When Eli Lockhart returns to his hometown after three years away, it's supposed to be a short visit - just two weeks to settle his late father's affairs and disappear again. But when he runs into Margot Hayes, the girl he left behind, the past comes rushing back like a tidal wave he can't outrun. 

What begins as an awkward reunion turns into a fragile, undeniable pull. As old memories resurface and buried wounds crack open, Eli and Margot are drawn into an intense, bittersweet connection neither of them expected. For a fortnight, they dance between tenderness and regret, between the ache of goodbye and hope of something more.

But two weeks can only hold so much. And when the clock runs out, Eli and Margot will have to face the hardest question of all: can you ever truly come home --- or are some loves meant to live only in memory?

Fortnight is a haunting, intimate story about lost chances, the weight of time, and the people we carry with is long after they're gone.All Rights Reserved

Mending Fate (Summers In Love, #1) by TheFeveredBookaholic

Second chances are meant to bring hope but aren't they also a reminder of everything we've lost? Brenna Hayes knows exactly what it's like to lose everything you love. Widowed and broken, a second chance knocks on her door when an old mentor offers her a job in the town she left all those years ago. But there's a reason she left and it's the same reason she dreads going back. With no other option, she packs her things and returns to her past only to discover she left more loose ends than she realized. Grant Carter is one of those loose ends. The boy who broke her heart so many years ago and, ironically, has become the man who fixes things for a living. He also happens to be the contractor for Brenna's new home and suddenly finds himself face-to-face with the only woman he's ever loved. And the only woman he ever let go. Now, he's determined not to let his second chance get away and show Brenna just how good he is at mending what's been broken. *Rated 18+ due to mature themes and language.

Still Yours by laurenbrazz

Four years ago, a devastating car crash nearly killed 18-year-old Zoe Fletcher. She survived-but with no memory of her life before. Her older brother whisked her and her fraternal twin sister away from their small town, cutting ties completely. Now 22, they return after their grandmother's death to handle the estate. But what was meant to be a weekend of closure becomes something else entirely-because the boy she once loved is still there... and still in love with her.

The Traitor's Wife by MaryRose_Author

My grief is a lie. His guilt a weapon. And remembering will destroy whoever I used to love. Maybe this was it. Maybe she had already crossed the line between the living and the lost. The thought of reuniting with Alexei, of seeing him again, wherever he was, felt less terrifying than stepping through that door to meet his killer. Death, at least, would have been merciful. Forget everything you think you know about mafia romance. This isn't a story about an innocent girl stumbling into a dangerous world. Claire lived in that world, she just can't remember how... or what it cost her. A love story where the deepest betrayal may be the one you inflict on yourself. Fair warning: this book will break you, reshape you, and leave you desperate for answers you're too afraid to face. ⚠️ Content Disclaimer ⚠️ This work contains mature themes and potentially triggering content, including but not limited to: violence, death, emotional abuse, manipulation, trauma, sexual tension, and morally complex relationships.

We were something by Anyone005

"If he ever finds out how fast my heart beats when he's near me... I'm doomed." "If she gets any closer, I'm going to forget why I'm pretending not to care." Claire never expected her quiet life to clash with Archer- the school's most unreadable mystery. What starts with playful pranks turns into late night thoughts, missed chances and a silence that grows too loud to ignore. One misunderstanding changes everything. five years later, they meet again- older, colder and still unfinished. They were something. But can They ever become something again? one misunderstanding. 5 yrs apart. A love that never left.

The Gravity of You by The_CrazyCatLady

He was the boy who left. She was the girl who couldn't forget. One year. 365 days of silence. That's what Aiden gave Emma when he walked out of her life without a trace. Now he's back, with a darkness in his eyes she doesn't recognize and a pull she doesn't remembers being this strong. What do you do when the boy who shattered your world walks back into it a year later, with the same crooked smile and a million secrets in his eyes? When the old, electric pull between them is stronger than ever. Between jealous friends, a toxic ex, and the suffocating weight of the secrets he's still keeping, Emma finds herself pulled towards him all over again. He's determined to win her back, one stolen moment, one possessive touch, and one heartbreaking confession at a time. But rebuilding a love on the ashes of the past is a dangerous game. And this time, the fire might just burn them both to the ground.

What If I Was Nothing by FearghalLorcan

They loved hard, fought harder, and broke quietly. Ryan and Hannah were supposed to last - the kind of love that survives slammed doors, sleepless nights, and promises said in the dark. But love, as they learned, doesn't always fade in one clean motion. Sometimes it unravels, thread by thread, until you wake up beside someone you no longer recognize. After years of trying to fix what was already gone, Hannah walked away. Ryan stayed - until the silence between them became too heavy to bear. Years later, Ryan has rebuilt his world. A new home. A wife who makes him laugh. A baby boy who carries his smile. He's finally found peace in the wreckage. But when Hannah reappears one morning, holding all the words she never said, both are forced to face the truth: love doesn't die - it changes. And sometimes, the hardest part isn't losing each other. It's learning to live with what remains.

Found Again 🌙 by Aelira_Selene

After five years of silence, Nila wasn't expecting to see Aarav again-especially not in the same office corridor where their story had once quietly unraveled. She had learned to bury her feelings, to live with the echoes of love that never got to grow. But fate has its own rhythm. From shared glances to shared coffee, from unsent letters to late-night conversations, Nila and Aarav begin to rewrite what was lost. Not with grand declarations, but with the slow, aching honesty of people who've been broken-and are now brave enough to hold each other gently. This is not a love story about fireworks. It's about returning. About staying. About the quiet kind of love that asks nothing but presence... and gives everything in return. A story of second chances, soft tension, and the love that waited.

𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓡𝓮𝓽𝓾𝓻𝓷 𝓣𝓸 𝓨𝓸𝓾 by louvvieval

Some love never really leaves. Soretta thought she was done with Devon. He thought he could forget her. But fate has other plans. A glance. A word. A memory that won't fade. Sparks ignite slowly, secrets linger in the shadows, and hearts ache with the weight of what was left unfinished. Returning to someone isn't easy, but maybe, just maybe, it's worth every moment. ----------- Slow Burn Romance | Second Chance | Coming of Age | Mature Romance | Secrets & Heartbreak | Slow Reveal of Feelings Content Warnings: ⚠️ Mature Themes: Sexual content, intimate situations, adult situations, Mental Health, and emotional tension.
