Brave Enough To Love Again by CalliopeBlythe

I stood with my back to her, shielding her, and my murderous eyes stared down at the poor excuse of a man, promising unimaginable pain if he dared to move or even flinch. The enormity of control it took me to suppress the impulse to eradicate the piece of scum, who dared to even think about laying a hand on a woman, was inconceivable. My whole body was trembling with rage. The guy was intimidated by the fury in my eyes and stumbled back to his intoxicated friends who were too dazed to understand the situation. I was disappointed and relieved at the same time that the chaos didn't end in a fist fight. When I turned around to console her, she was gone. And as I looked around, I saw her back just leaving the bar through the entrance. I hurried out to follow her. She walked ahead of me aimlessly and disoriented like a wounded animal that had just escaped the claws of death. My heart ached for her. I found a kindred soul in her. She evidently had been wounded in the past. Just like me. But in an even worse way than I had been hurt, and it angered me, that someone had dared to harm her. *** Eden Marie Simmons is still recovering after escaping an abusive relationship when she meets Keane, the broody and enigmatic neighbor who is shrouded in mystery.

Life challenges them both with secrets, lies, and broken trusts, and confronts them with their pasts. They both must learn to be brave enough to love again. *** Story is previously called "Paradise Lies"

Water From Mud by woodlander8

Does anger cause damage? If Georgia Ellenburg still believed in coincidences, she'd disagree. But George knows better. People get hurt around her, and now that her sister doesn't want to go to a college--a dream George gave up so that it could belong to Maeve--George is forced to stare down her past, and, in the meantime, protect her budding relationship with Sam, who she knows her anger will harm if given the chance. Since having assumed guardianship over her sister, George has one goal: to keep Maeve safe, and, at twenty-four, she's done so by creating a life with minimal unpredictability. In her efforts, George has given up nearly everything so that her sister can have the life that was supposed to belong to George. Maeve, however, expresses other ideas, ideas that don't involve college or anything that George gave up for her sister, which pits George against the choices she's made and the anger she's buried because of them. George has a secret, a secret that can no longer be considered a coincidence, and when Sam enters her life and begins to chip away at the pain she thought she'd let go, she must face the ultimate test of unpredictability: either confront her past or risk hurting Sam. Because her anger always hurts those around her. xxx tags: slow burn, romance, family drama, feminism, trauma

Then someone starts threatening Summer, sending her vicious notes, placing dead animals on her step, destroying her things. And to her surprise Ace vows to help find this mysterious person, pulling the two of them together in an unexpected way. But just as Summer finds herself growing closer to Ace, she begins to realize that this person doesn't just want her destroyed. They want her dead.

The Boys Of Echo Beach Vol. 2 by Nepenthe0000

Georgia, now 18, returns to Echo Beach for the second time. However, instead of needing to choose between Connor or Will, she only has one person in mind. Someone that may very well despise her entirely, someone that she's barely spoken to, and someone that unbeknownst to her has felt exactly the same way long before she even realised her own feelings. Contains some smut. Recommend listening to the music. It'll help you get the vibe. Trigger warning for possible sensitive topics. P.s. If you enjoyed The Summer I Turned Pretty then I definitely recommend you read this. (Disclaimer: I am in no way shape or form trying to offend anyone with any of the topics, events or language that may take place or be used in this book. Also, this is a work of fiction and only uses influences from The Summer I Turned Pretty. None of the characters from that show/book will appear. Only characters or themes similar to them. I simply made this because I am a fan.)
