The Imitation Game ✓
Love, Lust, and Jealousy. It's a story Cora knows all too well - not because it's her own, but that of her character in Illicit Affairs, the murderous romance that's about to take Broadway by storm. It's her crowning achievement, her pride and joy, and she's its figurehead - the alluring, sultry, and mysterious leading lady. She's almost ready for opening night. She's perfected it all - how to angle herself when she kisses him so that the stage lights hit their bodies just right; the way her lips are supposed to feel on his, soft at first and then increasingly wanting. There's just one tiny problem. As their first performance looms, she's still not sure if she has the willpower to convincingly play lover to a man she hates. Or if she can keep doing it once she realizes what she's feeling for him isn't hate anymore. ♡ featured in @Romance's chicklit reading list and @NA's romance list ♡ ★ Started: November 15th, 2021 ★ Completed: May 22nd, 2022Complete

But hate is just another form of love. And no matter how much we try to forget, the past has a way of catching up with us. Because deep down, we both know some people are impossible to forget.
More Than Words
He's guarded, the kind of man who keeps his heart locked behind walls no one has ever climbed. But the moment he heard her voice, something shifted. It wasn't love at first sight... it was love at first sound. A pull he couldn't explain. A certainty he didn't trust. She's always lived with her guard up too. Life has already broken her in the worst ways, leaving her convinced that some wounds never heal. Loving someone again was never part of her plan. But then she met him. With him, the fear faded. With him, she felt seen, loved, safe. For the first time in a long time, she let herself fall... fully, recklessly, purely. Two guarded hearts. One unexpected connection. And sometimes the most extraordinary love stories begin in the most unusual ways, with a voice, a spark, and the courage to believe in something More Than Words.
