broken emotional family firefighter healing heartwarming love nanny ptsd romance secondchancelove singledad trauma

Sometimes the safest place... is in the arms of someone just as broken.

After tragedy leaves firefighter Jesse Locke raising his daughter alone, he builds a life of routine and quiet heartbreak - until a fiercely gentle nanny named Nina steps through the door. Scarred by her own past and desperate for a fresh start, Nina finds herself forming an unexpected bond with little Amelia... and a slow-burning connection with Jesse that neither of them can ignore. But healing doesn't come easy. 

As ghosts of past loves and buried fears resurface, Jesse and Nina must choose: keep surviving in silence or fight for the kind of love that makes a family whole.

Raw, romantic, and redemptive.
This is a story of second chances, the weight of grief, the courage to be vulnerable... and the beautiful, messy journey toward finding home.Tutti i diritti riservati

Way Down I'll Go di raquellensanchez

Jo's brothers are his world. He's spent his entire life sacrificing everything to give them the life he's never had. Having battled through a horrific childhood, his every breath is for the benefit of his brothers, who gave him a reason to live through those years. It is an act of selflessness that throws him in the path of a woman who actually sees him, not just his scars. Rachel not only recognizes his worth, but is willing to step into his life and share his experiences, no matter how difficult. Despite their mutual attraction, the past and present seem determined to keep them apart. Jo faces another battle: this time against prejudice, past threats, and most powerful of all, the demons inside his head.

Brave Enough to Stay -Complete- di jette-writer

After being struck by lightning, Evan Buckley survived - but he didn't feel alive. His world was unraveling, his first serious relationship ended, and nothing seemed to make sense anymore... until a chance encounter in a grocery store changed everything. A little girl in meltdown. A foster mom on the verge of giving up. Six homes in eight months. "Nobody wants the broken ones," she whispered. But Buck knew what it was like to feel broken. And he wasn't going to let her go. What began with a gallon of milk turned into a fight for something more - for family, for healing, for love. As Buck takes on the role of a foster father, he finds himself slowly piecing together not just a life for Ava, but a home for himself... one where Eddie Diaz is always nearby, always steady, always watching. Because sometimes love doesn't hit all at once. Sometimes, it's quiet. Sometimes, it's just brave enough to stay. *Based on a Reddit Post*

He was supposed to be the finish line, the one she'd always come back to, but the universe always finds a way of turning your life upside down. After a devastating accident takes him away, Jackie is left grasping for a lifeline, trapped in a world filled with memories she can't recover.

But love doesn't end with goodbye, or with death. It just changes shape. ***** BENNINGTON COLLEGE #1.5 © 2025 caterina george // all rights reserved
