"Pretty things break easily, Deci, it's a hard truth you're just going to have to accept." He sneered, gripping my throat tighter as he pressed me against the bathroom door, his dark eyes glazed over. My vision began to darken, the edges furling like the ears of well read book. I gasped, fighting against his hold, nails digging into the flesh of his arm, trying to speak past the burning sensation devouring my trachea. "Pretty things shatter, December, and you're going to see that they don't get fixed."
*
December Dixon is broken. After a horrific four year relationship with a tragic end, she's left with scars, both mental and physical. The woman coming back isn't anything like the girl who left; December returns in pieces, one her family can't quite piece back together. However, Cade Rains, the man who didn't quite let go of the love of his life, steps in to mend her broken heart. But can he make her see past the damage that's been done?

Scars Like Ours
Scars Like Ours is a dark, emotional enemies-to-lovers romance about two broken souls who are forced to confront the pain they've buried-and the unexpected healing they find in each other. Aiden is the school bully: angry, volatile, and unreachable. Behind his violent outbursts and sharp tongue lies a shattered boy, shaped by years of abuse, betrayal, and abandonment. He hates his so-called friends, resents the world, and trusts no one-not even himself. Amara is quiet, kind, and aching to be seen. Curvy, dark-skinned, and often overlooked, she's spent years carrying the weight of family trauma and the devastating aftermath of sexual abuse. Bullied by classmates and haunted by her past, she keeps her heart locked away, hoping someone might still think she's worth loving. When they're forced into a trauma support group together, it's instant friction. Aiden mocks what he doesn't understand. Amara sees through the mask he wears. But as shared pain slowly becomes shared truth, their hatred begins to unravel into something deeper-messy, intense, and impossible to ignore. This is not a love story wrapped in softness. It's about two survivors clawing their way toward healing, fighting off their demons-and learning that love doesn't have to be perfect to be real.Complete
My Aching Solace
She isn't fine like she pretends to be. On the contrary. Liliana Storm Whitlock is shattered into a thousand pieces, used from the ones she loves, betrayed by the ones she loves, broken by the ones she loves. So she lost herself. And it all seems to go downhill after a crucial accident on a winter night. Additionally, her life takes a turn when she decides to leave her hometown, Hemfield, to start her new life at her University and finally enjoy the life she deserves. A fresh start is what she needed. Maybe she isn't the only one. The hockey team at the new university takes quite a keen interest in Liliana and won't seem to leave her at rest. Especially the most arrogant one of them all; Rhys Heartlow. He is nothing else than a jerk when they first meet, but somehow his cold heart seems to warm up to her just enough to make her fall for him. However, even if Liliana seems to find solace in her new life, her past continuously haunts her by tugging her back into old habits no matter how hard she tries to fight and ignore it. And perhaps she shouldn't have closed her eyes on the hints she got, because that would lead her into an icy road that is nothing less but deadly for her heart.

Why don't you believe?" I ask whilst clenching the cross necklace that laid around my neck. "God has the ability to heal the world so if he exists why doesn't he? Why does he let innocent people suffer just to spite the ones doing wrong? Why would he leave two young boys motherless and then parentless? Why does character building mean going through shit?" Holden's voice cracks and I see his lips quiver, he looks away avoiding my gaze. In that moment I knew he needed comforting and sometimes that doesn't mean words, so I laid my head on his shoulder and took his hand in mine letting him know if all else goes wrong, I'll always be there for him. __________________________________ Addison Mills just had her life turned upside down, from the death of her mother to leaving the only home she's ever known and Micah, the man she loved.

As the two try to navigate their way through senior year, hidden truths begin to surface and dark forces dare to tear them apart. Will their bond be strong enough to overcome life's challenges? Or will this be another tradegy added to the history books?Complete
The Weight of quiet things (Free sample)
Evelyn thought love was supposed to save her. At twenty-one, she's living in a cramped Adelaide rental with Jaxon-the boy who once made her feel chosen. He's passionate, intense, and when he's good, he's everything. But when he's not... he's cruel in quiet ways. With words that cut. With silences that scream. With promises that make her stay. Because love is supposed to hurt a little, isn't it? When Jaxon crosses a line she didn't know she had, Evelyn runs-with no plan, no bag, just a cracked phone and shaking hands. She ends up on her brother Jake's doorstep. Safe, but not whole. Then there's Kade. Jake's best friend. Her childhood tease turned quiet protector. He sees too much-asks too little. And something about the way he looks at her makes it hard to breathe. Living with them was meant to be temporary. But Jaxon still calls. Still says all the right things. And Evelyn can't stop loving him-not really. Not yet. As the past claws at her and something softer begins to bloom between whispered conversations and lingering glances, Evelyn is forced to choose: the man who once felt like gravity... or the one who makes her feel weightless.

The Way We Mend | Book 1 | Author AifiHwa
"I didn't want this to burn out too fast. I wanted it to last, slow and steady, a burning ember that glowed for eternity." She's breaking under expectations. He's suffocating under love. Valeriana has spent her whole life performing as the perfect daughter while quietly falling apart under the weight of never being enough. Darius grew up in warmth and freedom, only to find that too much love can also be a cage. At Ceridian University, Valeriana just wants to survive another semester. Darius just wants to do his job and keep his heart out of it. But when their paths cross; the tutor sessions, quiet teasing, dinners, and moments that weren't supposed to matter turns into something neither expected. A bond built on shared exhaustion and unspoken care. They teach each other how to breathe again. How to laugh when the world feels too heavy. How to love without needing to be perfect. But as their connection deepens, so does the fear of losing control, of being too much, of not being enough. Because love, for them, isn't a rescue. It's a slow unravelling. A choice to stay when it would be easier to run. "The Way We Mend" is a tender, slow-burn romance about burnout, healing, and the quiet courage of being seen and loved as you are. {This is an original work written by me. I only upload this on Wattpad.} [Updates: 3 times a week]Complete
