Lilah Monroe has always been the golden child-the responsible one, the first daughter, the one who never strays too far from the path set for her. With a carefully mapped-out future and a heart full of quiet doubts, she returns to her small hometown to help her sister with her babyshower and finalize a wedding she's no longer sure about. But she ends up colliding with the one person she always heard about but never  got the chance to meet. Theo Harper.

Theo is everything she didn't plan on. Messy history, reckless charm and a calm kind of faith that rattles her structure. What begins as reluctant proximity soon unravels secrets, second chances, and something stronger than either expected.

As Lilah begins to loosen the grip on who she thought she had to be, she's faced with the hardest question of all-what if the life you always planned isn't the one you're meant to live?

A heartwarming, layered romance about love, family, and the beautiful chaos of rewriting your own story.

Tempted Heart | Our Heart's 1 by Fayehasf
82 parts Complete Mature
Lena Rose has always been the perfect daughter. Sharp, graceful, obedient-raised in a world where expectations are everything and emotions are a luxury she can't afford. But beneath the surface of flawless grades and carefully arranged smiles, Lena is unraveling. Torn between who she is and who she's supposed to be, she finds herself caught in a quiet war - between the boy her heart can't forget and the future her family demands. Evander Gray is the boy with a past no one dares to ask about-quiet eyes that see too much, hands that carry more grief than they should, and a heart he's learned to hide behind half-smiles and guarded silences. The boy everybody wants but knows nothing about the real him-of the life he's lived. He never meant to fall for her. Not her-not the girl who was just supposed to be his tutor. But some connections don't ask for permission. Some hearts break quietly. Others burn their way back to life. She finds herself trapped in lies, hate, desire, and trapped in a life that doesn't feel like hers. But the past has a way of returning. As truths unravel - about her family, her future, and the boy she once knew - Lena must choose between duty and desire, between the life she was given and the one she wants to claim. Can you really let go of the person who taught you how to breathe? "You're so beautiful, I don't think I'll ever get over you."
