Maria

I grew up as the poor, bullied girl from the wrong side of the tracks. But once I had my glow-up, I shed my trailer-trash persona and created a new one. Now, they have new names for me.

Cold. B!tch. Sl*t.

But they dont know the real me.

All Ive ever wanted was to be loved. Adored. Cherished.

Yet, all I have to show for it is a long list of F-boys who only saw me as a good time.

After my so-called best friend betrayed me and I witnessed the man I thought I loved fall for someone else, I was determined to make a change.

But would the complicated charms of a handsome widower derail my growth?

I couldnt imagine loving another woman as much as I loved my late wife. I was content to spend my days living in the shadow of her memory, occasionally using faceless women to assuage the loneliness I felt.

Then, one rainy, fateful day, I met Maria. For the first time in years, I felt something other than lust for another woman. She floored me and flipped my routinely comfortable existence on its head.

But just when I started falling for her, my left-over loyalty towards my late wife led me to hurt the one woman whod shone a light into the shadows.

Can I move forward from my past? Or will my grief and guilt threaten my newfound happiness?
