While fighting the War on Drugs in Latin America, Marine Brody Teller was involved in an accident that left him with a supernatural power: a deep connection to the sea and the ability to control it. 

When the mysterious Joe Smith approaches him with an incredible job offer, Brody thinks it's too good to be true. His life-saving need and his desire to be near the ocean while earning a living are rolled into one perfect job. 

Rayna Lopez lives a quiet life as she tries to climb her way up the CIA ladder, always in fear the government will learn of her family lineage. When her father asks for help getting her famous and belligerent half-sister out of trouble, Rayna reluctantly agrees to travel with her and they board a yacht where they will be protected. 

Brody and Rayna realize they've met before, and despite a significant lack of trust between them, they face an attraction neither can deny. As they fight to keep Rayna's sister alive, lies are revealed and secrets are told. They must both learn to trust each other, and-if they live through their voyage-figure out what to do about their whirlwind romance.

Brave Enough To Love Again  by CalliopeBlythe
80 parts Complete
I stood with my back to her, shielding her, and my murderous eyes stared down at the poor excuse of a man, promising unimaginable pain if he dared to move or even flinch. The enormity of control it took me to suppress the impulse to eradicate the piece of scum, who dared to even think about laying a hand on a woman, was inconceivable. My whole body was trembling with rage. The guy was intimidated by the fury in my eyes and stumbled back to his intoxicated friends who were too dazed to understand the situation. I was disappointed and relieved at the same time that the chaos didn't end in a fist fight. When I turned around to console her, she was gone. And as I looked around, I saw her back just leaving the bar through the entrance. I hurried out to follow her. She walked ahead of me aimlessly and disoriented like a wounded animal that had just escaped the claws of death. My heart ached for her. I found a kindred soul in her. She evidently had been wounded in the past. Just like me. But in an even worse way than I had been hurt, and it angered me, that someone had dared to harm her. *** Eden Marie Simmons is still recovering after escaping an abusive relationship when she meets Keane, the broody and enigmatic neighbor who is shrouded in mystery. Both are still being haunted by their past and are not ready for a new commitment, but when fate repeatedly puts them in each other's paths, they can't deny their attraction for each other. Life challenges them both with secrets, lies, and broken trusts, and confronts them with their pasts. They both must learn to be brave enough to love again. *** Story is previously called "Paradise Lies"

*UNDERGOING EDITING AND SMALL CHANGES RANKED #1 IN #DADSBESTFRIEND TROPE My gaze was fixed on Weston, wanting to look away so he didn't see me but unable to, and so when he whipped his head in my direction, he looked me square in the eyes. I was painfully aware of how I was sitting on Dego's lap, his arm around my waist, mine around his neck. I couldn't move, couldn't breathe, and he didn't either for several time stopping seconds. Then he slowly took a step in my direction, and kept walking until he was standing directly in front of Dego and I. •~•~•~•~•~•~••~~• Two years ago Avery Blackwood's father met and married a demure Sunday school teacher, who, within a matter of months, spent his entire savings and completely wiped out everything he'd done over the years, wrapping up the whole thing by having an affair. Her father divorced the woman, but it was too late to save the families finances, and before they could even begin to get back on their feet, Daniel Blackwood is deployed to the middle east, leaving Avery with her wealthy cousins to try and acclimate to an environment foreign to the one she was raised in. The pressure builds until Avery makes the choice to leave, her destination over halfway across the country; her brothers ranch in southeastern Colorado. The only obstacles-she has fifty dollars to her name and no car, and her controlling aunt standing in the way. Influenced by a childhood of war and action movies, Avery, armed with a bowie knife and determination, simply heads out the back door and doesn't look back. She isn't expecting her envisioned trek across America to end so soon; a chance meeting with a family friend and neighbor who feels responsible for his friends daughter causes her to alter her plans. Within the few days she is with Weston Travers, she falls for him, and falls hard, but falling in love with someone ten years her senior may not have the fairytale ending every girl dreams about.

Cristine Campbell has always followed the path laid out by her powerful family, but when a mysterious hum begins haunting her and shadows start creeping into her mind, her world unravels. As tensions between the families escalate, the possibility of a divided country looms, and Cristine finds herself drawn to Trent Thornton-the one person she shouldn't trust. Their forbidden connection is more than just an act of rebellion; it's tied to the very heart of the feud that could tear their families apart. But there's more at play than political power struggles. The shadows and the hum are growing stronger, and they seem to be guiding Cristine toward a destiny she never imagined. As she struggles to piece together the truth behind her family's legacy and the source of her strange visions, Cristine must decide where her loyalties lie-within the safety of her family's control, or with the dangerous allure of Trent and the secrets that could endanger them all. In this high-stakes tale of love, betrayal, and supernatural forces, Cristine will discover that the line between loyalty and fate is thinner than she ever thought. -- Hi guys the reason I wanted to write this book and finish it recently was because although there are many fantastic books I've read on here, I don't think it's easy for me to find a story that's got romance with no smut AND also a plot. Like the plot is always the romance and smut and i honestly have always craved a book with an actual plot and then a romantic little bit of it. Of course there are many books out there like this, however, I feel like I've read them all so many times and there's nothing left for me to read. The goal is to finish the book by 01/11/2024 I truly hope this finds its target audience - others like me - and you guys enjoy it. Thank you , Mtchi
