bittersweet fiction heartbreak historicalromance romance slowburn timetravel

Adelaide Monroe thought heartbreak would be the end of her story.
It turns out, it's only the beginning.

When her longtime boyfriend ends things just before graduation, Adelaide retreats to her grandmother's house-an old place filled with creaking floors, family secrets, and a silver locket .
But when grief cracks her open, the locket listens.

One night, she falls asleep clutching it... and wakes 
 in the 1700s. There, she meets Nathaniel Hale-charming, gentle, and far too kind for a dream. Yet the more real he feels, the less certain Adelaide is that she's dreaming at all.

Each time the locket opens, it pulls her somewhere new-and each era brings another boy, another chance, another kind of love.
But every return home leaves her a little more haunted by what she's left behind-and the growing realization that the locket isn't just showing her history... it's choosing her path.

Caught between past and present, love and loss, Adelaide must decide how much of her heart she's willing to leave across time-and which moment, and which man, she belongs to.All Rights Reserved

A Journey Through Time by spark_your_curiosity

What if you woke up one morning... and everything around you belonged to another century? One moment, I was moving through my mundane routine. The next, a mysterious silver box - and a cryptic warning - hurled me through time. All I ever wanted was a simple life: quiet, steady, normal. Instead, I've landed in a world where I hold no power, know no one, and understand nothing about the rules shaping every breath I take. To survive, I have to learn the laws of a world determined to silence me - and find a way home before it's too late, especially with a war on the horizon. But how do you change the course of history when you barely understand how it began? And just when I think things can't get any more complicated, a pair of ocean-blue eyes threatens to rewrite everything I thought I wanted. Can I return to the life I lost? Or will the past - and the man I was never meant to meet - change my future forever? Author's Note: For readers who crave time-travel romance, historical drama, and slow-burn love that keeps you up way past midnight - welcome. You're in the right place.

His Secret by pinkwrites

Amira Hart was never meant to be part of the story. Not the public one, anyway. But behind every polished legacy is the girl no one talks about-the one who was loved in secret, then left in silence. For two years, Amira and Brooks Whitmore IV lived in that silence. He was the President's son, raised for cameras and campaign trails. She was the woman he chose when no one was watching. Their worlds were never meant to meet. The cards were stacked long before they kissed in the dark. Now, two years later, a wedding invitation arrives. His name is on it. So is hers. Told in fragments and flashbacks, His Secret is a quiet storm of a love story-about memory, erasure, and the women history tries to forget.

The Echo of Us by Jolataaa

In the city that never sleeps, she was the one thing that made him pause. Damien Blackwell has everything: money, power, and control. But behind the polished veneer and the cold steel of his empire, he's haunted by secrets he's never dared to share. Rory Bellamy has always been the one in the background, fixing other people's stories and never daring to write her own. Her world is quiet, measured in words on a page and late-night edits at a corner café. Until him. When their worlds collide, neither of them is ready for the slow, consuming burn that begins to smolder between them. In the hushed corners of the midnight café and stolen glances across rain-soaked city streets, a fragile trust begins to form, built on whispered fears and the simple touch of a hand that says, I see you. But Damien's world is full of the shadow of a past that wants to claim him and a future he's not sure he deserves. And Rory's heart has been broken too many times to trust that a man like him could ever be her safe place. As the nights grow longer and the tension crackles with every lingering touch, they'll have to decide: Can you surrender to love when you've spent your whole life learning how to stand alone? Can you be soft with someone when the world has always told you to be hard? This is their story. A slow-burn romance that dares to believe that even the most guarded hearts can learn to open...and that sometimes, the gentlest love can be the most powerful of all.

The Final Hearing by Shweta545

Evelyn Hart believed in fairytales - until the day she was left at the altar. Once a bright, hopeful law student, Evelyn's world crumbled when Nathaniel Blackwell - a powerful business heir she was arranged to marry - walked out on their wedding without a word. The scandal destroyed her family's name, shattered her dreams, and left her to bear the brunt of public humiliation. In a society that blamed her for everything, Evelyn did the only thing she could: she rose from the ashes. Years later, she's one of the most feared and respected lawyers in the country - until one case breaks her resolve and she disappears from the courtroom without warning. But fate has a cruel sense of irony. When Nathaniel's own sister is devastated by a similar betrayal and takes her life, he is desperate for justice. No lawyer is willing to fight for a case everyone believes is already lost - except for the one woman he wronged the most. Evelyn. Silent. Unforgiving. Brilliant. As she reluctantly steps back into the courtroom, the past simmers between them. Nathaniel is haunted by guilt and drawn to the woman he abandoned. Evelyn speaks only when required, avoids the past, and focuses on justice - but her silence screams louder than words. What begins as a legal battle turns into an emotional reckoning. Regret. Redemption. And a slow-burn connection that neither of them expected. Because sometimes, the most powerful verdicts aren't spoken in court - they're written in the heart.

Velvet Heat by princessashlene

In the sultry heart of Miami, where the nights are long and secrets burn hotter than the sun, Eliza Monroe isn't looking for love-just a little distraction from the ghosts she's tried to bury. Beautiful, bold, and emotionally guarded, Eliza thrives on control... until she meets Stephano Cross. Stephano is everything she shouldn't want-dangerously charming, emotionally unavailable, and hiding shadows behind his storm-gray eyes. One smoldering night at a rooftop bar changes everything. The attraction is instant. The chemistry? Explosive. What starts as a no-strings encounter quickly spirals into something neither of them expected. Between stolen touches, breathless nights, and secrets that unravel with every kiss, Eliza and Stephano find themselves locked in a game of desire they might not survive without heartbreak. But when passion collides with pasts they've tried to forget, will lust be enough to hold them together-or will the heat between them burn everything down?

Bound By The Moon: The Eternal Bond by Junehappy7

Julia Rose, an ordinary human girl, never expected to set foot in Full Moon College, an elite school built for wolves. Her acceptance was supposed to be a rare opportunity... instead, it throws her into a world of power plays, prejudice, and predators. Among them is Aiden, a cocky Beta's brother who seems too interested in Julia's defiance. But it's Alpha Valen-cold, commanding, and unknowingly desperate to find his mate-who holds her fate. For four years, Valen has searched without success. What he doesn't know? The human girl beneath his nose is the one he's been waiting for. As tensions between species rise, Julia must confront a dangerous truth: her destiny is tied not just to Valen, but to secrets buried deep in werewolf history. She didn't choose this life. But now, the future of both worlds may depend on her. Will she rise... or break beneath the weight of the Alpha's world?
