As the cruel, uncompromising, and terrifyingly brilliant CEO of Bloom Press, Roman Alvarez terrifies everyone-including her new assistant editor, Kaalia Amoretta. But on a work trip to the tropical coast of South Asia, under Kerala's storm-soaked skies, professional distance dissolves into something more dangerous. What should have stayed strictly business becomes intimate, charged, and impossible to forget. *** [LONGER VERSION] Roman Alvarez is infamous in the publishing world: cruel, uncompromising, and brilliant enough to get away with it. As the first Black and female CEO of Bloom Press, she has built her career on steel walls and impossible standards. Kaalia Amoretta, the new assistant editor hired to support her, expects a tyrant. What she doesn't expect is the quiet softness beneath Roman's sharp edges ... or the spark that flares every time their eyes meet. When Bloom's newest release hinges on securing a reclusive poet's anthology, Roman and Kaalia go on a "working vacation" to India. But what should have been a straightforward business trip unravels into something far more dangerous: monsoon-soaked nights, shared secrets, and a slow-burning tension neither woman can ignore. Under tropical skies and an old woman's poetry on love and colonialism, their professional boundaries blur, their walls crack, and a tender, terrifying love begins to take shape. But as they return to New York-with media storms rising, a billion-dollar lawsuit looming, and family expectations closing in-the real question emerges: Can a love born far from reality survive the world waiting for them? *** A sweeping, sapphic, slow-burn romance and the kind of love worth risking everything.

Felicity Rose Bennett has everything the world thinks she wants-chart-topping songs, magazine covers, fans who call her perfect. But the world doesn't know she's hiding. Burned out, suffocated by fame, and haunted by a stalker no one else knows about, Felicity flees to her mothers' quiet Toronto lake house just to breathe for the first time in years. She doesn't expect Harriet Johnson to walk through the door with a suitcase and a key. Harriet has spent the last four years running from her past-alcohol addiction, heartbreak, and the memory of the only girl she's ever loved. Sober now and fighting her way through med school, she only wanted a quiet summer. She didn't know Felicity would be here. She didn't know that sharing a roof again would feel like falling into a storm she thought she'd survived. They were childhood best friends turned teenage lovers-until Harriet broke Felicity's heart in the worst possible way. Now they're twenty-two, trapped by old history and new secrets, in the same house that once held their whispered dreams and first kisses. The deal is simple: her side, my side. But nothing about Felicity and Harriet has ever been simple. Not the history, not the wanting, not the way every look feels like a dare and every brush of skin threatens to set them both on fire. In the thick of July, in a house full of memories, two girls who once had everything will have to decide if second chances are worth the risk-and if loving each other is worth surviving for.

Caitlin, Peyton and McKenna are continuing high school. Halie is in college Jordyn, Paige, and Callie are here "Young love can still be real love." "Falling in love with your best friend is quite tricky, for you would have to learn to keep the feelings to avoid ruining your friendship."

[Book 2 in the Of Course series] The first time Emryn Ashford held a guitar, she dreamed of a career in music. After headlining the Bi-Con series in Nashville as an out artist, with the help of her talent scout (and newly promoted close friend) Hannah Nelson, her singles have climbed the charts. Now garnering attention from all angles and soaring to newfound heights, things can only go up from here. That is, until Emryn learns of her father's sudden death. Taking a step away from the spotlight, despite the growing fame, it feels like ambition and inspiration somehow slipped through her fingers. Returning to her small hometown with only 3 stop-lights and a McDonalds still stuck in the 90's, Emryn is unsure of where her life is headed. How is she going to get out of this slump, and does she even want to? And, why the hell is Mallorie Rivers playing piano in the only coffee shop in town? Hadn't she set her sights on New York? The last thing Emryn knew, she went running to Juilliard. Mallorie Rivers was done with Eddie Shaffer's shit. Period. And him not showing up, yet again, for their gig, was her final straw. And that's not including the fact that they've been on-again, off-again since they were nineteen. Before that pivotal moment her life changed forever. She loved her piano so much, it was a comfort these days. Keeping her steady, solid and holding together when it felt like the world was trying its best to tear her apart. She's forgotten the thrill of an audience or those wide open spaces where notes echo. Where she was and what she was doing now is safe. And her old dreams? They were simply just that-dreams. And dreams change. But why is Emryn Ashford picking up Eddie's guitar? Didn't she have a concert or a massive crowd of fans to greet?
