Contemporary Web Novels & Protective First Love Stories

Hael: I let her go once, and it nearly killed me. Now Ariana is back, with secrets in her eyes and internal walls so high I'll need an army to break them down. But I'm well known for breaching walls and claiming hearts. I don't think she realises just how far I'm willing to go or who I am now, but she will, even if I have to burn the town down to claim her. Ariana: He was the boy next door and my unlikely hero when life threw me curveballs. I think I've always loved Hael in one form or another, but when the opportunity arose to escape this town, I reached for it with both hands, leaving him behind like a dirty little secret. I should have known Hael was too much of a man to forget; even thousands of miles away, he haunted me. Now I'm back in Mercy, and I can't keep my secrets quiet anymore.

Moving to Canmore was the last thing sixteen-year-old Dani Bergeron wanted. Forced to leave Toronto behind, she arrives in the quiet mountain town with nothing but unanswered questions about the family she's never known. Everyone seems to recognize her last name, yet no one will tell her why. Greyson Blackwood has problems of his own. As heir to one of Canmore's oldest families, he's spent his life living under impossible expectations. But when a single accidental touch with the town's newest girl turns his world upside down, he begins losing control of something far more dangerous than his temper. The closer Dani and Greyson get, the more impossible it becomes to ignore the strange pull between them. Ancient rivalries, long-buried secrets, and a curse that has haunted their families for generations threaten to tear them apart before they even understand what's happening. Some bonds are written by fate. The hardest part is choosing what to do with them.
