a bunch of one-shots and some poetry I wrote. I aim to make a collection of fleeting moments love found, love lost, and the quiet ache that lingers in between. Each poem and one-shot is a whisper from the heart, showing the journey from self grief to self-love and appreciation, no longer depending on others for your own joy. It's written for anyone who's ever felt too much. Or ever feels like they're too much! Happy reading!

Charlotte Hevemeyer. At twenty-two, Charlotte Hevemeyer is a gifted civil engineer with a bright mind, a passion for travel, and a deep love for timeless romance novels. Raised under her father's protective eye, Charlotte has lived a life sheltered from the world's harsher realities. Despite her brilliance and independence, she still dreams of a love that mirrors the stories she reads, unaware that her life is soon to be rewritten by an arranged marriage she never saw coming. Jude Leland Balfour. At thirty-four, Jude Leland Balfour is the disciplined and sharp-minded heir to the vast Balfour conglomerate. Devoted to his work, Jude has little patience for emotional entanglements and views marriage as an unnecessary distraction. To him, success is earned through grit, not sentiment, and tradition is an obstacle, not a guide. Their worlds collide in a union neither wanted, bound by duty but tested by desire. Beneath the surface of appearances lies a story of clashing upbringings, contrasting love languages, and the thin line between resentment and connection. At its heart, Elites explores how lies can both destroy and create beauty in unexpected ways.
