Bound By Fire by jak_20_21_

Arranged marriage, family secrets, trauma and healing, protection, obsession, a dangerous past. And a love neither of them saw coming. When Mira Carter agrees to an arranged marriage with a man she's never met, it's not for love-it's for survival. Her parents promise she can adopt her younger sister, Leila, if she goes through with the match. But what they don't tell her is who she's marrying: Liam Hayes, the emotionally guarded older brother of her obsessive, abusive ex. Liam carries scars of his own-abandoned by his father, raised in silence, and never one to show his heart. But from the moment he sees Mira, bruised by the past yet unbroken, something in him shifts. She's not a stranger-she's the one woman his brother couldn't destroy. As the wedding approaches, Mira and Liam find themselves drawn together in ways neither expected. But shadows don't vanish easily. Kieran, her ex, isn't done with her. He's watching. Stalking. Manipulating those closest to her-including her own brother. And this time, he's more dangerous than ever. In a story filled with slow-burn tension, emotional healing, and fierce devotion, Bound by Fire explores what it means to choose love over fear, and to build a family from the ashes of the one that tried to break you.

To Be Understood by _authornova

She was left at the altar. He stopped believing in love the day the war left its mark on his face. Ada never asked for a fairytale. She just wanted respect. But after being humiliated on her wedding day in front of the entire town, even that felt like too much to hope for. Duke Albert never cared for high society, and society never cared for him especially after the war turned him from a decorated soldier into a scarred recluse. With no interest in love, and even less in being paraded like a noble prize, he prefers a life of silence, structure, and solitude. But fate doesn't always ask. When Albert's grandmother arranges a marriage between him and the woman no one else dared to claim, neither expects anything more than polite tolerance. Yet as quiet understanding grows between them, so does something neither of them believe in anymore*hope.* A slow-burn historical romance about second chances, quiet strength, and love that blooms not from perfection, but from shared scars

When We Were Still... Now We're Not (Friendship #3) by AJKoyawrites

Some stories begin quietly... and end with a bang. Mira and Zach's love was a secret stitched into the past-memories that lingered, words left unsaid, and a bond neither expected to face again. Years later, fate reunites them at Mira's wedding. But what was once hidden is now impossible to ignore. Old feelings clash with new realities, and every choice could change everything. As vows are about to be exchanged, Mira must confront the truth of her heart-and decide if the life she planned is the one she really wants. Because sometimes, the right person comes back into your life when you least expect it. And sometimes, the hardest choice is letting go... or holding on. The Friendship Series ends here, with love, closure, and a final, unforgettable decision.

Beneath His Hands by LittleMapleBear

She's just turned eighteen-restless, curious, and far too aware of the man who's always been in the background of her life. He's her father's best friend-recently divorced, emotionally bruised, and old enough to know better. At a summer backyard barbecue, one accidental touch changes everything. A spark. A look. A moment neither of them can shake. What begins as tension builds into something dangerous-something they're both too scared to name. Because some lines should never be crossed. But some desires don't care. A slow-burn, age-gap romance wrapped in heat, heartache, and the ache of forbidden want.

Neither of them reached out. Neither of them moved on. But some stories don't end just because they paused. Now, between wedding chaos, champagne secrets, and old friends colliding, Janice and Tom must decide if they were always meant to be more than a missed moment.

Fate drew lines where they least expected: family rivalries, forbidden promises, choices between love and hate. Some would find love where they never looked, others would fight to hold on to what was slipping away. And some? It will be uncover soon... In the end, will they fight for their hearts... or let life choose for them?
