Running away from her abusive and troubled past, Rosa Moore ends up in Ashwick Wharf with nothing but the clothes on her back, her backpack and a calico cat she found just outside of town. She ends up working at the local bakery, Bluebell's, where she meets the good looking baker who doubles as an artist, his persistent best friend who's determined to help Rosa whether she likes it or not, the owner of the bakery who has a troubled past of her own, as well as a troubled present, and the regular customer who seem's to know everyone and everything.
With everyone in town determined to either help her or expose her, a boy Rosa is sure is determined to screw everything up for, an absentee father showing up, a mysterious trio and their almost equally mysterious employee's, holiday festivals and a very rude neighbor, Ashwick Wharf might have been just the wrong place for Rosa to come to, or it might have been just the right place for her to live.

Second Ave Series: Ac-Counting on You (WLW)
Agoraphobic Gwen Murray was scarred in a freak accident in her youth that left her with burns on around twelve percent of her body and many years of ridiculing bullying from not only children, but adults alike. With a history as such, it's no surprise that she isn't very well adjusted to going outdoors. However, as fearful as she is to face the relentless torment once again, she hates feeling as if her life is on permanent standby. All she's ever desired is true happiness -- don't we all -- and with words of encouragement from not only her therapist, but her little brother as well, she is ready to take another step forward. Although, what she hadn't expected was the person who out of nowhere joined her stark journey. Bookstore and cafe owner Michal "Brook" Bluestone was raised mostly in Israel, though her parents desired a full life for her and moved them to join a bulk of their family in the US upon her coming out. Years later, she has two thriving businesses, a giant family only an hours drive away and a network of friends. There's only one thing missing from her life -- love -- and now more than ever, she is ready to find what she deems her "forever girl" with how well life is going. Still, after using dating apps and all encounters failing, she fears love may not be in the cards for her until a skittish woman walks into her cafe, forever changing her world.

After her mom spirals deeper into addiction and lands in rehab, Abigail is sent to live with the last person she ever wanted to see: her dad. The same dad who walked out years ago-and is now playing house with his young, pretty girlfriend, Anna. Abby doesn't do new beginnings. She's barely holding it together as it is. Between her body issues, her anxiety, and a closet full of oversized hoodies, she just wants to disappear. But then she shows up. 𝘋𝘰𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘺 𝘓𝘢𝘯𝘦. Rich, untouchable, a little too perfect for someone who just got kicked out of her elite prep school. With her designer bags, perfect grades, and that permanent smirk, Dorothy looks like the kind of girl who eats girls like Abby for breakfast. They start off enemies-cutting, sneering, daring each other to break first. But the lines blur fast. The fights get hotter, the stares get darker, and every touch-accidental or not-leaves a spark. Because underneath the anger and the pain, there's something dangerous brewing: a craving neither of them understands but can't resist. Hate. Obsession. Lust. Maybe even love.

Driven to Distraction
Alex Thompson was due to marry her high school sweet heart Eric Ramirez. Period. That's it. It's about as exciting as her life ever got really. She had a job, a good job but an unconscious reality was that she was bored. She had her back blown out once every three months, if that, and an overbearing mother who made her life hell. *enter Mitch* Eve 'Mitch' Mitchell. An outgoing, strong minded, independent, raging homosexual, lover to all, charming British soul. They meet by accident after a tough day at the office for Alex. A mistaken identity was all it took for a tiny little kiss. A moment blown all out of proportion for the Christian-bred Miss Thompson and her life turns more miserable than she anticipated for every time she turned around...Mitch was there behind her. Something about Mitch was new and fresh and her soul was just what Alex needed (little did she know). Secrets from the past are brought to the surface. A sad ending to a young lady's life. A realisation that family isn't always blood related. Alcohol isn't a medicine. Violence isn't a key. Hearts were never meant to be broken. Two things to take away: you never know what is going on in someone's head and the most important thing...you never know what happens behind closed doors. A/N just a random story about two people who meet accidentally. Plays with gender norms and very inclusive of LGBTQ (being a member myself). Could be triggering I'm not sure as some identity questions are thrown around. It does include smoking, drinking, some homophobia, profanities, violence and smut. Also anything in brackets with A/N means authors note and that's just me leaving a little comment. Enjoy...Complete
Heart Lessons (WlW)
Sometimes the best lessons aren't learned in class, they're felt in the heart. Riley Hale's life runs on caffeine, chaos, and cupcake batter. At twenty-eight, she's mastered the art of single motherhood, sarcasm, and pretending she's totally fine that her love life has been replaced by late-night cleaning montages and her eight-year-old's existential questions. Then one morning, a frosty stranger in a perfect beige coat walks into The Sweet Spot bakery and straight into Riley's list of "people I will never impress." After one spilled coffee and a mortifying apology later, Riley is convinced she'll never see the woman again. Until the next day, when she meets her daughter's new fifth-grade teacher... Miss Emerson Miller. What follows is a year of accidental flirtations, school-event disasters, and late-night bake-offs that blur the line between enemies, friends, and something sweeter. Because sometimes love doesn't show up when you plan it - it spills all over your shoes and dares you to start over. A slow-burn, small-town romantic comedy about second chances, messy mornings, and discovering that the best lessons aren't always taught in classrooms.Complete
