english historical psychological romance shortchapters

Phantom Pain is a quiet, brutal meditation on survival, proximity, and the cost of tenderness in a war where there is no clear return. Set in Sudan circa 1896, in a remote medical camp, Drusilda Morwenna-Mire works past exhaustion, cutting, stitching, enduring. She keeps to herself. Keeps her hands moving. But when illness drops her to the ground, a fellow soldier remains by her side. He doesn't ask questions. He doesn't leave. What follows is not a romance, but something quieter. Something more uncertain. In the heat, in the dust, in the space between words, a closeness begins to form. One that resists naming. One that threatens to change her.

Set against the backdrop of a collapsing empire and a war with no clean edges, Phantom Pain traces the shape of connection where it's least expected-and most fragile.All Rights Reserved

A Bloom After Winter by Ms_WinterB

She thought she understood love. Until love became pain. After being hurt more than once, she stopped believing in second chances. Her heart was guarded, her smile no longer reached her eyes and she promised herself never to fall again. Then he came along. He was different. Patient. Kind. Unexpected. But after everything she'd been through, how could she believe in love again? A story about heartbreak, healing, and the quiet power of someone who chooses to stay - even when it's hard.

Anchor by bnnyvolnc

A Ghost/oc fan fiction "I See you, little shadow. And I'm never letting you fade." Nora Ashton knew what she signed up for when she joined Task Force 141 - blood, grit, sacrifice. But nothing could've prepared her for him. Lieutenant Simon "Ghost" Riley: war-hardened, cold, brutal... and the man who unknowingly claimed every shattered piece of her. Their relationship is a secret - forbidden by protocol, sealed by silence, and smothered under the weight of their trauma. He never lets her stay the night, never lets her close, yet he's always there in the shadows, protecting, possessing, watching. But war doesn't just scar bodies - it haunts souls. As missions grow deadlier and their bond deeper, Ghost's obsession becomes as dangerous as the world around them. And Nora? She keeps crawling back, craving the pain if it means feeling his touch. She's the lamb in love with the wolf. And he'd rather destroy the world than lose her.

The Bright Room | 18+ by paleverse

A deconstruction of dark romance set within a psychological thriller, wrapped in an erotic horror story, inside an urban fantasy setting, infused with sci-fi elements, and sprinkled with plenty of nerdiness. I can't guarantee you'll like it, but you definitely haven't read anything like it before. Fair warning - the erotic horror elements are pretty hard. ------ Samantha is ambitious, determined, and strong - a habitual overachiever. But happy? Never. She returns to her hometown and her old best friend, hoping for a weekend of respite, perhaps even a fresh start. Instead, she finds herself thrown into mortal danger, left hovering one breath from death. But survival is only the beginning. Saved by a man whose intentions are anything but clear, Samantha undergoes a procedure far worse than dying, losing herself, layer by agonizing layer. She awakens in the Bright Room reborn - a mystery, both to her captor and herself. To reclaim her life, she must confront impossible questions. Is freedom worth becoming a monster? Can she exact vengeance on the one who saved her? And does she truly want to? For you if you love: Strong, complex women who never back down; moral ambiguity; intense psychological drama; power struggles; trauma explored deeply; twisted relationships that make typical love/hate dynamics look tame. Not for you if: You're young or easily triggered - this story doesn't look away when bad things happen. Note: the cover is temporary, working on a proper one (though similar). ----------- If you are reading this story on any other platform other than Wattpad you are very likely to be at risk of a malware attack.

Blind Promises by Bextra6

A lonely girl from a small town in Oklahoma finds herself in the middle of Seattle, Washington. What she didn't know was fate was about to deal her a hand that she needed to help put all her demons back where they belonged, locked away for good. A war hardened soldier, blinded in an attack while doing a black ops mission, was sitting there with his friend at a movie night of all things when an angel walked into the room. What little vision he did have gave him the notion that an ethereal being had just graced his presence. Little did he know, she'd be stuck with him for the foreseeable future after an unexpected attack. At first she was drawn to his service dog, but then it wasn't long before she couldn't keep her mind off of him. Which was good because he had no plans of ever letting her go. Sight unseen, he'd decided she was the most beautiful thing he'd ever met. He knew he had issues she didn't deserve to have to handle. She knew she had a past that he wouldn't want to deal with. But fate had other plans for the two lovers, a blind promise. Can they work through their differences, their mental health challenges, and the dangerous situations that come their way?

Wings of deceit by Rosalyn_2008

A tale of love not told in the light, but a tale told in the shadows. Of broken chains and bleeding hearts learning how to beat again. Once a slave, always a slave. It didn't matter how much you'd like to deny the fact; it wasn't possible. One couldn't outrun fate and time itself. No one was born free. So why did everyone seek freedom, despite knowing it was unobtainable? The reason was simple: because it hurt to live being chained. Building trust with a person who has known hell itself all their life wasn't bound to be easy or pretty. Hidden beneath the layers can hide the cruelest things. A past a person would want to forever bury. He wore a mask to survive. But what happens when someone sees through it? 'He was supposed to be a savior. Instead, he unearthed every buried scar that I swore no one would ever see.' For a moment he hated having his scars being unveiled. But after a while, he noticed that wasn't the case. ------------ This story explores themes of trauma, emotional healing, and much more sensitive themes. Reader discretion is advised. (If you read all this you can skip the part that says: "Part I: Unearthing buried scars.")

OBSESSION. too personal by _Jane_D_O_E

This could have been a gentle story for quiet autumn evenings. But it shattered against Morphine - a chapter that will not let you stay indifferent. And now, you'll understand why. This is not a story about perfect love. It's about healing through pain, about love that blooms after trauma, and about the fragile line between salvation and obsession. She is a woman rebuilding herself from the ashes. Not strong - simply real. A mother. A fighter. A writer whose words cut deeper than truth itself. She doesn't want to be someone's muse - she only wants to be understood. He is the man the world worships... and fears. A legend. A symbol of an era. But behind the fame, there's a man haunted by his own darkness. Together, they are fire and gasoline - two broken souls learning how to love without losing themselves. Their story isn't a fairytale. It's an age-gap dark romance about redemption, grief, and the courage to love again. With touch. With words. With silence between the lines.

THE WAY WE BURN by parklianamabale

They used to be couple back them but they broke up and Serena never meant to fall in love with someone like Demian-cold, obsessive, and dangerous. But somewhere between the stolen roses, locked doors, and nights spent under foreign skies, she forgot where he ended and where she began. He gave her a cage wrapped in velvet. She gave him a heart that didn't know freedom. When a ghost from her past returns, Serena begins to question everything-her choices, her love, and the man who claims to own her soul. But love like theirs doesn't die quietly. It burns, consumes, and leaves nothing untouched. The Way We Burn is a dark, emotional, and unforgettable tale of love that's both toxic and tender. When obsession looks like romance and control feels like safety-can two broken people find peace in each other, or will they destroy what little of themselves they have left
