From Golden Heart Finalist Alyson McLayne comes a new contemporary romance series following the boys of Saint Ignatius, who are all grown up and still fighting it out on the soccer field-and finding love in Sizzling, Sexy Santa Barbara.

The clock is ticking for Sarika Dkany.

After Sarika's childhood-friend-turned-lover walks out the door, she's determined to have everything Rafe wouldn't give her: a husband, a home, and children-even if it means forcing her broken heart to love someone else. Now her godmother's ill, and Rafe has returned to bring Sarika back to Santa Barbara-and back into his life. Except Sarika says she's over him.

The clock is ticking for Rafael Fabrizio.

For all of Rafe's trappings of success, he's a man wounded by his broken childhood and afraid to claim the only woman he's ever loved-until he discovers she plans to marry someone else. Facing a lifetime without her, Rafe vows to overcome his past and convince her he's capable of being the man she needs. But will Sarika trust him again with her heart? And is she willing to forgive the past and move into their new future?All Rights Reserved

Altered by LuellaOpal

Have you ever met someone who alters the course of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness. This is a complete story that is much like life; fast, full of surprises, and not always how we want it to be. This has been a project of mine for over three years. It was self-published on Amazon, but after some issues in publication, I decided to just upload it on here. I hope you fall in love with these characters like I have. The friends in this story are trying to make names for themselves, figure out who they are, who they can trust, how to love, and how to separate themselves from a restrictive community. As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late? PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.

What I got was something different. The beautiful descriptions of the beach town made me feel warm and cozy and kept me reading until these two characters were introduced.

On the Way Down by JenniferFarwell

WATTYS 2024 SHORTLIST ⋆ SECOND CHANCE ROMANCE / CELEBRITY ⋆ They say you meet the same people on the way up and on the way down. In her wildest dreams and story plots, novelist Delaney Sharpe never fathomed this could apply to her, or that it would involve Phoenix Alden, the ex-boyfriend who ghosted her while his acting career was on the rise to Hollywood A-list status. When Phoenix struts back in to Delaney's life after a career nosedive and time away from the spotlight, he claims he's no longer the walking red flag he was when they dated. And when he asks her for a second chance--one weekend together to explain himself and prove he isn't who he used to be--she isn't sure what to do. Reuniting with Phoenix was a daydream Delaney had after he walked out, and before she healed, moved on, and found her own success. Still, it's only one weekend, and there's a spark between them Delaney can't ignore. She can finally get answers about what happened in their relationship and where Phoenix disappeared to. But when the weekend leaves her with deeper feelings than she expected, more questions, and a mystery to solve, Delaney knows she must uncover the truth about the last few years of Phoenix's life to decide if he really has changed, or if he's a danger to more than just her heart. ♥ TROPES IN THIS STORY ♥ Second chance Redemption One bed Emotional scars Is it all as it seems?
