CHLOE & JAKE 
* Dual POV *


Chloe has built her life around control, control of her business, her boundaries, her heart.
Jake is the one mistake she never meant to make.

What started as unexpected comfort became something real: something that felt safe, like home. Jake was patient. Chloe was guarded.

Until the lie.

Until the betrayal that shattered everything.

Chloe learns that sometimes the worst kind of heartbreak isn't caused by an enemy

It's caused by the person who swore they'd never hurt you

Take a Chance by authorquinnmiller

Sarah thought she had the perfect marriage-until one devastating moment shattered everything. The man she trusted most has betrayed her in the cruelest way, and the pain of witnessing it with her own eyes leaves her questioning everything she's ever believed about love. Broken and desperate for healing, Sarah returns to her childhood home, where familiar comforts and family support help her begin to piece herself back together. But she doesn't expect to find Eric-the boy she once loved and the one who let her go-still waiting in the background of her past. Eric knows he made the biggest mistake of his life when he lost Sarah. Now he'll do anything to prove that she deserves more than heartbreak... and that second chances aren't just for fairy tales. Will Sarah find the courage to dream again-and can Eric finally give her the love she's always needed?

His Favorite Secret by MaryRose_Author

Chloe Marlow thought she had buried the past for good, the man she once loved, the choices that shattered them, and the truth she swore never to speak aloud. Vienna was supposed to be a fresh start. A quiet life. A safe one. But the past doesn't stay buried forever. Especially not when it wears a tailored suit and walks back into your world like it never left. Liam Ashford was never just a mistake. He was everything, brilliant, ruthless, and dangerously unforgettable. She left without explanation. Now, he's not the same man she remembers. Colder. Sharper. And looking for answers he doesn't even know he's missing. As proximity forces them into uneasy orbit, old chemistry resurfaces with a vengeance, and so do the secrets Chloe has fought to keep buried. But the truth has a heartbeat of its own. And when it finally breaks through, no one will walk away unscathed. Now face to face one last time, the question remains, can they rewrite their ending, or are some betrayals too deep to ever come back from? This Is Their Final Crossroads Fate doesn't offer infinite chances. This is it, their last shot at healing what's been broken... or watching it shatter once and for all.

Yesterday's Whispers by kivey39

Finding out we were going to be parents was supposed to be the happiest time of our lives. Instead, I feel my husband, Ethan, drifting away from me a little more every day. He's late coming home from work, he disappears for long periods of time, he's irritable and closed off, and nothing I say or do seems to reach him. As tensions between us mount, I'm discovering parts of my husband's past that I never knew existed. And when everything comes tumbling down, I'm forced to ask myself: how well do I really know the man I love?

I Don't Want This by addie_reads3

Charlie- From the minute I saw my new boss I wanted to fuck him. I could by the way he looked me up and down that he wanted to fuck me too. Then two months later he made a move. For four bliss filled months he made every sexual fantasy I'd ever had come true. By the time I realised I was falling for him it was too late. I didn't know that he had also realised until he was showing me exactly what he thought of my feelings. He thinks we can just continue as we were but for me there's no coming back from what he's done. Marc- I saw love hearts in her eyes and I freaked out. I took the cowards way out and rather than have a conversation like the 39 year old man I am I decided to show her exactly where we stood. I thought we could just carry on the way we were but Charlie's made it clear that won't be happening. It didn't take me long to realise I'd made a huge mistake. If only I'd realised sooner I also had love hearts in my eyes and I'm living in regret hoping she'll forgive me.
