Brave Enough To Love Again by CalliopeBlythe

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"

Loving Him Was Red by Snowflowerrs

Charlotte doesn't care for rules, for expectations, or for anyone's opinion. She's sharp, unapologetic, and fully in control of her life. Justin? He's from a world that couldn't be more different. He keeps his distance, deliberately staying far away from someone like Charlotte-too unpredictable, too intense. But fate doesn't care about their differences. Something keeps pulling them together, no matter how hard Justin tries to ignore it. Neither of them is willing to back down, yet neither is truly ready for what the other represents. What happens when two people so completely at odds are forced to collide? Neither will reveal their hand, and the answer isn't clear. But this is a game with no rules-just a fight for survival, and the only certainty is that neither of them will be the same when it's over.

As Lucas delves deeper, he encounters Emma Carter, a quiet yet resilient bakery owner with a past just as tangled as the town's.

The town whispers of an ancient brotherhood leaving behind a trail of blood and betrayal. With Sheriff Margaret Cole, a sharp yet haunted officer, by his side, Lucas pieces together a conspiracy decades in the making. But as the body count rises, trust erodes. Who among them is next? And when the past refuses to stay buried, will Lucas escape Ashwood's deadly grip, or will he become another name on the killer's list?

The Vampire and The Ghost | ✔︎ by SammyE9

[BOOK ONE OF THE VAMPIRE AND THE GHOST SERIES] She's dead, he's undead. An unusual duo make their way through the modern world, and its modern challenges. Annalise Redwood had spent too much time alone, floating in a centuries old house. The very same house she was murdered in 5 years before. She'd watched people leave, come in, investigate and even squat in this house. Yet none of them stayed long. And more importantly none of them saw her. It was hell, and she swore she was cursed. But this all changes, on the 5th anniversary of her death when a seemingly normal young man walks in. And he sees her. Eugene Cubert was old. Too old. He was done with life, had lived, breathed (well not really) and seen too much for one soul to bare. Quite frankly all he wanted to do was find a nice house to live in and spend the rest of the century comfortably locked away from all of the supernatural and natural. He's visiting his 5th house that day, when he hears it. A woman, screaming to be seen. And then he sees her. And nothings quite the same after that. ---------------------------------------------------- #No.2 in paranormal 3/7/2021 #No.1 in ghost 9/7/2021 #No.8 in murder 2/8/2021 Updates weekly!
