Ivy Williams didn't come to Heartfelt University for drama. She came to pass her classes, chain-smoke her way through the stress, and stay out of trouble. Then she met Professor Sinclair. Cold, condescending, and infuriatingly attractive, Sinclair seems to have made it her mission to ruin Ivy's life one lecture at a time. But Ivy gives as good as she gets-and the more they clash, the more the tension starts to twist into something else. Something neither of them is ready for but both of them want far too badly. Sharp words turn into slow glances. Power plays turn personal. And soon, the only thing more dangerous than their rivalry... is what might happen if it stops. [wlw]

A story set up in a world where love is love. Meet Aaira and Saanvi. Travel with them through their journey of love, betrayal, trust, and so much more!

Two heartbeats changed her life. One gave her a child. The other gave her a forbidden love. ​At twenty-four, Emma Collins thought her future was perfectly mapped out. Pregnant and ready to start a family with her boyfriend, Liam, she believed she had everything under control. But the looming reality of parenthood only exposes the deep fractures in their relationship. When Emma catches Liam cheating, she uncovers a bitter truth: he is a coward, too weak to admit he isn't ready to be a father, yet too afraid to leave first. Left alone, vulnerable, and terrified of the unknown, Emma's world completely shatters. ​Dr. Alexandra Vogel is everything Emma is not. At thirty-five, she is a brilliant, clinical, and fiercely professional OB/GYN whose life is governed by strict rules and medical protocols. Alex has spent years building high walls to protect the career she sacrificed everything for. To her, patients are responsibilities-never personal connections. ​But when Emma walks into her clinic heartbroken and utterly undone, Alex's carefully constructed defenses begin to fail. A single, small deviation from protocol to comfort a crying patient sparks a deep, undeniable connection that neither of them saw coming. ​While Emma finds a desperately needed anchor in Alex, Alex finds herself fighting the battle of her life. She must resist the growing intimacy with everything she has, because crossing that line doesn't just break the rules-it threatens to destroy her medical license and everything she's ever built. ​In the tense, emotionally charged space between white coats and ultrasound monitors, the harder Alex tries to push away, the louder their hearts beat.

She doesn't paint people anymore. Not after the last time it cost her everything. Adrienne Voss built her world on control white walls, curated silence, and a reputation that keeps people at a distance. In her gallery, nothing is accidental. Nothing is out of place. And certainly, no one gets close enough to matter. Until Aurora Blake. Unpredictable. Chaotic. Infuriatingly alive. What begins as a professional collaboration for a high-stakes exhibition slowly turns into something neither of them planned for - late nights, sharp conversations, unspoken tension, and moments that linger far longer than they should. Aurora challenges everything Adrienne has carefully constructed. Adrienne unsettles everything Aurora thought she understood about herself. And somewhere between control and chaos, distance and desire Adrienne picks up a brush again. But this time, the subject isn't just art. It's Aurora. A slow-burn story of tension, power, vulnerability, and the kind of love that doesn't arrive gently it builds, breaks, and refuses to be ignored. --- Two women. One exhibition. And a portrait that changes everything.

Vivienne Blackwood is a thirty-four, a seasoned therapist in a quiet corner of London, known among colleagues for her composure and precision. Her office, filled with worn books, calming scents, and muted tones, is a sanctuary for those seeking healing. Yet, beneath the calm surface, Vivienne hides her own fractures, a dissolved engagement, a strained relationship with her mother and a creeping sense of emotional isolation. Nova Sullivan is twenty-one, an art student who hides behind humour and vibrant scarves. She enters therapy reluctantly, encouraged by a friend after her anxiety and panic attacks grow too heavy to manage alone. Outspoken but fragile, Nova wears her emotions openly, the opposite of Vivienne's pristine restraint. When their sessions begin, Vivienne sees Nova as yet another complex case. However, as weeks stretch into months, their conversations start to touch something deeper, curiosity, understanding, and a wounded recognition they share. Vivienne finds herself seeing the world anew through Nova's passion and raw honesty. Nova, in turn, feels seen for the first time by someone who listens without judgement. But desire is dangerous in the therapy room. As the line between care and connection blurs, both women must choose between professional integrity and the undeniable pull of something real. When Vivienne ends their professional relationship to preserve her ethics, their story doesn't end, it transforms. Trigger Warning: This story contains themes that may be distressing to some readers which may include discussions of mental health and panic attacks, emotional dependency and blurred professional boundaries, references to anxiety, depression and family conflict, mild references to alcohol use and past trauma and power imbalance due to therapist-client dynamic.
