Short Story: A Perfect Match

So in short, I’ve tried everything. Risqué clothing, business meetings over dinner, a work trip where we had to spend the weekend away. He didn’t take the hint, even when I waxed everywhere and wore a Versace bikini. Cupid, I need your help. The writer of the letter was Faye Baker, CEO of Baker Enterprises […]

The Blurb: It all started with a mysterious blue note sewn into a wedding dress. Something blue. I’d gone to sell my own unworn bridal gown at a vintage clothing store. That’s when I found another bride’s “something old.” Stitched into the lining of a fabulously feathered design was the loveliest message I’d ever read: Thank […]

The blurb: My name is Sydney Lucas. I am smart, deathly shy, and 100 percent determined to make my own way in the world. Which is why I jumped at the chance to intern for Mr. Nick Brooks despite his reputation. After 10 failed interviews at other companies, he was the only one offering. Plus, […]

The blurb: I’m Payton Blake. Just another successful twenty-something woman living the dream… OK, that’s a lie. But I could be those things, if I had friends outside of work. If I didn’t treat watermelon slushies like a food group. Maybe if I’d had sex in the last year…  Even if I wanted a relationship and […]

The blurb: The name on the screen was “Absinthe.” But I knew her as the sultry voice blowing up my phone for late night chats about Proust and Hemingway interspersed between the filthiest little … mutually satisfying exchanges … I’d ever experienced in my life.  We’d never met.  Until the day she walked into my […]
