    Little worms that come into my mind, refuse to go away and take me away from my longer stories! I should say that these stories are not meant to link in any way. They’re purely random thoughts so can all be read as standalone works.

    Summary

    At 35 you hit up the fertility clinic - donor profiles, paperwork, stirrups - deciding to become a mother on your own. It was supposed to be simple: pick a donor, put your feet in the stirrups and wait. But then you meet Joel, a kind, single father, who is easy to talk to, & makes you laugh. Suddenly your carefully controlled plan develops a complication with warm brown eyes. When the clinic calls with the result, you realize you’re standing at the start of two new futures… and you might not get to keep both.

    Summary

    You come home at 19 because you’ve run out of places to fall.
    Back to a father you barely know.
    Back to a house that feels too small for your anger, your loneliness, your life.

    And then there’s Joel Miller, the man next door. Older. Quiet. Steady. The kind of man who shouldn’t look at you the way he does… and the kind of man you shouldn’t want.
    But tension like this doesn’t stay harmless. It pulls. It burns. It ruins sleep.

    What starts as glances through open windows and arguments that leave your pulse racing spirals into something deeper, heavier, impossible to ignore. Something that scares you both in different ways.

    This is a story about desire that hits before you’re ready, love that hurts before it heals, and two people who keep finding their way back to each other through every mistake, every distance, every ache.

    A slow burn that smolders.
    A heartbreak that lingers.
    A connection that refuses to die.

    Summary

    Harry Castillo had it all—money, power, a penthouse with a view. But none of it mattered the moment Lucy, the only woman he ever let his guard down for, left him for a broke ass waiter in a studio apartment with one bathroom. Now, at 54, he’s bitter and convinced that love is just a cruel joke for idiots who don’t know better.

    Then—he meets her.

    A stranger on the Met steps. Unbothered. Unimpressed. Not fawning over his wealth, not offering him sympathy, not treating him like he’s anyone special.

    And for the first time in months, Harry stops thinking about Lucy.

    For the first time in years, he wants to stay.

    And that? That might just piss him off more than anything else.

    But if there’s one thing Harry Castillo never does, it’s walk away from a challenge.

    Even if that challenge comes in the form of a woman who seems determined not to give a damn about him.

    Summary

    Adore promises scientifically perfect matches. You just wanted to try it for fun. You didn’t expect a 98% compatibility score with Harry Castillo, a powerful NYC financier nearly twenty years older, with sharp suits, sharp eyes, and an even sharper tongue.

    One disastrous first date ends with wine down his expensive suit. You’re certain that’s the end of it.

    Until Adore calls to say he wants a second date.

    Now you’re stuck navigating mandatory matchmaker sessions, forced dates, and a man who drives you mad, even as he slowly, infuriatingly, starts to get under your skin.
