10 years after graduation leaves Rachel Moreno longing for stardom in secret. When the most popular guy in high school runs into Rachel at one of her gigs, she is thrown for a loop. He's not the shining, vibrant, annoyingly handsome man she used to know. But now a shy librarian working at the community college that is still somehow annoyingly handsome. There is something different in him now, something missing.
10 years after graduation leaves Eli Sorenson tired of performing for the same crowds over and over again. When he runs into someone familiar from high school, he is left instantly breathless. But she's not buying it at all. Why hadn't he noticed her before?
As Rachel learns to regain hope and Eli wrestles with parts of himself he has kept hidden, the opposite two find themselves magnetically drawn to each other. An unexpected connection. Eli offers to help Rachel gain her confidence and hope into making a name for herself. The two begin to share scripts, late-night rehearsals, and vulnerable hope. But when old fears and new opportunities come up, they must choose: is this fleeting connection built on history they never were able to experience? Or the beginning of something worth staying for?

But Monica McCaslin didn't think she would ever be one of those people, would ever have one of those moments. Brought up in a small suburb, with everything she could ever ask for, there wasn't much left for her to want. Monica's ordinary life was to go as such- follow her high school sweetheart to college, graduate, get married, have two kids; the cookie cutter life. White picket fence included. What she did not expect was to meet a dark-haired stranger sitting all alone on a park bench, at that very same school she was to attend with said future husband. After a brief conversation, just a handful of words between them, Monica decides to go on a cross-country road trip with him; putting her faith and future in the hands of a stranger. Thinking she'd soon regret her decision and the life she left behind, she realizes she doesn't at all. Free of expectation and a future that she thought was set in stone, she begins to find the woman she was truly meant to be. State by state, with each border they cross, Monica liberates her true self. πΉπ π π β π π β - βπ ππ‘πππ₯π - β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ This is a work of fiction.

I Thought You'd Never Love Me

With Zoya-their shared connection, a best friend and a sister-at the center of it all, their tangled hearts must find a way through past wounds, buried fears, and the one kiss that changed everything. A slow-burn, heart-warming story of longing, vulnerability, and learning that sometimes... the right kind of love waits until you're ready to feel it.Complete
Tutoring the Bad Boy (Completed)
Tutoring the Bad Boy. ~~ He smirked. "Whoops! Look who has read 50 Shades of Grey. Trust me getting kinky is almost every guys dream. I knew you had hidden desires! All the shy ones do." I blushed a little. "No! I don't have any hidden desires." The image of me and Bryan on a bed, with no clothes and handcuffs and ties entering my head. I shook my head vigorously. Hell no! That ain't happening in another millennium. Instantly trying to change the topic, I glanced at my bucket list and then at him. "What are you teaching me?" I asked, fear already gripping me like ivy. He smirked evilly. "How to be a badass." ~~ Once in a while, in the middle of life, love gives us a fairytale. And some fairytale love stories are completely unexpected and thus more memorable. No one expected the class president and the leader of Trouble Triggers to even talk about anything but notes and pencils. But then fate's a bitch and loves to meddle! Their life changes drastically when the good girl- Joanna Williams has to tutor the bad boy- Bryan Cooper. Along with the tutoring comes constant fun, too much bickering, lame jokes, scary sarcasm, idiotic friends, too many unknown emotions, jungles in tummy, bucket lists, unheard secrets and haunting pasts. Maybe some fairytales don't have a happy ending... or do they? (A/N: Contains a lot of 'F' words and grammatical mistakes. Don't say you weren't warned.)Complete
Accidentally more than expected
Zola has a plan: focus on her physics degree, keep her head down, and-most importantly-ignore the small but persistent voice inside her that longs for something sweeter. Like baking. Like a life outside of lab reports and academic expectations. Tobby has no plan-at least, not one he chose. As the eldest son of the prominent Ashford family, he's supposed to follow in his father's footsteps, uphold the legacy, and meet every expectation set for him. But ever since his father's passing, he's been stuck in a life that feels more like an obligation than a choice. When Zola and Tobby's paths cross-first at a chaotic sports event, then at a beachside resort, and again on campus-they don't expect much from each other. A few jokes, maybe. A little teasing. But as their accidental meetings turn into something more, they start to realize that sometimes, life has a way of surprising you. And love? Love might just be the biggest surprise of all.Complete
