Life's Unexpected Turn by cbakaloff

When all hope is lost, what can one do? What happens when someone you love changes and becomes the person you most fear? Do you hide? Do you speak up? Do you fall in line? Do you give up, lose yourself, and hope for the inevitable? ~ Parker Avery is a creative teacher and artist striving to find happiness by starting over in a new city. Her past is filled with lies, abuse, betrayal, and torture; she's attempting to find herself again. Bailey Adams is a kind, artistic college student endeavoring to survive the abuse she endures daily from her girlfriend. She never expected her life to turn out this way, and she's slowly losing herself. ~ What happens when Parker and Bailey's paths cross? Will these two let their walls down enough to open up and trust someone after all that they have been through? Or will they push themselves further away, believing that a happy ending is never genuinely possible? If you desire answers to such questions, you'll have to read how this incredible story unfolds. _____________________________________________ Please note that the imagery used in my chapters are not 100% mine.

Trepidation [Book 1] by daisyclouds89

Two people - broken in their own way - collide. Francesca's life was completely normal up to a couple months ago. Ethan's never known normality. Two people. Carrying a massive weight of secrets. Only time will take for their barriers to break and their walls to fall. Mature content throughout: PTSD, Language, sexual themes, smut, drugs and alcohol. - - - My insides are begging for me to let go, and I don't think I can hold no longer, but for my own dignity, I do, trying to push it down. It's too soon, embarrassingly soon. "Don't you fucking dare." His voice is hard, demeaning, and that alone makes my insides tighten further. The pressure becoming unbearable. Ethan's hand grabs my wet hair, twirling it around his hand before he pulls me up by it, and I wince slightly before sighing as my back hits his chest, his cock still buried into me. He palms my breasts, my nipples hardening further, and he rolls my right one between his fingers before pinching it, and I whine at the feeling. Dickhead. "Cum for me right now, Francesca, or else."

An Unexpected Moment by caromerri

... that changes everything Sarah was starting her junior year of high school. Looking at herself in the mirror, she saw a pretty average blonde haired, blue eyed, teenager. She was neither in the popular group, nor one of the many cliched outsiders. Sarah was a nobody. She liked to blend in and lay low. It was her way out of not only this town, but her house. No one knew it, but her father was a high functioning alcoholic that often took his anger out on his family. With her older sister now in college, it had turned to her more often. Laying low in general was a good strategy. Across town, Ryan was prepping for his final year in high school. While he wasn't the stereotypical quarterback of the football team, he did fit into the popular crowd. His sports of choice included basketball and soccer, either of which might line him up for a scholarship next year. Ryan had a group of close friends and a lot of adoring acquaintances. It wasn't easy juggling his athletics and keeping the grades up, but he was just that good. The supporting parents didn't hurt either. It might be a cliché romance, but it will be fun to see what the year and beyond holds. ------------------------------------------ This is a story I wrote years ago, or at least partially wrote. As I transcribe it here, I have tried to update it a bit and give the characters/story more depth than what I had when I was younger. Hopefully it all gets pulled together!

Safe With Me by _gisellewrites

It was like a fairytale being with him. It was like the world could come crashing down but not even that could tear us apart. *** "I didn't ask for you to come into my life or to expect me to love you more than I could possibly love him. I hate you, I hate everything about you. I hate how you barged into my life thinking you could solve everything. I hate how you expect me to act like nothing happened. I hate how you remind me so much of him. Nobody asked you to do this.." I hadn't realized how close I had gotten to him until his hands cupped my face. "He asked me, okay? He begged me to look after you. You need to face reality. He's dead Emma." *** We were perfect together. Nothing could tear us apart. Nothing....except death. © Copyright 2015 All Rights Reserved.

Destined For You (The Ludovica Siblings #3) by ameesaAhlam

(Can be read as a standalone.) I was a hopeless romantic from a young age but when I watched my father strike a deal with his friend in the most desperate of times, all my dreams came shattering down. My fate was sealed with just a few words. My future wife decided. For the next eighteen years, while our parents waited for her to grow up, I spent my time strategising to break off the deal and cursing her for being a thorn in my dreams. But you can't just refuse a mafia princess especially when the deal has already been done and dusted. Feisty, talkative, pizza lover, spoiled. A complete opposite of me. I had a clear line of reasons as to why I despised her then why did I end up losing my heart to her?
