It has been four years since I was jilted at the altar by the love of my life, Dani. Time enough, some would say, to have moved on and then some. And yet here I was, still stuck.
Sure, superficially, I seemed to be moving on. Had let my shy waitress ensnare me in her sweet trap.
But it wasn't the same. It was all temporary...
Christy knew it better than anyone. After all I hadn't made her any promises in the months that we had been together.
And now that Dani was back, and in trouble too-
Nothing mattered to me in front of that.
Not even the shy stray I had started to care for.
Now if only Christy would understand that and move on...

Tequila Rose
He tasted like tequila and the fake name I gave him was Rose. Four years ago, I decided to get over one man, by getting under another. A single night and nothing more. I found my handsome stranger with a shot glass and charming but devilish smile at the end of the bar. The desire that hit his eyes the second they landed on me ignited a spark inside me, instant and hot. He was perfect and everything I didn't know I needed. That one night may have ended, but I left with much more than a memory. Four years later, and with a three-year-old in tow, the man I still dream about is staring at me from across the street in the town I grew up in. I don't miss the flash of recognition, or the heat in his gaze. The chemistry is still there, even after all these years. I just hope the secrets and regrets don't destroy our second chance before it's even begun.Complete
Beautifully Painted
[BWWM] I never expected my life to spiral like this. Once, I thought Tyler was the perfect guy-charming, sweet, the one who made me feel special. But when the guy I thought I knew turned abusive, everything changed. I found myself stuck in a toxic relationship, trapped in a cycle of manipulation and hurt. The one night I thought I could escape it all, I ended up in Aiden's room, a stranger who saw me for who I really was, not just a pretty face and a hot body. But Aiden isn't just any guy-he's kind, compassionate, and unlike any guy I've ever met. Now, as my abusive relationship threatens to swallow me whole, Aiden is the only person who makes me feel safe. But can I let go of everything I thought I knew about love? Or will I risk it all for something real? Even if it might cost me my life?

I clutch to his shirt, trying to hold my body from collapsing. "Careful...You are messing with the devil, Cole."
