Rescue Me by jerimariee

Breakups are hard enough. But they're a whole lot harder when your ex won't let you move on... When Violet first met Cash, the hearts in her eyes were too big to see the red flags that seemed to linger around every corner in his life. But when love is in the picture, the ugly stuff hides behind emotional walls and hardship can loom at the bottom of a bottle. It wasn't long before Violet lost herself in the murky waters of Cash's self-destructive behaviors and became the life preserver he needed. Now that it's over, all she wants to do is get back to her once-happy self and find a love that doesn't feel like drowning. But as the past haunts her present, loyalty is tested, confusion riddles her heart, and the progress she's made is put in jeopardy. Violet's always been the rescuing type, but can she finally save herself when it matters?

The Destiny of Violet & Luke by annikawardd

Luke Price's life has always been about order, control, and acting tough on the outside. For Luke, meaningless relationships are a distraction-a way to tune out the twisted memories of his childhood. He desperately wishes he could forget his past, but it haunts him no matter what he does. Violet Hayes has had a rough life. When she was young, she was left with no family and the memory of her parents' unsolved murders. She grew up in foster homes, living with irresponsible parents, drugs, and neglect, and trying to fight the painful memories of the night her parents were taken from her. But it's hard to forget when she never got closure-and she can't stop dreaming about what happened that tragic night. To make it through life, she keeps her distance from everyone and never allows herself to feel anything. Then Violet meets Luke. The two clash instantly, yet they can't seem to stay away from each other. Although they fight it, they both start to open up and feel things they've never felt before. They discover just how similar they are. But they also discover something else: The past always catches up with you . . .

Love Has No Color (Book 2) by Beccalove_16

Violet is in her final year of college, working through the process of who she's becoming and the fears that still whisper she's not enough. With school, an impending graduation, and an unexpected internship and job offer in New York stretching her in ways she didn't anticipate, she's discovering that walking in purpose isn't always glamorous. Through the last bit of school, she uses every ounce of her being to preserve the uniqueness of her creative gift. In her mind, the only way to make sure she's the best she can be is to be hard on herself. But as she learns, she sees that maturing in many contexts is slow, steady, and refining. There's beauty in the process, even if it first seems ugly. Alex, on the other hand, is stepping into his calling, finally launching the mentorship organization he's dreamed of. It's something good. Something necessary that provides hope and healing to him and those he wants to help. But just as things begin to come together, his past resurfaces. His estranged and abusive father returns, threatening everything Alex has been working to build. Suddenly, he's caught between honoring what he's built and confronting a pain he thought he'd buried. In the midst of it all, their relationship deepens. And in that new relationship commitment-one that demands more than just their feelings-they're thrown into the realm of learning what it really means to love when it's impossible to, to encourage honesty when it's easier to hide, and to fight for and with each other when the world just wants them to be pulled apart. The question is: can they withstand the storm?

SKINTIGHT (Part 1) by frangipanii

The two meet in their freshmen year, with little in common but their social circles. Violet spends her days numb - hiding from the pain in any way she can. Rio runs from his. He's out from dawn to dusk, if not on the court, then scrounging up money for food or finding somewhere to sleep other than his car. What divides them most... is hope. Rio has it. Violet doesn't.
