Tasha Zapata

When 17-year-old Zina receives a chilling message from her best friend Tasha’s phone—two weeks after Tasha’s funeral—her world collapses: "They buried me alive." Everyone says it's a sick joke, a hacker, a prank. But Zina knows Tasha. And she knows this message is real. As Zina investigates, she uncovers dark secrets buried in her hometown — including a cover-up, a secret society, and the possibility that Tasha was never meant to be found. With 24 hours to uncover the truth, Zina must risk everything to find her friend… dead or alive.

Love, betrayal, truth, lies, disappointments, success, happiness, sadness, death, desperation, and more. These are the challenges of life that have caused us to end up with wounds that are either visible, invisible or even both. In this story, Tasha is going to take us through her life and as well as that of those around her.

In the heart of a quiet town, a centuries-old curse stirs from the shadows. Long ago, on Valentine’s Day, Mary’s life ended in betrayal and blood. Now, her spirit lingers in a monstrous vessel—a cursed cat that brings death to any who dare speak her name. When teenage orphan Tasha Monroe adopts a stray cat at her boarding school, she unknowingly invites an ancient evil into her life. As students begin to vanish and chilling whispers of Mary’s curse resurface, fear grips the school’s ivy-covered halls. No one is safe from the creature that lurks in the night—a monster that kills without warning and vanishes without a trace. But the horror doesn’t end with bloodshed. It plays with its prey—taunting, lurking, and feeding on their terror. As Tasha becomes entangled in the legend, she realizes the curse is more personal than she could have imagined. With the town descending into chaos and the shadows tightening around her, Tasha must uncover the truth behind Mary’s wrath. But the question remains—can the monster be stopped, or is death inevitable once the name Mary is spoken? In Black Valentine, love and betrayal intertwine with vengeance and blood. And once the curse is awakened, the only gift Valentine’s Day brings… is death.

There’s a saying in Maplewood Hollow, that charming little town tucked between sleepy hills and winding rivers: “No one leaves without finding love.” Most call it superstition. Some call it fate. But for Camille Hart, it’s her last resort. At thirty-four, Camille has everything her younger self dreamed of—corner office, city skyline, power suits, and a calendar bursting with boardroom battles. But to her high-society mother, none of that matters if there’s no ring on her finger. Emotionally drained from failed relationships and tired of the pressure, Camille’s best friend—the fiery and intuitive Tasha Monroe—proposes something wild: “Take a month off. Go somewhere love might actually find you.” So against every instinct, Camille packs a single suitcase and heads to Maplewood Hollow, a place she vaguely remembers from a childhood visit. Her plan? Rest. Regroup. Return. But fate—and love—have a different itinerary. Enter Jude Maddox. The town’s reluctant handyman and ex-travel photographer with a haunted past and eyes that see right through your armor. Jude avoids tourists, especially the high-heeled, high-powered kind. But when Camille storms into town with her sharp tongue, vulnerable heart, and a broken sink he can’t ignore, their worlds begin to collide. What starts as harmless sparring turns into starlit walks, coffee-fueled confessions, and slow-burning chemistry even the town’s gossip mill can’t keep up with. But Maplewood’s magic always comes with a price. There’s Mrs. Lillian Gray, the town’s elderly innkeeper, who once believed in love until her husband vanished fifty years ago. Now, long-lost letters begin appearing mysteriously, forcing her to relive what she buried—and offering Camille an unexpected mirror. Then there's Beau Reynolds, Jude’s childhood best friend, back from the military with scars of his own and a quiet longing for Tasha—the only woman who’s ever seen past his charm. And just when things couldn’t get more curious, a mysterious columnist known only as “The Hollow Heart” begins posting cryptic, romantic riddles around town, eerily reflecting Camille and Jude’s unfolding story. At the heart of it all? The Midnight Festival. A once-in-a-decade event when the veil between longing and fulfillment is said to be at its thinnest. But as Camille begins to surrender to Maplewood’s magic and Jude’s steady, scarred heart, a thunderbolt arrives: her mother’s ultimatum. Return to the city by the end of the month, or lose the company she’s spent her life building. Now Camille must choose between the ambition she’s poured everything into—or a life that pulses with slow dances, warm bread, whispered secrets, and the kind of love that’s messy, healing, and true. And Jude? He must face the guilt that’s kept him from loving again and confront a truth that could either free them both—or fracture everything they’ve begun to build. The Town Where Love Waits is a heart-stealing journey of fate, choice, and second chances. With vibrant characters, sizzling tension, and a town that seems to know your heart better than you do, this is the place where love lingers—quietly, patiently—until you’re ready to see it.

She falls in love with the distrustful bigshot CEO of Luxe Textiles, Edward Cummings and Edward is falling for Olivia, but what happens if she lets her heart lead? Will she give up her career for love or love for her career? *** I hear she assaulted a local in Delhi, what a racist. _Exes15 Olivia scoffed tossing her phone into her purse and zipped it up clapping her hands together. "If you'd like, I'd put up that outfit," He leaned on the wall. "Maybe buy it off your hands," She spread her arms to keep them apart, Edward just had the best way of endearing her and she stood her ground. "You...you will?" She nearly forgot about the headlines. They walked together on the beach, she held her hands together. "I appreciate that," She bit her lip. He stepped in front of her and she stopped "I could grab my boat_" "Yes, I'd love to sail," Tasha stepped in wearing a green wrap up bikini and fabric around her waist, she rolled her eyes when Dante nudged her and she blushed. "Quit bugging me alright?" She said and bit down a laugh then blinked at Olivia. "Poor dear, I'm so sorry about that guy...," Olivia fidgeted locking her fingers, "Nevermind," Edward held her shoulder and she disliked his advances. "I know, he was really good looking, I guess you never can tell," She ranted holding on to a bunch of keys and sighed. "The boat," "Right," She said and they roamed to the docks. Olivia watched a crab wrestle with a broken shell and she saw another empty one. "Are you gonna give it or live in it?" He cackled unknotting a rope, he had help with the sails and she tossed it in the water. "No thanks, I'm fine, it's a really nice boat," "Thanks, it's just a rental," He said and he stepped inside stretching his hand. "No, thanks I got it," She stepped up and her other leg was stuck in-between. "Help," She crossed over. "It's slippery," He said and made it to the controls after he released the sails. "Are you sure you know how to sail? Because I'm concerned_" "You had to stand and watch me do a safety check. Olivia, there's a lotta things I had to learn," He said and twisted the keys and the jets rumbled spewing a stream of water. "Hang on," He said and she reached around his side. "This is not funny," She said leaning on his shoulder and he was the least ridiculous at the moment. "Here we go," Edward stirred the boat and he was aware of the direction of the wind and set sail across the shores till he was sure they hit the water. The smell of salt lingered in the air and he set his hand above his eyes at the distance. Olivia was wistful and held on, she couldn't think of the last thing to worry her, maybe a sail was what she needed the whole time. The water wobbled and the sky was getting grey and he picked up speed warranting another grip from Olivia. He felt a drip on his skin and she yawned. In a moment, the turbines gradually stopped spinning and her head rose stepping away from him. A smile returned to his face when he was sure they were safe, the island was just a few metres away, he would drive there in a moment but still, they had to enjoy the view. She sat down on a chair wistful about her dad's trips. "It's been a while since I've been on a sail," "Not long enough," He went to retrieve two glasses and handed her one. "Been a while since I've had a drink," She swivelled. She sipped and her eyes popped at the sweetness. "Apple juice?" He laughed. "I figure if we did, then none of us will be leaving this boat," She imagined careening and Edward laying on the edge, wasted and she shook her head. "Better safe than sorry," She crossed her legs
