red heels & red flags by Scarlett steel

DISCLAIMER: All these stories are true.

With another failed marriage on her resume, Scarlett Steel finds herself single. Again. The last thing anyone wants to do after divorce is jump into another serious relationship. So she does what any other self-respecting woman (or man) would do: she dates with abandon, determined to find out what she wants in a man by first finding out what she doesn’t. The result? A series of comically disastrous dates revealing the red flags she was somehow blind to before. With awkward encounters and hilarious misunderstandings, maybe dating more than one guy was too much. Who knew what colorful characters she would meet… and run from?

This real life journey is both spicy and enlightening, offering a mix of humor, honesty, and valuable insight into future relationships and self-discovery.

“i will admit to feeling a bit like a vocal theater goer watching a horror movie at some points. like, “nooooo, don’t open that door!”
