💌 Second Chance Romance by Serene Marche 

"They were arranged by their parents, but their hearts had already made the deal years ago."

Tim Bradford and Lucy Chen only saw each other as friends. But one summer after high school, everything changed. It ended just as quickly, torn apart by distance, pride, and heartbreak they never truly recovered from.

Years later, their paths cross again. Only this time, it's not by chance-it's by arrangement.

Bound by a childhood pact made by their parents, they're suddenly engaged, promised to one another by tradition. It should feel forced. It should feel strange. But instead... it feels familiar.

Because beneath all the silence, the years, and the pain-they never stopped being each other's always.

Now sharing a home, a future, and a history full of unresolved feelings, Lucy and Tim must navigate a new beginning wrapped in old emotions. Can a love they thought was lost find its way back-this time, not by accident... but by choice?All Rights Reserved

New in town - Chenford by amboninjo

Big city model Lucy has had enough of flashing cameras, fake smiles, and a life that doesn't feel like hers anymore. So she escapes to a quiet little town, buys a fixer-upper, and vows to start fresh. The only problem? Her "charming" new house is one strong breeze away from falling apart. Enter Tim-a grumpy, old-school contractor who'd rather be working with his hands than dealing with a big-city runaway who has no idea which end of a hammer to hold. He's well-loved around town, has a knack for fixing just about anything (including the occasional car in his garage), and absolutely did not sign up to have his peaceful life turned upside down by a glamorous stranger. But as sparks fly between arguments and drywall, Lucy and Tim might just discover that love can show up where you least expect it... even on a construction site.

Between the Lines by Nova120211

In the line of duty, they're partners. Off duty, they're something more-something deeper. Tim Bradford and Lucy Chen have always walked a fine line between tension and tenderness, but when an interview gone sideways begins unraveling secrets, everything shifts. A hidden relationship, a brutal breakup, a violent threat -and the return of a familiar monster-throws them into a whirlwind of emotion, action, and heartbreak. As Lucy faces new wounds and haunting reminders of what she's survived, Tim is forced to confront the one fear he can't outrun: losing her. When safety is no longer guaranteed, love becomes the only place left to hide. But some lines, once crossed, can never be uncrossed. From stolen glances to cuffed confessions, playful banter to full-blown breakdowns, this is a story of trust rebuilt, love rediscovered, and two hearts learning what it truly means to be all in.
