Love at first sight is rare, but for Thea and Charlie it is a lifetime of love in a handful of moments. They had met many years ago, when Thea was much younger, merely a surly teen in an orphanage. Charlie had come sweeping into her life much like a storm and changed Thea's entire world with a single song. For a teen that had never known love and a child that had lost love, they seemed to complete each other perfectly. When Charlie gets adopted, however, things change, and not for the better. Thea promised to find Charlie when she was older and then they could be the family they had always wanted. Years later, when Thea is finally old enough to keep her promise, Charlie is nowhere to be found. Follow Thea in her adventure through Charlie's past and discover the life of a lost child in this story of true love, loss, and adventure. Bonds are tested and dreams are shattered, but maybe, just maybe, there can be happy ending to a life as dismal as Thea's.

Mrs. Avery
Love is strange. It exists in many forms and is one of the key components that makes humans happy, but there isn't a lot of understanding surrounding it. At least not the kind of understanding with which the average person identifies. Agnes is one of the few people that can accept all kinds of love. Despite her dated name, she is a woman in her late 20's dealing with the death of most of her family. She's now stuck in the middle of figuring out how to raise children that she never saw in her future and deciding what love means for her, when it has to exist within layer upon layer of complication. She let go of her boyfriend after almost a decade because their love wasn't meant to exist under the strain of children, only to find herself confronted with the overpowering connection of her old high school sweetheart. The same man she ran away from because their values hardly aligned when it came to how love should be expressed long term. Within the midst of learning how to raise children and balance her ever-building career, Agnes tries to recover from her mother's death, seek comfort without complicating her circumstance, and figure out why her mother would name her Agnes. Finding real comfort starts to feel impossible, as her most available options are her ex-boyfriend and her assistant. Completed! Rejected 6 times** "This one just isn't for us." By far the most plain rejection I have ever received and I can respect it. 1/22/2022 - 1K 9/28/2022 - 10KComplete

After taking his phone number, u need to thank him with a rose flower. " Om gave me the dare while Gauri was smiling. It's simple ok I'll do it, I glanced at that person who was back facing me. I just took the Rose that was placed on the our table and walked over to him. "Excuse me!" I tapped on his shoulder making him turn around and that's it I just lost myself in his blue grey orbs, he is handsome really very handsome, his hypnotizing eyes had a magic spell on me then his finely shaped jaw line with some good amount of stubble. His three-piece suit was literally making him more mesmerizing, he is looking like a Greek god. He is the first person who I was literally drooling and I think he is gonna be my first crush too. God!! I am snapped out of my thoughts when the person standing in front of me cleared his throat, I closed my eyes to take a deep breath and then I opened my eyes to see that Mr. Handsome was looking at me, I smiled at me. This was love at first sight, love everlasting: a feeling unknown, unhoped for, unexpected--in so far as it could be a matter of conscious awareness; it took entire possession of him, and he understood, with joyous amazement, that this was for life.Complete
All I Know
Sometimes love is more about the learning curves than the fairytale "Happily Ever After". Because often the world shows us how unkind it can be, how the notion of "good things happen to bad people' actually breathes true. Good people are often the ones with the most scars and disappointments but even with those battle wounds, they are still willing to pursue love. Sometimes it is the people that have been hurt the most, who love the hardest and are intentional in their love. So as hard and painful as these experiences are, these are the chapters that build you, remove the rose-colored glasses from your eyes, and present you with reality... you can choose to harden or to soften to the standards of this world. Follow David and Amelia on their journey, in the most unconventional of places and it changes the way they view the world forever. All events in this book are fictional. Some instances such as events and characters may be based on real life but nothing is 100% factual.![𝐁𝐫𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐧 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬 [Sample of Published Book]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/63486446-256-k995532.jpg)
