Hi Wattpad friends, Marie Miria here, Iover of messy emotions, slow-burn chaos, and love stories that hurt a little before they heal.

For years, I told myself I'd write a book someday. But it wasn't until I hit a milestone birthday (you know the one) that I finally sat down and did the thing. Real life doesn't always give us happy endings, but I like my characters to find theirs-no matter how messy, complicated, or hard-won.

I fall for the kind of stories that make you feel everything: the tension, the heartbreak, the yearning, the why-do-I-love-this-so-much kind of ache. Age gaps? Yes. Forbidden love? Always. Emotional baggage? Absolutely.

I'm kicking things off with the  💔 The Hurt Series

Set between Denver and the fictional mountain town of Silver Ridge, The Hurt Series follows five interconnected stories about grief, guilt, desire, and the way love can both wreck and rebuild you.
✨ Book 1 - Where It Hurts the Most
Rowan & Nate - a reckless girl and the cop who promised to protect her.
Grief. Guilt. A forbidden, slow-burn love that should've never happened - and changed everything when it did.
✨ Book 2 - The Hurt Between Us
Cassie & Dean - sunshine and soldier.
A story of healing, forgiveness, and learning that second chances don't erase the scars-they prove you survived.
✨ Book 3 - Hurting You, Loving You
Avery & Roman - step-siblings, secrets, and self-control unraveling by degrees.
A love that breaks rules-and hearts-just to feel alive.
✨ Book 4 - Where It Hurts to Stay
Wren & Leo - the girl who stopped believing and the teacher who crossed a line.
A forbidden age-gap romance about truth, redemption, and learning that sometimes the safest place is the one you were never meant to find.
✨ Book 5 - When It Hurts to Fall
Zadie & Woody - chaos and calm, best friends and breaking points.
Because sometimes love isn't about saving someone but allowing to be loved.

Five books. One universe.
And always-always-a happy ending.
💛
