Title : They Deserved Better
Genre: Romance, Trauma, School Life, Healing, Friendship
Blurb / Description:
"Briony Prescott has always believed she wasn't enough. Childhood harassment, a mother's betrayal, and the quiet weight of a fractured home taught her one thing-people deserve better than her. So she leaves before anyone can leave her.
But fate has its own way of circling back. From her ex-boyfriend scarred by his father's infidelity, to the kind boy at her new school who made her feel safe, and finally the classmate she never noticed until destiny forced their paths together-three boys carry her past, her present, and perhaps her future.
When they all return to her life, Briony must face her deepest wound: not who she loves, but whether she can believe she deserves love at all."

Penalty Kill [NY Hockey #1]
[actively editing] With her nose in books and his brawn getting him nowhere on or off the ice, they find themselves drawn together, sharing their baggage and learning what it might mean for each of them to love again. Jake Bryers is no stranger to the pressures of being a professional hockey player. It's something that he's dealt with consistently for the past fifteen years. Throughout his career, he's experienced it all-the electric thrill of winning divisions and conference titles, and even making it to the Stanley Cup Finals on more than one occasion. His dream was always to skate the cup at least once, but as he enters the late stage of his long, tumultuous career, he finds himself struggling to perform like he once had as a younger, inspired player. Harper Clark has been proficient at one thing throughout her life-constantly moving forward without really going anywhere. After having moved to the Big Apple to pursue a better life outside of the dangerous one she found herself leading in the Midwest, she finds herself stagnating after getting her degree from Columbia. She quietly enjoys her job at the public library, treading water while the undeniable feeling of discontent grows stronger within her. It's nothing short of fate when Jake and Harper happen to cross paths at the library, and though their lives couldn't be any more different, they find themselves inexplicably drawn to one another as they try to navigate mending each other's wounded hearts.Lengkap

"Don't be sorry, just work on getting better," He said, rubbing calming circles on my back while I cried into his chest.

Bruiseprint
A story of love, pain, and second chances. In a world where friendships crumble and kisses taste of betrayal, some wounds cut deeper than skin. A lover's touch can heal-or destroy.

Different, yet the same-bound by the bruises and scars of their choices, their pasts, their mistakes. Some wounds break, some redeem... but in the end, love always leaves its mark. *** ⚠️ Disclaimer: Sensitive Content This story explores themes of sexual abuse, human trafficking, grooming, emotional trauma, domestic violence, and morally complex relationships.
