A famous fashion editor-in-chief, Cassidy Vaughan, is reluctant to love again after a complicated love story in her twenties. 

Then comes a day where she hires a new assistant. Samantha is clumsy and awkward,  it is an odd way to say that she is actually very funny. 

It starts with a nod until it becomes a smile in the hallway. Then conversation sets in, until it slowly fades to friendship. Until it fades to romance. 

Isn't love bound to make you suffer, though?

50 parts Ongoing Mature
An angel and a rebel. A scholarship girl and a playgirl. When their worlds collide, sparks fly-and nothing will ever be the same. When Enid Jones-straight-A student and the perfect Islamic daughter-earns a scholarship to the prestigious Montrose Academy, she believes her life is finally falling into place. Her plan is simple: keep her head down, ace her classes, secure a scholarship to Yale, work a side job, and one day gain full custody of her younger sister from their abusive father. But trouble has other plans for Enid... and its name is Olivia Grayson. Carefree, rebellious, and notorious for breaking hearts, Olivia is Montrose Academy's golden girl. With her comes the infamous Golden Four, and a whirlwind of chaos Enid wants no part of. At least, that's what she tells herself. Because Olivia isn't just interested in Enid-she's made it her mission to strip away the saintly image everyone sees and uncover the fire hidden beneath. But what if it's Olivia's carefully crafted "bad girl" façade that begins to crumble first... all because of a certain brunette who was never supposed to matter? ๑ "After what you and your stupid friends did to me, isn't it enough? Do you really have to rub it in my face?" I snapped, my voice shaking with fury. Olivia just smirked, stepping closer until her warm minty breath fanned against my lips. My pulse went wild, betraying me. "I'm only just getting started, angel," she whispered in that husky voice of hers. "And I'll stop... the moment I hear you moan my name." ๑ An angel and a rebel. A scholarship girl and a playgirl. Can love survive when it's least expected-or will it destroy them both?

Borrowing him was supposed to be harmless. Falling for him? Not part of the deal. Everly Allen doesn't do love stories anymore. Not after watching one destroy everything she believed in. With her brother's wedding days away, a family obsessed with her relationship status, and a past she can't outrun, she makes a reckless decision. She borrows a man. A fake boyfriend. A distraction. Easton Hayes, tattooed, brooding, infuriatingly smug, is the last person she should've chosen. He's the CEO of Chrome Customs, her best friend's fiancé, and the man she once wanted so badly it nearly broke her. But Hailey insisted. She planned it. She pushed them together. Because Hailey always had a plan. What Everly doesn't know, what she's never supposed to find out, is that this isn't a harmless favor. It's a lie. One so carefully constructed it blurs the line between loyalty and betrayal. And the night before her brother's wedding, the truth starts to crack. Every look from Easton feels like a confession. Every touch feels like something borrowed. And every secret Hailey kept begins to unravel, one piece at a time. Because this fake relationship isn't fake at all. It's a slow burning fuse tied to a secret that could destroy them all. Some love stories start with a kiss. This one starts with a lie. And theirs might end with the one thing Everly never saw coming, goodbye. Because some love stories aren't just complicated, they're impossible. And the truth waiting at the end of theirs? It might be the most heartbreaking twist of all. Sometimes love begins with a lie. And ends with a goodbye. A slow burn, angsty fake dating romance about forbidden longing, buried truths, and the kind of betrayal that makes you question everything you thought was love.

Perpetual quitter Vera Kwan thinks she's got it made when her style blog catches the attention of narcissistic actor Carmen Juarez, but after egos ignite a gossip war, Vera has to learn to balance her flighty ambitions and her attraction to Carmen's prickly, gorgeous manager Sharise before her Hollywood dreams fall apart like a cheap polyester blouse. ***** It's not Vera Kwan's fault that she can't hold down a job. A fashion school dropout, she dreams of becoming a famous designer, but the life of a style influencer is more grind than glamour. She just needs one big break, one chance to prove her styles are red carpet worthy. When a snarky post about her celebrity crush Carmen Juarez catches the actor's attention, Vera wins her ticket to stardom. As Carmen's stylist, she sets out to prove that she's more than just pretty clothes and the right filters, and maybe even win the affections of Carmen's aloof manager, Sharise, who she quickly finds herself falling for. After a clever fashion stunt goes viral, Vera is suddenly the most sought-after stylist in Hollywood. She even gets a job offer from Carmen's rival. But her style success may not be getting her any closer to her designer dreams, and secrets are beginning to fray her sense of purpose. If Vera can't figure out what's important enough to see through to the end, even when it seems impossible, she risks losing both the professional relationship that made her and the romantic relationship that might be the one thing that matters to her as much as fashion. ***** Complete at 100k words. *featured on Wattpad's A Latte Love, #WrittenWithPride, From Our Stars, and In her words #IWD2020 reading lists* Cover by the incredible @AnnaofthePond

As they navigate sleepless nights, road trips, and the quiet moments in between, Sam begins to unravel the mystery behind Dani's guarded heart. But the closer she gets, the more she realizes some truths aren't just hidden, they're protected. And some love stories aren't safe but, they're worth the risk. In a world full of sharp edges, "Tried By Fire" is a story of slow burns, second chances, and what happens when two souls find each other in the dark.
