[COMPLETED] Kate's a serial dater, and she likes it that way. Free food,  guaranteed conversation, and best of all--no feelings. After years of hardship, she is perfectly content to roll through her life in mediocrity and fake personas.  But when a handsome waiter steps in on a particularly bad date, Kate's imagination runs wild and she follows him home, lured by his intense interest in her. She should have stuck to her rules, she should have run; Kate wasn't the only pretender in the city. Now stuck between curiosity and fear, she will have to decide what's more valuable: uncovering the secrets of her pursuer or her life. 

Author's Note: "Finding Kate" started out as a short story contest piece for Writer's Digest. After winning recognition by the magazine, and sharing it on my website, it quickly grew in popularity. What was supposed to be used as a fun writing exercise has blossomed into a sexy, fast paced, plot twister of a novella. Be prepared to laugh, gasp, and fall in love as you stay up to date with Kate here on Wattpad or on my site, Chase Your Darling.

But Monica McCaslin didn't think she would ever be one of those people, would ever have one of those moments. Brought up in a small suburb, with everything she could ever ask for, there wasn't much left for her to want. Monica's ordinary life was to go as such- follow her high school sweetheart to college, graduate, get married, have two kids; the cookie cutter life. White picket fence included. What she did not expect was to meet a dark-haired stranger sitting all alone on a park bench, at that very same school she was to attend with said future husband. After a brief conversation, just a handful of words between them, Monica decides to go on a cross-country road trip with him; putting her faith and future in the hands of a stranger. Thinking she'd soon regret her decision and the life she left behind, she realizes she doesn't at all. Free of expectation and a future that she thought was set in stone, she begins to find the woman she was truly meant to be. State by state, with each border they cross, Monica liberates her true self. π”Ήπ• π• π•œ βžƒ 𝕠𝕗 βžƒ - β„‚π• π•žπ•‘π•π•–π•₯𝕖 - ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ This is a work of fiction.

If Only

13 parts Complete

Set in modern day London, If Only opens with its central character, Olivia, making a pretty bold statement - "Women are delusional." Starting from age four, Olivia then begins to dissect her past failed relationships in order to finally discourage herself from believing in Hollywood style romances. Writing with brutal honesty, she reminisces over her first loves, one night stands, online dating history, the short affair she had with an ACTUAL millionaire, and finally the so-called love of her life, who has just walked out on her. Each chapter represents another phase in her life and another failed attempt at securing a movie worthy love story. Throughout the journey, the reader is privy to Olivia's views on life as a millennial, homosexuality, friendships, ambition, body confidence, and ultimately, love.
