"I would compare this novel with others that have had such a great impact they have ultimately been made into motion pictures." -The Book Enthusiast

To love is to lose, but can she ever win again?

There are five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. And Alex Hart is right smack dab in the middle of denial when she meets the good-looking and mysterious Andrew Foster. Drew alone takes her one step closer to acceptance--the place where new and meaningful relationships blossom. 

But just as Alex thinks she's on the road to finally healing after a tragic accident, she's once again hit with a loss, a loss that just might destroy her. When faced with her world crumbling down for the second time in her life, Alex discovers that her true therapy is in the one who has always saved her. But can the boy who was just skipping stones be the rock she's always needed?All Rights Reserved

DREA (GxG) by xJadesx

Mrs Julia Robinson, the wife of American figure skating Olympian Adrian Robinson, is nervous about finally meeting her husband's family. After two years of marriage living in Amsterdam, they've decided it's time to move back to Virginia and give Julia the opportunity to meet the rest of her husband's family. The most important of them all is his close sister and best friend, Adreanna Jones. The flight to Virginia was long, but the car ride to Adreanna's house was short. Despite the short distance, the couple never made it there. Julia wakes up in a hospital, broken and alone. She learnt that they'd been in an accident that claimed her husband's life and sent her into a coma for 12 days. Heartbroken, depressed and disabled, she found herself stranded in a foreign country with no one to lean on. Or so she thought. Adreanna loved her brother more than anyone in the world. He was her father, mother, and best friend. He was her everything. Then he was gone. Julia was the closest thing left to her brother. Adreanna's intentions were to just get to know the woman her brother married, look after her on his behalf until she could look after herself again and eventually return home. But life wiped out those plans before they even cemented as the two women, in a time of hurt and grief, seeking closure, companionship and love, formed a bond they didn't even realise was growing until it was too late. Now they're stuck at a crossroads, having to decide between love and ethics. The sequel to Drea is out now. It is called Mrs Jones. You can find it on my profile. <3

They must decide if they can overcome their fears of another broken heart and whether they're willing to risk it all for a chance at something real.

Love Rewritten by JCAnderson2025

A widowed professor. A love he thought was lost. Two girls in need of a home. And a past that refuses to stay buried. Mackenzie "Mac" Elliot has spent years burying himself in books and lesson plans, content to let life pass him by. But when he stumbles upon two runaway sisters with nowhere to go, his carefully constructed world begins to unravel. What starts as a single act of kindness quickly turns into something much more-forcing him to step up in ways he never expected. Just as Mac begins to find purpose beyond his grief, Vivian Sutton-the ex-wife he never truly let go-walks back into his life. She's stronger, sharper, and even more stunning than he remembers. But Vivian isn't just back for nostalgia-she's ready to fight for him. And this time, she won't leave without a battle. As Mac, Vivian, and the girls navigate their fragile new reality, the ghosts of their pasts refuse to rest. A violent attack leaves Mac in the public eye, old secrets resurface, and dangerous figures from Maggie and Stokely's past come creeping out of the shadows. When the people he loves most are threatened, Mac is faced with a choice: stay in the safe, quiet life he's built-or fight for the family he never saw coming. A deeply emotional and gripping story about love, second chances, and what it means to build a family from the broken pieces of the past. Perfect for fans of Nicholas Sparks, It Ends With Us, and The Nightingale.

Echoes of Betrayal by kcuf625

SELF PUBLISHED. BUY NOW ON AMAZON https://a.co/d/iWTMRlu For Alex, life seems perfect. He's built a steady career, nurtured a close bond with his younger brother, Josh, and found what he believes to be true love with Emma. Together, they form an inseparable trio of laughter, loyalty, and shared memories. But beneath the surface of Alex's seemingly ideal world lies a dark truth he's never imagined. One impulsive decision-to come home early, brimming with excitement to surprise Emma-shatters his life in an instant, exposing an unimaginable betrayal that leaves him questioning everything he thought he knew. As Alex stumbles upon Emma and Josh entwined in the betrayal, they offer him a chilling invitation: to join them. Frozen in shock, he feels his reality slip away, each past interaction with his brother and girlfriend now colored by suspicion and deceit. Retreating into a spiral of doubt, Alex revisits every laugh, every touch, and every lingering glance, realizing he's ignored countless signs of their betrayal. Seeking solace, Alex turns to his best friend, Clara, who helps him navigate the haunting aftermath and face his own vulnerability. But when an old rivalry and hidden family secrets come to light, Alex realizes he was not merely a victim of his loved ones' choices. Years of simmering jealousy, familial favoritism, and emotional avoidance rise to the surface, pushing Alex to examine how he allowed illusions to dictate his happiness. As Alex begins to rebuild himself, he stumbles upon a final, shocking revelation: Emma never loved Josh either. Her affair with him was a calculated act, designed to "free" Alex from the lie he'd been living. Stripped bare of the illusions that once comforted him, Alex is left to confront his own worth and face the uncomfortable truth-he's spent years bound by a false sense of security, ignoring his inner voice.
