All Noah Valentine wants is to be independent. Having passed twenty, he decides it's time to be an adult and take on some responsibilities, so he ends up moving away and working two jobs. Being a clerk at a grocery store is just one of his ways to make ends meet, but his job as a bartender at a club is turning into so much more. The vibrant nature of that place is what Noah needs to feel alive and his co-workers are fast becoming his new best friends. And then there's Dex - the owner's brother and a guy Noah begins to crave as more than a friend. The problem is, Dex doesn't seem to reciprocate.
Dexter Bailey used to be a generally happy guy. He had his beloved adopted brother Ash, his best friend Caleb, and his friend-turned-lover Julian. But after Julian betrays him and breaks his heart, Dex is careful to never fall in love again. That changes after a stranger saves his life - a stranger who Dex soon finds out is the new bartender at his brother's club. As Dex's attraction to Noah grows, his walls begin to crumble and he starts to wonder if he could ever trust another lover. Then Julian comes back, begging for one more chance and reminding Dex of all the hardship a romantic relationship could bring.
Will Noah manage to prove to Dex that a chance at love is worth risking your heart?

Mary Sue Hasn't a Clue (gl)
*Note: This story is only rated mature according to Wattpad guidelines, and I am unable to change the rating, but as the author, I can assure you that such a label for this story is DRAMATIC. There is no smut or explicit content in my story, just maybe some inappropriate scenarios, but nothing rated R. The world is cruel, and Dareen Abu feels helpless. She's just going with the flow of what society tells her to do: go to college, get your degree, and work for the rest of your life like a robot. But her mind is always on her dreams: becoming a writer, finding love, and not having to worry about her finances. Writing is her safe haven. She utterly adores romance and fantasies about it all day, inserting herself in her character's shoes for some thrill in her rather boring life. Though her life is a lot greater than most people's, she notices her family's struggles. They came into the country with only a bag of items, after all; however, after seventeen years, they still haven't been able to break free from the minimum wage cage. Not to mention that getting a job nowadays is harder than ever, which she's personally seen her father struggle with. After six months, he finally lands a job, but it's another nursing home driving job that he isn't getting paid well for. What he is good at is cooking. He may not be primarily passionate about it in this given moment since he's been in survival mode for the past seventeen years, but perhaps a cushy private chef job where rich people let him experiment with all kinds of organic goods and in return eat Michelin-star-worthy food, for which he gets paid well, would be a win-win situation for everyone. But just how will Dareen help her father get a better job? And little does she know that perhaps she may benefit from her pursuit to help him. Dive into Dareen's journey by giving this story a good read to find out just what happens to her and her family... and her heart?
Triple Threat
Please note: this is a story about a poly triad, three folks who fall in love - it is absolutely not a love triangle jealousy story (except literally, as they are all in love in a triangular fashion). James is a teacher at the local evening school, teaching creative writing as he tries to get his own writing published. Robbie is a student in the class, starting afresh after abandoning their family's Big Plan for their life. The two haven't seen each other in eight years, not since the night of their school prom where Robbie rejected James' heartfelt admission of love. Robbie is now out and proud as a non-binary bisexual person, and ready to see if those feelings have persisted. Tension begins to bubble as James gets flustered over Robbie's new life, while Robbie tries to cheekily make up for past mistakes. There's just one problem; James' long-term partner, Fraser. Robbie curses their bad luck - of all the men in the world, James had to pick an attractive, charming, attentive, wonderful boyfriend. But when Fraser indicates that he's open to something a little more *open*, Robbie and James are intrigued. Neither of them had ever considered something outside monogamy, but it certainly sounds interesting... Will Robbie be able to clear their head and figure out their feelings for the two? Will James be able to let Robbie back into his life? Will Fraser welcome Robbie fully into their relationship? Join these three adorable cinnamon rolls as they navigate a beautiful poly relationship together. MATURE BOOK: this book is SPICY and by spicy, I mean I whacked an entire spice rack into it. There will be SO much spice.Complete
