She wasn't looking for a miracle. Just a moment.

Evelyn "Eve" Hart has built a quiet life from the pieces of a fractured childhood, one word at a time. As a reporter for the Las Vegas Times, she spends her days telling other people's stories, never daring to imagine she'd be part of one worth telling.

Until she's sent to cover Elvis Presley's winter residency at the Las Vegas Hilton.

And until the King of Rock and Roll - grieving, exhausted, and freshly divorced - looks out into the crowd and finds her.

What begins as a glance in a sea of strangers becomes something unspoken. Something electric. Something neither of them expected.

She was just another face.
He was the last person she ever thought would see her.
But some strangers are meant to collide.

Stranger in the Crowd is a slow-burn, soul-stirring fan fiction set against the glitz and ache of 1974 Las Vegas...where fame hides heartbreak, music saves lives, and love can find you when you least expect it.

She always thought angels lived in Heaven - until the night he saw her.All Rights Reserved

Brave Enough To Love Again by CalliopeBlythe

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"

Heartbreak Express by rayneaissance

🏆 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐲𝐬 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 | She ran from her wedding the day she found out the groom was expecting a baby with someone else. Now, with a broken heart and no suitcase, she's starting over in London... Two men, one new life and a second chance she never saw coming. Isabella Solène Hart was supposed to be a bride. Instead, she became a woman who walked away from betrayal, from shame, from the version of love that left her undone. London offers her nothing but silence and strangers and that's exactly what she needs until it starts to offer more. A job at a luxury PR firm, a flat that slowly becomes a home, a local café with warm coffee and warmer smiles, a neighbour with a cat named Rufus and a shopkeeper named Robert, gruff, loyal, quietly becoming the father figure she never had. But nothing shakes her more than the two men who begin to orbit her new life. Skylar, the charming café owner with kind eyes, he makes her laugh again, makes her feel again, but when it matters most... he stays silent. And Sebastian, the enigmatic CEO with ice-blue eyes and power in every breath. He shouldn't be looking at her the way he does, he shouldn't know who she is, but he does and what begins as a spark quickly threatens to set fire to the walls she's still rebuilding. Now Bella must navigate more than just a second chance, she must decide what kind of love she's ready for and whether she can open her heart again without losing herself in the process. It's a story of loss, of starting over, and the two men who force her to face what love really means. Of heartbreak turned healing, of strangers turned family. It's not just about falling in love, it's about who you become when your world shatters... and you choose to rise anyway.
