After a decade climbing the corporate ladder in Manhattan, Emma Montgomery thought she had it all. Until she walked in on her fiancé with a colleague... and inherited her grandmother's struggling seaside café in the same week. 

Back in the sleepy coastal town of Willow Bay, Emma's plan is simple: fix up Hazel's Coffee Haven, sell it, and return to her "real life."
But nothing about Willow Bay, or Ethan Walker, the rugged local carpenter with a guarded heart, is simple. 

He builds walls. 
She was born to tear them down. 

As sawdust flies and tempers spark, Claire begins to uncover more than just her grandmother's past. Between the scent of coffee and the salt of the sea, she rediscovers what it means to belong... and what it takes to love again. 

But when old wounds resurface and pride stands in the way, Claire and Ethan must decide whether to walk away, or risk it all for a love brewed slow and strong.All Rights Reserved

Hazy (wlw) by delusionalxlover

Emma just wants to make it through senior year and get out. She's tired of the drama, the mistakes, and the weight of everything she hasn't said. College is her chance to start over-no more tension with Oliver, no more cold stares from Violet, the cousin she's let down, and no more confusing feelings about Anna, the guarded girl she never expected to care about so much. Now, as the end of high school looms closer, Emma has to decide: run or finally let herself feel everything she's been avoiding. TW: strong language, abusive parents, sad thoughts (depression)

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 ASSISTANT EFFECT ✨ by katcoon

Genre: Lesbian Romance | CEO x Assistant | Slow Burn | Office Tension l 9 years Age Gap She runs an empire with ice in her veins. Her new assistant runs on caffeine, chaos, and far too much heart. What happens when sunshine starts to melt steel? Margot Blake is everything the headlines say: cold, brilliant, untouchable. The youngest CEO in luxury branding history, she built Blake & Co. from sheer ambition - and froze out anything resembling a personal life along the way. Enter Chloe Quinn - bright, bubbly, and dangerously persistent. She's not the type of assistant Margot usually hires... or keeps. But something about Chloe's chaotic charm, awkward honesty, and maddening optimism starts to crack the ice Margot has spent years perfecting. They're opposites in every way. One has walls higher than the skyline; the other believes no heart is too frozen to warm. But in a world of power plays, secrets, and boardroom battles, falling for your assistant isn't just reckless - it could ruin everything. Slow burn. High tension. Sharp suits. Stolen glances. And a love neither of them saw coming.

Heartbreak Express by rayneaissance

She ran from her wedding the day she found out the groom was expecting a baby with someone else. Now, with a broken heart and no suitcase, she's starting over in London... Two men, one new life and a second chance she never saw coming. Isabella Solène Hart was supposed to be a bride. Instead, she became a woman who walked away from betrayal, from shame, from the version of love that left her undone. London offers her nothing but silence and strangers and that's exactly what she needs until it starts to offer more. A job at a luxury PR firm, a flat that slowly becomes a home, a local café with warm coffee and warmer smiles, a neighbour with a cat named Rufus and a shopkeeper named Robert, gruff, loyal, quietly becoming the father figure she never had. But nothing shakes her more than the two men who begin to orbit her new life. Skylar, the charming café owner with kind eyes, he makes her laugh again, makes her feel again, but when it matters most... he stays silent. And Sebastian, the enigmatic CEO with ice-blue eyes and power in every breath. He shouldn't be looking at her the way he does, he shouldn't know who she is, but he does and what begins as a spark quickly threatens to set fire to the walls she's still rebuilding. Now Bella must navigate more than just a second chance, she must decide what kind of love she's ready for and whether she can open her heart again without losing herself in the process. It's a story of loss, of starting over, and the two men who force her to face what love really means. Of heartbreak turned healing, of strangers turned family. It's not just about falling in love, it's about who you become when your world shatters... and you choose to rise anyway.

The Echo of You. by penninghearts

After a life marked by loss and betrayal, Sloane Thorne has perfected one thing: building walls. She expects nothing from the world and deserves even less. Her only solace is her grandmother, whose fading health is a constant reminder that everyone leaves eventually. Emmett fights his own battles under a facade of relentless optimism. Working for "The Echo Line," a service that listens to strangers unburden their hearts, he finds beauty in the mundane and strength in empathy. He needs the money, but he lives for the connection. A misdialed number throws them together. Her furious, misplaced tirade is met not with anger, but with calm understanding and a laugh that echoes in her silent world long after the call ends. He breaks all the rules to reach out again. She, against her every instinct, answers. This is the story of the voice on the other end of the line. This is the story of how light meets dark, and the breathtaking shades of dawn they create together. TheEchoOfYou / Slow Burn Romance · Emotional · Healing

Some love stories start with a spark. This one started with a note... and a misunderstanding. Every Saturday, Emma visits the cozy café on Willow Street-a haven of soft jazz, warm lattes, and quiet daydreams. It's her escape from the noise of the world... and the place where he always sits. Liam. Mysterious, focused, and completely unaware of the shy baker who watches him from across the room. One day, Emma does something uncharacteristically brave: she writes him a note. Just a few words tucked into a book he's been reading. A simple invitation that could change everything. But when Liam doesn't respond the way she expects, Emma's heart sinks-until a chance encounter weeks later uncovers a mistake, a heartfelt confession, and the beginning of something neither of them saw coming. A slow-burn romance filled with missed chances, soft glances, and the kind of love that quietly grows in the corners of everyday life. For fans of cozy settings, hopeful hearts, and stories that feel like a warm cup of coffee on a rainy morning.
