Curvy Chronicles

Camille Living in a small town was never part of my plan. I was born to live in a big city and take over the publishing world. I've always marched to the beat of my own drum. When my mother told me I was fat and needed to lose weight, I proclaimed that I was perfect just the way I am. I set my sights on the top magazine in New York which was run by men high on testosterone and low on sense. After introducing my knee to the nuts of a man who didn't know how to respect women, I found myself without a job, licking my wounds in a small town and plotting my next move. That's when I met him, Dane Toro, a man so hot and gorgeous he came with a warning label. I was told to stay away from him, that he had a dark past, and couldn't be trusted. The problem was I'd had a lifetime of doing what people told me not to do. Why would I make an exception for the sexiest man I'd ever seen? Dane Perhaps a small town wasn't the best place to hide from my past. When family obligations demanded I stay on Pretty Molly Bay, there were times when I thought I'd lose my mind. Then this sweet curvy distraction walked into my business with the same mistrust in her beautiful eyes as half the town. I was willing to plead my case to her. I soon learned that I would do anything for Camille and that mouth of hers.

In the neon glow of the Fort Worth Stockyards, Sydney has always been the one who pays: cover charges nobody else does, tabs nobody else claims, and the quiet emotional price of keeping friendships that take far more than they ever give. One Friday night a charming stranger singles her out for hours of dancing and attention she's never known. By morning the truth is brutal: she was never the prize; she was the punchline. Shame, betrayal, and a public humiliation that shatters her illusions force Sydney to look hard at the life she's been settling for, and at the woman she's allowed herself to become. What begins as the worst night of her life becomes the first step toward something fiercer: learning to take up space, to say no, and believe; really believe; that she is worth wanting exactly as she is. A tender, slow-burn romance about reclaiming self-worth, discovering the love that was waiting in plain sight, and realizing that sometimes the highest price you'll ever pay is the one you stop accepting. For every woman who's ever felt like the "before" picture; this is the story of becoming the whole damn glow-up.

Nova No woman likes being dumped, especially by the only man she'd ever loved. After it happened to me, I swore I'd never give my heart to another man. I would use them because I'd been used. Charlie was supposed to be just another one to scratch my itch, and then I'd go about my day until I met my next victim. The problem was I couldn't forget about Charlie. He wasn't just a patient or a good time. I wanted more, but was I brave enough to ask for it? Charlie They called her the black widow because she used men for sex and then dumped them. I didn't see what the problem was because that's exactly what I wanted from Nova. I wasn't ready to give my heart to another woman because I still loved my wife. When I lost Evie I lost the will to live. Nova saved my life when I wanted to die so the least I could do was give her what she wanted. We were having a good time, until she left me, just like she left all the other guys. Here I was thinking that I was special. What was shocking was how much I wanted to be.
