  When Gage lays eyes on a beautiful girl that glows throughout her being and brightens his life, he knows he'd risk everything for her. But his scars have made him second-guess if he's right for her. He can't help thinking that maybe she deserves better.
  
  Zoey Conrad has always found solace in fixing people, and Gages desolate expression draws at her heartstrings. She see's a strong man, combating adversities and hopes to make him see the good in himself. That his scars don't define him, but are a part of his whole. That she can love him and find him attractive with his scars, not despite them.
  
  Will his wounds stop him from pursuing the one good thing he craves, or will it burn them both inside out?

My Broken Luna by awesomepriscilla

"Stop. Stop, please." I sob as the whip comes down on my back once more. "Shut up yo-" my tormentor's words are cut off by a ferocious growl. I sense another masculine figure in the dark room, but can't make out a word he's shouting. The burning and searing pain that I'm experiencing is just too much. A sickening snap is heard and something drops onto the cold, stone flooring. The chains around my wrists and ankles are broken along with the tight metal collar around my neck. "Mate." my rescuer growls, gently cradling me in his arms. ********************* Charlotte Beck has been tortured and abused by the Red Stone pack ever since she turned eight. She doesn't know why they hate her or how she ended up a lower rank than the Omegas; no one even bothered to label her as a slave. She has never known the true meaning of love or how it felt like, all Charlotte knows is that her pack surely doesn't feel that way about her. Finding a mate was a dream that was thrown out the window long ago; all of the verbal abuse led her to believe that she didn't deserve one.

Xander Reynolds, Alpha of the Lunar Shadow pack, finds her when she's taken to his cells as a trespassing prisoner.

The Luna and Her Moon by kerfuffled_

At just eighteen, Anna Kilmer finds herself trapped in a continuous loop of forced prostitution and abusive treatment, unaware of how to get out. That is, until she decides to escape, oblivious to the fact she would run into the arms of another man who scares her like the rest. However, the funny part about Xavier West isn't that Anna is afraid of him because he's abusive; in fact, she's afraid because he's the first man to treat her with the respect she deserves. Unfortunately her struggles aren't over yet; she must integrate into Xavier's society of werewolves, pushing aside the remnants of her dark past to look forward to the future. The only problem is, her role as a Luna might become her breaking point; she may not be able to live the life she's always dreamed of living. "The Luna and Her Moon is a Werewolf Romance that follows a main character who has experienced sexual trauma in her history and is learning to love and live for herself. kerfuffled_ has written a story that does not gloss over the traumas that the character has experienced, and shows that people continue to live with these traumas whether they want them to stay in the past or not. If you're a fan of romance and shape-shifting canines, this slow-burn romance has tender and goofy moments that will keep you rooting for the couple." - @latchkeyy **COMPLETED** - Awards/Accomplishments - ~ 1st place in the Cerulean Awards ~ 3rd place in the Privus Awards ~ Best Opening Chapter in the Rainbow Awards ~ Featured on YA Fantasy ~ #1 in hurt ~ #1 in damaged ~ #1 in matebond ~ #1 in humantrafficking ~ #1 in trauma ~ #1 in saving ~ #1 in abusive contents ~ #2 in love **** WARNING: This book does contain rape/sexual content to some extent as well as violence.

Despite being as strong as he is, Mark is alone, in the worst pain, and struggling to accommodate his new life. Everything seemed hopeless until he started physical therapy and meets the perky occupational therapist, Anya Jones. She brings a smile to everyone in a room.

Old Doctor Philmyer, an occupational/physical therapist pushed her harder than anyone would even try to do. Determination and will drove her to prove every doctor wrong. 3 years after her accident, Anya was walking, even running again. Her body had healed itself in a miraculous turn of events.
