Yours Truly
[Copyright © 2014] In 1943, Charlotte Truly is a nineteen-year-old American nurse serving in World War II. The oldest of four daughters, Charlotte is mostly a shy and reserved girl who keeps to herself. But when Charlotte meets William McCaden, an injured soldier on leave whom she'd briefly met when she was seventeen, she finds herself falling inexplicably in love. When Will is shipped overseas to Nazi-occupied France to fight in a deadly combat mission, Charlotte and Will have only their letters to keep each other close... but in the midst of war, how can love possibly survive? ----- DISCLAIMER: This work was written when I, Raine the author, was 14 years old (circa 2014) and is a FIRST DRAFT. Certain aspects of this story are highly problematic and should rightfully be called out. Please do bear in mind, however, that the entirety of what you see here was written (unedited) by a 14-year-old girl. Now, I as a 20-year-old writing student am fully aware of my mistakes and would like to apologize profusely for them. They are not reflective of my present character by any means and I can assure you that I FULLY condemn the slut-shaming, misogyny, white saviorism, racism, and the general oversimplification of vastly complex themes and historical contexts you might see in Yours Truly (2014). As much as I would like to chalk it all up to being a sign of the times (the very backwards 1940s), I understand now how I should have handled this particular time period with more tact and discretion. Especially with how I recklessly portrayed the horrific racial climate of the 1940s American South. Again, I am very sorry and can wholeheartedly promise you that any later drafts of Yours Truly would 100% rework all of these themes and contexts with the utmost of consideration towards the communities they affect directly. Thank you. -Raine, Feb. 11/2021Complete

Will his healer become the love of his life? Or will their differences part them for good? (I do not use AI for cover art or writing. All ideas are original)
Guarded Heart (OCxKimKardashian)
**Spin-off from Love and Touchdowns** Jay Mitchell is a Navy SEAL Master Chief and a history maker. The first female and first intersex team leader in SEAL history, she built her name on precision, control, and a reputation that leaves no room for weakness. On missions, she's untouchable. Off duty, she keeps everything locked down just as tight. Her past taught her how to survive, not how to trust. The only people inside her walls are her Bravo Team, her second-in-command Sonny "Tex" Quinn, and Danny, a retired Marine sniper who runs Dead Center, an elite gun range where Jay trains and finds rare moments of calm with her rescue pit bull, Gunner. Everything shifts when Kim Kardashian walks into Dead Center. Already connected with Danny and preparing for an FBI role, Kim is sent there for real tactical training. Jay wants no part of it, but against her better judgment, she takes the assignment. What starts as strictly professional begins to blur as Kim proves she's tougher, more determined, and more real than Jay ever expected. As training pushes them both past their limits, Jay is forced to face the walls she built to survive and the possibility that connection, healing, and love might still exist beyond the battlefield.
