"When a little girl from a poor neighborhood in Paris dreams...she dreams big.
By a dream I mean city lights, Sky-High buildings, Suits and pencil skirts, Hot coffee and busy street walks.
New-York.
That was the nightmare of many, including him...but for her that was a fantasy, a dream she couldn't resist longing for and hoping it would be reality.
Her pure heart led her towards what her soul craved but her harsh past kept lurking in the dark...waiting like a predator for the perfect moment to strike.
Her journey has just begun, his though, was threatened to perish.
He was drawn to her light, like a moth to a flame, yet his cowardice stood, head held high against any piece of happiness he could barely collect."

Cynical Souls
COMPLETED✅ Two high school teenagers finding themselves, analyzing this ever changing world, and building love. This is the type of love you wish you found in high school but probably know way too well that it only exists as fiction. Today I'm turning my fiction to reality. ❣️•••❣️ Excerpt: Just as I was about to seek shelter under some building's roof, the tires of a car come to a halt, I wonder who might pity the lonely girl walking in the rain. The passenger window rolls down, and I spot the most unexpected person seated behind the wheel. "Get in" comes out his voice, and I must've stood there agape for a few moments because next comes his rhetorical question. "Are you getting in or continuing walking in the rain?" Eyebrows raised expectantly. He sounds annoyed, like he regrets his decision to ever stop and help me. ❣️•••❣️ #5 in cynical #2 in loveandfriendship #1 in opinionated #4 in ihatelife #10 in nerdgirl #10 in HighschoolRomance #26 in GoodGirlBadBoy *contains mature themes. *contains cursing.Complete

"I really missed seeing your beautiful face the most," he told me while gently touching my face. Before I knew it, he pressed his lips against mine. We kissed with so much passion and pent-up desire. This feeling was different from our usual kisses; it was filled with intense longing. It felt as if we were clinging to each other for dear life, worried that if it ended, we would wake up and find it had all been a dream.Complete
UNRAVEL
Love and obsession are rarely what they seem. Love can tether you to the living. Obsession can chain you to the dead. Everyone hides something-even those you thought you knew best. Secrets bury themselves deeper, and trust unravels into suspicion. When she loses the man she believed would be her forever, her world fractures into grief, lies, and unanswered questions. And some answers are more dangerous than the questions themselves. A detective who asks too much. A friend who may know more than they admit. And a truth that could destroy everything. The real question is: how far would you go for what you want most? ⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄ ✎ this is a slow-burn, psychological mystery-thriller, a work of fiction ✎ please note that this story touches lightly on themes of same-gender affection and emotional connection. ✎ technically not proofread thanks for reading! unravel © 2025 TheShinks © all rights reservedComplete

The Traitor's Wife
My grief is a lie. His guilt a weapon. And remembering will destroy whoever I used to love. Maybe this was it. Maybe she had already crossed the line between the living and the lost. The thought of reuniting with Alexei, of seeing him again, wherever he was, felt less terrifying than stepping through that door to meet his killer. Death, at least, would have been merciful. Forget everything you think you know about mafia romance. This isn't a story about an innocent girl stumbling into a dangerous world. Claire lived in that world, she just can't remember how... or what it cost her. A love story where the deepest betrayal may be the one you inflict on yourself. Fair warning: this book will break you, reshape you, and leave you desperate for answers you're too afraid to face. ⚠️ Content Disclaimer ⚠️ This work contains mature themes and potentially triggering content, including but not limited to: violence, death, emotional abuse, manipulation, trauma, sexual tension, and morally complex relationships.
