Penelope Eliza-Marie McDouglson was just a normal 12-year old girl. She loved to read dictionaries and encyclopedias, write letters to deceased heroes , play Barbies with her dog Sherlock and watch the news- "strictly the political side, everything else is garbage".

When problems start to tear apart the dear family, she tries to embark on an adventure in order to fix the past and make the future a brighter place. It's not an easy journey- it's never easy in the movies so why would it be easy in a book? *P.S.

Indecorous
(18+ EXPLICIT CONTENT) "Attract a lot of attention, huh beautiful?" His voice hit me like a wall, absurdly catching me off guard. It was deep, sensual, something any girl (or boy) could melt over. I was sort of speechless, yet trying my best to appear unafflicted. "Only the wrong ones." That was definitely drunken me talking, as I didn't usually have that much confidence. His lips twitched up into a smirk, expressing that he understood my comment. "Does that mean that I'm in that category?" My palms began to grow sweaty and my heart rate picked up, but otherwise my body remained relaxed, appearing completely fine. It similar to when you're on autopilot, completely withdrawn due to intoxication. "I suppose not," I crossed my arms, putting on this seductive persona just for him. This fueled his smirk, about to murmur another comment before I cut him off. "You'll have to show me, though." *** Amelia Hollis was a 23-year-old writer at one of the local publishing companies, assisting a very handsome man and writing articles left and right. Her and her best friend, Aviary, lived together in a cute little apartment off the central part of the city, yearning to create new memories and important moments. Amelia always lived for the moments, taking in every little detail and savoring it like it was her favorite meal. She was an optimist, hoping to change peoples lives with her dreams. James Vallette was a 34-year-old CEO, building his company from dirt with the help of his brother. He was a realist, not really having time to deal with dreams or even love. He knew this the night he laid eyes on Amelia. It was only casual; what harm could a one-night stand do? Oh yeah, he's her dad's boss.Complete
Finding Penelope
A chance encounter in the park changes everything. Sarah, a psychologist, meets Penelope, a little girl navigating a world that hasn't been kind. As their lives intertwine, Sarah discovers echoes of her own childhood in Penelope's laughter, her sadness, and her courage. A story about healing, connection, and the fragile threads that tie our past and present together. Note: ✨ As part of my therapy journey, I decided to start writing a book. It's a mix of real-life memories and events blended with a fictional storyline .. so while pieces are inspired by my experiences/ memories, the story itself isn't fully based on true events. Writing has been both fun and deeply therapeutic for me, and I've been using ChatGPT to help with the editing along the way. I more or less know where I'd like the story to go, but since this is my very first attempt at writing a book, I'd love your feedback so I can adapt and grow my chapters as I go. 🥰
Crimson Ties
Penelope Aurelian thought college life would be predictable-late-night study sessions, awkward presentations, and maybe the occasional crush. She never imagined her world would collide with someone like Ash Valemont. Mysterious, elegant, and a little too perfect to be real, Ash is hiding a secret far darker than she can imagine-he's a vampire. One who's spent years blending into the human world, surviving on animal blood and the occasional human meal, thanks to his bodyguard-assigned by his powerful vampire parents to keep him under control. Unlike others of his kind, Ash doesn't kill. He adapts. He blends in. But when Penelope steps into his life, something inside him begins to crack. She awakens a hunger he thought he buried long ago-a thirst not just for blood, but for her. And when that craving grows stronger, only her kiss... her touch... can calm the storm threatening to consume him. As dangerous enemies from Ash's past begin to target her, Penelope is thrust into a world of secrets, obsession, and ancient power. And soon, she'll have to decide: Can she survive loving a vampire whose darkness is just waiting to be unleashed? Disclaimer: This story is AI-generated with my own original ideas and creative input.

Destined By Fate
Kendall has always lived a quiet life in a small town in Illinois with her family, friends, and boyfriend Jordan. Her life had been mostly happy other than when her best friend moved away when she was 10. It took her years to get over that loss. Then several years later, tragedy struck when her father passed away suddenly and Kendall was forced to move with her mom closer to Chicago where she could find a job to support the two of them. Little does Kendall know that she is in for the surprise of a lifetime. From the book.... As he catches up to me, he grabs my arm swings me around and with one swift movement he ushers me into a nearby empty classroom with the lights off. He cages me in against the wall. His close proximity is making me dizzy and my mind is thinking very dirty thoughts. Wait no. I can't think like that anymore. "Kendall." He says hungrily. "You are mine and only mine. You drive me wild and no one else can have you." He says as he attacks my lips. It feels so amazing I can't help but kiss him back. I run my hands through his beautiful hair and he groans into the kiss. Man I don't want this to ever end. I feel drunk on him. I don't think I can let him go. He stops suddenly to finish his thoughts. "No one can make you feel like this. Or kiss you here...." He says as he kisses down my neck. I moan and he smirks pulling his face impossibly close to mine. "..or touch you." He says as he takes his hand and brushes it lightly down my arm and he snakes it back around my back pulling me even closer if that is possible. He finally stops at my ass which he squeezes delightfully and I hum in response. Warning: Contains graphic sexual content. Read at your own discretion. You will not be warned ahead of time.
