Chick-lit Stories

Aria Bennett has always stayed in the background. She's quiet, focused, and used to being overlooked. Especially by Cole Maddox, her twin brother's best friend and the school's popular quarterback. But everything starts to shift when Cole begins noticing her too. Study sessions turn into something more. Glances linger. And the hoodie she wears starts to feel like a secret only they understand. Their connection feels real. It also feels completely off limits. But what happens when she falls for the one person she's not supposed to fall for? A slow burn on and off the field. *** I'm currently editing some chapters so I've changed the status to ongoing. I've also changed the cover and it's way better now. I'm not gonna unpublish chapters for anyone who's already read it because they're not major changes. I might add a new chapter/s towards the end as I'm thinking of making this into a 3 part series and maybe a spin-off but we'll see how this story does. Thank you for reading!!

I didn't come to New York to fall in love. I came here to disappear. Mia Monroe has spent two years outrunning the ghosts of her past-the ones with her mother's voice and her father's silence. She doesn't believe in fairytales, happy endings, or men who mean what they say. Her walls are high, her heart locked tight, and her new job at Blake Enterprises is supposed to be a fresh start. Until he walks in. Adrian Blake. CEO. Billionaire. Beautifully controlled chaos. He's everything Mia doesn't trust-powerful, unreadable, and just a little bit cruel. The kind of man who could ruin a woman without ever touching her... and knows exactly how to do it. But there's something behind his polished facade-something broken, something dangerous, and Mia can't look away. He doesn't ask questions, and she doesn't offer answers. It should be simple. It never is. As lines blur and desire spirals into obsession, Mia is forced to confront the truth: Adrian may not be the villain of this story. She might be. And some things can't be outrun-especially when they feel like home. A slow-burn, emotionally charged romance about trauma, temptation, and two flawed souls who were never meant to collide... but can't seem to stay away. Perfect for readers who crave morally grey characters, complex emotional stakes, and chemistry that cuts deep. With a twist.

Selena is a mean girl, the villain destined to lose her hot-shot boyfriend to the shy, overlooked nerd. Everyone watches in silent awe as he replaces her in the name of love. It was the perfect fairytale ending, just like the movies... But not for long. In real life queen bees don't lose so easily, and for Selena, this breakup evokes the attention of admirers long held back, particularly one who's made her his quiet obsession. One who grows to be far more successful than her ex...and far harder to resist. --- 𝑯𝒆 𝑭𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒔 𝑭𝒊𝒓𝒔𝒕 𝑺𝒐𝒇𝒕 𝒀𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝑾𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝑯𝒊𝒎 𝑩𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑭𝒂𝒎𝒆 & 𝑭𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒖𝒏𝒆

WATTPAD BOOKS EDITION. It only takes one moment to change your life forever . . . After her mother's deportation last year, all Soledad "Sol" Gutierrez wants is for her life to go back to normal. Everything's changed-new apartment, new school, new family dynamic-and Sol desperately wants to fit in. When she joins her community college's history club, it comes with an odd initiation process: break into Westray's oldest house and steal . . . a fork? There's just one problem: while the owners of the house aren't home, their grandson Ethan is, and when he catches Sol with her hand in the kitchen drawer, she barely escapes with the fork intact. This one chance encounter irrevocably alters her life, and Sol soon learns that sometimes fitting in isn't as important as being yourself-even if that's the hardest thing she's ever had to do.

Unfortunately, due to a misunderstanding (and Gwen's aggressive advertising), the entire camp is using Emma as a mascot because she's "single". Emma and Vivian decide to let the situation play out to help Gwen, finding a new thrill in keeping their love secret. Soon, though, things get out of hand as they start making each other jealous, and someone online is working to destroy their relationship (and the entire camp)! Can Emma save the camp, her reputation, and the only relationship that's ever mattered to her? (Sequel to Camp Mapplewood: original version.) [[word count: 40,000-50,000 words]]

In order to join the club, Sol must break into the oldest house in her small Californian town and steal one of their forks. The club members provide all the materials to break in; she just needs to take the utensil, take a selfie in the kitchen, and get out undetected-with the fork, of course. The problem is: Ethan Winston spots Sol in his grandparent's house, and he's determined to uncover the reason behind the break-in. However, both he and Sol are thrown for a loop when feelings begin to develop between them. And as Ethan becomes suspicious of the History Club, he and Sol get tangled in an adventure none of them were expecting.
