Dani thought she could trust him. She thought their love could survive anything. Then she told him her secret, and it blew everything apart. 15 months later, she’s finally put herself back together. She's living the life she was meant to have. And Jeremy is nothing more than a painful lesson. Just life’s way of teaching her she can never trust anyone, no matter how much her heart insists.

"Trust me, you'll love this," she says. My heart races when she hands me a pair of black stockings. I stare at her, but she just nods. I sit and slowly pull them up my legs. I’ve never felt anything like this before. Never imagined anything could feel this good. But I stop. I shouldn’t do this. I shouldn’t like this. I’m a man. Then her hands find mine — she kisses me — and I forget all my doubts. My fears are gone. “That’s my girl,” she says. No one has ever called me that, but I nod my head. I am her girl.

I've been in love with him for nearly twenty years, but I've always hidden it. Just like I've hidden my true self. But when I find out he's coming to my town, I know this is my chance. He doesn't know this version of me—the real me. So when I walk up to him wearing a dress and with my long hair done perfectly, he doesn't recognize me. And when his eyes drift down my body, I know I've got him. Just like I planned. I've been heart-broken and alone since he walked out the door. He never gave me the chance to tell him the way I felt, and I've never forgiven him for that. Now, I'm going to ...

Paige knows it's the perfect gift for her best friend Gabe. A subscription to a self-help book club that promises to transform its clients into brand new people.

And when he feels more confident the next day at work, he wonders if maybe there is something to it after all. As he reads more and more, he doesn't realize just how much he's changing. Not when he starts to wear blouses to work. Not when he starts answering to Gabby. Not even when he and Paige start to have feelings for ...

Parker knew her life would change when she came out as a trans woman. But she never expected to be forced into an arranged marriage. Years ago, her parents made a deal with a crime family — the hand of their first-born daughter for the money to expand their business. They were a young couple. Already with one child, and a daughter on the way. But when that pregnancy ended in miscarriage — when they could never conceive again — it seemed they would never fulfill their end of the bargain. That changed when Parker told them her secret. Now, Parker is being forced to go on a date with a ...

I never believed in magic. Not until my best friend put on that ring. We couldn't be more different. I'm a football player, and Austin is a scrawny kid who looks like he still belongs in high school. But since our freshman year, we've been best friends. So close that he told me his darkest secret. One I promised I'd never reveal to anyone. As much as I encourage him to be himself, he stays hidden deep in the closet. Until the night he slides that ring on his finger. Now everything is different. He's different. He's finally getting what he's always wanted. But each change makes it more ...

I never imagined one ride would transform my life. After struggling for years, I finally have one shot. One chance to prove myself. But when my car sputters and dies 2000 miles from where I need to be, my dream might as well be dead too. I walk inside the lonely bar, hoping to find a mechanic. Instead I find him. The man behind the bar who makes my breath stop every time I look at him. The man who sees the real me. The man who will take me places I only fantasized about. When he offers to drive me across the country, I should know there's a catch. When he hands me that little pink bag, I ...

I dream of him night after night. He's dressed in a tuxedo that I'm sure cost more than my first car, while I'm wearing a sparkling black gown. But there are two problems with these dreams. First, I've never seen this man before. And second—I'm a man. My first day at my new job, I'm stressed. My bills are so far past due that I know the collection agents by name. If this job doesn't work out, my gas and electric will be shut off. So I'm already on edge. Then I see him. The man from my dreams. How can this be? How have I dreamed of him when this is my first time meeting him? Over the next ...

My wife wants a daughter. But we’ve tried everything. There’s just no way… I knew touring the new high school would be hard on her. Now we’re in the cafeteria, and she’s in tears. She wishes she had a daughter who could go to school here, and I wish I could give her that. But wishes don’t come true, do they? I laugh when I open the mail a week later. A letter confirming my registration? As a high school sophomore? Whatever. I’m 33 and long past graduation, so I toss it aside. But maybe I shouldn’t ignore it. Maybe I should go to the office and clear this up. Maybe I should ...

“Dancing on stage in front of a bunch of guys is one thing, but doing it while dressed like a girl and in heels? That’s totally different.” The idea is ridiculous. No matter how much I need the money, I can’t perform at the club. Not dressed like a woman. I only agree to dress up for him to prove how absurd this is. I want us both to laugh at how foolish I look. But when I brush the makeup on my face and smooth the dress around my body, my heart flutters. Now, we’re standing in his bedroom, just inches apart, and neither of us is laughing. His stare burns through me. His hands ...

What am I doing? I know better than to get involved with a student… And I learned the hard way to never admit my secret. Once I see her in my class, I can't think of anything but her.

It was just some Easter candy. I never thought it would change my life. Sure, I may not be the most considerate or caring person, but that’s no reason to snap at me the way my roommate did when I ate his entire package of yellow marshmallow chicks. So what if they had his name on them… and were half-hidden behind some old spices we never use? How could any reasonable person know they weren’t meant to be shared? Thankfully, though, he must have realized how unreasonable he was. Today he brought home some candy just for me. I’m glad his attitude finally changed. But is that the only ...

"If there's one thing I believe, it's that wishes never come true. The only scary thing is letting yourself believe they might." As a child, I dreamed of being a witch—just like all the women in my family. Every year for Halloween, I dressed up as one. When I closed my eyes at night, I prayed to become one.
