At twenty years old, she has already won Olympic silver, but an accident has left her desperate to get back on her skis before the world learns the extent of her injury.

Both struggling with career lows, Juniper and Summer have more in common than they think. Even as they push each other, sparks begin to fly, but Juniper blames Summer for her slump, and Summer isn't going to let a relationship distract from her recovery. And only one of them can win the gold medal. This inconvenient attraction seems on a course for disaster from the start. But these are women who face the impossible every day, and there's a magic in the mountains that can thaw even the coldest hearts. *** Cleat Cute meets Delilah Green Doesn't Care. *** Season One complete at 90k words.

✨Wattys 2024 Winner: Most Engaging World✨ Witches and demons have hated each other for thousands of years. At least that's what the young witch, Meredith Huang, has been told all her life. She's never met a demon, but the stark difference between demoncraft and witchcraft is enough to prove that demons are vile creatures who can't be trusted. Then Meredith meets the dashing Onyx Castle, a woman who makes her heart flutter for the first time. There's just one tiny problem; Onyx is a demon. Unraveling their growing feelings for each other is the easy part. Together, they must overcome enemies who will do anything to tear them apart, figuratively and literally.

[2024 WATTYS WINNER] A wall separates their worlds. But when love climbs over it... everything breaks. Grace had no idea what she would find on the other side of the wall when the gates opened. Even less so that they wouldn't let her brother cross. Why? A blue-eyed and fierce commander, named Heather, holds the answer. She closed the gates to him. What she didn't expect, though, was to feel drawn to her in ways that would turn her life upside down. Now, not only does she have to find her brother and find a way to sneak him over, but she must also navigate her complicated feelings for the woman responsible for their separation.

To throw everyone off the scent-and protect her true feelings for August-Maisie's manager hatches a plan: fake a relationship with her best friend. Miraculously, August agrees. Now Maisie faces six weeks of pretending to date the one person she's always loved, all while tiptoeing around the unspoken truth that's lingered between them for years.
