This is a collection of the poems I published over the years (circa 2014-2018). I decided to put them all in one book. It's very cringey, I know, but it's still a part of my life and my growth as a writer. I don't write poetry anymore, but it was essential during the times when I just needed to tell my story and let things out but had no other outlet to do so healthily. So let's cringe together at my teen writing, shall we? ✎﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏ NOTE: If you are reading this story on any other platform other than Wattpad you are very likely to be at risk of a malware attack.

Dominic St. Claire never expected to fall in love. Melody Harrington never expected a chance encounter at a bar to change her life. But in a town haunted by fear and secrets, some people are not who they seem - and some shades of red mean more than love.

When her office burns down an editor must work together with the most infuriating man alive or risk the promotion she's been working her entire career for. **** Chielozonam 'Elo' Williams is doing great. All things considered. It doesn't matter that the job she loves as editor at PerfectRomance, the publishing imprint she's been working at for the past five years has started to feel more like a chore these days. It doesn't matter that her judgemental father might be right about her wasting her life away by not using her full potential. What really matters is getting her dream promotion and enjoying the prime years of her youth. That is until the unthinkable happens. After Elo's office building burns down overnight she's forced to share an office with the one person that makes her blood boil: Connor Price. Archenemies since their days at college Connor makes getting under her skin an art form. He's brash and rude and irritates her like nobody else can with his scathing looks and contemptible behavior. It's not long before they're locked in a battle of wits, neither willing to back down or give up. When they have to work together to acquire a potentially lucrative manuscript, they are forced to put aside their long-standing animosity for an adventure that will blur the line between hate and desire until neither of them can tell where the fighting ends and the falling begins.
