Broken Hearts (Fractured Hearts #1) by heathervaleriee

Brielle Sage: Every beat of my heart is a constant reminder of fragility and uncertainty. I never know if I have enough time to say what I truly feel, to live without hesitation. Elias is my world, but how do you give your heart to someone when you're terrified it might stop before they have the chance of even hold it? Loving him is effortless, but confessing it feels impossible. So, I let myself have these moments of laughing at his ridiculous jokes, feeling safe in his presence, holding onto the quiet spaces where I can pretend that forever is ours. Even if it never can. Elias Gray: Brielle is my best friend. My anchor. My everything. She's sunshine even when she's scared, even when the weight of the unknown presses against her. I see the way she hides her fears, the way she tries to live in the present without acknowledging how fragile her future might be. And I want more than anything to protect her, to keep her safe and to fix what I know I can't fix. But there's something else. A feeling I can't name, something deeper than friendship, something I'm afraid to say aloud. Because what if I realize I love her, only to lose her?

But their love isn't just complicated-it's forbidden. A curse binds them, a force stronger than time itself.

With danger closing in and fate pulling them in opposite directions, Aurora and Elias must fight for a love that was never meant to exist. But can love really defy destiny?

Cold Him Bright Her by missv_fantasy

She loved him for as long as she could remember. Her best friend's older brother. Off-limits. Untouchable. And completely unaware. Every time she got close, he pushed her away- cold words, distant eyes, like she was nothing at all. Now she's in a new city, chasing fashion, chasing freedom. Trying-really trying- to forget him. But he's still here. Still cold. Still the only boy who makes her heart ache. He told himself she meant nothing. Too young. Too close. Too dangerous. But now she's older- and impossible to ignore. She's done chasing. He's done pretending. And neither of them is ready for what comes next. Because sometimes the person you tried hardest to push away... Is the only one your heart has been waiting for.

Crossroads Of The Heart by Smatz13

She woke up in a hospital bed, disoriented and aching, only to be hit with the devastating news-she had been in a terrible accident... and lost the last five years of her memory. The faces around her felt unfamiliar, except for two: her father... and Kai, the man her heart still called home. But reality didn't match her memories. Because everyone insisted she wasn't with Kai anymore. In fact, she was engaged-to someone else. A calm, steady man named Evan, who stayed by her side through the accident... and after. He claimed to love her. And he was patient-painfully patient-even offering to help her track down Kai, the man she swore was still her forever. As she tried to piece her life back together, torn between the ghost of her past and the man claiming her future, she began to uncover a truth deeper-and darker-than she ever expiected. Because finding Kai again wasn't the miracle she thought it would be. And remembering who she once was... might destroy who she's become.

THE WHISPERS WITHIN by RayshellSharpe

On the eve of her eighteenth birthday, Princess Sage dreams of a dark figure whose touch both terrifies and tempts her. When she wakes, the whispers remain - voices of shadows calling her name, voices she cannot escape. Born heir to a kingdom of mages, wolves, and warriors, Sage alone carries no power. Or so she believes. Until assassins come for her life... and the rune seared into her palm erupts with violet flame and shadow, binding her to the one man she is forbidden to want. Elias - the vampire prince of her kingdom's sworn enemy. Dangerous. Obsessive. Reverent. He claims her as his by fate, by blood, by a bond older than her crown. Every stolen glance, every almost-bite, drags her closer to surrender. But her mother, the Queen, demands obedience. Her brother, the warrior, vows to kill Elias before he takes her. And Prince Darius of Caelum - cruel, arrogant, and hungry for power - seeks to claim Sage for himself, even if it sparks war. Torn between crown and shadow, duty and desire, Sage must decide: Will she fight the bond that consumes her... or let the whispers within claim her soul? Lust. Blood. Betrayal. The Vampire Empress series begins here.
