Whether they were going after the highest AP test scores or a spot on the varsity teams in school, or even the title of "most likely to succeed" as graduation creeped closer, the only word they seemed to associate with each other was competition. Even when college rolls around and they expect to never have to deal with each other again, they find themselves clashing once more when they realize they've been assigned as roommates. Immediately, their top priority is to get as far away from each other as possible. Both girls want nothing more than a fresh start from high school, yet they can't accomplish that with a piece of their past sleeping in the bed right next to them. However, the longer they're forced to be around each other, the more they start to learn just how well they work together, and it's not long before their mutual loathing transforms into something far stronger. In the midst of discovering themselves and their feelings while also navigating university for the first time, their rivalry runs deeper than ever, leaving one last question to be answered: Who will be the first to fall? ✔︎ academic rivals to lovers ✔︎ mega slowburn ✔︎ girlxgirl college romance ✔︎ diverse cast ✔︎ dual pov status: ongoing - started: august 2023. awards & recognition: - #1 in lgbtpride - sept. 9, 2024 - #1 in femxfem - may 17, 2026

| teacher x student | wxw | slow burn | When 19-year-old Lena James enters English Literature class, she expects nothing special. Instead, she meets Ms. Sinclair her cold, sharp-tongued British literature teacher. Elegant, cutting, and unbearably superior. From the very first lesson, the 34-year-old woman seems to take pleasure in dismantling Lena's every opinion with cruel precision. Lena hates her. She hates the condescending red marks on her essays, the raised eyebrow that makes her feel small, and the way Ms. Sinclair lingers in her thoughts long after class ends. But hate this intense has a way of twisting into something far more dangerous. With a strict 15-year age gap and an unbreakable teacher-student boundary, their slow-burning tension threatens to break every rule both in literature and in real life. Some lessons aren't taught kindly. And some hatreds taste too much like desire. "Ms. Sinclair's Secret"

"Well if I don't need medical attention, why would I tell a doctor what happened?" "I'm not asking as a doctor," I clarify as I start trying to put some space between us. "Then what're you asking as?" She loosens her grip on my waist, allowing me to step back. "As someone you're trying to keep alive." "You just have to trust me, baby," She teases, a smirk growing on her face. "Stop," I say, firmly, ignoring how the pet name makes me feel. "Why?" She asks as she steps towards me and I back up. "You have a lot of questions tonight." "So do you," She counters, backing me up against my door. She rests her forearm above my head, leaning down. "If you cave, I'll tell you exactly what happened to my hands." "Cave?" I ask, feigning confusion. I know exactly what she's talking about. She only hums before her other hand drifts to the waistband of my pants. I try to control my breathing as she runs her fingers along the inside of it, almost absentmindedly. ~~~ Cyra escaped the dark world Verena calls home. She was never supposed to go back.

𝐄𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐚 𝐑𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝 does not believe in second chances. Not with people. Not with love. Not even with herself. Since her husband's death, she has drowned her feelings in wine and work. Same drink, same restaurant, same routine. Until one day she notices a younger woman and hires her on a whim, telling herself it is nothing more than company.

Sometimes, home isn't a place-it's a person. Amara Lune has built her life on movement-between jobs, between dreams, between people who never stay long enough to matter. At twenty, she knows how to survive. How to smile when she's exhausted. How to make everything look lighter than it feels. What she doesn't know... is how to let anyone see what's underneath. Isadora Laurent has spent years perfecting stillness. At forty-two, her world is controlled, structured, and carefully untouched by anything she cannot manage. Success came easily. Control came naturally. And love-love became something she learned to live without. When their worlds collide, it isn't dramatic. It isn't instant. It's quiet. A conversation that lingers a little too long. A presence that becomes difficult to ignore. A connection neither of them planned... and neither of them knows how to handle. Because Amara doesn't stay. And Isadora doesn't let people in. But somewhere between distance and closeness, between restraint and longing, something begins to shift. And for the first time in a long time- they both find themselves wondering what it might mean... to finally feel at home.

With a mother who drinks and a life that feels fragile at best, getting through the day is often all she can manage. When the new school year begins, Ms. Elmont becomes her mentor.
