New Yorker Arielle Hansen wasn't looking for love. (Well, not originally). All she was looking for was the foreign taste of adventure... But she ended up consuming the saccharine flavour of love.
But, sometimes, bitter doubts swallow our minds, and our mouths are infiltrated by a repulsive sourness, our lips stained with regret.
They say love heals all. But what if love was exactly what wounded you?

Beneath the Same Sky
Arielle once believed love was supposed to feel like urgency - breathless, bright, impossible to hold without burning. She gave her heart young, fiercely, thinking intensity meant destiny. But life taught her something quieter: sometimes the real breaking isn't loud - it's slow, invisible, and lonely. Now she's rebuilding. Not chasing closure... becoming it. There is someone from her past - a memory shaped like a first love, returning not to reclaim what once was, but to acknowledge what can never be again. And there is someone in her present - steady hands, quiet mornings, laughter that doesn't demand, warmth offered without rush - a presence that feels like safety instead of rescue. Yet this isn't a love triangle. It's a woman learning she is not choosing between two men - she is choosing herself, and the life she wants to grow into. Healing doesn't roar here. It whispers. It rests. It rebuilds. This is a story of: • love that once burned • love that now breathes • and a heart learning the difference Not every ending is explosive. Some are soft. Some are earned in silence. Some aren't endings at all - just beginnings with the lights turned on. A romance about growing up, letting go, and finding love that feels like peace - not proof. ✍🏽 Author Bio - Mercy Oke Mercy Oke writes emotional contemporary romance rooted in tenderness, healing, and the quiet revolution of choosing peace over chaos. Her characters don't fall in love because they're broken - they love while becoming whole. With a signature slow-burn softness, Mercy explores emotional maturity, internal rebirth, and intimacy that feels like exhale. Her work celebrates women who save themselves, and partners who become a soft place to land - not a cure, but a companion. When she's not writing, she's drinking warm tea, observing the language of ordinary life, and collecting moments that feel like stories waiting to breathe.Complete
Absorbed
All of us needed our own saviour. It could have been in any form. A person. A talent. An outburst. A paper. Laughing. Smiling. Walking forward. Breathing. Writing. And some of us needed someone to save us from ourselves. Our minds. Our own demons scattered in the depths of places we don't even want to imagine. Perhaps, it was what she was looking for. The depth within. ---------------------------------------------------- But little did we know, the heart was nothing but a sponge. It absorbed all kinds of feelings--pain, pleasure, depression, joy. Once absorbed, never stained.Complete
Skin | H. L. Hope
Twisted. Broken. Scarred. To put it simply: ruined. She has never considered herself one to get fond of anything, but her own self. As much as she loves to believe that she didn't deserve what life preserved her, that's what made her who she is. That's what makes her different and so unique. And that's exactly what left her so astonished and intrigued once she found out that her heart could still pound for love, longing and not just mere survival. Or at least, for her version of love. One he was going to taste soon, whether he liked it or not. One thing she didn't expect, was her own scars becoming his.
