She escaped with her life. Now she has to learn how to live it.

After surviving a violent, near-fatal relationship, Lily is starting over-new town, new apartment, new job. With her two best friends by her side and a receptionist role at a cosmetic surgery center, it's the kind of peace she never thought she'd have again.

But just as she begins to find her footing, Nate-her childhood best friend and the boy who once made her believe in safe love-moves back to town, reeling from his own heartbreak. What begins as late-night talks and quiet understanding soon turns into something warmer, something softer... something she isn't sure she deserves.

As old wounds surface and PTSD threatens her progress, she must decide: will she let the past define her forever, or can healing look a lot like falling in love with someone who's never stopped caring?

Tender, honest, and quietly hopeful, this is a story of trauma, recovery, and the kind of intimacy that doesn't just heal-but helps you remember who you are.

I am Clara by MyriamRow

Clara Molino is far from a perfect warrior, and she makes that known, amongst her passionate lack of interest in being the chosen one. Grouchy and self-deprecating, Clara is any of us placed in the same shoes. Everyone wants to be a hero, but does anyone want to be injected with painful superhuman liquid, be trained by a morally questionable group and battle a reincarnated, centuries old warrior and her minions? Between having a dead-beat dad, an alcoholic mother and practically raising her four siblings, Clara just wants a break. She wants to feel like herself again. She expects a two-week school trip around the world, with her best friend, to present the perfect break. She does not expect to be harassed by a ghastly, frail older woman. She fights every step of the hero-becoming process, thus establishing a challenging relationship with her mentor whom Clara has nicknamed after the Indonesian word for Nightmare. Her mentor is convinced that love is Clara's only down fall; fears that her relationship with Easton Andrews will be her undoing. But there is absolutely nothing going on between her and Andrews; except constant child-like bickering... At least, according to Clara. As Clara and Andrews' relationship blossoms, as they both become impossibly closer and distant, is Mimpi right? Will love destroy Clara?

Stage Kiss by Blondeanddangerous

When a finance student steps into the spotlight as an understudy for the hottest stage show in town, she discovers that the greatest drama isn't just on stage-it's falling for her leading man and risking everything for a life she never dared to dream. Liv, a pragmatic finance student, never imagined herself on stage-until a chance encounter lands her the understudy role for Queen Astrielle in a secretive, high-profile stage adaptation of the global romatasy phenomenon Nights of Flame and Frost. For Liv, it's the perfect summer gig: paid, exciting, and a chance to watch real actors at work. Her mother would be furious if she found out, but Liv is determined to seize this rare opportunity for herself. Thrown into a close-knit cast, Liv quickly bonds with Tiffany, the dazzling leading lady, and finds herself mentored by theatre veterans. But when Tiffany can't perform, Liv is thrust into the spotlight-and into the arms of Ryan Reeves, the brooding, fiercely talented leading man. Their on-stage chemistry is electric, but off-stage, Ryan is guarded and aloof. As rehearsals intensify, Liv and Ryan's connection deepens, blurring the line between performance and reality. Liv must navigate backstage drama, her own insecurities, and the growing tension with Ryan, all while hiding her new life from her controlling mother. With the show's opening night looming, Liv faces a choice: return to her safe, predictable path in finance, or risk everything for a future she never dared to dream of. Stage Kiss is a romance with heat, heart, and plenty of drama, exploring themes of self-discovery, belonging, and the courage to step into the spotlight.
