Vanished (ONC 2023) by Voyageavecmoi

Until recently, Mia's biggest challenge was attracting visitors to a province whose unsolved crime rate keeps climbing. After her Bear Claw Lake ice fishing tourism campaign gets axed because a body was discovered, an unusual stranger offers her unconventional help to catch a potential serial killer. Even with his help and that of her childhood friend from the affected community, the clues leave Mia with more questions than answers. But she must discover the truth to keep the province safe, get justice for the victims and save her job. Trigger warning: This story is related mature because there are brief mentions of the suicide of a family member having an effect on a supporting character as well as one scene that flashes back to child abuse in the form of neglect resulting in a near-death experience.

High School Sweethearts by Zelena_Blackarne

Brooke Callahan is a driven, ambitious journalist who fled her small town of Havenbrook a decade ago, leaving behind the love of her life, Ethan Hayes. Their once-perfect relationship was shattered by a scandal that neither has fully recovered from-until fate forces them to cross paths again. Brooke returns to Havenbrook to cover a high school reunion and is thrust back into Ethan's life when she's assigned to investigate an embezzlement scandal involving the local community and his family's business. As she digs deeper, Brooke is forced to confront her unresolved feelings for Ethan, the boy who once broke her heart. Ethan, now a brooding single father, is equally reluctant to revisit their past but agrees to help her when their investigation reveals unsettling truths that could destroy both their families. Old wounds are reopened, and sparks fly as they reluctantly work together, their love-hate chemistry undeniable. The more Brooke uncovers, the darker the secrets of Havenbrook become. What starts as a simple story of corporate corruption soon spirals into something much more personal. Brooke's own family is implicated in the scandal, and the lines between ally and enemy blur. As Brooke and Ethan get closer, they realize the past wasn't what they thought-it was a web of lies, betrayals, and sacrifices that neither could have anticipated. Ethan confesses he took the blame for a mistake she made in high school, giving up everything, including her, to protect her reputation. As the investigation intensifies, danger grows. Someone is desperate to keep the truth buried, and they'll do anything to stop Brooke from exposing it. As the stakes rise, Brooke and Ethan are forced to confront their painful history and make a choice: can they forgive the past and find a future together, or will the truth destroy them once again?

Ending by Mia_is_ok

A town with no history. A girl with no name. An end with no beginning. My oldest memory of this place was blurry. It faded in and out of my dreams and subconscious. The details edges had been rubbed smooth long ago, but the feeling of complete and absolute terror had remained as distinguishable as the day it happened. fifteen or so years back... That fear has always kept me grounded to the forest that isolated me from the rest of the world. It kept me safe from whatever I had to run away from. Tricking me into thinking what was best for my survival, was to stay hidden. But when dangers from the outside seep into the safe haven I had created, all sense of security shatters. Suddenly the safety net is gone, and other people exist again... Some that had definitely thought I was dead. (as of 2/25) Hello! I have been writing this book for like 6 years and some parts may be iffy. I still have to finish and revise the final draft, but it is very close to being done. The plot and story beats will remain the same from here, while details may be subject to change in the final edit. If you enjoy a good mystery (and romance), I would ask you to please consider reading. Thank you so much!)

In Harmstead Bay, secrets are currency, and fake smiles hide real betrayals. This elite seaside town is ruled by wealth and power, where you're either somebody or work for somebody. The rich kids burn through money like oxygen, never knowing what it means to struggle. A year ago, fourteen friends set sail. Only four returned. Their story was airtight: a fire, a sinking boat, ten lives lost to the ocean. They moved on, distanced themselves, and buried the past. But when one of the "dead" washes up in California, alive, with no memory of what happened the cracks in their perfect lie begin to show. Now, the four survivors must come together and rewrite the past before the truth destroys them. Because in a town built on money, power, and privilege, even murder can be bought and buried... but not forever.
