At forty, recently divorced, and having never had children, Analeise has settled into a quiet, predictable life in Salt Lake City. But when she volunteers at a 2000s pop culture convention, her organizational skills and calm demeanor catch the eye of Austin Ryland, a charming actor from her nostalgic past. Tasked with keeping his autograph and selfie lines running smoothly, Analeise quickly proves herself indispensable-but she never expected the offer he makes at the end of the day.
Austin wants her to work with him for the rest of the year, traveling to conventions across the country. For the first time, Analeise is faced with a decision: remain in her comfortable, solitary life, or step into the unknown and take a leap of faith.
As she navigates the hectic world of conventions, fan encounters, and life on the road, Analeise discovers her own resilience, independence, and the possibility of love in the most unexpected of places. Between the bright lights, autograph lines, and stolen moments behind the scenes, she begins to realize that sometimes the greatest adventures start when you say yes.

Brave Enough To Love Again
I stood with my back to her, shielding her, and my murderous eyes stared down at the poor excuse of a man, promising unimaginable pain if he dared to move or even flinch. The enormity of control it took me to suppress the impulse to eradicate the piece of scum, who dared to even think about laying a hand on a woman, was inconceivable. My whole body was trembling with rage. The guy was intimidated by the fury in my eyes and stumbled back to his intoxicated friends who were too dazed to understand the situation. I was disappointed and relieved at the same time that the chaos didn't end in a fist fight. When I turned around to console her, she was gone. And as I looked around, I saw her back just leaving the bar through the entrance. I hurried out to follow her. She walked ahead of me aimlessly and disoriented like a wounded animal that had just escaped the claws of death. My heart ached for her. I found a kindred soul in her. She evidently had been wounded in the past. Just like me. But in an even worse way than I had been hurt, and it angered me, that someone had dared to harm her. *** Eden Marie Simmons is still recovering after escaping an abusive relationship when she meets Keane, the broody and enigmatic neighbor who is shrouded in mystery. Both are still being haunted by their past and are not ready for a new commitment, but when fate repeatedly puts them in each other's paths, they can't deny their attraction for each other. Life challenges them both with secrets, lies, and broken trusts, and confronts them with their pasts. They both must learn to be brave enough to love again. *** Story is previously called "Paradise Lies"Completa
The Borrowed Fiancé
Borrowing him was supposed to be harmless. Falling for him? Not part of the deal. Everly Allen doesn't do love stories anymore. Not after watching one destroy everything she believed in. With her brother's wedding days away, a family obsessed with her relationship status, and a past she can't outrun, she makes a reckless decision. She borrows a man. A fake boyfriend. A distraction. Easton Hayes, tattooed, brooding, infuriatingly smug, is the last person she should've chosen. He's the CEO of Chrome Customs, her best friend's fiancé, and the man she once wanted so badly it nearly broke her. But Hailey insisted. She planned it. She pushed them together. Because Hailey always had a plan. What Everly doesn't know, what she's never supposed to find out, is that this isn't a harmless favor. It's a lie. One so carefully constructed it blurs the line between loyalty and betrayal. And the night before her brother's wedding, the truth starts to crack. Every look from Easton feels like a confession. Every touch feels like something borrowed. And every secret Hailey kept begins to unravel, one piece at a time. Because this fake relationship isn't fake at all. It's a slow burning fuse tied to a secret that could destroy them all. Some love stories start with a kiss. This one starts with a lie. And theirs might end with the one thing Everly never saw coming, goodbye. Because some love stories aren't just complicated, they're impossible. And the truth waiting at the end of theirs? It might be the most heartbreaking twist of all. Sometimes love begins with a lie. And ends with a goodbye. A slow burn, angsty fake dating romance about forbidden longing, buried truths, and the kind of betrayal that makes you question everything you thought was love.Completa

Moonlight Kisses
"Why are you doing that!" she whisper-screams while her eyes flit to the other guys, who are now immersed in something else that isn't us. I kiss that spot again, making her whole body shiver. It's oddly entertaining to watch what my slightest movements do to her. Usually it takes a lot more for a girl to unravel this way, but her breath hitches each time I go to kiss her neck. I could only imagine what my hands could do to her body. "You still didn't answer my question," she huffs harshly. And still she hasn't pulled away from me. Had I been any stupider, I'd say Jordyn was actually enjoying herself. If she hates this so badly, why hasn't she asked me to stop? [] In August, Jordyn Reeve starts attending Crestview Prep and not long after strikes a deal with Beau Clemonte, an arrogant, rude boy who happens to be the thing that can give her what she wants: his best friend, Jake Amherst. Of course, everything worthwhile must come with a price. Despite her outright opinions, Jordyn makes a deal with the devil. Or at least that's what that's what she saw at first -- a coldhearted, stubborn asshole that cared even less than she did. Her only intention was to see this out to get the guy. However, it wasn't that simple for Beau. Cover created by: @meha-k Started October 2020 Completed January 2022Completa
