ONE BIG HAPPY FAMILY by PearlEghagha

When life's going gets tough, always remember the road that leads home. We all need someone to lean on. Family isn't always defined by blood, it's defined by loyalty, faithfulness and trust. Too many of us hasten off, wanting to be on our own because we have been betrayed. Too quickly we burn bridges, but what if we fixed em? What if we stayed? What if we made things right? You miss them don't you? Your Dad, your mum, uncle and aunt. Siblings, cousins; the name is yours to define. This book aims to give back what's lost, and help us become whole, united and unbreakable. To look beyond rage and fury, and see that humanity isn't perfect. Things are messed up but we can all have "One Big Happy Family."

He built his life on discipline. She survived on charm. Their secret affair was a collision of two different worlds. What began as a stolen glance quickly became an intoxicating addiction. He saw a wounded soul only he could understand. She saw a stable future only he could provide. But as their hidden relationship deepened, so did the lies. Was her vulnerability real, or a carefully crafted performance? Was his devotion true love, or just the thrill of playing the hero? Trapped between his family's growing suspicions and her desperate need for control, he slowly started to lose himself. This is not a fairy tale. It's the story of an ordinary man caught in an extraordinary web of manipulation, and the painful journey he must take to untangle his self-worth from her deception. The greatest battle isn't for her heart-it's for his own peace of mind. To discover whether he finds the strength to choose himself, follow his compelling journey to its powerful conclusion.

Life After Death by h1gh_3nough

"I hate everyone." "Except me, right?" "No, especially you." ⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻ It's funny, isn't it? That when the whole world decides to become infected with a brutal and fatal virus, the real monsters are the ones still alive? Blake Finnegan lost most of his life before the apocalypse anyway. So for him, it's no problem. But can a group of four just as tormented teenagers change his perspective? ⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻ "Genies grant three." "I'll take three." I shrug. "Two." He bargains. "Three." I say sterner. "One." He couldn't look any more relaxed. I almost take up his earlier offer on two. Almost. I'm still too stubborn. "Five." I cross my own arms, covered in dirt. "I-" He stutters, "You're going backwards."

The Weight of quiet things (Free sample) by Gracejenniferanne

Evelyn thought love was supposed to save her. At twenty-one, she's living in a cramped Adelaide rental with Jaxon-the boy who once made her feel chosen. He's passionate, intense, and when he's good, he's everything. But when he's not... he's cruel in quiet ways. With words that cut. With silences that scream. With promises that make her stay. Because love is supposed to hurt a little, isn't it? When Jaxon crosses a line she didn't know she had, Evelyn runs-with no plan, no bag, just a cracked phone and shaking hands. She ends up on her brother Jake's doorstep. Safe, but not whole. Then there's Kade. Jake's best friend. Her childhood tease turned quiet protector. He sees too much-asks too little. And something about the way he looks at her makes it hard to breathe. Living with them was meant to be temporary. But Jaxon still calls. Still says all the right things. And Evelyn can't stop loving him-not really. Not yet. As the past claws at her and something softer begins to bloom between whispered conversations and lingering glances, Evelyn is forced to choose: the man who once felt like gravity... or the one who makes her feel weightless.
