A trip to Fiji with her dismissive boyfriend and his alluring mother lands Valentina into the most unexpected romance of her lifetime. ***** College student Valentina has been at a standstill in her relationship for three years, so when her boyfriend invites her on vacation to Fiji with his estranged fashion designer mother, Val can't think of anything worse. Mothers-in-law are notoriously one of the most dreadful aspects of a committed relationship, right? But nobody prepared Val for the aloof, refined Diana, who at first seems to absolutely detest her but soon warms under the tropical sun. As a unique and steamy connection sizzles and the two begin sneaking around, Val wonders if she's finally found the love she's been looking for in the most unexpected of places. But can their spark last, and is it worth what it will cost them? WARNING: This story contains mature themes such as depictions of domestic abuse and coercion that may be upsetting to some readers. Reader discretion is advised.

(slow burn teacher x student story, with much side story stuff) Ripped from her old life and forced to start over in Vermont, Ivy Blake didn't plan on falling for anyone... especially not her gorgeous English teacher. But with a broken home and a heart craving comfort, catching feelings was kind of inevitable. Author's Note: This story generally follows a timeline, but some days and events may not line up perfectly. I focus on the important stuff (e.g., schedules, key character info), so smaller details might get a little messy. Please be kind if you notice slip-ups! You can let me know in the comments and I'll fix them. :) Alsoooo!!! I'm bad with commas (or punctuation marks in general) and English isn't my first language... Maybe keep that in mind and be a little forgiving... <3

[WATTY'S 2022 SHORTLIST!] Marley Miller and Daniel Gold grew up going to camp together. They experienced each other's awkward teenage years, pulled pranks together, and even were each other's first... well... everything. After nearly four years of losing touch, the two accidentally run into each on the first day of their senior year of college. Marley learned how to build walls to protect her emotions, shutting herself out from her closest relationships. Daniel was the opposite, having no problem opening himself up to those he loved. The two seemed no longer compatible, discovering lies about the other and figuring out they were not the same as they were as kids. As time went on, the two of them realized that in order to truly move on, they would need to fight their battles on their own. Will Marley and Daniel ever figure out how to become the best friends they used to be, or have the years changed them for good?
