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

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.

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.

The Secret She Kept by NicoleNewby0

Three years ago, Charlotte Jameson walked away from a love that broke her heart-and took a secret with her: she was pregnant. Now, at a friend's wedding, her past collides with the present when she sees Ethan Hayes again... and he sees her daughter. A daughter with his eyes. Ethan wants answers. Charlotte wants to protect the life she's built. But the truth won't stay buried-and as Ethan discovers the child he never knew he had, both must confront old wounds, shattered trust, and the fragile hope of starting over. Can two people who lost everything find their way back to each other-and build something stronger from the ruins? A heartwarming second-chance romance about forgiveness, healing, and the kind of love that grows deeper when it's tested by time.

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.
