What would you give to be able to erase your history, to start your life over with a clean slate?  For some, this is the stuff of dreams, but for one woman that reality is laced with fear and uncertainty.  Building a new life becomes infinitely harder as events from her past start to weave themselves into the present.  In a journey that will turn her whole world upside down for a second time, uncovering the truth poses more questions than it gives answers, as she fights to fully understand what happened.  Meanwhile, strength & support comes from unexpected places as she fights to remember.

STILL YOURS by _CanYouGuess_

Some love stories don't end. they just hit pause, waiting for the right time and maybe a little courage to hit play again. They thought they'd moved on new lives, new routines, new playlists. But when a surprise reunion throws them back into each other's orbits, all those once-buried feelings start bubbling up again. Sure, there were heartbreaks, awkward silences, and a few epic misunderstandings. But also? Laughter, late-night talks, and a love that never quite went away. Now, with the past behind them and maybe a little more wisdom , they're faced with one big question: is it time to finally give their love story the ending or a new beginning that it always deserved?

(SAMPLE) Fractured: The Choices He Made (A Cheating Romance) by islandgirlZL

He cups my face, his thumb brushing my cheek. "Come on. You know you're the only one for me." He kisses my forehead. What would you do if you discovered that your husband of eighteen years is having an affair? No... don't answer yet. 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬. Eighteen years. Not eighteen days. A history. A family. There's a long road between suspicion, the footprints left in the sand, and the devastating truth that the life you knew is already over. I saw it coming. I felt it in my bones. Late nights at work. Sleeping at the office. The distance... the way his eyes could no longer hold mine. Lipstick stains where they didn't belong. Unfamiliar scents clinging to a man who should only ever smell like him and me. 𝘏𝘪𝘮 & 𝘮𝘦. But when a third person enters your marriage... there's nothing left to save. 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗱: 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘩𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘏𝘦 𝘔𝘢𝘥𝘦 is the first book in a trilogy that follows Cecily's journey. From heartbreak and having her world fractured more than once, to the slow, painful process of rebuilding herself and finding true love. The kind of love powerful enough to reshape worlds and give meaning to every wound left behind. Described by readers as an unflinching, realistic, and raw exploration of love, betrayal, and the fractures that change everything... the kind of story that cuts deep, lingers, and refuses to release you even after the final page. ⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾⋆⁺₊⋆⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾⋆⁺₊⋆⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾⋆⁺₊⋆ ₊⋆ Cheating ⋆⁺ OWD (Other Woman Drama) ₊⋆ Marriage in Crisis ⋆⁺ Emotional Betrayal ₊⋆ Long-Term Marriage ⋆⁺ Domestic Angst ₊⋆ Moral Ambiguity 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴 18+.

OBSESSION. too personal by _Jane_D_O_E

This could have been a gentle story for quiet autumn evenings. But it shattered against Morphine - a chapter that will not let you stay indifferent. And now, you'll understand why. This is not a story about perfect love. It's about healing through pain, about love that blooms after trauma, and about the fragile line between salvation and obsession. She is a woman rebuilding herself from the ashes. Not strong - simply real. A mother. A fighter. A writer whose words cut deeper than truth itself. She doesn't want to be someone's muse - she only wants to be understood. He is the man the world worships... and fears. A legend. A symbol of an era. But behind the fame, there's a man haunted by his own darkness. Together, they are fire and gasoline - two broken souls learning how to love without losing themselves. Their story isn't a fairytale. It's an age-gap dark romance about redemption, grief, and the courage to love again. With touch. With words. With silence between the lines.

CLOVE by llaacceess

"I've been a fool, Clover. Such a damn fool. I thought I could bury my feelings for you, pretend they didn't exist, but I was wrong. So damn wrong." He takes another deep breath, feeling the lump in his throat grow larger. "I've tried to deny it, to push it down and ignore it, but it just keeps coming back. Stronger and stronger until I can't ignore it anymore. I'm in love with you, Clover. So damn in love with you." His voice is thick with emotion, tears threatening to spill down his face. "I don't know how it happened, or when it happened, but it did. And I tried to fight it, I tried to convince myself that I didn't love you, but I was lying. To myself, and to you." He looks at her unconscious form, imagining her sparkling eyes and warm smile. "I miss you so much, Clover. I miss hearing your voice, seeing your face, feeling your touch. I miss fighting with you, making up with you, just being with you... I never realized how lonely I was before you came into my life. How empty and meaningless my days were. You brought light and color into my world, and I didn't even appreciate it. I took it for granted, and I'm so damn sorry for that." *********** Clover Whitlock navigates a world of secrets, shadows, and shattered dreams. Haunted by a turbulent past, she finds peace in the quiet corners of her local library, burying herself in books to escape the chaos of her reality. But when tragedy strikes, Clover's fragile world shatters, leaving her grasping for hope amidst the rubble of her life. Brennan Hart, heir of the city's elite and bearer of his own burdens. Haunted by demons from his past, he seeks redemption in the arms of a stranger, only to find himself drawn to the raven haired girl. As their worlds collide, Clover and Brennan are forced to confront their deepest fears and darkest secrets. But as they navigate the treacherous waters of love and betrayal, they must ask themselves: can they save each other, or will they only destroy themselves in the process?

All of her by XJulianne

Emilia Hartley has always been too much. Too opinionated. Too ambitious. Too loud. Too emotional. Too everything-according to every man who's ever tried to love her. So now she doesn't let anyone try. She's built a life of control: sharp suits, sharper words, and a career that leaves no room for mistakes. Or feelings. James Dunne is everything she shouldn't want. Calm. Controlled. Maddeningly unreadable. A financial advisor with a voice like velvet and a habit of watching her too closely in meetings. He's not the kind of man who gets involved. Not with women like her. Not with anyone. When a high-profile client forces them to collaborate, tension sparks fast-and it doesn't burn out. Not after late nights in glass offices. Not after near-kisses in rain-drenched cabs. Not after one devastating night where she lets him in, only to run the next morning. But James doesn't flinch. He never told her to be quieter. Or smaller. And for the first time in her life, Emilia is terrified... of someone staying. All of Her is a slow-burn, emotionally charged love story about ambition, vulnerability, and the rare kind of intimacy that doesn't ask you to change-just to be seen.
