Elara Hart has always found comfort in the quiet corners of her library, surrounded by stories that never let her down. Shy, bookish, and still carrying the scars of a childhood spent in the system, she prefers fictional worlds to unpredictable people-until a brooding stranger storms into her peaceful haven and asks for The Art of War.

Kade Walker is strength, silence, and secrets. As the head of an elite special forces team, he's used to danger, control, and keeping people at arm's length. But the soft-spoken librarian with hot chocolate in her hands and hope in her eyes chips away at his walls with every awkward smile.

Their connection begins in stolen glances and slow conversations, growing deeper through moments of vulnerability, quiet dinners, and shared fears. But Kade's world is dangerous, and when it comes crashing into Elara's, he'll have to choose between protecting her from it-and letting her in completely.

With therapy, healing, and a love neither of them saw coming, Elara and Kade must learn what it means to build a life together-one chapter at a time.

A slow-burn, opposites-attract romance filled with tender moments, deep scars, and a love story that proves even the quietest hearts can love the loudest.All Rights Reserved

Avery by sofia_m2847

The little bell chimes as I walk through the door, everyone's eyes diverting to me. There's a girl, around my age, maybe younger, wiping down the counter tops, taking breaks to wipe away the short hairs in her eyes. Her apron is tied tight around her waist, her thick, dark hair mostly in a messy ponytail at the back. I make my way towards her, rolling up my sleeves to my elbows. When I move my hair from my eyes, I see her face clearly as she looks up and meets my eyes. "Coffee, black." Her deep, green eyes just gaze up at me. "Please." The second I have the coffee and I pay, she starts to talk. "Have a nice da-" But I'm out the door. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The bakery down the street, it's loved by everyone, but what's loved more is the sweet girl who runs it. She's never been seen without that huge grin and messy hair from working hard. Adam is just a regular guy, sure, maybe a little moody, but normal. He works an office job, absolutely hates it, but it makes him unbelievable sums of money. No one remembers the last time he had a genuine smile. Until... Avery.

Dolly by waddlefreaks

Dolly and Valentino. Sweet and intense. Crazy and serious. Two opposites. Two hearts. Two lonely souls. Dolly Armstrong is a crazy 19 year old with no experience of friendships or relationships. Isolated her whole life, she's desperate for a friend, someone she can waffle her heart out to, someone she can dress up in matching duck onesies with, someone who can tame her little crackhead self. Valentino Dominguez, a 25 year old lawyer who has no time for anything or anyone. He didn't care for a relationship, he told himself he was content on his own, basking in the silence of his own presence. That's how he liked it, quiet and calm. Until a talkative girl without the ability to be quiet stumbled into his gym. Can these two opposites ever become one?

The Tattoo Artist by SmilesAllAroundxo

They both have secrets. They both have terrible pasts riddled with trauma. They're both opposites of each other. Yet they have one thing in common. Tattoos Delilah has always loved the way they looked, how you could tell a person's story behind what was littered on their skin. She had always had a gift for the arts so what better than to combine her passion with her fascination? Ace has always used the pain from getting tattoos to distract himself from his mental and physical pain. He'd use a tattoo as a distraction as a way to remind himself he was in control. Until he met her.

Olive Branch by HattieKoralDale

Olive wanted something to happen, but she didn't really know what. One of Kit's hands released its grip on her hair, sliding instead to cup her face, his thumb resting on her chin just below her lips. "You've never kissed anyone, have you?" he asked lowly, and his voice sounded different. Gravelly. Darker, almost. She shook her head as much as she could in his grip, which wasn't much, but didn't dare look away from him. "No, but I..." she trailed off, feeling like saying 'but I want to' would make her sound too eager, too desperate. ** Olive is still grappling with the recent loss of her father, while also trying to navigate re-learning how to live after her brother was arrested for murder. Lacking a social life, self-confidence, and any semblance of normalcy, she returns to college. She hopes to keep her head down and stay under the radar, but soon discovers that getting noticed by the group of friends she always sits behind at lunch may not be a bad thing after all. Especially when one of them is tall, tattooed, and keeping secrets... Cover by @fuzziwrites
