~He reminded her of a forgotten joy; she became his reason to hope.~

In "Swimming Back to You," childhood sweethearts Hailey and Austin are about to rediscover a love that time and distance could not erase.

Years ago, they shared a summer camp romance that left a lasting impression on both their hearts. Hailey, once a vibrant, carefree girl full of joy, has since struggled to maintain her spark amidst a series of betrayals and societal pressures. Her inner child, who once roared with laughter and embraced life with open arms, has faded into the background.

Austin, the boy who admired her spirit from afar, has never forgotten the way her laughter felt like sunshine in his world. Now, as adults, their paths cross again in the most unexpected of places-a swimming class where Hailey hopes to reclaim a sense of freedom she lost along the way.

As Hailey and Austin reconnect, they embark on a journey not only to rekindle their past romance but also to heal their wounded hearts. Through their reunion, Hailey begins to rediscover the joyful, loving person she once was, and Austin becomes a mirror reflecting the love and hope she thought she had lost.

"Swimming Back to You" is a poignant tale of second chances, inner healing, and the rediscovery of a love that has always been waiting to come back to the surface.All Rights Reserved

Where the Stars Fall by AnaSimons

How far would you go to protect the ones you love? A successful architect with a promising career in London, Brian's world spins out of control when the man he always saw as a second father betrays him in the most unexpected way. Left without closure, a year has passed and Brian is now more determined than ever to undo the harm done to the ones he loves most, his family. Even if that means riding the thin line between justice, revenge, and obsession... Immersed in his resolve, finding love again was the last thing on his mind. Until fate steps in and a chance encounter changes everything. Meeting Olivia again so unexpectedly, at his best friend's wedding, stirs up memories he had long ago put away. She'd been his first love, his kindred spirit - and the woman who left him without saying so much as a goodbye. Which doesn't make him want her less. He knows it, the moment she locks her deep green eyes on his. Even knowing it might be too late to repair what's been once broken, Brian refuses to lose her again and sets out to find a way back to her heart. But it's been more than ten years since their story was left unfinished. Will they get one last chance to make things right? Or will Brian learn that sometimes justice comes at too high a price? *** NOTE TO READERS: A full-length, standalone contemporary romance, Where the Stars Fall was previously published on Wattpad as Falling Home. This edition has been fully revised with added and edited content.

My Unexpected Weakness by eths_me

"I loved, and adored him back then. But maybe, second chances aren't meant for everyone in the world."

Then an unexpected thing will happen that someone will fall in love with her that she met in the world of RPW, who had a familiar vibe. How will she handle it? Is the first guy still the same guy? Are they still one person? Or the other way around. Is there a chance that, maybe, the silent opponent of who?

Or, her literal weakness is the guy who admired her since they were in their first years, in high school. What if the two of them are her weakness and it is unexpected. But the worst thing is another person, or more people will confuse her again about what she feels towards the guy that he truly loves. Years will come, thousands of people will meet and encounter each other, cashes will continue to burn out, those bright colors will fade, leaves will fall down by the help of the frail or burly wind, small plants will finally grow, time will fly quickly, and then maturity will hit them. All of us will grow old, but her true weakness will still remain who? From a puppy love, back in high school until she became the heiress, will still be who? Who will be her unexpected weakness?

After Kissing by _SiaraL_

❝We were quite a cliche, weren't we?❞ he smirked but I ignored the pang it spread in my chest. ❝We were. But this is real life. We can't hang on fantasies anymore.❞ ❝Then why can't I forget you?❞ Adult life wasn't as easy as Hailey expected. Her job is ungrattifying, she founds herself being flat mate of her college brother and on top of everything, now Nate Herond, her high school boyfriend who broke her heart five years ago is back. (Kissing Series #2)This is the sequel of 'Just Kissing', I recommend reading the first part but it can easily be ready as a stand-alone.
