    Brie Sheridan has had her heart broken way too many times. Rhett Price is usually the culprit, but, this time, he might be the solution. ***** Brooke 'Brie' Sheridan wouldn't necessarily call herself a hopeless romantic; after all, love is everywhere if you choose to look for it, and there's nothing wrong with wanting to see the beauty and the good in the world. However, her rose-colored lenses are shattered when her boyfriend dumps her right at the start of her final year of college, ruining all her plans for her senior project, and here lie Brie's hopes, dreams, and pieces of her broken heart. Enter Rhett Price--known commitment-phobe, the bane of Brie's existence, and the reason behind many of her late-night crying sessions during the harshest days of high school. Down on his luck and struggling with improving his reputation, he turns to Brie in a time of need--he'll help her out with her project, and she'll help him look better and more responsible in the eyes of his family. Old feelings resurface, and it quickly becomes obvious there are certain things you don't always get over. Your first love might as well be one of them. ***** BENNINGTON COLLEGE SERIES #1 2025 WATTY AWARD WINNER [[THE AMBYS 2025 AMBASSADOR'S PICK IN ROMANCE]] [[5X WATTPAD FEATURED STORY]] © 2023 caterina george // all rights reserved

    Some people come into your life loudly. Others become home so quietly... you don't realize your heart has chosen them until you can't imagine life without them. Emotionally exhausted and carrying more than she lets anyone see, Imani Carter has spent years pouring herself into everyone else while quietly forgetting herself. Santino Rivera isn't looking for love either. Gentle, grounded, and unwavering in his faith, he's the kind of man who believes love is found in consistency-not grand gestures. When an ordinary church outreach unexpectedly brings them together, what begins as simple conversations slowly becomes something neither of them anticipated. Through quiet walks, shared meals, whispered prayers, lingering glances, laughter, heartbreak, and healing, they discover that the deepest love stories are rarely the loudest. In a world that celebrates grand gestures and fast romances, Quietly Beloved asks a different question: What if the greatest love story of your life arrived softly? Quietly Beloved is a slow-burn Christian romance about healing, faith, marriage, family, and discovering that gentle love can still be extraordinary.

    "So, let me get this straight. You stomped all over his paperwork?" She started. "Not intentionally, but yes," I confirmed it. "Threw a drink in his face?" She added. "Expensive red wine." I described. "Rammed into his car with yours deliberately?" she counted on her third finger. "Um...I'm not proud of that one," I said cringing. "And called him offensive names?" She ended the list and I winced. "Twice." I specified. "And you're still alive?" She blinked, looking genuinely surprised. "Geez, don't be dramatic or anything..." I frowned at her hyperbolic statement. "Maybe he's keeping you around to get revenge." She suggested. Possible. I wouldn't put it past him. "I didn't know alright!" I exclaimed. "Let's hope that excuse is acceptable.." She was merely amused.
