"I'm nobody's damsel in distress." - Colette Fontaine She walks with a blade and a laugh, soft lips and sharp intent. Pretty enough to make you look twice. Dangerous enough to make you wish you hadn't.

Graylen hides a lot of things when he first meets Aubrey, and he doesn't know how to tell her of his true nature without scaring her or her son. All that comes crashing down when Aubrey does something completely simple. She drank from a coffee mug. That's what forced Graylen to reveal his true self to the woman he was in love with, and it had nothing to do with the shape or the design of the cup, but its contents. ©2014-2025 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED COPYRIGHT _macc_ I DO NOT GIVE PERMISSION TO REDISTRIBUTE MY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY TO ANYONE OR ON ANY SITE

Who said finding love makes things simple? For Lee, it's probably the most challenging part. Bonus chapters of Lee X Sana's life. It might become a book; I said might!

[AMBYS 2023 Top picks in humor novellas ✨️] Lee Cook is heartbroken; his wife left him for another woman after twelve years of marriage. He vows to never fall in love again until his dying day. Sana Gulati is befuddled; her boyfriend left her for a woman ten years younger than her. She vows nothing; she's just pissed and consoling herself with anything sweet and comestible. He lives in London, she in Paris. They've met once; one walked out after drenching the other's face with beer. Since the two only see each other virtually on the Zoom meetings, their company loves to schedule every two days. When Sana replies to Lee's offensive PM, an odd stalking game begins between the two. Before they know it, they connect. Here's a simple story of Woman meets Man where Wifi is key, and where some vows are hard to keep. @ContemporaryLit Fall Awards 2021 longlister.
