They've both lost someone-but in very different ways.

Tommy Doyle had loved his wife before he lost her. Diane Callahan survived her husband before he was killed.

Tommy and Diane meet in a grief support group in Boston, neither looking for love, only a way to get through the day. They both see something in each other and, before they realize it, that something begins to grow.

Until Tommy discovers the truth he never saw coming. Something he believes he can't overcome.

Shattered, he pushes Diane away, breaking the heart of a woman who was only just learning how to trust again.

By the time he realizes his mistake, it's too late. Now he has to find a way to take back what he lost-what he threw away. Now he will need to prove that love after loss is still worth fighting for.

A story of grief, healing, and second chances.

Shape of my scar by RaeganSalander

'The Shape of my Scar ' is now out on Amazon Unlimited. https://a.co/d/7OJ2ugQ Wattpad only has tasters for the real thing... Some wounds don't bleed-they burn, they bind, they remember. Thane survived the fire once. Not the kind that scars skin, but the kind that brands the soul. He and his brothers-fire-forged, trauma-bonded, and unbreakable-escaped a childhood no one should endure, only to build an empire on secrets and violence. Then came her. She is a whisper from his past wrapped in barbed wire and silence. She's part of the enemy network he's infiltrating-caged, watched and broken. Or so she seems. But nothing about her adds up. Her touch is familiar, her eyes haunted by memories only he should carry. She flinches at all the right moments. Says things she shouldn't know. And when she looks at him, it's like she's asking for help... or warning him to run. In a world where masks are stitched on with fear, Thane starts to wonder if he's the one being played. And as the mission spirals out of control, one question rises like smoke through flame- What if the thing he's been searching for was right there in front of him ,just hidden behind a scar shaped exactly like his own?

And she wasn't the first victim-just the latest version. As Maya pieces together the truth, she discovers betrayal in places she never expected and strength she never knew she had. But when a mysterious new man enters her rebuilding life-and a chilling message appears at her doorstep-Maya realizes her story isn't over. It's only just beginning.

And she doesn't reveal herself easily. Because some wounds don't need apologies - they need truth, power, and reckoning. As the Maheshwaris celebrate, lie, and protect their secrets, the past claws its way back into the present. A past involving betrayal, silence, a sold child, and a savior who changed her fate. What happens when a family realizes the daughter they buried... is the woman who now controls their empire? And what if revenge isn't her goal - but taking back what was always hers? A story of abandonment, survival, silent revenge, and a girl who learned to smile while planning her return. Read to find out: Will the truth destroy them... or will Akshara destroy the truth first?

The Sinister by ficuniverse_00

"Treat my wound" he said, laying down on the cold floor of the maid's room in his mansion. "B...but it's too deep. I can't... you need to go to the hospital, sir" the maid replied, her lips trembling, tears pooling in her eyes. "Do it" he said calmly, no trace of pain on his face as he turned his back toward her, his skin carved with wounds. With shaking hands, she stepped closer, the first-aid kit clutched tightly. Tears slid down her cheeks as she began treating him. He lay there on the floor, careless of dignity, of blood, of the world, his eyes fixed on her. And in them lived something forbidden... something powerful enough to destroy everything. He asked her to treat his wounds. But what he truly wanted... was for her to heal him. And she...she was forbidden to even think of him. Forget healing him. What will happen when a sinister mafia becomes obsessed with his maid? Will a soft, pure-hearted girl fall in love with the man the world fears to even look at? Read the story to find out what destiny has planned for them.

Rowdy & Joy [excerpt; first few chapters] by AudreyHalliwell

Joy thought having their daughter would bring them closer. Instead, motherhood made her invisible. Six months after Emily's birth, Joy's world is sleepless nights, spit-up-stained shirts, and the ache of doing it all alone. Rowdy says he's trying-looking for work, trying to be present-but when his best friend Becca offers him a job, it feels like another door closing. Because Becca has always wanted him. And this time, Joy isn't sure he'll say no. When late-night texts turn into secrets and laughter that used to belong to her, Joy realizes it's not an affair she can prove; it's one she can feel. And when she finally walks away, Rowdy has to decide if the comfort he found in Becca was ever worth losing the family he built with Joy. ⭐The entire first draft is available for subs on Patreon. Otherwise, you can read the full, and polished book when it releases on KU Spring of 2026).⭐

The Heather Wife- Available On KU & Paperback by HopingForTheBest44

Sorcha MacAlasdair, daughter of a proud Highland laird, is like the wild heather that carpets the hills of her homeland-resilient, and impossible to uproot. Betrothed since childhood, her marriage was arranged to secure an alliance and strengthen two powerful clans. She asked for nothing from the union, though once she allowed herself to hope that love might follow. Calum MacRae resented the duty forced upon him. To him, Sorcha was obligation made flesh, a political bargain that stole the future he believed he deserved. His heart remained with Elspeth, the childhood friend who promised him choice instead of sacrifice. Against his father's warning, Calum turned his back on the woman he had taken as wife, meeting her loyalty with scorn. But war does not wait for wounded pride. When Calum rides to battle, he returns to a keep scarred by conflict and to a clan no longer looking to him for strength. The loyalties he once took for granted have shifted, and the bride he dismissed now stands at the heart of Strathloch. Now the man who once sought to break her must prove himself worthy-or risk losing his clan, his legacy, and the only woman strong enough to stand beside him. Content Warnings: Public hangings, period-appropriate violence, emotional infidelity, referenced stillbirth, betrayal/treachery within the clan, emotional cruelty, and themes of loyalty, duty, and power imbalance.

Unfiltered Smile by Adhuni

"A single smile cost me my heart,a second smile gave me back my own. He once told me I was beautiful when my laugh was real-not forced, not tensed, just a pure, belly-aching joy. But then the tide turned. Now, he says my voice irks him and my crooked teeth annoy him. He calls me a vampire, claiming my pale skin and unaligned smile do nothing but drain the joy from the room. It's funny-he thinks I'm the one sucking the life out of him, when he's the one who took the bite out of me.". 🖇️📍All copyright reserves to @Adhuni 2026

APRIL, The Odd Ones by GrovelDoll

April I fight fires for a living-but I've never felt more burned than I did that night. As a forest ranger, I live on the edge of danger and calm. My body is strong, my will even stronger, but that doesn't mean I'm unbreakable. I thought love-real love-would see through the scars I keep hidden beneath my uniform. I thought Ellis saw me. Understood me. But all it took was one careless sentence. One drunken confession echoing through a baby monitor, turning a celebration into a battlefield. He humiliated me in front of everyone-my friends, my chosen sisters, myself. And now I'm standing in the ashes of something I thought would last forever, wondering if I've been lying to myself about what love really looks like. Ellis I was drunk. Stupid. Thoughtless. It was just a conversation. Boys being boys, joking around in a room where I thought no one could hear. But they did. She did. And I said things I can't take back. I don't even recognize the man who said them-because that man humiliated the strongest, most loyal, most incredible woman he's ever known. April is the kind of woman who runs toward danger. Who holds broken branches like they're bones and brings people back from the edge. And I crushed her with words. Now I'd do anything-everything-to take it back. But the damage is done. And I'm not sure I deserve to be the one who tries to fix it.
