Back in 1895, Estela arrives in New York from Italy with her family in search of opportunities and a better life. She steps into a completely new world- one filled with diverse cultures and unfamiliar lifestyles, while facing the challenge of building a home in a place where, at first, she doesn't even speak the language that well.
Between classes, unexpected friendships, and dreams that begin to emerge, Leam becomes her greatest support... and perhaps something more.
However, as they grow closer, the demands of work, responsibilities, and the daily struggle to survive put their feelings to the test.
Will they find the courage to follow their hearts before it's too late?

Dead Before the Sequel
I died. Came back. Now I'm living in a soap opera-and no, I don't get a script. Transmigrated as the older twin in a wildly rich, wildly dramatic family, I'm surrounded by love triangles, overprotective parents, and the kind of chaos that would give reality TV execs a stroke. My sister's perfect. I'm... not. And while she collects admirers, I collect emotional damage-and maybe one terrifyingly attractive, possibly robotic boyfriend who understands me a little too well. There are secret pasts. Public scandals. Too much glitter. This isn't a romance. It's survival. And I'm done playing the sidekick.Complete

Sorry, You're An Idiot (And So Is My Sister)
💔 She lost everything to her sister once. This time, she's not giving it up. ✨ Sorry, You're An Idiot (And So Is My Sister) ✨ A spin-off of Sorry, I'm An Idiot (And You're My Wife) - full of family drama, messy romance, betrayal, and the revenge glow-up you didn't know you needed. Update: New covers are dropping soon, and I can't wait for you to see them. Now, onto the "AI" comments. Let me be crystal clear: I write every word myself. If you think a robot could pull off juggling school runs, lesson planning, late-night coffee binges, Wattpad updates at ungodly hours, and still slip in sarcasm that cuts deep - you're giving AI way too much credit. I'll take your accusations as a backhanded compliment. If my writing feels "too good" to be human, then maybe that just means I'm doing something right. ✨Complete

Una historia de drama, remordimiento, redención, y enfrentarse con que sí bien son inmortales, hay ciclos que deben cerrar: y otros que pueden comenzar. Y, siempre hay tiempo para segundas oportunidades, cuando no hay fin en una vida de paradojas.Complete
