"She told me I was hers, and I forgot how to be anything else. She was both the pain and the cure, and I swallowed every dose like it was the only thing keeping me alive. Her lessons were bruises I learned to beg for. Discipline was her language. Obedience was mine as she carved her name into my skin without even touching me and yet that's all I ever wanted....to be the one she needed. Ballet was my first love whilst she was my greatest sin." Vernanda Lucille the embodiment of control, excellence immaculate, and untouchable. As the CEO of a billion-dollar the most elite ballet academy in the city. Her presence silences rooms, her approval is rare and devastatingly addictive. Eighteen-year-old Junius Wilbert has spent her life stretching herself thin for perfection, every movement a performance under the suffocating pressure of a mother who sees love only in achievement. Ballet is her cage, her identity, her only worth. She bleeds for it. Starves for it. Smiles through the pain for it. Being born into the Winters family means absolute perfection, and Junius will do anything to achieve it. And then Vernanda sees her. Not just the technique but the hunger. The need to please. The ache to be chosen. Junius becomes her next masterpiece. But Vernanda doesn't mold dancers. She owns them. Under her command, the girl sculpts into something exquisite. Her every movement, every breath, choreographed to Vernanda's will. What starts as mentorship becomes fixation. A gaze too long. A touch too lingering. A dominance that sinks into the marrow. Vernanda doesn't ask. She corrects. She claims. She consumes. And Junius? She was born to perform. Even when it destroys her.

Book 3 of In The Margins Series! Can be read as a standalone! Lucia Pierce has spent her entire life learning what it means to be great. At twenty-four, she is one of the most talented college softball pitchers in the country, carrying a reputation that seems to grow with every game. Everyone expects her to succeed. Her coaches believe in her. Scouts are watching. Her family is endlessly proud of her. And Lucia knows just how lucky she is to have a life filled with people who love her unconditionally. So why does it sometimes feel like she's drowning beneath it all? Between a demanding final year of college, the pressure to prove herself on the mound, expectations for her future, and the constant fear of what happens if she isn't everything everyone believes she can be, Lucia has become an expert at keeping the harder parts of herself hidden. Because being the best has always felt easier than admitting she's tired. She's spent so long trying to balance everything - school, softball, her future, her family, and the expectations she's placed on herself - that somewhere along the way, she starts losing pieces of who she is. And the worst part? She doesn't know how to stop it. She doesn't know how to ask for help. She doesn't know how to slow down. She doesn't even know who Lucia Pierce is when she isn't standing on a pitcher's mound, chasing the next win, the next record, the next expectation. She's drowning beneath a life that looks perfect from the outside, slowly losing herself while pretending she has everything under control. Nothing feels right anymore. Until Addie.

Lifelong Connection: The Sequel to Logged In The Tumblr chats are gone, but the real story is just beginning. In Logged In, they defied the boundaries of teacher and student, moving from a screen-lit anonymity to a reality more intense than either could have imagined. Now, in Lifelong Connection, Ellie and Dr. Pembrose face their greatest challenge yet: navigating the messy, beautiful, and demanding landscape of a life built together. Spanning over two decades, this sequel chronicles the evolution of a partnership that refuses to be ordinary. What happens when the thrill of the "forbidden" fades into the deep, often gruelling reality of domesticity, career shifts, and the complexities of a family? As the years unfold, the dynamic that once thrived in the secret corners of Tumblr must now survive the spotlight of their shared life. From the quiet, intimate rituals of their mornings to the high-stakes friction of their professional worlds, Lifelong Connection explores the endurance of their bond through every transition. Expect the same heart-wrenching angst, the razor-sharp tension, and the electric intimacy that defined their beginning-but transformed. As they grow together, they will discover that the most difficult "scene" isn't one played out in the dark of a room, but in the vulnerability of being truly, publicly known. Some connections aren't just for a term. Some are for a lifetime.

The first time Stephanie Ivan tried to stop loving Myra Russo... she lasted three days. That should've been her warning. Because loving Myra was never soft. Never safe. And definitely never meant for someone like Stephanie. She was just a middle-class girl with strict, suffocating parents and a future that had already been decided for her. No risks. No mistakes. No secrets. Then she met Myra Russo. Rich. Untouchable. Dangerous in the quietest way. A girl who lived in a world where million-dollar gifts meant nothing, where dreams were granted with a whisper, and where power moved silently behind closed doors. Stephanie knew she didn't belong there. But Myra kept pulling her in anyway. And when Stephanie offhandedly confessed her dream of studying Anatomy in one of the most prestigious institutions in Russia... it came true. No explanation. No name. No way out. Now she's trapped between two lives one where love like hers could destroy her family... and another where walking away from Myra might destroy her. Because Myra doesn't chase. She doesn't beg. She doesn't even ask. She just chooses. And once a Russo chooses you... you don't leave. Not clean. Not whole. Not ever.

"Spread your legs for me." I climbed onto the mattress, heart pounding. I lay back and slowly opened my thighs, shutting my eyes tight because I knew how wet I was. The cool air hit my soaked panties, and I felt even more exposed. Andrea leaned down, hovering over me. Her lips pressed a small, almost gentle kiss to my neck. Then she whispered against my ear, breath warm, "I don't know what the fuck came over you tonight, Lalia, but don't ever do it again. Because there are repercussions, sweetheart." Her hands ran slowly down my thighs, fingertips tracing the sensitive skin. "These pretty thighs," she murmured. "Open your eyes, baby," she whispered. I opened my eyes, breathing hard. "Look at them. Look at what's between them. Look at your whole body. Do you see it?" I nodded. "They're mine," she said, voice low and possessive. "Every single limb. Every nerve. Every inch of your body is mine, Lalia. I don't want you to ever think they are not." ..... Lalia Bishop is tired of the pills, the white walls, and the careful way people talk to her like she's glass about to break. Diagnosed with borderline personality disorder after a suicide attempt, she's been in and out of psychiatric hospitals for years, cycling through therapists who either pity her, fear her, or grow frustrated with her unpredictability. None of them lasted until Dr. Andrea Cross.
