Childhood best friends. One kiss. Everything ruined.
Delilah's grown up tangled in the Gallagher mess-especially Gene, her emotionally avoidant best friend with a cigarette always in hand. Now that they're older, the lines are blurring, and one kiss threatens to destroy everything they thought was safe.
Slide Away is a raw, slow-burn love story about two messy kids trying (and failing) to stay just friends.

What happens when two people who once knew each other best forget-and fall in love all over again?Complete
My One & Only
Ricky and Nini have been best friends since kindergarten. They've had their ups and downs, but always found a way to stay close. But what neither of them know is that both of them are slowly falling for the other every passing day. ~Inspired by Love, Rosie~ Rating: 14+ Started: 1/15/22 Ended: 8/4/23 Listen, this is the SLOWEST slow burn that ever burned, so bear with me CW: Some characters experience physical violence, but everything is off-screen to avoid triggering someone. Also, there are a few implied innuendos and sex scenes. I will tell you at the top of each chapter when mature scenes occur in case you need/want to skip them :)Complete

But when the world isn't watching, the truth of whispered confessions in the dark gets heard, hands that linger too long are felt, and hearts beating too loud are revealed. Every secret moment feels like paradise, but also like walking on a knife's edge. Because if their love is uncovered, they both could lose everything, yet neither of them could imagine letting go of the other.
