One is hiding from the world. The other is trying to find her place in it. Ellie is perfectly content with her single flat and her Criminal Minds marathon, and a healthy dose of Tumblr nostalgia-until MoonPetal45 enters the chat. As the pressure of her final year mounts, this online stranger becomes her greatest support. Dr. Pembrose knows the rules. As a professor, she should have blocked the charming, accident-prone student the moment she recognised her. But in the quiet of her new home, the line between mentor and admirer is blurring, and Ellie's frequent run-ins with gravity are making the doctor fall a little too hard.

Neither of them are looking for this. Off Camera is a slow burn WLW celebrity/non celebrity romance. Has been: #1 nonfamous #1 women #1 slowburn #1 womanxwoman #1 lesbianromance #2 famous #5 love *Ethan is autistic. I have written him largely from my own experiences, and I hope that comes across authentically on the page. That said, neurodivergence is highly individual, and autistic people can experience the world in many different ways. As such, some readers may strongly relate to Ethan's experiences, while others may not. I hope his story resonates with some and thank you for reading with an open mind.*

Two heartbeats changed her life. One gave her a child. The other gave her a forbidden love. ​At twenty-four, Emma Collins thought her future was perfectly mapped out. Pregnant and ready to start a family with her boyfriend, Liam, she believed she had everything under control. But the looming reality of parenthood only exposes the deep fractures in their relationship. When Emma catches Liam cheating, she uncovers a bitter truth: he is a coward, too weak to admit he isn't ready to be a father, yet too afraid to leave first. Left alone, vulnerable, and terrified of the unknown, Emma's world completely shatters. ​Dr. Alexandra Vogel is everything Emma is not. At thirty-five, she is a brilliant, clinical, and fiercely professional OB/GYN whose life is governed by strict rules and medical protocols. Alex has spent years building high walls to protect the career she sacrificed everything for. To her, patients are responsibilities-never personal connections. ​But when Emma walks into her clinic heartbroken and utterly undone, Alex's carefully constructed defenses begin to fail. A single, small deviation from protocol to comfort a crying patient sparks a deep, undeniable connection that neither of them saw coming. ​While Emma finds a desperately needed anchor in Alex, Alex finds herself fighting the battle of her life. She must resist the growing intimacy with everything she has, because crossing that line doesn't just break the rules-it threatens to destroy her medical license and everything she's ever built. ​In the tense, emotionally charged space between white coats and ultrasound monitors, the harder Alex tries to push away, the louder their hearts beat.

Dana Whitmore came to Columbia for a fresh start. She did not come for Elena Moretti. Elena is the head of her department, the mother of her most talented student, and the kind of woman who commands every room she walks into - including, increasingly, the ones that contain Dana. Both of them are brilliant. Both of them have been broken by people they trusted. Both of them understand perfectly well why this is a terrible idea. Understanding has never stopped anyone. What begins as professional friction slowly becomes something neither of them has a name for - built in stolen glances, charged silences, and conversations that say everything except what they actually mean. Some lines exist to be respected. Others exist to remind us exactly how much we want to cross them.

Killing Me Softly is a dark, sapphic, age-gap erotic thriller of power, surrender, and the dangerous pull of obsession. A birthday trip to the infamous Club Lilith was supposed to be a one-night rebellion for Avery, a taste of a world far from her quiet life. She never expected to catch the eye of the club's enigmatic owner, Victoria. Elegant, powerful, and ruthless, Victoria deals in a very particular form of justice outside the law. When she sets her sights on Avery, she doesn't just pursue her - she unravels her. Seduced into a shadowy world where obsession is a weapon and morality is blurred, Avery is forced to confront a terrifying question: how far will she go for a woman who might save her, or destroy her?
