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.

The Caretaker He Bought by puffy_1304

"You're not here to fall in love." "Trust me, sir... I don't even know what that means." She was sold like a possession-traded away by the very people who were supposed to protect her. At just seventeen, she finds herself in a cold, unfamiliar mansion owned by a powerful man known for his silence, strict rules, and a heartbreak he never talks about. His only condition? Take care of his one-year-old daughter. Don't speak unless spoken to. Don't enter his study. Never touch him. For her, following orders is nothing new. Obedience has kept her alive this long. But the baby's soft cries break something inside her, and her tender touch begins to warm a house that forgot what love felt like. He tells himself she's just a caretaker. Just a temporary solution. But night after night, she shatters rule after rule... And soon, his heart becomes the final one to break. 🎯 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐫𝐞 Genre: Romance / Drama / Slow Burn / Hurt-Comfort Age rating: 16+ (emotional abuse themes, mature emotional content)

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.

Runners by rbooks01

They balance each-other out. One the calm, the other the storm. Except when they don't. Except when she loses it and makes the place burn...literally. Who knew a burnt building would lead to three lost brothers across the country and a big ass house...after being on the run for almost a year. The twins are in for a crazy ride, but they're in it together. Always. Pinky promise. Will it be enough? TW: abuse, SA, r*pe, and mature language/scenes. (I suck at descriptions, but it would mean a lot if you gave my book a try! <3 ) *Unedited* 🌻 Started ~ 24/09/21 ~ 🌻 🌻 Finished ~ 25/01/22~ 🌻

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.*

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.

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.

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

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.

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?
