"Is it easy? No. But growing never is. Trying to stick to the boundaries I've made- it's what I need to do. And when it comes to this - when it comes to the life we've built - that's something I won't ever turn my back on."
~~~
It's been five years since Roman and Jensen took the step of becoming something more. It's been five years of wonderful dates, amazing trips, and beautiful memories. It's been five years of blissful happiness with nothing except pure excitement for their bright future together.

But right as they're about to take another substantial leap, one final obstacle is left standing in Roman's way. Long forgotten attachments return. Broken relationships are thrust back into his face. The resolve he's worked so hard to create is put to the test, and he has to decide if he'll let this hurdle build him, or break him.

Roman is willing to fight for an amazing future. An amazing life.

He's just never faced a burden as heavy as this.

TWISTED FATE (Twisted Path Book 1) by ArianaClarkAuthor

He was born to rule. She was forged in fire. But falling in love might be their undoing. I know how to survive. I've been doing it since the day my mother taught me to hide in closets and wait for the monsters to pass. Trusting people? Loving them? That's how you get broken. So when Shane Montgomery-Mr. Golden Boy with his perfect smile and world of privilege-offered to help me, I didn't believe him. Why would someone like him care about someone like me? I'm barely holding my life together-working double shifts, sleeping too little, chasing a future no one thinks I deserve. But Shane is relentless. Not just with tutoring or grades, but with me. With seeing me. Touching the parts of me I've kept buried because needing someone is dangerous. And wanting him? That's a cliff I can't afford to fall from. Still... I'm slipping. Because when he looks at me like I'm his everything-like I'm the only thing he needs, like our love is fated, written into the very fabric of the universe-I almost believe him. And if I allow myself to fall-really fall-it won't just be into his arms. It'll be straight into the wreckage of everything I've fought so hard to survive. In the first installment of the Twisted Path Series, opposites collide, secrets unravel, and two star-crossed lovers cling to each other in a world determined to tear them apart.

For Worse or For Better- Book #6 in the WF Series by anyawritezzz

Marriage. Displayed to be the most perfect thing, but can have its faults at times. Roman and Alaiya seem to be learning more about that every day. They're learning to grow as people, not just together, but also by themselves. Yes, things get hard, but will Roman and Alaiya's love be strong enough to survive through those hardships? ***This is a sequel into Roman and Alaiya's relationship. I would not recommend reading this unless you have already read Worse for Better. ~~~~ "Thank you for the best birthday present." I give him a confused look. "But I didn't get you anything." Maybe he forgot that he put a rule against me buying him literally anything or else he would toss me to Canada. His words, not mine. "You buying me a private jet or some shit like that isn't the same thing as you giving me the chance to fall in love with you all over again every time we get moments like these." He makes direct eye contact when he says that, meaning he actually feels that way, meaning I'm about to start crying any second now.

He Says He's Just A Friend by jms777

Emmet and Clay did not meet on the best of terms, but that doesn't stop them from becoming fast friends. As their bond grows stronger, they will do whatever it takes to maintain this new friendship. Even though that may not be all that either of them wants. After years of living in a conservative southern town, Emmett has developed a hard shell that is not easily pierced. It's gotten even more difficult since breaking up with his first serious boyfriend left him feeling devastated and betrayed. Then a new friend comes along to peel back all the layers of protection, making Emmett feel happy again, and perhaps making him feel something more. The loss of his father at a young age left Clay with severe anxiety. His girlfriend says he's emotionally distant - because he is. Clay never gave much thought to his sexuality. He started dating because all his friends were, and although his relationships never seem to work out, he continues to try, because that's what's expected. The steady track he's been traveling is suddenly upended when he becomes enamored with a boy he just met. Now Clay has to figure out what he wants and how far he's willing to go to get it.

A Path That's Right for Me by The_Musician

"I've had to second guess myself a lot over the years. I've had to put up walls. I've had to run away and push things down in order to keep others from hurting me. But...this, right now, is something I've never been more certain of." ~~~ Following another brutal fight with Rachel and Jensen's unexpected confession, Roman finds himself stuck at a fork in the road. Years worth of abuse and neglect have cultivated into a broken sense of worth, leaving him unsure of how long it'll take to move past his greatest hurdles. And when a familiar face from his past reappears to cause trouble, the future he was working toward feels out of reach. With the stakes being at their highest, with more than just his heart on the line, Roman has to decide what type of change he has to make next. He has to find the path that's right for him. [Book Two in the " Me" Series]

Loving Zach (MxM) by DKDaisy

Sometimes you need just one person to make all the difference in the world. And even better if you get a whole family of them. Zach's been living in his car for a month now. He has nowhere to go, no job and his money is starting to run out. Life has been rough on him, growing up in an abusive home and later in life becoming the center of a vile man's attention. Just as he thinks his life is never getting better, he meets the charming business owner Dean. Zach is a broken boy and has nothing to offer to a successful businessman who's so handsome he could be on a magazine cover. But life has a way of putting the right person in your path even if you didn't know you were on the one. This is a finished, full length (80k words), slow burn romance about learning to trust, falling in love and healing after life has beaten you down. !Trigger warning: This story deals with child neglect, child abuse, domestic violence and rape.

Starting With You by AngieMahlke

Romance trope: best friends to lovers. "You're supposed to be my best friend, but all I can think about is kissing you again." TEDDY: I somehow got stuck in the unfortunate "one of the guys" category. It was on accident, naturally falling into this role since my childhood best friend was a boy. The crush on my best friend was also an accident. He's always seen me as one of the guys. That is, until the one drunken night he didn't. The one that nearly ruined everything a decade ago. JENSEN: It was much easier when I didn't notice how hot my best friend is. It would be even better if the rest of the jackoffs in our small town would stop noticing too. I can still remember all the details from our night together years ago. The night we never talk about, yet it's still so fresh in my mind. But will a secret scar from a past relationship ruin everything? [This is BOOK ONE of the WITH YOU series, a small town romance series set in Minnesota about the lives of the dysfunctional, blended Anderson family - with an interwoven mystery built into the background that spans the entirety of the series.] **Title formerly The Rest of Forever**
