Twenty-nine-year-old Lindsey Rose has, for as long as she can remember, lived in the shadow of her ravishingly beautiful fraternal twin sister, Alex. Determined to get noticed, Lindsey is finally on the cusp of being named VP creative director of an elite New York advertising agency, after years of eighty-plus-hour weeks, migraines, and profound loneliness. But during the course of one devastating night, Lindsey’s carefully constructed life implodes. Humiliated, she flees the glitter of Manhattan and retreats to the time warp of her parents’ Maryland home. As her sister plans her lavish wedding to her Prince Charming, Lindsey struggles to maintain her identity as the smart, responsible twin while she furtively tries to piece her career back together. But things get more complicated when a long-held family secret is unleashed that forces both sisters to reconsider who they are and who they are meant to be.

Anonymously Yours
This is a continuation from Pucking Brave. It's encouraged to read Pucking Brave book one and two before starting reading this. Willow has been surrounded by hockey, fame, fans, and attention all her life. Not only because of her two famous fathers, and everything that happened with their love story with her mom, but also because of River. Her twin. Not every book is as it seems from the cover and Willow's life has been anything but glamorous. Her world has been filled with silence and pain. No true friends, no love interests, only her books to keep her company. Everyone wants a piece of her, but only to get closer to her siblings or parents, never for herself. Willow joins an anonymous social app in order to find some friends, at least a friend who doesn't know her family, her past, and only wants her. This will be a dual POV story. Please note that this is a rough draft and is still a work in progress. Highest Ranking 162 - Twins 536 - Whychoose

web of hearts
After years of living with rheumatoid arthritis, 34-year-old Rose has spent most of her life in the shadows of her own dreams. A career working with children with special educational needs, while fulfilling, left her exhausted and feeling disconnected from the world outside her job. Now, at a crossroads, Rose decides to leave behind the bustling city and move to the quiet countryside, where she can be closer to family, heal, and start over. Taking a new job as a nanny in a small village, Rose is drawn into a life she never expected-one where love and connection aren't as simple as she once thought. There, she meets Emmy, a spirited young girl with a heart full of questions, and her two uncles, each holding secrets and scars of their own. Luc is the charismatic, protective uncle with a past he's determined to keep hidden. He's everything Rose has ever wanted in a partner-warm, supportive, but there's a darkness behind his smile she can't quite place. Then there's Adam, the other uncle, who struggles with trust and vulnerability. He's been hurt before, and opening up to anyone feels like a risk he's unwilling to take, even if Rose feels drawn to him in a way she doesn't understand. As Rose begins to navigate her own fears of connection, love, and healing, she must decide what she's willing to risk-and whether she's ready to embrace the complexities of a life that's as beautifully tangled as the relationships she's slowly beginning to unravel.مكتمِلة
To Crave a Raven
Abandoned by her mother and orphaned by her father, Jeden was left behind, the oldest of her sisters. She'd dedicated her life to looking after them; but now they've grown up, they've found their partners, they're moving on... and Jeden remains. Exactly where she's always been - working her days away at the restaurant just to return home to her silent, lonely apartment. Jeden longed for a partner, a family, a home; but she knew it wasn't in the cards. She was thirty-two and had never been asked on a date - for it seemed opinionated women with severe limps and glasses that looked like binoculars weren't exactly stealing the spotlight in any sane man's fantasies. Jeden was strong, self-assured... but she was also realistic, and exhausted. To shake things up, she made a decision on a whim to buy the home she'd always wanted in the suburbs. But instead of raining men, she suddenly developed a much less appetizing problem - a fucking HOA. Sick and tired of accepting the hand life dealt, she agrees to team up with her chatty neighbor to fight back against the resident egomaniacs... However, she never thought it would lead to feelings she'd never experienced or ignite a passion she didn't know existed. And as soon as she began to give in... to accept the exhilarating, wondrous experience of being craved... it culminated in a fallout that Jeden, in her trusting naivety, could have never seen coming. ---- Raven Sisters Novellas: (1) To Regret a Raven - complete (2) To Destroy a Raven - complete (3) To Betray a Raven - complete (4) To Crave a Raven - complete (5) To Lose a Raven - coming Fall 2025 Though these stories are connected, they can each be read as a standalone.
