'What if I was making the wrong choice again, picking the bad guy over the steady and reliable one? Because as I lay there in Steve's arms thinking about Brad, this became a very real choice...and the choice slowly become a decision. No matter how I looked at the situation, I wasn't shaking these new feelings. I had chosen Brad without meaning to, and laying with Steve suddenly felt wrong. Very, very, wrong. Like I was cheating, but he was the one I was engaged to!'
Paige accidentally discovers love the way it was meant to be with her fiance's ex-best friend as she pushes for them to reconcile the past, but the two seem destined to be star-crossed lovers as the unforeseen keeps Steve in her life. Brad is quiet, mysterious, always in control. His calming presence spreads through her soul like fire whiskey does in her body. Steve is steadfast, morally upright, dedicated, and simple.
She is also haunted by her traumatic history with Jay, and struggles to move beyond the abuse he put her through, which is affecting her relationship with Brad.
Paige wrestles with self-doubt, self-destruction, working through trauma, PTSD, grief, and loss. She is a beautiful and talented singer, with a charming and sweet personality, and encompasses a huge capacity for love in spite of how broken she has been.

Next Girl | 🥇 2023 Amby Winner
On steamy, hot summer days, the parched soil cracks like ice into jagged lines resembling lightning blowing up the midnight sky. Summer craves to be quenched and begs to feel the invigorating shower that only rain can douse. It takes what it can get from rain without considering the possibility of destruction. Rain is a necessary evil. It's prayed for yet cursed and hated. It brings forth destruction and life simultaneously. Rain is a refreshing sprinkle and an overwhelming flood. It's elusive, and it alone decides when and where to release its precipitation with no regard to the impact of its power. *** Summer breezed into McGrath's Pub like a breath of fresh air. Despite her miserable day and the tepid rain dampening the streets of Harrisburg, she lit up the bar with her bright smile the moment she entered. Rain is looking for a warm body to take to his bed. He spots Summer and immediately approaches her. She has no clue about his plans for her, and he's determined to bring those plans to fruition. Summer's heart and soul were destroyed by the torrential storm that is Rain Grant. Summer is determined not to let what happened to her happen to the "Next Girl." *** "Next Girl" I bet you probably met him at a bar Let him walk you to your car I bet he said he never fell this hard Yeah, I remember that part He knows how to say all the right things Knows how to get you outta that dress Knows how to make you think you're thе best thing But I know what happens next, girl Co-written and performed by Carly Pearce *** Cover by: @zmswift 1st Place 🥇 The Carnival Awards 2021 Chick-Lit Featured in WattpadShortStory's Realistic Fiction Reading List Qualified for Round 3 of the 2023 Amby AwardsComplete
Wounded Heart ✔
She loved him with devotion so fierce it scorched every heartbeat, every glance. He was her obsession, her reason to breathe, and her undoing. But while her world revolved around him, he remained distant-a presence, never hers. "How do you let go of someone who is the air in your lungs and the ache in your heart?" "He is my breath, and I will forget him when I forget to breathe." Memories burned bright and untouchable-hers alone. She clung to each haunted fragment, every echo of forbidden love. Until fate, honouring a promise to Aashi, forced her into the arms of the man whose heart was a graveyard. "I married you to fulfil her last wish. You will never belong here." His words cut deep-cold, calculated, meant to wound. Cruelty hid his storm. Her silence was her weapon, her pain a fortress. "You think you know pain?" she spat, her eyes blazing. "I live it every day." He turned away, fists clenched. "You don't belong. This will never be your home." Yet, in their grief and fury, sparks flew, igniting something dangerous. "Love and hate are two sides of the same burning coin." When apologies come too late, and regret drowns truth, love risks turning to ash. She walks away, her heart in ruins. He falls, shattered-vowing to bleed, to burn, to reignite the fire in her eyes. "Some hearts are forged in fire. Some burn to ashes." Even if it destroys him. 📅 Start Date: 28th October 2019 ⏳ End Date: 23rd October 2020 ✏️ Edited Date: 2026Complete

Thornes : Alderbrook
Trigger Warnings: Abuse, Intense Taboo, Romantic Themes, Family Secrets, Brandon Thorne doesn't lose. At 38, he's untouchable-ruthless, paranoid, and completely fucking insane. Men fear him. His enemies crumble. He built his empire with his bare hands, crushed anyone in his way. But now, standing in a seedy bar, watching the girl on stage with too much attitude and not enough shame, he sees what he missed. Willa Whitmore. Brandon locked her parents away without a second thought. Never even checked if they had a kid. Oops. Now she's here, shaking her ass for cash, glaring like she'd stab him if given the chance. And fuck, he likes it. Willa Whitmore is not impressed. First, the bastard ruins her life. Now he's sitting at the bar, drinking whiskey like he didn't single-handedly destroy her entire existence. And worse? He's staring. Like he wants to eat her alive. She should run, but then come his idiot sons. Complete freakshows. Otto and Max. Otto is all brawn, zero impulse control, a psycho with a chainsaw grin. Willa swears he gets off on making her scream. Max is quieter, smarter, but twice as fucked up. If Otto is a feral dog, Max is the one watching her sleep, planning her funeral, and picking out the music. Brandon wants to own her. Otto wants to break her. Max? He just wants to keep her. Forever. Maybe in a basement. So she plays along-smiles, obeys, acts like she isn't plotting their destruction. But the more time she spends with them, the harder it gets. Because the Thornes might be completely, irredeemably insane... but maybe Willa is, too.Complete
