"I don't want peace. I want to be choked respectfully by someone with clean fingernails and a 720 credit score."
Four fierce women. One city. A whole lot of bad decisions - and even better stories.
Meet Kerry: writer, celibate-ish (kind of), and always dressed like she's one heartbreak away from a fashion spread.
Shauna's wild, unapologetic, and owns every messy hookup like a designer handbag.
Courtney's a gracious optimist - all pearls, planners, and the occasional one-night spiritual awakening.
And Mackenzie? A sharp-tongued lawyer who swears she's done with love... until love shows up uninvited.
They're chasing lust, love, and the ever-elusive soft life - navigating friendship, fumbles, and feminine rage in heels.
Come for the fashion. Stay for the fuckups.
🍸 New chapters every Tuesday. Pull up a chair - this diary's just getting started.

Rain is a necessary evil. It's prayed for yet cursed and hated. It brings forth destruction and life simultaneously. Rain is a refreshing sprinkle and an overwhelming flood.

Despite her miserable day and the tepid rain dampening the streets of Harrisburg, she lit up the bar with her bright smile the moment she entered. Rain is looking for a warm body to take to his bed.

A story of temptation, control, and discovering power in unexpected places.
Falling By Design
"You know you need me, but even before I get close, you're pushing me away." Thalia grunts, "I need you? Where'd that come from?" Miguel runs his fingers through his hair, maintaining their proximity as his breaths become heavier and more ragged. Out of nowhere, he brushes his knuckle against her jaw, then to her cheek, and finally, he grasps her nape. Thalia stands frozen, unable to even blink. "My parents want me to settle down.

The Men Next Door
✅ Complete ✅ When Campbell Kramer accepted a job offer in Manhattan, she never could've imagined what the city had in store for her. Namely, two handsome men who live on either side of her new apartment. One is older, one is younger. One is introverted, one is extroverted. One is serious, one is playful. Both of them want her attention. What could go wrong? ☲☲☲☲☲ ☆Brooks☆ My neighbor was the one to close the distance between us. She did it quickly--like she was scared the moment would pass away forever if she let another millisecond go by--and I rested my hand on the side of her face to steady her. Something about my touch must have given her courage. ♡Campbell♡ The men finally greeted each other while I snipped the green, woody stems and plopped them into the tallest mug I owned. Their sentences were short and awkward, and as I rearranged the blooms for the umpteenth time, the realization that they'd told each other what happened hit me like a south-bound train. I don't know why I didn't expect that. They were best friends, after all. I was just the girl next door. They had no loyalty to me, no reason to keep our time together a secret. ☆Luca☆ Her lips met mine slowly, softly, hesitantly--like she wasn't so sure kissing her neighbor was the best idea--and I responded just as delicately. But when her hand made its way into the back of my hair, our bodies melded together like a lust-struck alloy. And the only hope of separating us was to add more heat. ☲☲☲☲☲ Featured by: 📙 @Wattpad • Love Triangles 💘😈 (July 2025) • Spicy Summer Reads (July 2024) • Endless Reading Mode 🧡 (Jan 2024) • Summer in the City 🥵 (June 2023) 📕 @Romance • Love Triangle (April 2025) • New Adult (June 2024) 📘 @Ambassadors • Hot Encounters (Dec 2024) 📗 @ChickLit • Rom-Com (Oct 2025) • Ambassador's Picks (Jul 2025) Awards: 🥈 Romance runner-up (The Prime Awards 2023)Complete
