Ava Hart had always been the kind of girl who believed in forever. She believed in holding hands through seasons and growing old with laughter lines. But forever shattered in a single afternoon.
She came home early, hoping to surprise Mason-her boyfriend of six years-with takeout from the Thai place he loved. Instead, she found him with someone else, wrapped in sheets that were supposed to be theirs. No words, no excuses. Just betrayal hanging thick in the air.
Ava didn't cry-not until her plane touched down in Bali two days later. Her family owned a small resort on the quieter side of Ubud. It was her childhood haven, a place full of mango trees, stone pathways, and the scent of sea breeze and incense. If her heart was going to break anywhere, it might as well be there. In the midst of the chaos, she goes to the quiet and there she meets a cute, gentle and loving bartender - Leo.

I Can't Admit I Love You
LUCAS I sat next to her on the couch and brushed her hair from her face. She was all sweaty. " Lucas ..?" She hummed. " I'm here.." " I'm sorry, I'm an embarrassment..." I chuckled. "No you're fine you just drank too much. We were trying to sober you up, then we found you at the bar drinking shots!" It was really a funny sight as I recalled. " Lucas ?" Her eyes pried open again and she stared at me. "Yeah?" " Will you stay with me tonight?" SKYLAR He hugged me again. I could never get enough of his hugs, and still I wanted more. I wanted more than that with him. It hurt so much knowing that it could never be so. "Don't be sorry, I'm just happy I got to you in time." Lucas' voice was so gentle, so sweet and sincere. If I didn't pull away from him I would start to cry again. I held my breath, my hand pressed a little more on his back. As I did this though I felt him tense up from my touch. "S-sorry," I stammer and attempted to pull away, but he brought me back into his chest. "Don't." his voice was firm.

Brave Enough To Love Again
I stood with my back to her, shielding her, and my murderous eyes stared down at the poor excuse of a man, promising unimaginable pain if he dared to move or even flinch. The enormity of control it took me to suppress the impulse to eradicate the piece of scum, who dared to even think about laying a hand on a woman, was inconceivable. My whole body was trembling with rage. The guy was intimidated by the fury in my eyes and stumbled back to his intoxicated friends who were too dazed to understand the situation. I was disappointed and relieved at the same time that the chaos didn't end in a fist fight. When I turned around to console her, she was gone. And as I looked around, I saw her back just leaving the bar through the entrance. I hurried out to follow her. She walked ahead of me aimlessly and disoriented like a wounded animal that had just escaped the claws of death. My heart ached for her. I found a kindred soul in her. She evidently had been wounded in the past. Just like me. But in an even worse way than I had been hurt, and it angered me, that someone had dared to harm her. *** Eden Marie Simmons is still recovering after escaping an abusive relationship when she meets Keane, the broody and enigmatic neighbor who is shrouded in mystery. Both are still being haunted by their past and are not ready for a new commitment, but when fate repeatedly puts them in each other's paths, they can't deny their attraction for each other. Life challenges them both with secrets, lies, and broken trusts, and confronts them with their pasts. They both must learn to be brave enough to love again. *** Story is previously called "Paradise Lies"Complete
Worth the Risk
August & Colin | WRU series | book 1 We take risks. We make mistakes. We lie. We love. We hurt. We lose total control. I took a risk. I paid the price. I made a mistake. I felt the guilt. I lied. I lie. I loved. I try not to. I hurt. I still do. I lost control. I'm losing again. I try to stick to my plan, I try to follow my rules, I try to silence my heart, I try to keep control of the domino stones that represent my life. But one domino fell and the rest just followed. *** "We shouldn't do this," he whispers against my lips. I should applaud him for having the strength to act on that thought because I haven't been able to. At one point I wanted to, but his touches made the impulse to stop vanish. Now, the only thing I want to act on is the longing inside my chest as I think about demolishing the space between us. "Do you want to stop?" I can feel his frown against my forehead. He nudges my nose before placing a featherlight kiss on my mouth. His hands slide over my jawline, his thumbs slowly caressing my cheeks. He gives me another kiss. Slow and deliberately, as if he's still debating the answer to my question as he slicks his tongue over mine. He softly sucks on my bottom lip, dragging it with him when he pulls away. "I can't," he confesses before he presses his lips back on mine. *** All Rights Reserved (Do not copy this story, thank you :))Complete

"Carry on and I'll bite it," I shove him with my shoulder. He looks at me with surprise in his eyes as if I've just said something taboo. "What?" My eyes widen as I recall what I just said, did I just? "Yeah, never thought I'd hear something like that slip out of your mouth!" "You'll be surprised what I can slip in," I immediately cover my mouth with my hand.

Love We Never Said
They were never meant to fall in love. Ava White and Kevin Ashton were born into two empires at war-rivals in business, heirs to legacies built on competition and silence. In college, they were just Kevin and Ava-two hearts laughing in shared secrets, two souls who fit too easily. But timing was cruel. And love doesn't always arrive when you're free to choose it. Kevin fell for Stella Ross-sunshine, gentle love, soft promises. And Ava hid her feelings behind smiles, jokes, pink dresses, and the name she whispered for him only in her diary: Teddy. One drunken night after graduation changed everything. One wedding shattered what was left. And one accident destroyed the world they thought was safe. Now grief ties them closer than love ever did. Ava is the only one who can pull Kevin out of the darkness. Kevin is the only one who sees the pain Ava tries to bury. They heal each other slowly-quiet mornings, shared breaths, wounds stitched with laughter and tears. But the world still sees them as enemies. And the media is already asking questions. How long can two broken hearts hide the one thing they never stopped feeling? This is not a love story that begins with falling. It begins with waiting, breaking, returning- and finally, choosing.
