I started writing New York City as an homage to my years there. In the process it has developed into a work in progress. It allows me to remember some fantastic moments yet play on the over the top possibilities that New York City offers us all.
"I look out the window and I see the lights and the skyline and the people on the street rushing around looking for action, love, and the world's greatest chocolate chip cookie, and my heart does a little dance." - Nora Ephron
"There is no question that there is an unseen world. The problem is, how far is it from midtown and how late is it open?" - Woody Allen
"London is satisfied, Paris is resigned, but New York is always hopeful. Always it believes that something good is about to come off, and it must hurry to meet it." - Dorothy Parker
A city so diverse it needs a section for quotes alone...

Cynical Souls
COMPLETED✅ Two high school teenagers finding themselves, analyzing this ever changing world, and building love. This is the type of love you wish you found in high school but probably know way too well that it only exists as fiction. Today I'm turning my fiction to reality. ❣️•••❣️ Excerpt: Just as I was about to seek shelter under some building's roof, the tires of a car come to a halt, I wonder who might pity the lonely girl walking in the rain. The passenger window rolls down, and I spot the most unexpected person seated behind the wheel. "Get in" comes out his voice, and I must've stood there agape for a few moments because next comes his rhetorical question. "Are you getting in or continuing walking in the rain?" Eyebrows raised expectantly. He sounds annoyed, like he regrets his decision to ever stop and help me. ❣️•••❣️ #5 in cynical #2 in loveandfriendship #1 in opinionated #4 in ihatelife #10 in nerdgirl #10 in HighschoolRomance #26 in GoodGirlBadBoy *contains mature themes. *contains cursing.Dokončeno

BROKEN HOPE (Lucas & Emilia Book 2)
I was so damn naive it's no wonder I've ended up here. Kidnapped by the man who promised me forever, just as I'd begun to understand the depths of his betrayal. It's a sad truth I didn't marry my husband for love. I married him for the life he promised to provide, and if I'm honest with myself, I married him in hopes one day he'd fill the void Lucas-my first love-left behind. Now after so many years, they're both back. And in my desperation to feel loved, to be wanted and chosen I've walked straight into this trap. All because I forgot life's harshest lesson... I'm not enough. No matter how much or how fiercely I love, the choice will never be me. Especially now. Surrounded by danger and at the mercy of my husband's enemies, I'm forced to face one final bit of truth. Much like love, hope is for the weak. I was a fool to believe in the vows and promises they made. In the Broken Redemption Series, one man's vow to protect the woman he lost becomes a battle between redemption, forgiveness, and the kind of love that refuses to let go. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is Book 2 of Lucas & Emilia's Broken Redemption arc. For the complete experience, start with Book 1: Broken Vows.Dokončeno

Body Paint (Harry Styles AU)
**** sequel to Note To Self. Paint my skin with yours, make me new. Make me beautiful, make me art. Make me whole. A runaway, some would say. New York City, big, noisy, and filled with so much opportunity one could get lost in it all. Harry finds himself sleeping in past noon in southern Manhattan when he escapes home in a desperate attempt to discover himself, and to get a true shot at love with a strawberry blonde that, sometimes, still wants nothing to do with him. In a sequel to Note To Self, Harry struggles to push himself into true adulthood after spending a lifetime never once being left to figure things out on his own. With sleepless nights from too much city light and noise, spending too much time indoors, he finds himself frozen in time when it becomes obvious he'd left home to pursue a future that doesn't exist in a big city. Pouring piping hot cups of espresso for tired NYU students and serving New York's most delicious blueberry muffins, he becomes complicit with merely existing alongside someone who, still, does not love him back, and eventually, even that isn't enough to make him feel whole. This is the story of how a stubborn, hotheaded green eyed girl learns to share, and how Harry learns it's okay to be selfish. "Maybe we'll grow, maybe we'll learn, and maybe it'll be okay, but it won't be home. Home is comfortable. We aren't here to be comfortable."

DESIRE AFTER THE RAIN
Two hearts that never sought love somehow found themselves in its crossfire. Desire had always been hungry not for a hand to hold, not for whispered promises, but for success that would make her name matter. Every choice she made, every risk she took, was fueled by that relentless fire burning inside her. Love was a luxury she couldn't afford. Rowan, meanwhile, lived tethered to a ghost. His heart belonged to someone who had walked out of his life but never left his memory. He wasn't looking for another; he was only surviving, counting the days in quiet solitude, haunted by what once was. And then Desire appeared a spark he didn't expect, a force he didn't know he needed. They collided, brushed against each other's edges, and for a moment, it seemed like something could bloom. But they both knew better. Desire could not pause for love, and Rowan could not unchain his past. while Rowan thought he had lost Desire to ambition, and Desire believed Rowan was lost to memory, neither realized that in their fleeting connection, they had already changed each other. Desire's fire had awakened a part of Rowan he thought was buried forever, and Rowan's quiet depth had given Desire a glimpse of something more than hunger. Did Desire ever find a reason to love, or was success always enough to fill the emptiness inside her? Did Rowan finally let go of the ghost of his past, or did it follow him quietly, like a shadow he could never shake?
Love At First Sight | Completed ✓
"It's the first time I've ever felt such warmth - it made me feel like, I've been living with coldness within me all these years. I opened my eyes and turned around, wondering if anyone felt the same or if anyone saw the reaction I made. I looked at the church again - now I'm more curious than ever and I think I should just ask God what exactly happened to me just a while ago, here at the entrance of Saint Gregory the Great Parish." If your brain refuses to remember, will your heart tell you everything you need to know? And if fate refuses the idea of you being together, will love be enough to hold on and never let go? A story about the beauty and magic that comes with love, alongside the painful decisions we need to make just to fulfill our promises of 'I Love yous' and 'Forevers'Dokončeno
