"Sometimes love ain't about who you want... it's about who you can't let go."


Laila Monroe thought love was supposed to save her - not break her in half.

At 26, she's a single mom trying to rebuild her life, but peace keeps slipping through her fingers. Between a dangerous ex she's known for five years and a new man who offers everything she's ever wanted, Laila finds herself torn between loyalty, love, and survival.

But when the streets she escaped come knocking again, Laila learns that sometimes peace isn't quiet...
it's choosing yourself, even when your heart still bleeds.

The Secret She Kept by NicoleNewby0

Three years ago, Charlotte Jameson walked away from a love that broke her heart-and took a secret with her: she was pregnant. Now, at a friend's wedding, her past collides with the present when she sees Ethan Hayes again... and he sees her daughter. A daughter with his eyes. Ethan wants answers. Charlotte wants to protect the life she's built. But the truth won't stay buried-and as Ethan discovers the child he never knew he had, both must confront old wounds, shattered trust, and the fragile hope of starting over. Can two people who lost everything find their way back to each other-and build something stronger from the ruins? A heartwarming second-chance romance about forgiveness, healing, and the kind of love that grows deeper when it's tested by time.

After the Storm by JoiSun

Ari thought she had found her forever with Xavier-charming, magnetic... and a master of manipulation. Behind his perfect smile was a storm of narcissism, betrayal, and drama that left Ari questioning her worth. Every broken promise, every moment of blame pushed her closer to losing herself-until one day, she finally had enough. On her journey to healing, Ari crosses paths with Carter-a man who speaks in actions, not empty words. Gentle where Xavier was cruel, steady where Xavier was chaos, Carter shows Ari what real love feels like: safe, patient, and soul-deep. But when the past refuses to stay buried, will Ari's heart have the courage to embrace the love she deserves... or will the storm find its way back in? It is a story of heartbreak, healing, and a second chance at love.

The Ones we Shouldn't Love: ACT I by CLFarron1022

It starts fast-like lightning striking dry earth. What begins as a spark becomes a fire neither of them can contain. It's the kind of love that keeps you up at night, wide-eyed and breathless, not out of fear, but because you can't bear to miss a single moment. It bruises the heart in places no one sees, but never breaks it-never harms it. Just leaves fingerprints, soft and lingering. Leaving would be easier if love ever truly left. But it doesn't. It lingers in the walls, in the sheets, in the silence between words. One heart clings to memory, loving what was. The other leans into the unknown, loving what might be. And somewhere in between, love becomes a duty-an unspoken promise, heavy and unshakable. All she wants is quiet now. Not the silence of loneliness, but the stillness of peace. A place where her heart doesn't have to choose between two kinds of love-only rest in the safety of her own.

My childhood best friend, my first heartbreak, my almost-everything. Now he's back - a divorced neurosurgeon with three daughters and eyes that still see me the way I used to dream of being seen.

Together, they explore the limits of love, memory, and the human spirit, finding beauty in the fleeting and strength in vulnerability. As Lena's condition deteriorates, she begins to rely more on Ethan, despite her fears. In the end, Lena teaches Ethan about the power of living in the present, while Ethan shows Lena that even if memories fade, the impact of love can transcend time.

Anything for a Slice of Lemon (An Original Urban Drama) (2025) by paris_monroe

"I swallowed hard. "Hey." "How you been? You look..." He pulled off his shades, his eyes immediately locking on mine. "Beautiful. My God." Heat crept up my neck. I tangled my fingers on the table, trying to ground myself and my nerves. His gaze dropped to my hands, and instantly, his jaw tightened. "What's that?" he asked, chin jerking toward my engagement ring. I forced a smile, wiggling my ring finger, happily and nervously at the same time. "I'm engaged." He stared at me blankly and coldly. By his facial expression, it was safe to say he wasn't happy for me. "To who?" -- Lemon was just a girl with big dreams and Teal, her first love, was the one who made them feel real. She thought she knew what her future would look like with Teal, until one day he vanished without a word, leaving her heart shattered in pieces. Four years later, Lemon has rebuilt herself. She's engaged, thriving, and ready to begin a new future with a new man. But just as Lemon is recreating her future without Teal, Teal reemerges unexpectedly like a ghost with unfinished business and unspoken secrets from the past. Lemon is placed in a tough spot now that the man that she once loved, and could never forget, is back and ready to risk it all to get the love of his life back, by ANY means. Can Teal reclaim the only heart he's ever wanted, or has Lemon finally closed the door on her first love for good?
