Freshstart Stories

Petra Holt has spent two years rebuilding herself into a woman with boundaries, routines, good boots, and a nervous system that only occasionally tries to flee the premises. Then Viktor Falk walks into her first meeting. Viktor: former colleague, current professional hazard, and the man Petra has mentally filed under Do Not Open Unless Supervised By A Therapist. Unfortunately, he is also her new research lead. His desk is in her sightline. His conclusions are annoyingly good. His face has, offensively, improved. And he keeps acting happy she's there, which is both suspicious and bad for office productivity. Petra's plan is simple: trust the raw notes, document everything, never be alone with his theories, and absolutely do not notice his shoulders. A sharp workplace romcom about old damage, fresh starts, found family, creative agency chaos, and the terrible inconvenience of a man sitting across the table like he isn't the reason you needed a two-year hiatus.

She came to the mountains to escape her past. What she found was the life she never dared to dream. After years of surviving Wall Street's cutthroat demands and a relationship that dimmed her shine, Madeline Vale finally chooses herself. She walks away from the noise, the pressure, and the man who molded her into someone she no longer recognizes. Her destination? A quiet Alpine village tucked between the pines-where snow falls softly, strangers smile without wanting anything in return, and a small bookstore with warm lights in the window feels like a promise she's been waiting to keep. Here, Madeline discovers: • a community that sees her • a creative spark she thought she lost • a gentle, slow-burn connection she never expected • and the unfamiliar, breathtaking freedom of choosing her own life But healing is not a straight line. Doubts whisper. Old fears follow. And the question rises: Will she keep hiding in the shadows of who she used to be, or finally step into the light of a life-and a love-she deserves? The Love She Never Expected is a heartwarming tale of courage, quiet magic, second chances, and the beautiful transformation that begins when a woman listens to the truth inside her own chest.

Nellie Davis has finally shaken free of the life that was slowly shrinking her. Plus-sized, stubbornly kind, and done apologizing for taking up space, she's pouring her heart, savings, and far too much caffeine into a small bakery of her own. The ovens are warm, but business is not, and her hard-won hope is beginning to falter. Then a little girl with a crown of unruly curls and a guarded father step through her door. Their arrival feels oddly fated, their presence disarming. And as they return, again and again, Nellie starts to rediscover pieces of herself she thought she'd lost and stumbles into a story far bigger than the one she set out to write.

Assassin's Creed: Skirmishes are a collection of short stories showing off examples of my combat writing (I won't concentrate much on anything else.) All combat scenarios will focus on the main characters of the assassin's creed franchise before Unity. These combat scenarios can be anything from a bar fight to a duel to an assassination. There WILL be stories for each game (save for Chronicles) but in order for me to be able to write those scenarios, I must play the games first. Do not expect to see Arno or Jacob and Evie Frye any time soon.

This is my first story so I hope it goes well! I will try to update at least once a week:) Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy

[MLM] Moving to another state to start anew was Ryan's best bet in leaving behind memories of a messy situation. But when Cash Durand tumbles into the backseat of his taxi, suddenly, Ryan's got another messy situation on his hands―this one might be worth sticking around for, though. Maybe even worth both of them acknowledging their individual pasts clinging to their present selves. ****** At the fresh age of twenty-five, Ryan decides to move out of his small (and homely) two-bedroom flat, opting for a new start, away from messy memories and messy situations. What he'll soon find is a messier situation; starting with the one-room flat in a rural Indiana town he can't remember the name of, where his wake-up calls are the shouts from the town common across the road, because of course, the one place he found was smack in the middle of the busiest street. A cabbie as a job seems like a step up from his bartending days back in Illinois, and, well, it's not great compared to his exercise science bachelor's degree gathering dust, but he's still proving to the world that he's found something all on his own. Then, a day after he got the job, Ryan comes face to face with a twenty-something beaten up by life, who has a fire burning constantly in the palms he curls into fists, dark shadows under his eyes, and who acts like Ryan should know him―like there is more to them than this moment, than who they are right now. Maybe to him; but to Ryan, he's just the cabbie driving the annoying guy to the ice rink or random bars. That's all there should be to them. Until the cycle of familiarity becomes the string joining them together, and the past tangles with the present--even states away. No one can steer clear of messy situations forever.
