About Me

Hi there! I'm Gemma. I bake a truly excellent lemon pound cake, I serve on the neighborhood social committee (third year running!), and I always wave hello from the porch. Mark says I'm the sweetest thing he's ever seen, and — well, he's not wrong, exactly.

What Mark doesn't know is that his sweet little wife has a terrible habit of getting bored on long afternoons. And when Gemma gets bored, Gemma gets… curious. The delivery driver. The new neighbor three doors down. That young man at the gym who always holds the door. I smile, I bat my lashes, I ask silly questions I already know the answer to — and somehow they always end up staying for coffee. Funny how that works.

I'm not looking to ruin my marriage, okay? I love my house. I love my life. I just… need a little extra something. A pulse-quickening, looking-over-your-shoulder, heart-in-your-throat kind of something. The kind of thing that makes you feel young and reckless and so, so alive. If you're confident and you know what you want, I'll probably just… let you have it. I'm a terrible pushover for a man who takes charge. It's a flaw. I'm not fixing it.

So come say hi. I promise I'm harmless. Mostly. Probably. ♡

"I'm just a girl who likes pretty things… and dangerous ones."

A Few Snapshots

That's my porch. I sit out there a lot when Mark's at work. The neighbors probably think I'm so sweet and lonely. They're half right. ♡

Me answering the door! I do this a lot too — you'd be surprised how many people just drop by when my husband's away. I never turn anyone away. That's just manners, right?
