But at 25, she was fired from her dream job, her 5-year boyfriend turned into an abusive bastard, and she feared that a few months later, she'd be out in the streets homeless.
But as everything in her life went from bright to bleak, a black notebook fell from a stranger one rainy afternoon.
With her new job at Lenny's bakery a few blocks away, the conviction to break up with her abusive boyfriend, and a certain Timothy, the owner of the black notebook, where will she stand in her serpentine life?

Unwritten, Until You!
The Pen that wrote Us -signed with a smirk Unwritten, Until You! "If I ever had to choose between breathing and loving you-I'd use my last breath to say your name."

He never understood why Ariya Reeves walked away from him five years ago. She left without a word, without a reason. Just a whispered warning-stay away. Now, she's back. But the woman standing in front of him isn't the same. Her walls are higher. Her eyes carry secrets. And the man standing beside her? The same man who spent years poisoning their love and turning everything into a psychological game. Ryan spent his career fixing broken minds. But nothing prepared him for this. Because the truth about why she left is darker than he ever imagined. Because some wounds aren't meant to heal. And because the real enemy? Might not be the one he's been fighting. Some betrayals are calculated. Some love stories don't get second chances. Some minds? Are dangerous enough to destroy everything. And some enemies? They were never strangers to begin with.Complete
