Aria used to spend her days quietly, lost in her own little world.
She was shy, reserved, and comfortable staying in the background - until life reminded her that staying the same would get her nowhere.
Rejections came one after another. Failures kept piling up. Nights were spent overthinking and days wasted on endless scrolling.
But little by little, Aria began to change.
Through awkward interviews, small wins, and moments of doubt, she slowly worked on becoming the person she truly wanted to be - someone glowing, confident, hungry for learning, striving to be physically fit, and committed to living a healthier lifestyle.
Deep down, she also dreamed of becoming financially secure and building the skills that would help her create the life she's always imagined.
This is a story about falling, standing up again, and taking one small step at a time toward the future she dreams of.

Somewhere Between Then and Now
Arin never meant to fall apart. Not loudly. Not dramatically. Just quietly - one bad day at a time. At fourteen, he feels invisible at home, disconnected at school, and trapped inside a mind that won't slow down. His friends want popularity. His parents want perfection. Arin just wants to breathe. After a night where everything cracks, Arin begins the slow climb back - through music, drawing, new friendships, and the quiet moments that rebuild a person when nobody's watching. A story about breaking, healing, growing, and learning to stand again. Not perfectly. Just honestly. A deeply emotional coming-of-age journey for anyone who's ever felt lost between who they were and who they're becoming.
𝙵𝙰𝙸𝙻𝚄𝚁𝙴 𝚃𝙾 𝚂𝚄𝙲𝙲𝙴𝚂𝚂
She looked strong to the world. A girl who smiled softly, who walked with quiet grace, who seemed unshaken no matter what storms raged around her. Everyone thought she was fine, perhaps even perfect in her silence. But no one knew the truth. Behind the calm face was a fragile soul, introverted and innocent, who carried the weight of invisible wounds. She understood everyone, yet no one understood her. She loved with all her heart, yet felt unloved in return. Every night she told herself the same thing: "𝘐 𝘢𝘮 𝘢 𝘧𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘶𝘳𝘦. 𝘐 𝘢𝘮 𝘢 𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘳." And at her lowest, she wished to disappear forever. Yet life does not let go so easily. When she was ready to end everything, destiny placed an unexpected hand in her path. Not a rescuer, not a savior just a presence who became her mirror, her support, her reason to keep breathing. Through betrayal and trust, silence and confessions, rejection and love, she walked a painful journey. And in the end, she discovered something no one could give her: the strength to embrace her own heart. This is not just the story of pain. It is the story of breaking and healing, of being invisible and finally being seen, of falling into the deepest dark and rising again. It is the journey from 𝘧𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘶𝘳𝘦... 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴. "𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗮 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘂𝗿𝗲, 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘄𝗶𝘀𝗲."

Lusting After Lucifer (18+) ☑
This is an erotic romance. Recommended 18+! Completed. Excerpt: His mouth was back on mine in an instant, the door behind us rattling loudly as he thrust against me. "Does the geriatric kiss you like this?" He mumbled against me as his teeth nipped at my already swollen lips. I pulled back once more, my heighted state of emotions, my anger taking over. "What if I said I don't want you?" A devilish grin took over as one of his hands slid along my thigh, under my skirt, his fingers tracing over the soft, damp material of my underwear. His mouth moved down to my neck, nipping at the juncture between my shoulder and neck. "I would call you a fucking liar." I tried to bite back the moan as his teeth skimmed my neck, before sinking in hard, his fingers pushing under the edge of my panties. He hesitated for a moment, waiting for me to stop him. I didn't want him to stop. One finger slid over my folds before pushing into my entrance, sinking in deep. He groaned in pleasure, his erection twitching against my core as his finger began to move. "I can feel just how much you want me." **** Lucian Vanderbrooke has been labeled many things in his lifetime. Bad boy, asshole, troublemaker, pornstar, the list goes on. He is nicknamed Lucifer for a reason. He gets who he wants, when he wants. Everything changes when he sets his sights on his twin sisters' best friend, his childhood friend who he has always had a love/hate relationship with. Abigail Davidson is a determined redheaded spitfire who doesn't take attitude from anyone. She has secretly been in love with her best friend's brother for her entire life, even though every sensible thought she has is telling her to hate the arrogant asshole. It is a love that she can't act on. A love that must remain hidden. That pact they made when they were 16, doesn't mean anything... right? Standalone spin off from the Distorted Windows Trilogy. Can be read on its own but it is recommended to read the others first.Complete

Sacrifice For The Job
(This story is mostly smut as I plan on my next release being more innocent and lacking in that area. It also focuses very little on side characters since I wanted to keep the story short after feeling like my more recent stories have been a bit too long) After having the glow up of her dreams, Aria Hart finally believes she can get and do anything she wants. With that in mind, she goes after the job her ill uncle had always dreamt for her. She knows it will make him proud and believes pretty privilege will work in her favor. To her surprise, when she finally speaks to the man in charge, Elijah Caddel, she realizes that pretty privilege comes with a lot more opportunities than she previously imagined. Not all of them great. Aria finds herself in a deal she would have never imagined. One that actually makes her scowl upon hearing it. But when that deal can make or break her promise to her sick uncle, she feels she has no other choice but to accept it. After hearing the severity of the terms and experiencing it firsthand, Aria can't decide how she feels about their new agreement. Or how she feels about Elijah. (Similarly to "No Good For You", this story only details the start of their relationship. Not the during.) (Warning: this story is for readers 21+, intense smut scenes and language are included. Reader discretion advised.) (Story does switch POVs)Complete

But for her, it quickly became anything but simple. 🌿 Everyone around her seemed brighter, bolder, better. Every whispered compliment, every small success she didn't have, made her question herself. Slowly, the shadow of comparison began to follow her everywhere. Then college arrived-bigger, more dazzling, and full of surprises she never saw coming. Friendships that challenged her, choices that tested her, and moments that made her heart ache in ways she didn't expect. Could she navigate this new world without losing herself? From quiet school corridors to late-night reflections, from self-doubt to self-discovery, this story is about growing up, facing unexpected twists, and finding the courage to step out of the shadows. If you loved "The Goodbye We Never Said," you'll recognize the familiar struggles and heartfelt moments-and maybe even find yourself rooting for her as she learns to shine in her own light.Complete
Crossing Paths
"Aria is a young woman who always seems to find herself in chance encounters that always end in a rush of hurt and longing for a love that's never her own. Some say that a chance encounter can be the best thing to happen to people, like love at first sight. How about crossing paths with people who are so toxic it consumes you to a point you feel you need them in your life. You don't realize how controlling, how manipulating, they are until it's too late. Their lies become a blanket of truths you start to believe. They care for you when you're at your weakest, when you need their attention the most, not knowing this is all part of."Complete
