"I'm not okay," she blurted. He was silent. "People say it all the time. 'How are you? Are you okay?' And I lie, Evan. I'm not okay. I'm - I'm alone. I don't care-"
"You do," he insisted. "If someone were to betray you, badly, wouldn't it hurt?"
...
A wave swept ashore, the sound reaching her past the noiseless barrier that had flung up around them. Evan opened his eyes, his green gaze searing into hers, and El's lips trembled more.
"No. Because I wouldn't let anyone get close enough for it to hurt."
She turned, and started toward the cruise. Alone.

The 3 Tides to find her
She didn't think she mattered. Not in a world that called her too loud, too soft, too much, or not enough. Forty, overlooked, and worn thin by heartbreak, she boards a cruise she never meant to win-seven nights on a ship she never expected would change her life. But fate has other plans. Three mysterious men. One missing girl. A dance beneath the stars. And a darkness that's been watching from the shadows. Solace. Axel. Jude. Each man is pulled toward her without knowing why. Each carries secrets that could unravel everything. As the ship sails through moonlit waters, tension deepens, sparks ignite, and a dangerous game begins-one that might cost more than just hearts. Caught between who she was and who she's becoming, she'll have to decide: Will she let herself be seen? Loved? Chosen? Because someone else is watching. And they don't want her to survive. A romantic suspense full of mystery, devotion, and the quiet power of finally being enough.Complete
Hope
Kate was used to dealing with unfair consequences. Having a less than ideal home life and no one else to support her, she had learned to deal with things on her own. She had learned not to feel and especially not to hope. So when someone new comes into her life Kate does the best thing she can think of, she shuts them out. But, after a series of events in the course of one day, they are thrown back together, and Kate is given the chance to explain herself. Explain why she was so guarded and why she had closed herself off in the first place. And maybe along the way Kate learns that things aren't always so bad. That feeling and hoping aren't the worst things in the world. ***Warning: Mention of abuse is included in this story. Please don't read if that is a trigger for you in any way.

Ultraviolence
Things just come and go. Things pass by so fast you don't stop to look at what's happening. That's until you start to realize what's happening isn't right. ········· My husband isn't the person you think he is. It's all an act. He plays it well too. People would never believe me if I told them who he really is, they'd laugh. How he treats me isn't right, but I can't tell. Nobody would believe me. Nobody would help me. I fear what will happen if I tell. ········· "Please Elena just listen to me. Or face my consequences." Reece yells. I jump like a child that was just caught having more candy than their allowed. "Get in. Now!" He's right in my face, but I don't blink. I don't dare make a move, frightened for what's about to happen. But that's just the beginning. Cover done by: @purplepenguinnComplete
Silence And Honey
Silence and Honey I talked enough for both of us. He listened like he might never let go. Runerth Castellion was the boy with the sharpest eyes and the quietest heart. He didn't talk much-didn't smile much either. But he always showed up. For me. I had known him since we were twelve. Since I decided I was going to be his friend, whether he wanted one or not. I was the chatterbox play school teacher who sings songs about dinosaurs and glue sticks. He was the grumpy heir to a mafia empire no one talks about out loud and a CEO of a heritage company. We were never meant to fit but we did and we did not at the same time. All that until the fate tested us. Tested me. In a world where healing feels impossible, our bond became a refuge, a promise that no matter how dark the night, dawn was waiting. This is a story about the strength found in vulnerability, the power of a patient heart, and the beautiful, messy journey toward a love that saves.

The Good Nightmare
The once familiar world turned into a dark tunnel of mystery the day Kate heard the words "Kill her!" she shouted. "Yes...!!!" Yes...!!! Yes...!!!!!!!!! Well played!' Kate's eyes widened, and her skin turned pale; fright was written all over her face. She ran out, slamming the door. Uncovering the truth to her eight years of suffering, Kate has gone insane. Reminded of her trauma, she ran fast; her pace increased, and she ran and ran... to the near park until she was out of breath. Luckily the park is abandoned, so there wasn't anyone else besides Kate. "The cause of the traumatic experience is one's selfish desire... no... obsession!!" Kate sat at a corner on a bench, catching up her breath and trembling. She was sweating all over. She wouldn't stop shivering. The truth of that incident: her family tried to kill her? Why?!! Back then, eight years ago, that incident changed her life; the truth is harsher and fiercer.
Don't Forget Me
Lux thought she knew exactly how this cruise would go: two weeks of awkward family dinners, no cell service, and way too much time to overthink the silence from the boy who stopped choosing her. She planned to keep her head down, her heart guarded, and her nose buried in a book. Then Colt stole it-and tossed it into the ocean with a smirk that would ruin everything. He's infuriating. Impossible. Completely unexpected. And exactly what she needed. From midnight conversations and stolen tequila to the kind of kisses that leave her breathless, Colt slowly becomes the person Lux didn't know she was waiting for. And maybe it's only supposed to last two weeks-but it's starting to feel like more. Because some people don't just pass through your life. Some people sink in. Stay. Change everything. And maybe, if she's brave enough, this cruise won't be where it ends. Maybe... it's just where it begins. - still being edited - - started 7.10.23- -finished 5.30.25- -Tropes: Forced close proximity Summer fling/romance Love at first sightComplete

The Idea Of You
"I'll leave you alone." His words filled the tormenting silence, "After tonight you won't have to see me again, only in class and that's it." My heart ached at his words, why? This should be a good thing, I wouldn't have to deal with Alejandro Rodriguez ever again. So why... Why does the thought of him not being around hurt. I stopped playing with my food and slowly lifted my head to look at him. He stared straight into my watery eyes. His face filled with regret and concern. He stood up from his seat and walked over to me, squatting down to my level. "Hey, hey." He softly whispered his hands holding both of my mines, softly caressing them with his thumb. "Please don't cry, por favor." He reached a hand to my face and gently wiped the tears. "I-I don't want you to leave me alone." My voice breaking and my vision filling with tears.
