M/M Romance | Healing After Abuse | Slow Burn

Jack keeps his head down-fixing cars, avoiding trouble, and staying far away from the ghosts of his past. But when a visit to his estranged son leads him to someone unexpected, everything changes.

Eli is quiet, guarded, and far too young to carry so much weight behind his eyes. Jack isn't looking to get involved. But something about Eli makes it impossible to walk away.

What begins as a rescue becomes something far more complicated... and far more dangerous.

Driving You Besotted (gxg, Teacher/Student) by KBnot3s

⚠️ WARNING: Big age-gap, teacher and student relationship, and a little bit graphic out of descriptions. "When you love something...you fight for it, but when someone drives you besotted you will do everything for desire even to put your life at risk." ----------------------------------- A thirty-three-year-old woman who has mastered the art of concealment, and a twenty-one-year-old girl whose curiosity compels her to uncloak every mystery that dares to hold her gaze. When their paths collide, mountains of paradox rise between them-age, authority, restraint, and unspoken longing. Yet compassion, fragile and dangerous, blooms in the valleys of despair they never meant to share. This is not a love that arrives gently. It is a slow burn-one that simmers beneath stolen glances, fractured morals, and choices that could cost everything. •I just wanted to let you know that this is a SLOW BURN ROMANCE.

A slow fall by paiigess

Caleb was lost and had been for as long as he could remember. He tried to walk the path his parents wanted, but he couldn't see it through the darkness. With his brothers away for college everything became worse. The once warm home felt ice cold, the halls devoid of sound and his life devoid of colour. Then he bumped into Lucas. His long time neighbour who he was certain only saw him as his best friends little brother. Until he didn't. Until Lucas inserted himself further into Caleb's life, getting closer to him than anyone had ever been. Too close. Or maybe that's just what Caleb needed, someone to see more than what was on the surface. Maybe the love he sought was right there in front if him, and so was the help he needed. --- *This is a bxb that deals with sensitive themes, religion, and mature subjects. Read with care. It's also a really. really slow burn.*

Echoes of XO: Sekani's Song (BOOK 2) by PARISTUE

P A R I S T U E © 2025 All Rights Reserved To The Original Author - XO Series: Book 2 "Sometimes a hug is all I need from you to make me feel better. It's a silent way of saying you matter to me. That my heart is wrapped in your arms." He spoke, slightly tightening his hold on the boy sitting on his lap. "I never knew love like this actually existed. I thought it was all fairytales, but you proved me wrong. Thank you." The smaller spoke his eyes sparking as he looked at the man in front of him. "I love you ma... so, so much." The older spoke, a bright smile on his face with eyes shining bright with adoration. "I love you too..." They kissed, quickly becoming entranced with each other. XOXO

HIDDEN AFFECTION by author_aryaa

A new story begins... and this time, it's not just about love it's about everything that love hides. Hidden Affection. A tale where emotions run deep even when they're buried beneath anger, silence, and duty. She's fierce, free spirited, and unpredictable a 24 year old with a heart full of spark, rebellion, and unapologetic dreams. He's mature, composed, and everything she swore she'd never fall for a 28 year old man bound by rules, reputation, and silence. They're nothing alike. She's chaos. He's calm. She questions everything. He follows structure. But sometimes, it's the opposites that burn the brightest when they collide. When their worlds crash into each other, sparks fly but not the pretty kind. It's messy. It's intense. And beneath all that chaos... something begins to grow something they both try to deny. A journey that starts with misunderstandings, cold stares, and unexpected encounters... A story where hatred slowly softens into something unspoken. Where boundaries blur. And hearts, unknowingly, begin to lean in. Tropes you'll find in this story: • Arranged Marriage • Professor x Student • Chaotic Couple • Slow Burn Romance • Opposite attracts This is not your typical romance. It's about stolen glances, denial, unsaid feelings, broken rules and hidden care and the slow unfolding of affection that was never supposed to happen. Hidden Affection - By @author_aryaa Creative Collaborator - @ehaawrites We can't wait to share this journey with you.

Young Hearts - Elias x You Part 2 by xkillua98

In this explosive continuation, Elias and the boy who stole his heart are finally free to love each other out loud. Or so they think. Secrets still linger. Parents still don't understand. And just when things feel safe, the past begins to whisper again. This part of their journey is messier, riskier, and more intense - full of secret kisses, forbidden meetings, emotional scars, and a love so powerful it could break them both. The friend group is louder, the games are bolder, and the stakes are higher than ever. Jealousy. Desire. Recovery. Rebellion. Pain. Trauma. Can their love survive what's coming next?

Finding Life Again by Kariario

Raised by cold parents who never offered him a glimpse of affection, Kai dedicated his life to earning the love he never received at home. Successful in his studies and devoted to his passions, he found a romance that ultimately shattered him, coupled with the harsh realization that he had failed and that his parents would never acknowledge him. A year after his graduation, Kai felt lost and unsure of how to chart his path forward. Clinging to the one person who had never left his side, he resolved to confront the traumas that haunted him. He never anticipated that the person who would help him the most would be someone he had met right at the beginning of his journey. SMALL EXCLAIMER/ The story doesn't visually describe sexual scenes. There are just a few makeout scenes. The first few chapters are describing a person who is slightly depressed and some light anxiety behaviour situations. It is not a heavy book. The characters are not abusive. The relationships are healthy, and I hope my book is as positive and easy to read as I wanted it to be. However, for some people can be triggering as there are mentions of anxiety and social awkwardness.

Closer To You [jikook] by chae_savvy

In the quiet spaces between words and silences, they stumble, two fractured souls reaching through the dark. Burnt mornings, tangled nights, and the weight of all the things left unsaid. Love here isn't a gentle flame, it's a storm, fierce and fragile, pulling them closer even as it threatens to tear them apart. This is a story of scars and surrender, of fragile hope whispered beneath broken breaths, and the endless ache of wanting someone to stay .. even when it feels impossible. Closer. Always closer.
