Bella Owens is homeless due to running away from her abusive boyfriend after 4 years with him. She has run away for the sake of her unborn baby (and herself) but feels defeated as she struggles with being homeless. That is until she meets Brodie Corbin after he saves her life and decides he wants to help her, which she accepts with reluctance due to his wealth and not wanting to take advantage of his kindness. With new friend Brodie's help, Bella is able to start rebuilding herself to be the best version of herself that she can be, similar to how she was before she met her ex. Brodie is also dealing with a few things, like his career, an obsessive ex-girlfriend, and a past that he isn't proud of, while he starts having feelings for Bella. Little do Bella and Brodie know, but Bella's ex-boyfriend, Jason, is looking for her, adamant that he won't stop until they're reunited and back home together, back to how they were before she left. 

Will Brodie be able to help Bella? 

Will Bella truly be free from her ex, with her unborn baby?

Will Bella be able to move on and fall in love again after what she has been through over the last 4 years? 

Or will Jason find her and get her back?

Safe Haven by Paris5131

Matilda Brown has never seen the world outside of the walls. Her community is relatively small, at least compared to the outside world, and yet she's still somehow an outcast. Everyone else around her has powers - ones with fire or speed or the ability to speak every language known to man - and her mother even had two! However, she's stuck with none. Will she ever get her power? Will she ever recognize the abuse from her captor Mr. Osmond and escape him? Benjamin Langley is a university student navigating the loss of his best friend, when he discovers his ability to see the future. Soon after, he's taken by force to the community, and comes to see and entire world he had no knowledge of. Meeting Matilda forces him to consider the fact that escaping quietly might not work out. Cameron Thomas doesn't remember a time when he wasn't in the community, but he's starting to. Or, at least he thinks he is? Like Matilda, he too struggles with his power, not in finding it, but rather in controlling it. Will he get it right when it matters? Oliver Hart is a charismatic veterinarian who discovers he can suddenly hear the animals thoughts. It would've been a powerful career booster if he hadn't been kidnapped and taken to the community. There, he uses his charisma to make a group of friends he'll never forget. The four must fight tooth and nail to make it out of dangerous situations and discover their own feelings along the way.

Secrets Kept - Saints & Sinners Edition (Book 1) by CassieSmilez

"I'm so sorry! This is all my fault! I should have protected you! I'm so sorry Koby" I sobbed loudly. "It's okay. It's not your fault" Koby weakly said. "It is! No one should be exposed to this. Not now, not EVER!" I yelled. "Calm down, mom. I'm okay. He didn't rape me. The stupid son of bitch couldn't even figure out my zipper" she joked as she wiped away her tears. "Why was he here? Was he looking for your uncle? Did he say ANYTHING?" I asked. "He said he was here to collect a debt Uncle Eddie owed, but I know that he's been working every night to pay them back. I'm so confused. Maybe he's been lying about actually going to work at night. Maybe he's gambling behind our backs again. Where the hell is Eddie? I'm going to fucking kill him!" I shouted right as I bolted for the door. If you are looking for your boy meets girl and fall in love story, this is not the novel for you. It is just the opposite. Love, violence, mishaps, and intrigue define this saga. Unfortunately for Jakoby, from the very beginning life has thrown her curve balls, but she has managed to conquer what some consider to be impossible. Even after overcoming the truth of being conceived under unfortunate circumstances, ending up having to make tough personal decisions, and losing those who should have cared for her didn't break her spirit. Years later, her life takes a turn for the better after a few horrifying unpredictable years. What happens when one of Jakoby's decisions end up making her future unpredictable? What happens when the lessons she left behind travel back to haunt the life she's established for herself?

The Sweeny brothers, will do ANYTHING to get rid of Bella for good, so that their mother will FINALLY remember that they exist. Besides, battling Bella in the game of wits and pranks has been far more fun than they'll ever let her know. After a year, they still have not come to terms with the fact that she's there to stay. When one normal seeming weekend, begins to slide downhill at a rapid pace, Bella's rocky, mysterious past begins to haunt her, and the rest of her town.
