Religiously Romantic by NL-JOHN

Grace Copeland, a pastor's niece with a failing heart and an unshakeable faith, meets James Decker, a wealthy, intellectually ruthless philosophy student who believes in logic, legacy, and nothing else. Their collision begins in a university lecture hall as a theological duel-faith versus reason-and ignites into something far more dangerous: a love that rewires both their destinies. --- In Essence: Imagine The Fault in Our Stars written by Marilynne Robinson-a literary, theological, and heartbreakingly intelligent love story about a dying skeptic who bequeaths his heart to the faithful girl he loves, making his body the final premise in a lifelong debate about God, love, and what remains when we're gone. The core question: If you could turn your heart into an argument, what would it prove?

The Forbidden Love by authordhea

They were once each other's world, destined to be together - until fate and family tore them apart. Now, Aria and Hayden live lives dictated by duty, married to others, yet drawn to each other with a force they cannot resist. Thrown into the same social circle, every encounter is a careful dance of restraint. Every glance, every accidental brush of hands, sends sparks that neither can ignore. Their feelings, long buried beneath guilt and societal expectation, simmer quietly - growing stronger with every stolen moment and whispered conversation. As they navigate weddings, celebrations, and the expectations of those around them, their connection deepens in secret. A slow, consuming tension builds between them, one that neither time nor distance can erase. Each touch, each lingering look, tests the boundaries they've set, and the forbidden love they try to deny becomes harder to ignore. But love this potent cannot stay hidden forever. With watchful eyes observing every move, and hearts beating for a connection that defies reason, Aria and Hayden must decide: will they risk everything for the love that never truly left them, or resign themselves to the life fate has forced upon them?

Beneath the Bridge by siriusstarsgirl

She's fighting to survive. He's given up on caring. But when their worlds collide, neither of them will ever be the same. Aria Delaney has mastered the art of pretending. Pretending her home isn't crumbling under the weight of debt, neglect, and anger. Pretending the bruises on her heart don't exist. By day, she's the straight-A scholarship girl who keeps her head down and her books close. By night, she escapes to a secret bridge in the woods-her only real safe haven. Jace Callahan is everything she hates: wealthy, reckless, and untouchable. Tattooed, motorcycle-riding heartbreaker of Linwood Academy. Everyone either wants him or wants to be him. But Aria only remembers the boy who slammed a door in her face after mocking her father's firing-then dragged her name through the mud on her first day at her new school. They're enemies, plain and simple. Until forced proximity, simmering tension, and late-night run-ins start to blur the line between hate and something more dangerous. Because beneath the smirks and insults, both of them are hiding secrets. And when broken meets broken beneath the bridge... Something unbreakable might just form.

Quiet soul by latenightreeads

Aria is a survivor whose will to live has been extinguished. Years of continual, brutal abuse at the hands of her boyfriend and his friends have systematically stripped her of everything: her voice, her will, and every flicker of human emotion. She is a shadow, a quiet soul trapped in a body she can no longer control. When a routine noise complaint brings Officer Roman Gray to her apartment, he finds a scene of pure nightmare: Aria, tied up and gravely injured. Roman gets her out, but the danger is far from over. To remain safe while her abuser is hunted down, Aria must stay under the protective custody of the compassionate officer. The only problem? Aria won't speak. She won't cry. She shows no reaction, no relief, no sign of the person Roman is so desperate to believe is still inside. Roman has sworn to protect her body from the outside world, but can one man's patience and empathy ever hope to reach a mind so deeply traumatized? Or is Aria's quiet soul already too far gone to save?

Adrian's Curse by Lyralines

Some boys break hearts. Adrian breaks everything. Adrian Hale was Eastwood High's reckless bad boy: fast motorcycle, sharper smirk, and a past no one dared to ask about. They called him cursed, because every girl who ever fell for him ended up broken. Maya Ellis wasn't supposed to notice him. She wanted to stay invisible, but Adrian noticed her and once their worlds collided, she couldn't ignore the shadows in his eyes. He pushed people away to protect them. She refused to be pushed. Maya had to decide: run before it destroyed her, or fight to break it-even if it meant losing everything.

The Fire We Carry by tinaawritezz

Aria Holloway lost her sight in a tragic fire during her final year of high school - a fire that stole not only her vision, but also the one place that held the last pieces of her late mother. Sheltered and home-schooled ever since, she steps onto her university campus for the first time, quiet and cautious, determined to build a new chapter of her life. Enter Asher Rutherford, loud, reckless, and everything she isn't. A campus troublemaker with a mysterious edge, he crashes into Aria's carefully controlled world like a storm. But as their connection deepens, Aria begins to "see" him in ways no one else ever has, beyond the swagger, beyond the rumours, into the boy he hides beneath. What she doesn't know is that Asher has secrets - the kind that could unravel everything Aria thought she was beginning to trust. As past and present collide, love blooms between two broken souls. But can they survive the truth when it finally comes to light? A story about scars, second chances, and the quiet strength of forgiveness, The Fire We Carry is a slow-burning, emotionally charged romance that asks: how do you love someone who's still learning how to forgive himself?

Say Please by ScarletPagess

He's everything she shouldn't want. She's everything he can't resist. Adrian Wolfe has a reputation-dangerous, untouchable, never the dating type. Kiara knows better than to get caught in his orbit. But one look, one dare, one touch shatters her defenses. What starts as teasing games and stolen glances spirals into something raw, consuming and impossible to deny. Adrian makes her feel alive in ways she doesn't understand... and terrified of how much she's starting to need him. He's not supposed to fall. She's not supposed to beg. When the line between control and surrender blurs, neither of them can walk away without burning.

His Sunshine | ✓ by pink_flamingo_09

She looks up at me, taking a step forward and smiling slightly, "How can I ever get hurt when I have you here to protect me?" "But you could have gotten hurt," I murmur softly, hanging my head and feeling my shoulders drop, the tension seeping from my body. "No. Stop," She cuts me off sternly but tenderly, "Don't talk like that, Reece. I'm okay, you're okay, we're okay," She speaks softly, reaching her hand up to gently brush her thumb over my cheek, just under the cut that's there. "We're okay," I repeat, taking a small step closer to her. She nods with a small smile, moving her hand down from my cheek and instead placing the palm of her hand on my chest, right over my heart. I know she can feel how fast my heart is beating. I just don't know why it's doing that. ~ Reece Carter is the bad boy of Northwood High. He smokes and he fights. He has countless tattoos covering his body. And he doesn't care about anything or anyone else. Layla Stevens is your average seventeen year-old girl, just trying to get through high school, with the friends she loves and doing the things she loves. When these two cross paths accidentally in an unusual way, they leave and never expect to speak to each other again. But fate has other plans. Layla finds her way into Reece's life and Reece doesn't know what to do about it. This ray of Sunshine suddenly meant something to him. She understood him when it seemed like no one else did. And he protected her from everyone who tried to hurt His Sunshine. Get ready for a story filled with bad pick-up lines, twin telepathy and a lot of fighting. Like, a LOT. Thanks for that one, Reece.
