"Hell Hath no fury like a woman scorned"
In the calm, perfect, white picket fence parts of Ansonia, Connecticut there lay a sinister secret deep within the walls and hidden behind faked newspaper articles and polished Stepford wives look alikes.
Someone is causing a stir, murdering the city's most influential men, their calling card being a single stemmed rose left Over the body along with a handwritten note which reads;
Once a cheater, always a cheater- B.K
Safe to say, unfaithful men are girding themselves, hiding their mistresses as best as possible in fear of being next.
Silly fools, don't they know I'm everywhere? That late at night when they tell their lovely wives that they're working late, that something came up in the office, that I know different? That they can't hide from me?
Beauty KillS after all, and in a city so full of beautiful women, just exactly who is responsible for these crimes?
I'll never tell...
Once a cheater, always a cheater;
B.K ;)

When The Curtains Drop
[Previously named Rosegold] Rose Veretta is the heartbeat of the nation. Her smiles on magazine covers are worth a million dollars and to just get one of her clicks was to die for. People loved her and she loved her audience. At least that's what everyone thought. On the other side of the newspaper was a shadow. A serial killer on the loose who had been the nightmare of the PD for the last three months, with 5 murders to their record. Only two things about Robin were known, they considered murder as a form of art, and they loved popularity. What else would explain their obsession with leaving their name and one of their expensive ornaments on the crime scene? Naturally, these two belonged to different worlds. They didn't need to ever cross paths or even considered connected. But surprisingly, all the people Robin killed are one way or another, connected to Rose. Now that's a little too convenient, isn't it? # ONC Prompt 28: Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. # ONC 2024 Longlister and Shortlister ONC 2024 Ambassadors Pick Featured in Ambassadors Newsletter June 2024Concluida
What We Choose - PREVIEW ONLY
*PREVIEW ONLY* Available on Kindle and Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GCPX775Y PAUL I cheated on my fiancée. Sophie and I were building our future. In love, happy, peaceful. Then she found a lump in her breast, and I made the worst choice: I numbed my fear by sleeping with someone else. My worst mistake and my biggest regret. Now I see Sophie around town with him. She's radiant and laughing with people who actually show up. I'm trying to learn how to be a man who does. If she lets me, I'll spend the rest of my life proving I can choose her when it's hardest. If she lets me... SOPHIE I thought the promise was in sickness and in health. But he buried his fear in someone else. On the same night, I walked into a bookstore and met the gentle giant owner, who invited me to his book club full of misfits. I'm laughing again, I'm smiling more than I ever have, and I'm healing my heart. My bookstore owner keeps showing up like it's as easy as breathing. I don't know what the future holds; I don't know if I'll win this battle against cancer, but I do know I'm done wasting time on people who love only when it's easy. CALLUM She came into Rivers & Rhodes Bookstore and asked for books with happy endings only. I gave her a recommendation, an invitation, and an offer of friendship. Now, this beautiful, brave woman is completely under my skin. I'm not here to win a competition against him. I'm here because choosing someone, second by second, is the only way I understand love.Concluida
Rewrite MY Destiny
She died at 35-poisoned on the night she thought her life was finally coming together. But right before her heart stopped, she saw her killer... her best friend. And she realized too late-she was just a side character in a story that didn't belong to her. When she opens her eyes, it's 10 years earlier. She's back in her 25-year-old body, on the morning of her birthday. But this time... she remembers everything. And now, she knows the truth: She was never the heroine. Her stepsister was the "beloved female lead." Her husband-the man who promised her the world-was in love with her sister all along. And her best friend? She was never her friend. Now that she's back, she's not playing the same role. This time, she writes the script. -

ONC Ambassador's Pick & Shortlister! Rumors. Infidelity. Lies. Secrets. MURDER. And all before lunch time. Who knew being a socialite in 1951 could be so thrilling? ~~~ On a lovely June afternoon, as the oh-so-chic members of the Gilded Grove Ladies' Book Club gather for their scheduled luncheon, they are shocked to receive the news that their vice president, Camilla Otis, is unable to attend. Gossip ensues. What catastrophe could possibly have befallen her to warrant a last minute cancellation? The answer comes by way of two clever, dashing police officers. It seems Camilla Otis has had quite a busy morning, and that the truth behind her absence is far more scandalous than the Book Club ladies could ever have imagined. As the police dig deeper into the events surrounding Mrs. Otis' shocking crime, buried secrets about the other Book Club members begin to surface. None of the women in question are the fine, upstanding ladies of society that the public believes them to be. Each has tarnish on her so-called "sterling reputation." And no one has more to hide than club president Marcella Montgomery. Written for ONC 2024, this is a tongue-in-cheek "whodunit" (in reverse) that will leave you wondering just what a scorned woman *wouldn't* do for sweet, sweet revenge. ⚠️ Warning: many very nonchalant references to murder and death. Very ignorant (era-realistic), inaccurate comments about nationalities/cultures outside the US.Concluida

A violin sings, a heartbeat fades-tell me, love, who plays the final note? As the killer said, "When I screamed, no one heard me.

BROKEN VOW
I stop at the last room, stare at the number on the door and crosscheck it with the one with me. I stuffed the paper away and ready myself for what lies behind the closed door. I lean on the door for a while and could hear voices but were incoherent. I tap twice on the door and the voices stopped. I repeated the process and received a response that sounded more like Hillary's voice. "Who is it?" He asked from behind the door. I knocked back instead, I didn't trust myself to sound differently. The door flew open in a second and I quickly wedge the door with my leg to prevent him from shutting it on my face. His face went pale on seeing me. I scanned him from head to toe. He was only in his brief. He tried blocking my view with his body but I push him aside forcefully. "Who is at the door, love?" Love? What a joke! Both our eyes snapped in the direction of the voice. I thought I heard my heart leap but not for joy, in pains. It was as though a knife was scrolled into my chest. "This is your Ghana?" I scoffed and walked past him in the direction of the voice, "I was at the door" I said catching her attention... • • • • • A charming couple (Nick and Lauren ) had to navigate their way out of a storming marriage that was once cemented by love. A single mistake is about to pull the string of their marriage apart. °°°°Concluida
