The Ruins of Us by cleofarlyn

Mia and Kade met in college. What started as something unexpected turned into everything. The kind of connection people don't believe in until it's already swallowed them whole. They got married. Young, fast, fully. Two years in, their life looked like a dream-intense, passionate, untouchable. They weren't just in love; they were each other's entire world. Until one night destroyed it all. One photo. Doctored, planted, and completely false-landed in Kade's hands. Without asking a single question or giving Mia a chance to speak, he made a decision that would change everything. Convinced she had betrayed him, he threw her out of their home without explanation. But Mia never betrayed him. The evidence was a lie. The truth was something Kade never gave her the chance to say. And by the time he learns what really happened, it may be too late to fix what he destroyed. Because trust is easy to break. And not everything broken can be rebuilt.

Dinner Disasters: Sebastian and Layana by GroveltoHEA

First, I caught him with her in a restaurant on the anniversary of the day we met. He explained it all. Then, he came home with lipstick by his ear. He explained that, too. I found a secret phone with texts between them. He denied it was his and explained it away. But when I found out something he had lied about... That he couldn't explain.

Logically Broken by StellerDeller

I allowed myself to look past my intuition and distrust of a certain someone and their interactions with my fiancé ... I mean ex-fiancé. I chose trust in him over distrust of her at every crossroads his choices created, and now I'm lost. Maybe breaking it down again, piece by piece will help me look at the big picture logically. Maybe then I can feel less illogical pain and find my way back to myself again. A story about a relationship breaking down because of broken boundaries and a breakdown in communication.

Yesterday's Whispers by kivey39

Finding out we were going to be parents was supposed to be the happiest time of our lives. Instead, I feel my husband, Ethan, drifting away from me a little more every day. He's late coming home from work, he disappears for long periods of time, he's irritable and closed off, and nothing I say or do seems to reach him. As tensions between us mount, I'm discovering parts of my husband's past that I never knew existed. And when everything comes tumbling down, I'm forced to ask myself: how well do I really know the man I love?

Take a Chance by authorquinnmiller

Sarah thought she had the perfect marriage-until one devastating moment shattered everything. The man she trusted most has betrayed her in the cruelest way, and the pain of witnessing it with her own eyes leaves her questioning everything she's ever believed about love. Broken and desperate for healing, Sarah returns to her childhood home, where familiar comforts and family support help her begin to piece herself back together. But she doesn't expect to find Eric-the boy she once loved and the one who let her go-still waiting in the background of her past. Eric knows he made the biggest mistake of his life when he lost Sarah. Now he'll do anything to prove that she deserves more than heartbreak... and that second chances aren't just for fairy tales. Will Sarah find the courage to dream again-and can Eric finally give her the love she's always needed?
