Heartbreak Express by rayneaissance

🏆 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐲𝐬 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 | She ran from her wedding the day she found out the groom was expecting a baby with someone else. Now, with a broken heart and no suitcase, she's starting over in London... Two men, one new life and a second chance she never saw coming. Isabella Solène Hart was supposed to be a bride. Instead, she became a woman who walked away from betrayal, from shame, from the version of love that left her undone. London offers her nothing but silence and strangers and that's exactly what she needs until it starts to offer more. A job at a luxury PR firm, a flat that slowly becomes a home, a local café with warm coffee and warmer smiles, a neighbour with a cat named Rufus and a shopkeeper named Robert, gruff, loyal, quietly becoming the father figure she never had. But nothing shakes her more than the two men who begin to orbit her new life. Skylar, the charming café owner with kind eyes, he makes her laugh again, makes her feel again, but when it matters most... he stays silent. And Sebastian, the enigmatic CEO with ice-blue eyes and power in every breath. He shouldn't be looking at her the way he does, he shouldn't know who she is, but he does and what begins as a spark quickly threatens to set fire to the walls she's still rebuilding. Now Bella must navigate more than just a second chance, she must decide what kind of love she's ready for and whether she can open her heart again without losing herself in the process. It's a story of loss, of starting over, and the two men who force her to face what love really means. Of heartbreak turned healing, of strangers turned family. It's not just about falling in love, it's about who you become when your world shatters... and you choose to rise anyway.

When We Found Us (The South Grove Shores Series Book 2) by Megsmcg07

Josette Wilde never imagined her happy ending would start with her house burning down. Once a hopeless romantic who believed in grand gestures and cinematic kisses, Jo learned the hard way that real life rarely follows a script. When the man she thought was her forever walked out the moment she told him she was pregnant, Jo was left to rewrite her story-this time as a single mother to a fearless little girl named Hannah. Years later, just as Jo lands the kind of job that could finally give them the life they deserve, disaster strikes-her home is destroyed in a freak accident, leaving her and Hannah with nothing but each other. With no place to go, Jo turns to the last person she ever expected to lean on: Mitchell Harris, her charming, fiercely protective childhood friend. He offers them a place to stay, and Jo accepts-grateful, but uneasy. She's been secretly crushing on him for the last couple of years, and living under the same roof only blurs the lines she's fought for years to keep in place. As Jo and Mitchell fall into an unexpected rhythm-shared meals, whispered laughter, stolen glances-the life Jo always dreamed of suddenly feels within reach. But just as her heart begins to hope again, the past shows up at her front door. Hannah's father wants back in, claiming he's ready to be a father and fix what he broke. Now, Jo is faced with an impossible choice: return to the familiar comfort of a love that once betrayed her, or risk everything on the man who just might be her forever-if she's brave enough to believe in a new beginning.
