She yearns for true love, a love that is as profound and reciprocated as the fairy tales she grew up reading.

Just as Josie begins to lose hope, she reunites with Alex Beldor , a strikingly handsome and enigmatic man who seems to embody everything she's been waiting for. But as their paths intertwine, Josie must navigate her fears and insecurities, learning to trust and open her heart once more.
"How I View Men" is a heartfelt tale of resilience, hope, and the magical journey of finding the love that is meant to be.

Don't Fall in Love with the Flirt
WARNING! Don't fall in love with the flirt. You're bound to get your heart broken... Growing up, Jasmine Lopez has always been the pretty one. Her stunning features and natural charm have made all the boys flock at her feet and all the other girls hate her. She's that girl who'll steal your date and make your boyfriend's eyes stray. But here's a secret - Jasmine is not the consummate flirt everyone believes her to be. All the guys she dates only see her as a challenge and not as girlfriend material. So she dates a lot but never commits to one guy. It's her way of pushing them away and keeping her heart safe. Until her childhood BFF Sebastian moves back into town. Sebastian is the friendly guy-next-door (with six-pack abs!) who's just too good to be true. And for the first time in her life, Jasmine feels like she can be herself around someone. No games. No pretenses. As they spend more time together, Jasmine thinks that maybe, just maybe, she's starting to catch feelings for him. Can Jasmine let go of her player persona and finally open her heart? Or is Sebastian just playing a game of his own? -- This story has 20 Chapters! (COMPLETE) #1 BESTSTORYEVER in just 1 week! 24 June 2022 - 25 July 2022 #13 BOYNEXTDOOR - 29 June 2022Complete
Always Almost Yours
When Emma Carrington first met Alex Grayson in the bustling heart of New York City, she thought he was everything she wasn't looking for. He was restless, impulsive, and far too charming for his own good. But as they crossed paths over coffee shop counters and rainy park benches, their magnetic connection slowly drew them together, even as Emma fought to keep her distance. For someone like her-wounded and cautious after a painful past-falling in love wasn't an option. Yet love found her anyway, relentless and unyielding, until Emma could no longer deny it. She and Alex were fire and gasoline, made for fleeting passion, not permanence. Just as she finally lets herself surrender to the fragile hope of a future together, Alex receives a life-altering offer halfway across the world, one he can't refuse but that could destroy them. With oceans and years stretching between them, Emma and Alex make a pact: to live their separate lives and meet again in five years, when everything will finally be right for them. But when those years pass, they discover that fate has other plans, and the choices they've made have forever reshaped the people they've become. In the end, they are forced to confront a devastating question: Will the love they fought so hard to preserve be enough to bring them back together? Or have they been living for an ending that was never meant to be?Complete
