Guys, I had to book a flight for my grandma, and according to her passport, she's born in February, not July, as we have always celebrated. Asked, she said: “Well, you can't celebrate garden parties in February.”

At least 43 garden parties, AND THEY WERE ALL A LIE 😂😂
(I suspect some less nonchalant explanation, like bureaucracy in thirties’ Turkey, but the way she made my jaw drop 😂)

A sprinkle of thyme, a dash of magic - this fairy cooks her heart out to win a culinary award in Cappadocia. But how is she supposed to focus when the hot single dad is watching her every move - and just won't believe she's really, really human?

He's Satan. She's a shy zookeeper accidentally landing in hell after being mistaken for her evil twin. Can those two overcome all the odds and be HAPPY IN HELL?

"What do you mean I inherited half of Frank's Antiques? Who owns the other half?" Ellie huffed and plopped onto the pink kitchen chair with the bunny fabric.

Hi
#writingcommunity
! I'm Berna, a Turkish writer living with my family in Germany. I write rom-coms and romantasy, have high-functioning anxiety (example: I deleted the first version of this tweet 🤣) and run on coffee and spite. Here’s a picture of my cat.

THE HATING GAME x MISTLETOE & MR. RIGHT
Pro: Ellie inherited half of an antique shop
Con: it comes with a 6‘4 grump in a three-piece suit
Pro: If she wins a bet until New Year’s Eve, the shop is hers
Con: If she wins, she’ll lose him.

I stand by it: most contemporary romance enemies-to-lovers are just annoyemies-to-lovers and should be marketed as such.
ENEMIES TO LOVERS HAVE TO FIRST BE ENEMIES. NOT RIVALS, NOT HATERS, NOT MISUNDERSTANDING. ENEMIES!!!
